I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to speak my mind, to state what I believe even when it's directly at odds with billionaire power. I'm among the minority allowed to do it. But it's not a privilege. It's a right. And everyone should possess it.

On the other hand, no one ever lost money by telling billionaires what they want to hear. The airwaves are full of the oligarchs' minions, reciting their creeds as if these were some kind of arcane truth they've stumbled across. Almost every political conversation is dominated by these elite lies.

We claim to treasure free speech, above almost anything. But on the most critical issue, very few of us are free to speak. The majority are silenced by fear of censure or loss of employment. This conspiracy of silence looks more like what you'd expect in an authoritarian regime than in a democracy.

One problem is that many articulate, confident people are forbidden by the terms of their employment to speak out. To acquiesce in the power that threatens everything is acceptable and uncontroversial. To contest it brings your employer "into disrepute" and could have you sacked.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Patric's work is perfect for this cover.
Approaching simple clean design with rich texture and lighting-- combining the simple and the realistic-- creates a contrast of elements.
Contrast is what dynamics are.

Cartoon with two panels. The first panel shows a man asking AI on his smartphone: ‘ChatGPT, when will we run out of clean drinking water?’ In the second panel we see a robot with multiple arms, consuming several large bottles of water, pouring them down its giant mouth. A speech bubble above the robot’s head reads:’ In the next couple of years!’

According to the United Nations, the world is entering an era of global water bankruptcy. Today's cartoon by @danielmedinacomics.bsky.social. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com

The "pick me!" POTUS. 🙄

Imagine going on the Internet to tell the whole world you’re an idiot.

Tucker Carlson, who helped give US Trump and promoted the Great Replacement Theory, claims he’s lost friends defending Trump, that Trump has betrayed him along with Americans and offers a public apology for misleading the American people.
