I gotta write this new Conservative hot take down to embroider on a pillow: "People...who like one thing...might NOT like...a totally different thing". Christ why has it taken so long to come to such a mind blowing idea? "But you liked when I pushed you on a swing, how can you NOT like it when I push you over a cliff????"

Is IQ averaging done by country or by planetary population?

I wanna know if Garrison is such a dense motherfucker that he failed literally by definition, or just cause he can't figure out the problem with judging Syrian people's intelligence with a test designed for Americans, based on American culture.

I'm still salty about his "mooooooooral highground" bullshit cartoon but still: the white male isn't the one the StormTrumpers are going to go right for with smiles on their faces given the targets of opportunity clearly presented.

If he's the only one who is trying to go by the rules and therefore say what Trump can or cannot do, then yes they are.

This isn't like a rodeo bull thing, where white people trying to stopped Trump could use Muslims and black people to distract him. You do get that, right?

White people aren't going to bear the harshest treatment under Trump relative to minorities. I KNOW it's not what he's going because of who he is for he's using the same imagery as KKlurf and the "B-b-but MEN!" in response to women being attacked. It's bad optics and makes it a questionable cartoon.

Also yes, you absolutely could use a minority to distract from white people when dealing with Trump supporters, much like they use a nebulous "homeless vets" concept to distract from refugees while not actually caring about real homeless vets.

Intelligence testing is basically pseudoscience, and tests can only compare people within a community. Forget worldwide, you can't meaningfully compare people's intelligence from different cities. This is something the Bush educational reforms got right--a school's performance is based on improvement, comparing a school to itself, not to other schools.

The only real comparison you can make between intelligence levels in different countries is literacy rates, and even that's awful. Languages are very divergent, and countries define literacy in their country differently.

Calling me "moronic" for pointing out that "one of the good ones" has a imagery problem with his cartoon is just rife with conversational possibilities and responses. But I guess dissent only emboldens our enemies so I shouldn't point out optic problem and just nod in agreement with every comic that hints at being on the Left even if you have to know who the comic is by to grasp their real meaning.

again, just assume the white guy is some kind of non-racial minority and your myopic 'optic problem' goes away

Yup. "Dumb as hell" to dissect the visual cues in a visual medium in a thread to discuss the visual medium of political cartoons. Next I'll want to talk about the SOUND of a band in the MUSIC thread! ANARCHY!!

Your only point is "Don't talk bad about the good ones because they agree with us". Ok. Good point. I'm sorry I emboldened our enemies. Boy that pro-Trump cartoon sure had troubling visuals amIrite????

When the only response is "You're stupid for thinking that way against a good cartoonist" without context or reason it is, in essence, "just shut up". Then you pop up to tell me that "u stoopid" is part of the fabric of healthy debate that I should embrace and respond to.

If it helps, I don't think you're necessarily stupid, I just think you're really reaching for excuses to criticize someone you were already mad at for other reasons, and are now just sort of saying whatever because you're mad that nobody else is going along with it

Leak notes:
CFMEU is the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, and drawing Opposition Leader Bill Shorten as its puppet is a stock Leak character (including the red cap which pre-dates Trump).

Turnbull had a phone call with Trump to secure the deal to resettle the refugees on Manus Island and Nauru and since then has been saying only very chummy things about our relationship with the US, to the point where everyone on the political spectrum has noticed and is wondering what this is going to cost us in return.
