OldMemes posted:I wonder how all the difference cartoonists are going to react to the new Bundy situation? I'm thinking Asay would be loving it if he hadn't retired, with how much he fetishised the American Revolution in his work. Asay would definitely do a comic lamenting how no one showed up to the second American Revolution (It Used To Be brave Americans in tri-corner hats standing up to redcoats. Now It's 10 brave Americans in a shack standing up to Obama's troops while the rest of the country looks bored and disinterested) but all the other conservative cartoonists probably can't denounce Bundy's kids fast enough.

Wanamingo posted:Manspreading is also not a new problem. It helps that when A.D Condo wrote that for The Outbursts of Everett True in 1906 people didn't call it "Manspreading" they just called it being a jackass on the bus (Or whatever old-timey words for "jackass" that one would use in 1906). It's just that now everyone on the internet has their own personal hugbox so when someone complains that I'm needlessly taking up space in public transportation I can count on a legion of followers to tell me I'm just keepin' it real

Somfin posted:"Manspreading" is usually used as a way of telling people (men) that they are being jackasses, though? Not every new term is used defensively. I've heard it used both defensively by jerks and offensively by good people so if some meme-ologist tells me who used it first I'll listen to them. Then again this would be the second time I've started a derail over modern terminology so let me get ahead of it and say this probably isn't worth anyone's time

Rorus Raz posted:Hasn't the GOP been collapsing for the past like six years according to Animal Nuz? To be fair it really has been collapsing in on itself since around late 2006. The thing I disagree with Animal Nuz about is how much longer it will take to completely lose relevance, and I say we've got at least another 20 years of solid congressional majority.

Jonas Albrecht posted:What's CFR? Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank that dedicates itself to finding the best way for America to make diplomatic ties with other countries. Most of their advice gets resoundingly ignored by people who are in a place to apply it, which is a shame because they're usually right about everything. Naturally certain cranks believe the organization is the spearhead of a globalist plot to turn us all into communists.

I mean yeah it's always good to think about why we use this word or that word to insult somebody for whatever reason, but then again Moddington posted:What a scraggly, unkempt hill to die on. It's kind of dumb to use "Neckbeard" as a jumping off point when the artist also acknowledges how loving disgusting it is to use autism as an insult. Basically there are worse things to be called than neckbeard that hurt a lot more people emotionally.

loquacius posted:Anytime someone in D&D tries to tackle the subject of "there are some individual ideas or groups under the vast broad umbrella of 'the Left' that are perhaps not constructive or healthy in every context" it never goes well It helps that for every time someone on the left does something bad, someone on the right already did it ten times and never got a camera put on them Basically the problem is that being the better person is hard and if being an angry screeching hate mob works so well for Fox News there's a strong temptation to try the same tactics. If there's a solution to this problem, I really would like to hear it

psychofishhead posted:Question. Is Stefan molyneux, the cultish anarcho-capitalist thats so far down the rabbit hole that he's one blow to the head away from telling people to kill their parents, seriously backing an insane authoritarian like Trump? Like I know the whole no government thing is a smokescreen and a means to the end of being free to gently caress over minorities but to just drop the pretense like that seems a bit much. Like, to anyone paying attention, all your talk about conflict resolution whatevers rings hollow when you're behind the guy that wants to expand libel laws to silence critics. To be fair the core tenet of his vision for a perfect society can best be described as "Orewellian nightmare" only there's a CEO in charge instead of a monarch or president. He probably figures a Trump presidency would check a lot of really important boxes

I dont know posted:Not quite Bok, Hastert was serially raping children that were entrusted into his care. Technically speaking he went to jail for tax reasons, namely the shady business of giving millions in hush money to his victims' families without anyone asking where the money came from. Which is not even close to technically the same as this week's bullshit talking point but Democrats bad Republicans good Seriously what the gently caress? That's a new low for Bok and I did everything in my power to play devil's advocate here EDIT: Kwyndig posted:It's actually common for pedos in prison to lie about their sentences, mostly because guards don't give a poo poo what happens to them, and even other criminals hate them. But that just raises more questions. Like "Why even have Hastert in this cartoon?"
