    The actual containment methods are programming a script to do the calculations. Some calculations take thousands of smaller steps that you would lose your mind doing. Finite Element Analysis comes to mind. The number of nodes one might use for FEA today would make doing the calculations by hand mind numbing.

    Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they’re going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they’ve done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they’re all the same comic. The last big one was the “thanks Obama” meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

    This isn’t a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It’s about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.


  • This isn’t about leftists. The guy is dressed like a farmer, who majority voted for Trump. Trump turned around and immediately cut subsidies that small business farmers rely on, so many are now struggling. The comic is saying that they will still blame Biden despite being screwed by Trump. This could also be viewed as shorthand for any trump voter.

    In reality, we’ve seen many farmers now communicate that they regret voting for trump. Alittle too little too late, it seems. They aren’t as dumb as the comic artist paints them in that sense, just unempathetic.

    I think this is a failure of merit distribution. Technology,collaboration, and industrialization solved scarcity. Capitalists argue that it was capitalism which spurned the extreme speed of these advancements - I’d argue that society was already having it’s advancements accelerate. I’d argue that we solved scarcity directly in spite of capitalism, which only feeds off this advancement parasitically.




  • You cut out a portion at the beginning that may be relevant depending on how one defines Fascism (as academia never fully and completely agreed on the definition).

    Duvos is an antagonistic force that collects destructive Old World weaponry in an effort to conquer the world,[1] though it has yet to be directly seen in the My Time series. Duvos is known for having smog, an unusual sight above most other civilizations since the end of the Age of Corruption[2].

    However, I think the stronger argument against Duvos being Fascist is further down.

    The economy of Duvos is significantly impacted by its agricultural challenges. During a conversation between Duvos Soldiers and Mort and Zeke, the soldiers from Duvos reveal that their homeland suffers from harsh weather and scarce sunlight, leading to low crop yields. This suggests that the Empire’s aggressive militaristic stance may be driven, in part, by the need to secure resources, especially food. One soldier shares a personal note about his sister aspiring to be a botanist, aiming to address the nation’s food scarcity. The conversation hints at a hope that if Duvos could resolve its agricultural issues, the need for conflict might diminish.

    Duvos being domineering due to suffering from a food shortage seems more colonialist out of necessity than out of a fascist ideology. At the same time, without actually seeing the country’s inner workings, it’s hard to say.

    Here’s a way back link to the game’s lore, as cited in the wiki.
