/r/PoliticalCompassMemes is currently my favorite forum on Reddit.
- Auth left: What are you doing there?
- Larisa: We’re building a lava moat!
- Auth left: Excellent! An anti-fascist firewall!
- Auth right: The perfect protection against rioters!
- Lib left: Radical! Fuck the homeowners association!
- Sandra: Helpers get $100!
- Lib right: Nice!
- Larisa: Lava moat!

Must have Lava Moat!
Finally, something we can all agree on.
Unity! Precision! Lava Moat!
Freedom! Justice! Cookies! Lava Moats!
Where do you stand on the political compass Oliver? Auth left, auth right, lib left or libright.
And the heat from the lava moat is *perfect* for grilling.
jesus christ novil I never thought I could hate you

But since I hate SJWs so much, I’d probably conventionally be placed into Auth right. (Still hasn’t stopped me from working on this comic with a Muslim woman from south-east Asia for over a decade.)
Wait, what about Libertarians (including and especially secular-leaning), Atheist Reactionaries (i.e. Sargon), anti-SJW who are just as annoying as SJW (i.e- comic store neckbeards), Tim Pool, and 4chan users?
Or they are already covered under Chad Centrists, or virgin centrists?
Not sure I agree with some of it since Hipsters (the one on the bike) aren’t the libertarian-types as far as I know.
Damn that one looks like L4D Bill.
The concept of a political compass is as narrow as the concept of a moral compass. Nobody’s convictions and beliefs are truly pure.
For a brass doorknob or a frog I will let you help said the young lady

Freedom, justice, cookies, lava moat? Right on!
Wait. Second panel. The stone path seems like it’s splitting people into their supposedly places in the political compass.
But, since those stones will probably be used as basic materials for Lava Moat….

what do you mean? D&D alignments are a perfect moral compass. I, for example, am Neutral Good.
Lava Moat is the new 42
…I’m a bit concerned about the carbon footprint though.
The HOA, or as I like to call them, “Lawn Nazis.”
Why is Sandra _helping_ them?!
Also, Novil’s Chad compass is right. It is possible to hold both left-wing and right-wing opinions at the same time. There’s is just so much Must Fix in all columns now.
@ Swedish Chef:
I wouldn’t be, as lava is entirely natural to this planet and is ejected by volcanoes on a regular basis. With all the carbon within it, you could even say it is organic. 😉
Good fences make good neighbors.
Lava Moat makes best neighbors.

Nah, don’t beat yourself over nothing, mate. I am fairly disgusted by SJWs too and I (still) always score fairly comfortably in libertarian left 🙂 Which is as opposite to your usual SJW as is autright, seeing that they should be comfortably lodged in the autleft part.
The spanish Inquisition also aproves of Lava Moat. Makes it easier to spring suprise witch burnings on the forces of evil.

Chaotic Good?
This suddenly seems shady
I still think this will end with the town/city council coming down on them for failing to secure the proper permits and also for failing to contact the local “Dig Safe” number so that the various utilities could come out in advance and mark where the water/sewer/gas lines are to prevent an unfortunate accident.
Whatever our disagreements, we can all get behind the inherent awesomeness of lava moats.
Lol, so eavesdropping Larisa is the cause of disaster Sandra doesn’t seem to retrospect.
Waiting to see what happens next.
Everyone loves lava moat!
So it’s a win-win situation for everyone, uhmm well maybe for most…
@ Nathan:
Depending who you ask, I’m either NG, LE, CE, or LG.
And depending on the issues and the population I have to live among, I’m either anarchist, dem socialist, fiscal conservative, or outright authoritarian.
Context makes all the difference.

TIL something new about Powree. Expanding horizons!

“Larissa….”
“Yeah?”
“………… my house is on the other side of the street.”
I prefer ~natural law. I don’t like all these weird or downright absurd ideologies that always clash with one or the other ethical conviction which is simply inborn to human beings.
Missed the PERFECT opportunity to slip Loss in the form of the characters on the compass….
And by ‘helpers’ she means ‘Fuel.’ :>
…Is this loss?
Lava MOAT, lava MOAT, lava MOAT!

That explains why, after a black man was brutally murdered by the police and people started peacefully protesting against institutionalized racism and police brutality, you keep portraying the protesters as rioters and looters.
This used to be a cute comic about a little girl and her talking raccoon. Now it’s become a political platform promoting fascism, racism, and violence.
I assume you make ad revenue from this comic based on the number of page views. I don’t think I can support you anymore. Goodbye.
@ Agarax:
Where in his comics did he call the “peaceful protesters” rioters and looters and glorify police brutality? If there’s anyone you should be upset at, it’s the rioters and looters hogging up all the media attention preventing the protesters from delivering their message properly.
Agarax wrote:
So Black Lives Matter, for example Yusra Khogali, tweeting about frying cops and killing white folks is not racism at all and not violent, but instead ‘peaceful protest’:

The problem is that people like you know all that. You just hope no one else notices.
@ Novil:
I’m curious: how do you define ‘SJW’?
@ Arent:
“Sure hope no one notices tweets that no one making them actually acts upon.”
… is a thought no one has ever consciously wrung their hands in worry over, in this or any other context outside of grade school.
It sure is interesting how little thought anyone making claims like this gives – to the fact that desperation is an unlikely motivator for people who are supposedly insiders with a vastly powerful and unstoppable conspiracy.
And by interesting, I suppose I mean amusing.
LAVA MOAT. @_@
Arent wrote:
Did you read the article you posted, or just the headline? The article a) explains the context of the tweet and b) notes that this was a tweet from the past and has no connection to BLM as a movement or what they are trying to accomplish today.
While I dislike the phrase “Allah/God give me the strength to not kill these (insert any segment of the population)”, it is clearly a message of frustration and not an indication of someone being THIS CLOSE to going on a rampage or inciting someone to violence.
Also, gonna have to make a call on whether you care about past comments and apply that equally. Personally, i dont much care about what someone said in the past, except in cases discussing actual crimes committed. If you are going to insist on this activist being “cancelled” because you dislike her tweet (which wasn’t directed at anyone), you would need to be consistent and advocate for anyone with hateful rhetoric to be de-platformed. Something tells me you aren’t going to do that though.
Strong agree with @jamesraylee.
@Agarax seems to believe or wants to believe that a reference to looting and violent protests is an attack on the peaceful protesters, even if Novil started the same comic strip by criticizing police violence.
To be fair, condemning or trying to shut down any mention or reference to the looting is a powerful political stance because the looting sucks attention away from the peaceful protesters’ social goals and makes BLM look bad. Although @Agarax’s interpretation of that strip is probably off, the outrage is pure, correct, practical, and beautiful.
Therefore, today’s realpolitik award goes to @Agarax. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
We will dearly miss you and your enlightening discussion. 💔

Novil: makes a comic denouncing violent protestors and looters (as well as police brutality)
Agarax: “this comic promotes violence”
Yay logic!
So… Yusra complains about how unfair she was treated, because of violent comment she made few months ago, but it’s perfectly fine when SJW (that BLM is just a flavour of) will stalk your twitter history YEARS backwards until they find ONE post you’ve made as a TEEN to justify their narrative how you should be canceled.
I think that’s just karma lazily smacking back at them for once.
@ Zaphod Beeblebrox:
That is the best slogan for this comic and I wish I had thought of it first.
