This is kinda where I'm at. So far it's been a lot of hot air, like always, but no one's been arrested or had their subsidies cut yet.

Tap for spoilerI made a comment less than a day before the current drama saying all they ever do is talk shit, so hopefully now that I'm posting this they'll have a real falling out

Well, of course the real answer is that calling it fraud is simply how they justify the transfer of wealth to already obscenely rich people. But as for how the propaganda works, it ties into how they don't believe in due process. Right now it's most visible in how they're kidnapping people, but it also extends to fraud. They claim fraud, no prosecution happens because ThE CouRtS ArE cORrUPt, and so they get to go outside the law and do things like cut already allocated Medicaid funds without losing support.

this isn't a falling out. i swear there's been an article once a week since january pretending This Is IT between the richest man in the world and one of the most corrupt, but turns out, they have a lot to offer each other. they're talking a bunch of bullshit like they always do and news outlets are reporting their meaningless words uncritically like they always do.

wake me up when spacex loses funding.

You're not an asshole for going faster, you're an asshole for tailgating

Huh, I misremembered that last scene as a kiss, but I checked and I guess they do just hug. So at least that part isn't so bad. I think the rest of my problems with the season are still legit though

I guess I'm the only one disappointed by season 2? I feel like they could have cut half of it and told the same story. Nothing even came close to the powerful messaging of the season 1 prison arc.

spoilerK2SO felt shoehorned in, ~~the love plot felt super gross considering Cassian's last act in Rogue One is to make out with some other chick,~~ the whole bit with Saw was inconsequential nonsense (so was the ep where Cassian was captured by those gangs in the forest), they pulled a "bury your gays" trope... plus a lot of the pacing just felt wack.
It wasn't the worst or anything, but it was a pretty weak follow up to that great first season.

And that's the punchline

The art is awful and the jokes are either literal nonsense or annoyingly simple. Same kinda stuff being said in this thread. Same reasons anyone dislikes a comic. Just doesn't resonate. I can't say why people decide some stupid shit works for them and other stupid shit doesn't.
