DarklyDreaming posted:Quick question what's Ben Garrison's backup plan if this doesn't work? Trump will always be approximately two weeks from jailing everyone BenG hates and declaring himself president for life. Every failure is just a feint to distract from the real coup, which will happen any day now.

BonHair posted:Also, in that mindset, wouldn't the right share the same ideology as well? Anyone to the left of, say, Ronald Reagan is exactly the same (see Joe Biden, rabid communist), whereas the right is a rich tapestry of people who view white supremacy as a tool to advance capitalism, ones who see capitalism as a tool to advance white supremacy, and everything in between!

I think that's actually the most heartening thing. We like to get in beefs about leftist infighting, but it largely amounts to just posting angrily at one another. White supremacists have absolutely zero sense of solidarity; no one will be there to pick up Dorsey if he ever loses his twitter fortune, and a cop was beaten to death by people wearing Blue Lives Matter merch for the crime of telling them they were not allowed to do terrorism.

Yes but sometimes the wrong mob is in charge. Most people I interact with agree with me; it logically follows that most people I don't interact with also do, so whenever someone says their mob is bigger than mine, they're corrupt lying communazis.

Especially when they simultaneously insist that Donald Trump was the democratically elected president and therefore should not be opposed, and that he actually also won the popular vote in 2020 and should remain president regardless of the rules and systems in place. It's almost as if getting the desired result overrides whatever principles he claims to hold!

I know it's never the worst thing in his comics, but I love how he consistently draws Biden as a balding old wimp while Trump has golden flowing locks. It's petty and pathetic in the best possible way, unlike the rest of his work, which is petty and pathetic in all the bad ways.

NRVNQSR posted:Not quite; it's about how you shouldn't give otherwise awful people credit for minor virtues or successes. It's the modern "Mussolini did a lot of bad things but at least he made the trains run on time". It should also be noted, like most quotes that parallel that one, that Mussolini did not make the trains run on time. You shouldn't hand it to him even if he did, but the quote also holds the more insidious lie that fascists make capable statesmen.

Help Im Alive posted:What's happening in prickly city Stantis has spent the last four years complaining that the left and right are equally bad, and can only solve their dispute by meeting in the middle (i.e. doing everything republicans want, but with  ). Now that there has been a insurrection attempting to overthrow the elected democrat president and make last year's fascist the monarch of the US, he finally has vindication that indeed both sides are equally bad.There is no bias in this view, because as you can see, the words are in the mouth of a non-white girl, so it must be the unvarnished truth. The marxist cat dog is not missing her point because it is stupid as hell, he is missing it because he has no actual beliefs of his own and can only parrot the last thing he heard.

toanoradian posted:Then isn't all these Reddit stuff making people who wouldn't originally buy stocks to participate in this lovely system? Thus possibly plunging people (but not Redditors?) into financial problems? Or is that just me being really uncharitable with Reddit? If you buy a stock, you have the stock. You can sell it later, but if it has gone down in value, you're going to wind up with less money than you started. There is no way for you to lose more than your initial investment, however. That's a special feature of shorting being dumb bullshit. So the only way to destroy your finances by doing this is by violating the cardinal rule of gambling: Don't bet anything you can't afford to lose.

Randalor posted:Isn't this the opposite of what's actually going on though? As in, the only ones calling for Unity and harping about the economy are the Republicans? That's not different; Republicans have always been really into unity and cooperation and focusing on the economy when they're not the ones in charge. It does look like things might actually go a different way this time. Biden has torched every executive order and Trump appointment that could be overturned without a vote, there are plans in motion to get rid of obstructionist tools and big chunks of voter suppression, and all the loudmouthed republicans crying about this are either the ones who also either inspired a gaggle of chuds to try to murder congress, or are Mitch McConnell, and both groups are rightfully being told to go gently caress themselves. Who's to say how long it lasts, but the first week of the Biden administration has been a lot better than what you'd expect.

Pants Donkey posted:I like that Ishida can’t help but draw every adult woman with the same generic hourglass body type while decrying culture for sexualizing women. Well yeah, he's a TERF. The whole beautry of it is that you get to be as bigoted as you want, you don't have to actually respect women as people, and you can still call yourself a feminist because all the other bigots out there will have your back. I'm assuming this is some dig at the media for not decrying BLM protests as wanton destruction, but I can't read it in any other way than admitting that the chuds are the only actual domestic terrorists. What did the rioters want that you didn't, Stantis?

Red states seceding would be terrible for everyone who lives there and doesn't suck, but I still don't get how it wouldn't just result in the rest of the US becoming richer and having fewer ghouls in government.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I'm not sure where you were in the 2000's but Rall wasn't the only one saying Bush was dumb. How many people said "having Bush as president is like being in the same room as a developmentally challenged person; an absolutely miserable experience for everyone involved?" I always thought it was pretty obvious that Rall was projecting like mad in the former cartoon: "these people must hate my mother as much as I hate any disabled person with whom I have to interact. That's hosed up, how dare they think of my mother that way."

I've been following that one, and he's covered a lot of Trump stuff, with fewer and fewer jokes and more barely contained fury, which I thought was a very reasonable approach. The episode on the BLM riots was just him covering the history of the movement, how racist and rotten the police are, and yielding the floor to that one Kimberly Brooks clip.
