Jen SorensenThis week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle
Fiordaliso_456@jensorensen This is very smart!✌️
Chris@jensorensen Step 8: "sensible cebtrists" try to make the occupation slightly less of a shitshow and cop 100% of the blame
Step 9: hawks run for office on a "stop the war" platform.

Toni Aittoniemi@ASprinkleofSage @jensorensen And the hawks will say of all this: See, war is human nature, there’s nothing to be done! 🤷♂️ .. which is why it continues.
CJPaloma might be hiking@gimulnautti @ASprinkleofSage @jensorensen it really has been quite a trick when you think about it- there are currently billions (with a b) of people who have never resorted to violence on others in their adult lives…and yet… I'd imagine a good chunk of those folks might buy into the "It's just HuMaN NaTurE to be abusive jerks" idea
@ASprinkleofSage @jensorensen "I was wrong, But after 10 years of learning to fight and kill for oligarchs, I learned* golly gee wilikers!!!
And now, I'm the best person to lead you!!!"
meanwhile the millions of protesters who have not had to ever to go off to war to see how bad it is are just 10 or 20 years older.
*And I've made quite a few friends who own companies that profit from wars, but I won't mention that.

x 🏜️@jensorensen didn't you write the same comic like 25 years ago?
wb x64@sleepytako @jensorensen my depressing thought exactly
@wilbr @sleepytako You're almost right -- this comic is a repost from January 2020, when it seemed like the US was about to declare war on Iran.
@jensorensen @wilbr Thanks for the reply and all your great comics over the years. For real I thought it was a new one, so it's pretty funny that it actually was a repost. I was being silly about how it feels just like 2001 again but with even less competency.
Mrs.Malice ❤️🔥✨@jensorensen genuine question, why is your alt text in all caps? perhaps you didn’t know this, but some screenreader software will read out each capital letter, rather than the full word. it’s also harder to parse visually for sighted folks, especially those with dyslexia. just wondering if you’d ever be open to converting it to sentence case at titlecase.com or something
@mrs_malice @jensorensen could've used an OCR app which would literally copy each letter in the uppercase comic font
@wilbr @mrs_malice Correct, it is the OCR app copying the comic font
Danny Boling ☮️This is excellent. And maddening.
ptvirgo@jensorensen We'll need to hold people accountable then.
LoseFriendsandAlienatePeopleWar isn't stupid. American citizens are stupid for electing people that clearly lying. Them they get us into war, lie about the enemy having weapons and these morons believe it.
su_liam@LoseFriendsandAlienatePeople Yeah. It’s just an American thing. Germany and France certainly didn’t come within a hair’s breadth of fascist control, and England certainly doesn’t have a Labor party that makes Thatcher look normal and Conservatives and Reform that are themselves fascist and fascist-with-aristocratic properties. Nope. Americans are just uniquely stupid. Relax.
Whataboutism. Yes, let's relax and get into wars that won't end.
Jo - pièce de résistance@jensorensen it’s just missing the profiteers in the middle raking in the cash on top of dead bodies, and bribing the hawks.

Andrew Wigglesworth@jensorensen A "bloody disaster" for who? Not the war industry, or those whose of the capitalist class who depend upon military action to defend their interests.
These imperialist wars don't happen for no reason.
Doug Jayne@jensorensen another aspect that pisses me off is Trump didn't even try to manufacture consent for the inevitable war crimes committed in our name. He thinks so little of us.
Justin Fitzsimmons@jensorensen what year is it .jpg
SarcastiCat@jensorensen This week. Last week. Next week. Every bloody week.
Belakor@jensorensen "...but no one held accountable." Will be the words on the tombstone of our nation.
