If bug bites are a normal part of mosquito life, why would a mosquito consider it to be ironic that they were bitten? They'd just think it's normal.

Foxes like eating rabbits, but wolves like eating foxes. Do you think a fox who gets eaten by a wolf while snacking on a rabbit thinks "that's ironic"? Not unless a human who got eaten by a tiger while eating a hamburger thought it was ironic. No, to carnist humans, foxes, and mosquitoes, eating other animals is a fact of life, unremarkable. This comic relies on the premise that a mosquito would think of the human-mosquito relationship the same way a human would. But they wouldn't. A mosquito, even an intelligent talking mosquito, would not feel that much empathy for humans, just as most humans choose not to feel empathy for cows.

Yeah it's not wobbly at all. How would you even put jelly in a bottle???

I have a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to politics that convinces people I'm some sort of troll when I say completely reasonable left wing political views. I guess other leftists feel the need to qualify and speak softly and really try hard to make themselves understood by the other side. I don't care about making my views palatable to reactionaries, and I guess for some reason that makes them unpalatable to other leftists as well. It's really fucking weird.

The world of matter is an illusion created by the mind. The true reality of the world is a network of conscious agents. Everything really is alive.

Hey, we still laugh at scientists who propose good ideas

Whereas in a communist economy where people didn't have to struggle to survive, game developers could focus on improving their craft and telling whatever the funnest story they can think of is. We can already see this on a small scale with the difference between indie passion projects like Hades, and AAAA cash grabs like suicide squad. Imagine if everyone could afford to chase their passion instead of money.

But he doesn't want different neighbours. He loves Sponge and Pat.

If you like the tactics soulism adds to the leftist arsenal, you should read the soulist manifesto at http://soulism.net. There's only a few dozen of us, but after reading the manifesto, I saw some pretty huge failures in the mainstream leftist worldview. Most leftists want to win a material victory against Capital, but they categorically refuse to deconstruct the social reality created by Capital to control us. Socially, they're reactive. They take the way their opponent describes the world at face value and only disagree when the scientific method disagrees. But most of our reality is social, not scientific, and the scientific method doesn't help you with that. The mainstream right is much better at crafting realities - a process we soulists call magic - than the mainstream left is. Escaping the body prison doesn't really help if you can't even begin to challenge the mind prison.
