Y'know, as much as people dislike the post-apoc cartoons, this one is a perfect representation of the problems with not only the capitalist system, but with the issues with overcoming it. There's a perfectly obvious solution (kill and possibly eat Kromm before dividing his wealth amongst the destitute) but people are too busy trying to curry favor with him rather than just overthrowing him.

I'm fine with last Sunday being the last Sinfest Sunday. He's gone full-on right wing, incel apologist, born again "Christian", swerf/terf, and I think the only things he's missing on the extremist bingo card was "outright neo-nazi" and "holocaust denier".

Missing-ish? He's done a bunch of anti-semitic tropes and poo poo; an Einstein caricature devil using "fractional reserve banking" to "subjugate the masses"; complaining about "globalists", the Bilderberg Group, reptilians and the Rothschilds; the whole blood libel poo poo talking about using the blood of children to make eternal youth pills....

Also the whole pandering to 4chan's /pol/ with extremely old memes (loving Pedobear, really?) and also, just in the last week or two, pandering to Reddit's long-gone "frenworld" nazi hideout a what with the pink handmaid going "FREN FREN FREN" and then Ishida adding cut-and-pasted deformed pepe variants used in Frenworld to the ones he'd already drawn, in the middle of a Sunday strip that he was ostensibly trying to evoke pathos with.

If he isn't already down the nazi rabbit hole, he's definitely trying to look up what the Extremely Online nazis are into so he can go "How do you do, fellow young nazis?"

That's what I mean when I say he's not "outright" a neo-nazi yet. He's blowing the dogwhistles as hard as he can, but he hasn't out-and-out hidden (or blatantly shown) swastikas and having the "protagonists" sieg heiling like that one comic (was it Red Panels?). The mask may have all but fallen off, but it's still hanging on by a thread.

While it's lovely art, the actual countries are sorta-kinda the right shape, except that Ukraine is missing some territory occupied by Russia at the moment, and Russia either has a weird "object on a sphere" distortion going on, or they've had a large chunk taken out of them by... I unno, China?

Oh geez, I didn't even realize that he had Russia and the Russia-occupied part of Ukraine as two separate countries. It doesn't help that he has the Azov Sea a lovely shade of brown instead of, y'know, blue. Then again, he also has the ocean as green with something written on it, so I should have realized.

Kikas posted:

I think it's "the propaganda narative of cop racism doesn't fit this particular case because the cops who killed the black teen were also black" if you want to use Branco-specific mindset.

The problem is, there still is racism in the case, as 4 black officers involved in the killing were fired, and the one white was let off with a warning.

Thats what was throwing me off on this comic, that the only people who bring up race in the matter are either A)right-wing shits trying to deflect from the fact that 5 cops killed a guy who only fought back once they started beating him, or B) People who point out that the white officer was given a slap on the wrist while the black officers were arrested for murder. If it were an elephant (and anyone other than Branco) I would say it was AGC about trying to make an issue of police brutality into an issue of race, but...

gently caress it, it's a Branco, my only regret is that it's too early in the morning to start drinking and that I have to work so I can't drink until after work to try to kill braincells that were wasted trying to figure this cartoon out.

It was more of a situation where it wasn't necessarily the worst (it may not even be in the top 5 that we've seen this year from Stiglich) but just that... "perfect" combination of dogwhistles and outdated references where your only initial reaction is to want to tell the author to gently caress off.

Oh, no, I just meant in general, I'm tired of these lazy "Why persecute Trump for crime when crime exists?" cartoons. The picture itself (because let's be honest, other than being drawn, is stretching the definition of cartoon) is just... nothing. There is nothing to it. It's just a remarkably lazy cartoon, where any effort more than just sighing and telling the artist "gently caress you" is more than what he spent on the cartoon. Like, if you told me the text was lifted directly from the talking points, I would believe you 100%.

THE WAR WHORES-TINA TOON
Cartoon published 03/22/2023

Look Who Wants Endless War
There are a lot of politicians in both parties who continue to loudly bang on their war drums. It’s almost as if they insist on WWIII with Russia—including nuclear war. This is insanity. The US should have no vested interest in Ukraine, but war mongers such as Mitch McConnell say Ukraine is ‘the number one priority.’ (Not the American people).

The warmongers or ‘war whores’ as we depict them in our cartoon do the bidding of their globalist masters, who want regime change in Russia. Putin is not playing by their slave dollar rules and therefore he must go.

Lindsey Graham is an egregious example of a war whore. A frequent guest on the Sean Hannity Show, Lindsey always talks tough when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Fine, Lindsey. Go over to your favorite country and fight on the front lines for your boss in ‘Keeeeev.’ Oh, but you won’t do that. You’d prefer to send young American lives over there to be obliterated while you commend them for their ‘patriotism.’

Sean Hannity, Graham’s press secretary, is a mega-millionaire who also talks tough, but won’t fight in Ukraine. He pretends to be an average Joe who shops at Walmart. Meanwhile, he lives in the lap of luxury. His fellow war whore, Mark Levin, whom Sean for some reason calls ’the great one’ is also a great banger of war drums and gets upset on his radio show because his war narrative is falling apart. Yes, ‘great one,’ Zelensky has outlawed opposition parties, the Russian Orthodox Church, and a free press as he snatches up young men off the street and feeds them into the breech of his bloody war cannon. Why are you supporting a war that does not benefit Americans whatsoever? What’s so great about you? Oh, I forgot. You’re also a mega-millionaire just like Sean. No need to be humble. Great for you!

The war whores are now invoking the holy name of Ronald Reagan for their deadly cause. They claim he would be all for ramping up the war in Ukraine. It’s the same nonsense they always drum up. We must show force to gain respect. We must show that we are not weak by escalating war. We must save face and fight to protect and advance democracy. That’s ludicrous because we no longer have democracy in America. (Besides, we’re supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy).

The warmongers who inhabit the Deep State Uni-Party Swamp cannot be voted out. They’ve rigged the elections. How else could a universally despised old man with dementia and who failed to campaign end up winning with more votes than Obama received? Of course it was rigged and therefore when the warmongers say they are protecting democracy, we know they are lying. They are protecting their own power and globalist hegemony.



In 1983, a terrorist bombed and killed 241 U.S. Marines who where ostensibly there to ‘stabilize’ Lebanon. Reagan responded by withdrawing all remaining American troops from that area of the Middle East. Later that same year, the Russians shot down a South Korean airline that made a navigational error and flew through Soviet air space. All 269 people aboard will killed. Did Reagan start World War III to teach Russia a lesson? No. He showed restraint—something today’s warmongers see as weakness.

Stop sullying the name of Reagan, you war whores!

There are many more whores we could have included in this cartoon. You’ll know them when they proposition you to make war, not love. The main pimp, Zelensky, wants us all to join his war stable. He wants more death and more money. Americans need to reject Zelensky and reject the escalation of death in Ukraine. Zelensky will inevitably lose.

Time to go to the peace table. NOW!

Firmly transphobia. I'll update my nomination to reflect that. I mean, this is a Garrison cartoon, so there's probably also racist and antisemitic elements in there as well, but it was drowned out by the pure transphobia. A solid month's worth of Sinfest transphobia compressed into one comic.
