There's no shortage of crocodile tears in cartoons, but Mike Lester's concern for the plight of the poor already-immigrated Syrians having to watch more Syrians being admitted into the US is spectacularly cheeky.

Well, the list of things that they apparently think are ruined by other people having them too already includes money, college education, and marriage; in that context it's actually not that much of a stretch for them to think the same thing about American residency

Between voter ID laws and the narrative of immigrants all voting democrat, it feels like the GOP spends a significant amount of their time pulling their hair out wracking their brain for a reason why they don't always win all the time.

Were you paying attention in 2012? Because voter suppression best-practices became a serious issue among the right-wing for a while after Romney lost. Also stuff like weighing districts' voting strength based on the amount of land they cover (which is of course inversely proportional to population density) etc etc etc

You've got to love that the very first "positive" example is the Native American equivalent to the n-word.

Uh, the people who want alot of those names changed the most are the Native Americans themselves who find them offensive. That cartoon is completely ridiculous, I mean redskin is just a straight up racial slur. Edit: Might as well post this Onion article.

Lester seems clever enough that I'm pretty sure he knows exactly what he's doing with these cartoons: soothing racist wingnut readers that they aren't actually racist, and giving them some hottakes.jpg to use on their Facebook wall.

quote:The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." ("the aide" = Karl Rove)

I personaly like the Sardinia flag with 4 severed head of islamics guys.  Something about some Aragorn king killing muslim invaders and having a after-trough "you know that, this would be a cool flag". And the mozambique flag, with a motherfucking AK-47 in it.  Usually you see things like blades, muskets and pikes, but this guys have a ak-47 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_flags_with_weapons

Rorus Raz posted:Erin Bonsteel - Young, crazy, and conservative, her artwork indicates a seething hatred for the whole world. Bonsteel can probably go on the no longer cartooning list. She hasn't produced anything in more than a year and antiantiunderground.com has been offline for about that long (well, not offline, it's some kind of Japanese language website now). In fact, it looks like she has taken down everywhere that she hosted her cartoons. She was young and never did cartooning as a job, so she probably just decided to bury it completely it and move on.  Cousin Itt is male and uses male pronouns. Not My Leg fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jan 5, 2016 |

She got married, as I recall. I like to think she stopped cartooning because now she's happy and settled in her life. Or at the very least she now has a husband on whom to take out her misanthropy.

Or the spirit of hate that used her as an avatar shed her and merged with a spirit of vindictiveness and they are now amalgamating into a horrible elder being, creating horrible offspring, spreading their seed into innocent human beings. Happy New Year, everybody! Tei posted:I personaly like the Sardinia flag with 4 severed head of islamics guys. Corsica also uses the Moor's head, but they moved the bandanna off the head's eyes to represent their liberation. Apparently Sardinia does the same. An African Unification group uses it too.
