    It should be noted that the comic is very purposefully using a woman of color for a reason. To say you are not political to someone whose entire existence is ruled by politics is to lay bare that you are privileged enough to be apolitical.

        You’re assuming we have any actual power,

        I did not specify much in my comment. Can you share who the “we” is in your sentence here?

          I’d guess ‘general populace’ and while I agree to some extent, I don’t think people have no power at all, especially privileged ones

        Did you actually read what they wrote, or were you just looking for an excuse to jump down somebody’s throat?

          Oh my god, I just realized that you weren’t replying to me, my apologies. While I want to blame the cramped style of the instance I use, I clearly didn’t look close enough myself to see you had replied to the other user.

          I’ll go ahead and edit my mistake, sorry again!
