Does Garrison have fans, or is his audience mostly people like us who laugh at him? Even on the right, I feel like 4chan can’t take him seriously.

DreamingofRoses posted:I would like to point out that ‘trans’ was not originally a stand alone word, it’s a prefix and is still specifically a prefix in a scientific context (chemistry naming for one) hence why the original description was trans{noun} and not Trans {Noun}. Obviously, language changes and we should refer to people how they prefer to be referred to, but it’s not just a TERF thing. I will point out, as well, that there have been trans people...preferring...the separated version for a long time, as well, within the community, so, yes, it's definitely not just a TERF thing. I'm one of them, as I've been arguing for 'trans woman/man' for over 20 years at this point, long before the term TERF ever existed. For the exact reasons that it's now generally being argued for by others, rather than the compounded versions thereof. I don't say this attempting to claim any authority or clout or, uh, whatever, just offering a personal anecdote for the discussion.

Well I mean, he was invited to a White House social media summit (before he was removed from the list after Jewish groups called out his antisemitism). That means he probably carries some bit of clout, even if he wasn't well known before he'd definitely get fans when that happened. I also think Trump retweeted one of his cartoons, or maybe that was Branco, or both.

RoboRodent posted:GMO is just about my least favourite phrase, never fails to get my hackles up. I hate it. And for the record I think that GMO crops have been a net win for everybody (the main downsides being the nonsense involving controlling seeds via patents, which has nothing to do with the science). But it isn't accurate to present GMO crops, in general, as being comparable to past selective breeding. There is no programme of selected breeding that would get you Bt corn (I guess outside of science fiction scenarios where you somehow bred from some remote common ancestor to re-created corn or whatever).

Garrison definitely has fans, i had one in my art class last year and my reading class before that. He brought a garrison comic when told to bring in comics that are making a statement or something i cant remember. And then i get him a year later in the art class and im like, "okay maybe hell just draw neutral art like the rest of us". a teacher told us to use various techniques for a art piece and for us to try and convey meaning. Dude drew trump as a super Saiyan, I poo poo you not, talking about how hes gonna clean up the deep state and stuff. teacher was like, " uh huh, thats great, the shading on the curtains behind him is nice"

All you did was erase half of a comic to make a slightly edgier version of the point it was already making, and you didn't even have the decency to put it in TIMG tags. The only reason I didn't probe it is because 6 hours would be overkill.

How the gently caress do you go from fretting about what Trump did the week prior, to then bemoaning when people try to punish him for it? Even the sour grapes fox is like jesus dude those are two very contradictory thoughts.

Wasn't sure what Tinsley was talking about. It seems it's about this:quote:Department of Homeland Security officials are planning to scrap a Trump-era version of the civics test administered to would-be US citizens that was criticized as being harder and more complex than its predecessor, according to officials and government documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.

Rall: To End Virtual Instruction, End Virtual Funding Ted Rall posted:Americans have been neglecting public education for many decades. Buildings are old and have outdated ventilation systems. Classrooms are overcrowded. Teachers are under compensated. Now everyone’s talking about how important it is for kids to get back to school following or during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, but they still don’t want to fix those issues. Then they blame the teachers unions for refusing to let their members risk their lives because the community is too cheap to make school safe.

Is the coyote supposed to be a child too? If he's an adult why is he giving a child flowers and chocolate on Valentine's Day? I never really understood this. With Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes is basically an ageless cartoon character because he's Calvin's imaginary friend and not a real person, but Winslow here is definitively a real person with a family, job, etc. You can't abstract it that way. Why do they even hang out in the first place?

Yes? BLM has been combatting systemic racism and considering it's a loosely organized movement it's been mostly non-violent. Certainly less violent than the groups that are against then.

SubG posted:One of the reasons why I think GMO is a meaningless term is because it encompasses both the sort of thing you're talking about--crops that are created by hybridising existing plants to produce desired traits, like glyphosate-resistant crops--and genetic engineering to introduce non-plant genes and produce transgenic crops--like Bt corn, which incorporates genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis or drought-resistant corn produced by introducing B. subtilis genes. Roundup Ready crops weren't created through hybridization and traditional breeding techniques. The DNA sequence for the modified enzyme they use that's not inhibited by glyphosate was originally isolated from Agrobacterium growing in a herbicide production facility, which was then modified for plant expression. You can make an argument that it's "more natural" than plants that make bacterial toxins as pesticides, because it's a modified version of an enzyme that's already present in the plant cells, but Roundup Ready couldn't exist without the same production techniques.

According to them, every fire and broken window in recorded history was done by BLM and/or Antifa. If you show them video of cops being the ones to start the poo poo or lifelong Republican voters to have lit the match, they were undercover BLM/Antifa agents trying to frame Republicans or do a false flag.

Alhazred posted:Yes? BLM has been combatting systemic racism and considering it's a loosely organized movement it's been mostly non-violent. Certainly less violent than the groups that are against then. "Mostly non-violent" is a dogwhistle for old conservative white people. In their version of reality, BLM was rampaging through the streets, burning down buildings left and right, leveling entire city blocks, and killing and raping indiscriminately as they went. Our Brave Boys in Blue were helpless to stop the hordes, as the Democrat coward mayors told them to stand down. So when reporters (accurately) described protests as "mostly non-violent", it filled them with righteous indignation and it was proof that the lamestream media was in cahoots with the racebaiting commies.
