   This meme has been circling around for at least 3 years now, it gets more true everyday...

   #racism

     @rasterman Nah gets eaten by both column #1 and #3 sadly. But just because two forms of evil are likely to prevail doesnt suggest that either form is "the way to go".

     @rasterman also the assumption is that Mudasir's buddies were going to blow it up in the first place. But the truth is since he doesnt know the person personally he has no idea if that is true or not. More likely that not none of the people he calls buddies were intending to blow up anything and in fact likely denounce those who do.

     @rasterman No it has nothing to do with naivity.

     Extremism and polarization is self-reinforcing. Over time it will always destroy the rational people who refuse to give in to extremes, that is sad but true. It is however no reason to abandon rationality and fairness.

     @rasterman Who said mudasir was keeping quiet? Or that he even knows any terrorists with which to speak out on.

     All of that are assumptions that have no basis on any context in the cartoon unless you just have inherent prejudice towards people like him.

     @rasterman Ahhh good to hear you dont believe that dribble, LOL. Its more common than you might think

     @rasterman all the more reason to ensure column #2 doesnt get erradicated then.

     Just because evil is winning is hardly a good excuse to let it win.

     @rasterman The same as the other columns, whoever stands up and does it. It is free for anyone to adopt and enforce as anything in this world is.

     @rasterman I dont do whats right based on if it is popular or not with others,

     @rasterman Except that isnt the case. Picking column 2 does not have the end result of civilization. Picking columns #1 and #3 results in that. Your argument was only that it was inevitable, which even if that is true then going along with it speeds up "the end" doesnt slow it down.

     So sorry but there is no logic in what you say, just mental gymnastics

     @rasterman Wow man what a distorted view of the comic you have riddled with assumptions that dont exist.

     The middle column is not about being a centrist. It is about not being politically dogmatic in your treatment of others.

     It is about treating people how they demonstrate they deserve, rather than based on a label. It is about not living a life defined by the dogma of your place on a political spectrum.

     @rasterman Notice the left says "left wing" the right says "right win"... the middle doesnt say "centrist" though... should be your first clue.

     @rasterman you are even dogmatic about your need for dogma, what a sight!

     @rasterman If its half the train wreck your comments have been on this one it would at least be worth a good laugh.

     @rasterman sure buddy, whatever you say
