I was being absurd because who the gently caress cares about the hot pockets twitter account, however I think that Brands™ and people who run social media accounts should probably do some research into the things they are helping promote.

Giving stonetoss any exposure is bad. See a few of these "this looks innocent out of greater context" cartoons and you are normalized to them and might even like them, then you can be exposed over time to the more overt poo poo he does and not realize it.

Serious question does Stonetoss get a lot of traction from non-terminally online people? I know he's doing all this subliminal dogwhistle crap but does he reach people that aren't already agreeing with him?

Yes because his art is cute and all the edits that float around aren't known as being edits, which is why I never share or condone a Stonetoss edit, even if its funny

You quoted my post but maybe you should read it again. Giving him ANY traction outside of terminally online people that already agree with him, like through a food's innocuous twitter account, is bad. It's the first step to reaching people that don't.

edit: I realize I didn't answer your question. He doesn't have much traction, no, but this is a step in that direction.

Blood and Souls and all that

So, aborted fetuses are guaranteed to go to Heaven? And they continue to grow at least until they're a few years old (there could be adults who were aborted as fetuses in heaven, we see only a small population)?

This sounds like a great deal for those fetuses. Current rates of religious retention show they'd have a pretty high chance of drifting away from Christianity over their life (which is a bad thing IFF heaven is real as in this cartoon) and therefore miss out on Heaven. And since these are fully articulate children, they're clearly getting full and healthy developments and probably childhoods up there.

Clearly the only moral thing to do is abort more fetuses

At least in Catholic doctrine, unbaptized children go to the Medium Place Purgatory, so it's arguable within that context that abortion is wrong. But this poo poo really shows that people like this don't give any thought about their religion any deeper than "yay Jesus".

It's a stretch to take what works for Trump and say it's going to work for who the Democrats choose as their 2020 candidate.

Also it's an interesting candidate choice Rall has picked given there is now a very finite list of plausible options.

Nah, it's not too late, it'd just be a massive effort, requiring full action from states and politicians to make it happen, and if they did, it would actually pretty much solve at least part of the climate crisis, but see the first part of this sentence and realize that's why it won't happen.

I think the assumption is basically that you would have to build liberty ship style nuclear reactors.
Then when we are done we could probably use those capabilities to build a bunch of these. :science:

Anytime a right wing columnist may appear like they're actually admitting to something like that, you find out the point of the cartoon wasnt that "global warming is real" but rather "those dumb liberals won't even fix their supposed problems!" So I'm not giving Allie this one.

As the evidence is getting harder to deny and impacting peoples' lives, more and more conservatives are admitting it's real.

Ten, twenty years from now the official platform of the Republican Party will be that global warming is China's fault and we should be focused on alleviating the effects of global warming in America only, no handouts to other countries, also we just can't afford to take in all those brown-skinned climate refugees
