          I kind of feel like, with Robin pulling the Drama Tag in Shortpacked, it’d be somehow appropriate for the next round of Drama in Dumbing of Age to revolve around Robin being killed by police violence.

          tbh I’m confused at how calm everyone is about the fact they are gonna be arrested. I thought you were supposed to try avoiding being arrested? Not only because it sucks but also because if you’re arrested it makes it harder to organize further protests?

            Getting arrested intentionally was a tactic used in the 60’s. It’s of questionable use in the modern day and I’m not really sure it was a good idea then either.

              It’s still used occasionally, I think, but mostly by high profile people. It can draw more attention.

              Even in this case “professor and former Congressmember arrested at protest” is good publicity.

              Reverend Martin Luther King wrote all about this in his letter from Birmingham Jail, on there being moral obligation to break laws when following them does not lead to justice,

              it’s about breaking unjust laws so as to call attention to them and get the public to NOT ignore ongoing injustice,

              a majority of his strategy was basically about using peaceful tactics to bait white people and authority into being violent so as to get them to disgrace themselves in the public eye and on national television

                A lot of it was, but there was also a lot of more direct resistance: strikes and boycotts that cost the people discriminating against black people actual money, rather than just drawing attention.

                And in that case of course, police/government brutality was a direct part of what he was opposing. That’s something that makes me question some of the strategy of these encampment protests when directed at issues like Gaza. Then initial protest certainly calls attention to the issue itself, but when it’s inevitably broken up violently, much of the focus shifts to police violence and the right to protest, which here is only loosely related to the genocide.

              Why do you doubt how a tactic that allowed them to win was a good idea then ?

              (whether it’s still a good idea these days is another question)

        It’s fun here and for me in general, so I let it go, but if the comic wanted to go in a more serious direction with the relationship with these two, Robin’s behavior is very easily fucking creepy.

          Unfortunately for me I think my personal patience has run out a lot for both Robin and Carla.

          I think it basically works, in much the same way as the universe shitting on Danny in the early stages of the comic, as Willis jokingly rebuking their own work, in this case, how Robin could be so self-centered and clueless in Shortpacked, but Leslie tolerated it with only scattered exceptions.

          Here, Robin is honestly hardly even doing anything some of the times Leslie’s patience meter runs dry (not this instance, this is obviously an example of Robin being inappropriate), yet Leslie’s type seems to be… kind of a huge mess in general, judging by the terrible dentist she dated/is dating still?

      Robin hits a sweet spot of being a lot more competent than she seems, but still not quite competent enough. Like when she got extra security when Ross was out on bail.

        Never actually knew who Speedy Gonzalez was… just went, “Yeah, that sure is somebody this lunch special is named after.” (I see this on menus around here a lot– at a certain level of Mexican chain restaurants, but not all part of the same chain. Like three or four different ones? Anyway, curious if people in other places see the same– I’m in Michigan.)

          As a 53-year old, I would see Speedy Gonzalez cartoons on afternoon cartoon shows but as reruns. The cartoons were made in the 50s and 60s. He was just a very fast mouse, with all of the other mice being slow, which I did not realize as a child was a way of saying Mexicans were lazy siesta-takers. So, maybe not the best thing to look up.

            Well, as with most things, it’s grey and open to interpretation as to how good a thing to look up. Cartoon Network took Speedy Gonzales off in 1999, and brought him back a few years later after a backlash about his removal from Hispanic groups.

                Unfortunately stereotypes + lack of representation work.

                when I moved to LA i was surprised to be find the Open, Gracious, friendly Relaxed stereotype of Californians was almost entirely from Mexican Americans, and whites were pretty uptight.

                and I had been lied to about Mexicans growing up by stuff like Speedy Gonzales cartoons.

                After a lifetime this stuff adds up.

            I don’t remember that aspect, though I haven’t seen a Speedy Gonzalez cartoon in decades. He was a super-fast mouse, the other mice were just normal speed, not especially slow – at least as I remember it.

              He had a cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, “The Slowest Mouse in All Mexico”, who showed up in a few episodes, generally requiring Speedy to save him. But yeah, most of the mice were just not speedsters.

                Clarification from an old fart: Slow Poke Rodriguez was assumed to be vulnerable but he carried a huge gun and could defend himself that way from cats.

                probably why he doesn’t show up more.

        I literally do that all the time. Also to people that I try to reply to. This is a terrible format.

        I’m sorry; smartphones have existed for almost twenty years. At some point when are we going to stop having a tiny a tiny five-letter link be the main form of chatting, especially when it’s one space away from a giant thirteen-letter link that basically says “Fuck this person, their comment shouldn’t exist.”

          Don’t be ridiculous, we know that the police department who not only covered for Blaine but actively helped him commit crimes until he became a liability that they had to silence at the behest of local organized crime would never do anything morally questionable.

            There is a difference between the mob having bribed one cop and the entire department helping Blaine.

            Which isn’t to say the cops don’t do shady shit on systemic level, especially when it comes to protests and harassment.

      Are you referring to Senator Moore, who was banned for 10 months from the House floor for criticizing one of his recently-dead colleagues, the former Speaker of the House Ralston, in front of Ralston’s family during a memorial service on the House floor, and was then arrested for attempting to return to the house floor before the ban period was up?

    “They can’t arrest me, I’m a senator,” I have no clue if Willis wrote that as is a year ago or if he made a recent edit but man is that some good meta humor…also it feels like Robin is going for the same Bernie Sanders hype bernie got when he was arrested for protesting back in his younger years.

There were over 30 years of events that led up to that war going back to the end of the Cold War, but if you suggest that it wasn’t caused by Putin waking up on the wrong side of the bed one day and deciding to be evil by invading Ukraine, a whole bunch of people freak out and act like you’re a horrible monster.

    I do have one weird bit of confusion and it may be because I’m not familiar with Indiana’s protest.

    But why are they protesting the university’s investments in weapons versus, you know, the genocide itself?

    It seems like the latter is more important.

          I think the logic is: (A) If we protest the war while on university grounds, the university _won’t_ do anything about it. (B) But if we protest the university’s actual involvement in the war, then the university _might_ do something about it. This is good, because every little bit helps in the bigger picture. (C) Therefore, we will protest the university’s involvement and do it on university grounds.

      Because the weapons are the one that the University could actually, easily, do something about?

      Getting the university to break their links to weapon tech is probably more accomplishable then getting the university to fund and man a direct military intervention against the genociding forces.

          In the loosest of senses. The university is not “funding” weapons, it’s invested in the company. Any individual university’s investment is a tiny part of the value of any of the companies. And of course weapons used in this genocide are a small part of the profit for any of those companies.
          Which isn’t to say pushing IU to divest isn’t a good goal, it’s just not going to have the direct and immediate effect of stopping anything.

        Except university protests are usually against the larger issue.

        Like the protestors against Vietnam are against Vietnam as a whole because the people they’re protesting to are not the university but the government and society as a whole.

          Okay, well the IU encampment and many other encampment protests at universities around Gaza hav involved calls for divestment. At IU, the encampment was organized by the IU Divestment Coalition.

          They are protesting the genocide as a whole, and their demands focus on one small part the institution they’re at plays in it. Having actionable goals as part of your protest is a good thing.

      It acts as a smaller, achievable goal within a larger strategy. “Stop the genocide” involves stopping all the smaller machine resulting in the genocide, including the groups investing in the weapons being used. If this group stops this one campus from investing in those weapons, and a dozen other groups stop several other big investors, then suddenly the weapons manufacturers don’t have the money to make the weapons and they can’t be used in the genocide. Multiply that out to every cause, and that’s how you stop it (in theory).

      Plus, just showing that there is a large group of people resisting the genocide, whether or not they’re doing it the most effective way possible, can both bring in additional people who oppose the genocide but wouldn’t be willing to resist it on their own. And it can be a threat to the people heading the various supporting machines, which might cause them to stop i.e. creating weapons.

      If nothing else, it’s worth protesting because a school has no business investing in military weapons. The money it’s wasting on weapons should be going to things that actually make sense for a place of learning, like maintenance or financial aid for student, not exploding foreigners.

        Not to say they should be investing in military companies, but that’s not how investing works.
        They’re not wasting money, they’re making money by investing in companies that provide good returns. This gives them more money to spend on things like maintenance and financial aid in the long run.
        If the protests pushed them to divest, they’d invest the money in other companies instead.

      Gotta start somewhere, and i assume it’s a weekend but idk if the university can take much of a stance like “if you have atest scheduled on this day and walk out to protest we will fail you” or so tho i assume there’d still be legal backings if leslie’s not conflicted and being like “if i protest in this, i might lose my job” tho i imagine freedom to protest is a thing tho idk if it’d also turn into a ‘teacher strike’

      She’s not real, though. It’s okay to love characters who display traits you wouldn’t personally want to be around IRL. In Robin’s case, because she’s a little shit-stirrer and a wacky/silly presence in the comic, but also because she clearly likes Leslie a lot and is refusing to come to terms with it in a healthy way. That’s genuinely fun and interesting for some people.

      I’m never sure what the confusion is about people enjoying a fictional character’s nonsense.

        Also because it’s a reversal of their Shortpacked! dynamic. In the previous comic, Leslie was the one who was basically stalking and mooning around Robin for years despite Robin’s repeated insistence that she had no interest.
