"It's the same as when people say "it's ok to do books only for women because men din't read". No men read a ton but right now there aren't many books for men 'cause men are barred from publishing because publishers only publish women who specifically do political left wing propagands The solution isn't really to do propaganda to the right is to bring back a status quo where artists published whatever without need of being megaphones for ideology I wouldn't be doing comics about how the wokes try to censor me if the wokes weren't trying to censor me. I would just draw boobs The whole "we need"

"If youre a nationalist or even just right wing and youre holding back your views at this point then I dont know what to tell you. The most important thing you can do is speak plainly and normalise our talking points so the rest of the population feels safe to parrot them. Thats 95% of the task at hand. Normies need to feel safe to parrot the things we say. Everybody I talk to in the real world is anti-foreigner or as ''racist'' as they think they can get away with. As soon as you signal it's safe it all comes pouring out. These millionaires know that too. They also have family and friends"

"An example of how what seems like a harmless plastic bag can injure or even kill wildlife. Fortunately this cockatoo was able to break free not long after this video was taken. (This video was shot a few years ago.) Properly disposing of plastic bags can help save wildlife"
