Notable Dom X posted:That's some crazy old man nonsense from Horsey. Are we youngsters working two jobs and drowning in student loan debt or sitting on our fat butts literally eating fried fat like a bunch of losers? It's also crazy nonsense from someone whose career and accomplishments consist of drawing cartoons.

Jedit posted:Where the hell do you work that a) Playboy can be found in desk drawers and b) you can read it? They used to just leave their adult movies on top of the DVD players in the breakrooms of the factory I worked at. When I was a mechanic it was considered 'subtle' when people left the magazines on the work bench instead of pinning them open on the tool wall. It only got worse when I became a computer janitor. Porn in the workplace has been a near constant in my various jobs, but I've always worked jobs with almost completely male workforces.

Xander77 posted:Back when I was in the army, a fellow told about the brilliant new strategy his rabbis devised for dealing with suicide bombers - shortly after one explodes, a specially appointed person will rush in with a bit of bacon wrapped in a plastic bag and dump it on the largest remaining piece of terrorist to stop them from getting into heaven. He was absolutely convinced that the rabid rabbis knew Muslim religion better than Muslims. The best part of these plans is always the fundamental acceptance, as fact, that what the terrorist is doing WILL get them into heaven unless there is intervention. The Quran is right, what the Muslim extremist is doing is right, and they will get into heaven -- unless we slather them in pork before the soul has a chance to escape the body. Some people suggest it purely as a demotivator for the enemy troops but way too often people seem like they actually believe the metaphysics behind it.

Samurai Sanders posted:I wish people who write/think those things would step a LITTLE out of their comfort zone and actually talk to a Muslim even once. The worst part is that some, if not most, of them already have. They just didn't notice because it was an actual human being and not this dumb, politoon, stereotype they've built up in their heads.

StarMagician posted:Is it a law specifically aimed at that improbable event, or is it a general law against zero-tolerance policies in schools that is being framed exceptionally poorly? Looking it up, it's against zero tolerance policies -- but I kind of wish it was the former instead, because that's funnier and any reason to mock Sally Kern is appreciated. Some local news station posted:Under Kern's bill, students couldn't be punished for possessing small toy weapons or using writing utensils, fingers or their hands to simulate a weapon. Students also couldn't be punished for drawing pictures of weapons or wearing clothes that "support or advance Second Amendment rights or organizations." Source

seiferguy posted:Wow that kid is a straight copy paste from an image that's been on the internet for ages: So the difference between Dees and a real political cartoonist is that Dees just doesn't slap a rotoscope or cartoon filter over the stuff he googles. Well, that and Dees probably has an actual mental illness instead of just being a giant shitbird by choice.

Action-Man posted:Do people really still believe in the gateway drug theory? I think weed is, in some cases a gateway drug. But only because of the messaging against it. People make this huge deal about how bad and awful it is, then you try it and it's completely loving harmless, so you figure they were probably lying about all the rest of it too and give one of them a try. I tried some stuff after pot that I probably wouldn't have if I had been able to actually trust what people had been telling me about drugs. When people lump all the drugs together, trying the most common and harmless one can lead you believe the rest might not be bad either -- and if you're lucky you fall in with some friends who actually know about drugs, and who you can trust, before you actually get into horrible poo poo like meth.

Samurai Sanders posted:For some reason portraying a president as deliberately trying to destroy jobs (rather than having some other priority that conflicts with jobs and thus letting them be destroyed) seems more idiotic than almost anything else here. It also makes more sense when you look at it through their messed up narrative: The democrats only get into power because of people on benefits being dependent on the government, so, the government is destroying jobs to force people to become democrat voters.

Bicyclops posted:gently caress, whoever drew these is doing some decent art, and accepting the challenge of making the story almost entirely without words is something most graphic novel artists wouldn't even attempt. They're taking an interesting art project and using it as intimidating, racist propaganda. But it's not an empty threat. I don't know how the comic ends but if my country was literally putting migrants into internment camps, I'd want migrants to know that was their fate too. I wouldn't want people to end up in those things. Like -- the horrible way australia treats immigrants needs to stop, and until it does, the people need to be warned of what they're heading into. It would be worse, I think, to let them think there is any hope to be found on that island when all that awaits them is prison camps and hatred.

MisterBadIdea posted:This is anti-immigrant propaganda? It seems to me like anti-Australian propaganda. It's like the Australian government unintentionally (?) wrote a comic decrying themselves. That poor loving guy. That's sorta how I hope the artist saw it too. In my mind he isn't using his talents for evil: he took the job to let people know that Australia wasn't worth coming to - that the hardships of home are better than what awaits you if you make it to the shore: they'll arrest you, if you're lucky, or take your boat back out to sea and leave you to die. Because I can't see how you're supposed to hate the character this story is about unless we start seeing stink lines or something trying to vilify him in the next few pages.

LorrdErnie posted:Hypocrisy? It's not like we don't have a concentration camp for foreign nationals. At least we pretend the people at Guantanamo are terrorists I guess. If only it was just Guantanamo. ICE is every bit as bad, through the US prison system, for migrants as the Australian camps. Hell, ICE can even do it to green card holders and not just people trying to enter through improper means.

Wanamingo posted:God help me for defending that poo poo, but he's saying that if American flag shirts are banned for one Mexican holiday then next thing you know they'll be banned for all Latin American holidays. It should be banned every day as long as the purpose of you and your buddies all showing up wearing it at the same time is to antagonize people. If a bunch of latino students showed up in force wearing Mexican flag t-shirts on the fourth of July the exact same people throwing a tantrum over this ruling would be wailing and gnashing their teeth about gangs and thuggery.

Monkey Fracas posted:Also it is not the joke he intended to make but I like how he accidentally points out that gay marriage won't magically make everyone gay. I dunno, I think it may actually be the joke he meant to make. Nobody is really stupid enough to think 'since gays can't have children this whole thing will be gone in a generation!' even if it's clear that he does mean to make the couple the butt of the joke somehow. Maybe it's some sort of fear-mongering about gay adoption if you really want to make it a stretch. But I honestly think some of the artists in this thread really just play to a base because there's money in it - I think the vast majority of people who still buy the paper are of a certain demographic, and that they swing conservative, so they need to really lean into the right side of things to keep selling their cartoons. Political cartooning is a dying career and any misstep they make could lead to the tidal wave of complaints that sees the paper toss them rather than risk losing a couple dozen more subs. I doubt most of them are, in real life, the complete shitheads they come across as. Except for Ted Rall. gently caress Rall.
