[a character has to choose between two buttons]
- Judges are evil bolsheviks who have way too much power
- Justice is way too lax on crime

Just checked your bsky account, great comics lol. i missed smugideologyman on reddit, i hope you make a community on lemmy for your posts
Thanks a lot, I appreciate this!
I actually do plan to make a c/smugideologyman on lemmy.
Give me a week or two, I have other things to sort first, then I’ll get to it. Already have the okay from the subreddit’s mod team!
Do you think there’d be a point to making a separate c/community just for my comics/content?
Imo i don’t think so, specific artists of a niche haven’t ever really been popular here; it’s better to make one big community full of everyone who wants to be there, so all posts would get more traction (fyi some lemmy clients support basic tagging of posts by adding [insert tag here] so you could mark your posts with [Bad] if you’d like :)
Example:
Yeah that’s what I thought too, thanks for confirmation!

…now imagine if the USA had done the same for Trump between 2020 and 2024
Wohooo!
Way too lax on rich-people crime****
Justice is too lax on crime in the sense that serious crimes (ones that intend to hurt actual people either by hurting them, or taking away their autonomy or life) are punished by using a method shown not to work: incarceration.
Most other ‘crimes’ aren’t really crimes.
Most other ‘crimes’ aren’t really crimes.
White collar crimes are absolutely crimes, and not punished severely enough. They often create larger amounts of indirect hurt than a typical robbery, with less penalty.
incarceration
Incarceration is a necessary step, even for rehabilitation based systems, in the case of violent crimes. You need to remove the people from the situations that caused them to be like that, and prevent them from hurting others in the process of rehabilitation.
Not everyone is capable of going through rehabilitation either, and you need some method to keep them removed from society.
