How is it that all the conservative cartoonists seem to have the absolute worst takes on every single topic? You’d think even a gimme like “son of the Queen wants to spend less time dealing with lovely journos” which doesn’t need any commentary beyond “cool” would be something they could manage, but no

I Am Just a Box posted:The cartoonists don't know or care that they're winning any Gay Abortions, but we're having this conversation because there are people browsing D&D who don't read political cartoon threads and would like to not see an incendiary thread title easily interpreted to use their sexual orientation as a pejorative if you haven't memorized an old in-joke cartoon, which they haven't, because they don't read political cartoon threads. Bors has read the thread at some point and I’m sure at least a few other cartoonists are aware of us. There’s a non-zero chance cartoonists actually hear about it. The name should definitely have a negative connotation even if it isn’t Gay Abortion

Katt posted:There's a website where you can simulate dropping a nuke. And I used it to drop the biggest nuke ever made on New York and I was kind of disappointed with the results. It only killed like 5 million people and most of the city turned out alright. Like all wars, you don’t need to kill everyone to complete gently caress them up. A handful of nukes targeting every major city in the US would obliterate our economy and ability to function. Everything from food to medicine distribution would fall apart. Our collective knowledge would disappear overnight. If we get hit and retaliate in turn, two countries will be reduced to rubble in one day, and the global economy would also tank. If enough nukes are launched, the climate will get turbofucked, countless other countries will be affected, and hundreds of millions if not billions of people will die as a consequence over the next few years

Jerusalem posted:The argument against NOT destroying the environment we all need to EXIST being,"But it'll cost a lot of money!" is absolutely insane to me. Most of the people in power (rightly) believe that any repercussions of climate change that happen in their lifetime won’t be significant enough to actually interfere with their way of life, so the only thing that really matters to them is having number go up. I say rightly because their extreme wealth more or less completely insulates them from any negative consequences short of total worldwide governmental collapse. No matter how bad things get anywhere, they can always move to somewhere better. And they’ll be dead before anything gets really bad. They’re not going to do anything to help future generations, lmao

Republicans have already blown their load so hard by spending the last couple decades railing against democrats as godless socialists who want to give you free stuff that now that we have an actual socialist likely to take the Dem nominee, they need to amp up their complaints but can’t take it any further without it falling flat. “That’s right, Bernie is going to make *EVERYTHING* free for *EVERYONE*, and you know who’s gonna pay for it all? *YOU*, the *TAXPAYERS*, who will also get everything for free I guess and his tax plan is only really going to raise taxes on the wealthy so most of you are just gonna get free stuff without paying any more and that’s bad I swear...”

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:How does anyone not be a taxpayer but follow a law abiding lifestyle? You would have to live on someone else's land somewhere in a state with no sales tax, not own a cell phone, never drive anywhere, never do any hunting and fishing that might require a permit, emerging only to sell your wood carvings for cash at the local Farmer's Market, buy salt and nails, and vote for Godless Democrats. I feel like even that very specific situation involves some sort of tax somehow. That talking point ignores everything except the income tax. It’s true that close to half of us all pay little or nothing in income tax, but that’s because we also get paid poverty wages. This is, of course, the fault of democrats for preventing the invisible hand from making everything perfect and great

I remember back when the total reported Corona cases was in the low thousands. Back then I assumed that it was just another bit of disease fearmongering that we’ve seen so many times already. By the time it was clear that it was an actual threat, we were still a few weeks out from any other government taking it seriously. And the US took even longer than that to respond at all. It feels naive to blame it on China when we already knew the details at 1000 cases and didn’t give a gently caress about it

Zulily Zoetrope posted:It's almost as if "China hosed up their handling of the early stages" and "China is personally responsible for the global death toll" are two different statements, and it's super weird to conflate someone saying the former with someone saying the latter when you are also of the belief that most every world government hosed up their handling of the early stages. A lot of people are absolutely conflating the two, or at least saying the first part to imply the second part, whether they sincerely believe it or not. Like Fox News, for example. What's the point of talking about how China handled the early stages otherwise if not to say that China's actions are what brought us to our current situation?

QuoProQuid posted:this will be the last i say on this, but, no. this conversation was born out of endlessmonotony overreacting to an innocuous post from Kazan, who was bemoaning how racist attacks on China have crowded out legitimate criticisms of China's poor response to the pandemic. Kazan was admittedly responding to a Tinsley comic but the pandemic conversation that is happening in this thread has moved far beyond that and has become much more about posters posting weird defenses of the Chinese government and implying that others are racists or conspiracy theorists for finding fault in initial response efforts. My issue was more with Fojar who seems bent on placing the blame entirely on China

And apparently he owes a lot in unpaid taxes, so whatever sum he gets for the site is unlikely to be enjoyed by him. Dude earned a tidy sum each month for literally nothing and all he had to do to keep it going was not be a little poo poo. Incredible that that was too high of a bar

Alhazred posted:Basically goons made up this elaborate theory that Tinsley finally went too far and that the valiant left wing Fishman took over to subvert the strip. As far as I know there have been no statement as to why Tinsley quit. No one here actually thinks Fishman is a secret lefty. It’s just that the way he talks about certain subject shows that he’s well-versed enough in lefty rhetoric in a way that none of the other conservative cartoonists are. You get the impression that Lester and Branco live in tiny media bubbles and have never actually spoken to a leftist in their entire lives, whereas Fishman may have actually put in his 80 hours of research. This doesn’t mean Fishman is good or secretly lefty or anything, just that at best he’s a mercenary who cares more for a paycheck than about human rights, and that at worst he’s someone who has actually listened to and thought about leftist arguments, but decided that his own monstrous views are better

Fister Roboto posted:That's an easy contradiction to deal with though: "I'm one of the good ones". They’re one of the more obnoxious types to deal with, too. People who are so convinced in their righteousness that they’ll happily silence and trample over the people they swear they’re helping. Like white people so bent on sniffing out anti-blackness that they end up making their community toxic for actual black people The wokepocalypse image kicks rear end, though. Like, gently caress, in this terrible reality, people have freedom, black lives matter, gender isn’t seen as a static binary, hrt is easily available, people consider it their civic duty to fight hatred, and also there are hot babes everywhere? And all it cost was giving up an outdated image of a golden American past that never even existed in the first place? Sign me the gently caress up.
