2 things. I know we all know this but it bears repeating so we dont accidentally repeat their framing: Gates was, intentionally or not, speaking in hyperbole. Warren’s wealth tax would definitely not take 100 billion off of him.
Second of all, regarding that comment above mine about the 3 cars: I googled most expensive cars and one is the Lamborghini Veneno, which costs $4.5 million dollars.
One billion dollars divided by 4.5 million? 222. Bill Gated could have a fucking fleet of two hundred of the most expensive Lamborghini cars in the world and he would STILL HAVE 6 BILLION DOLLARS.
As long as EVERY SINGLE PERSON working directly or indirectly for a billionaire doens’t make a living wage, has paid for healthcare, can pay for their own and their children’s education and gets paid on sick days - that billionaire should just shut up and pair their taxes. I’m so sick and tired of all that whining, no one MAKES a billion dollar, people who you most likely exploited made it for you.
On this day, 4 August 2011, Mark Duggan was shot and killed by the London Metropolitan police. When the incident first happened, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, the supposedly independent body which is tasked with investigating police misconduct, claimed that Duggan had opened fire on a police officer, who was only saved due to the bullet hitting his police radio. It later became clear that the IPCC was lying, that Duggan never fired, and that the police officer was shot by one of his colleagues. In spite of this, the IPCC was still put in charge of investigating Duggan’s death. In response to the killing, days of rioting broke out across England, in a British precursor to the #blacklivesmatter movement. This is a detailed analysis of the rebellion: https://libcom.org/library/feral-underclass-hits-streets-english-riots-other-ordealshttps://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1776990219152787/?type=3

A horror comic originally posted on My Patreon! Reposted here with somewhat easier to read layout.
The pages are pretty big, so you may have to right-click and open them in a new tab to view them properly. Alternatively, here’s a link to an Imgur Album.
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while; something a bit different from my usual cel-shaded aesthetic. I haven’t done real digital paintings like these in a long time and doing it again has got me re-learning a lot of old tricks as well as learning a few new ones. The overall “look” of this comic is heavily inspired by the classic illustrations of Stephen Gammell, who you may know better as the illustrator for the “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” trilogy. The actual subject matter, however, is largely inspired by my own nightmares throughout the years.
This was a fun comic to both write and draw (I re-wrote the final lines about three times actually). I haven’t done anything horror-themed in a long time, much less on this scale, and I certainly haven’t done any kind of digital painting like this for a long, long time. I’m more used to doing more cel-shaded cartoony stuff, but it’s good to know I can make stuff like this as well. Overall, I’m proud of this.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
