#comic #cartoon #journalism #academia #ethics #socialmedia

In America we make it EASY TO DO THE WRONG THING, HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING EASY TO ORDER ONLINE FROM AN OLIGARCH-OWNED, MONOPOLISTIC, UNION-BUSTING CORPORATION CLICK! DING! HARDER TO SHOP LOCALLY AND SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY Ye Olde Independent Shoppe EASY FOR COLLEGES TO CAVE TO DEMANDS OF DICTATORS PLEASE TAKE OUR MONEY AND BASIC VALUES! HARDER FOR SCHOOLS TO STAND UP FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A UNIVERSITY IF WE AREN'T FREE TO FOLLOW KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE WHERE THEY LEAD? EASY FOR MEDIA OUTLETS TO PROFIT OFF CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND INFLAMMATORY FALSE NARRATIVES UP NEXT: IS YOUR NEIGHBOR A DEMOCRAT TERRORIST TRYING TO KILL YOU? HARDER TO SUSTAIN SERIOUS JOURNALISM THAT SHEDS LIGHT ON DIFFICULT TRUTHS AND NOW A SPECIAL REPORT ON CORRUPTION. SORRY, WE'RE REPLACING YOU WITH AI. EASY TO STAY ON SOCIAL NETWORKS RUN ВY ANTIDEMOCRATIC ACTIVISTS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE ON HERE, IT MUST BE OKAY! HARDER TO SWITCH TO AN INDEPENDENT ALTERNATIVE* HMM... A SMALLER AUDIENCE, BUT LESS DISINFO AND NOT AS HITLERY! *BUT NOT ACTUALLY THAT HARD!

Humbly, it may perhaps be apt to replace "even when" with "especially when" in this meme.👇👇

A meme of Snoopy with the message: "Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. It's called integrity." Integrity - this seems to be critically needed in the "Unravelling" States of America.
