What sparked the duck's raging hateboner for academia, anyway? Is there any public-record reason, or should it all be chalked up to "hateful old man?"

Eh, he's rejecting Trump by flat out rejecting reality and refusing to admit that what everyone told him the Republican party was, and what the Republicans nominated and elected, is a Republican.

Man, Prickly City is loving awful. What is whimsical and childlike about the author's bullshit conservative views? What an insult to the idea of Calvin and Hobbes, which this hack is clearly trying to emulate.

Yeah its just frustrating. In the latest strip he talks about "fighting back" but what is that gonna consist of? Probably just calling Trump stupid while continuing to support every other conservative policy. He's dismayed about the rise of Trump but hasn't actually stepped back to look at why that happened.

I could sort of wing that. It depends. Are you a billionaire considering heavy investment in the ROI? If so I'd rate your chances fairly well.

D.N. Nation posted:Corbyn is ineffectual as gently caress but at least looks like what a daddy's-money urban leftist podcaster thinks is revolutionary. I know it's a novel concept for liberals to wrap their heads around, but some people on the left have these things called principles, and so rather than vote for a candidate based on their appearance or other superficial irrelevance like that, you vote for them based on their politics, on what they stand for. The old idea that policies Jeremy Corbyn stands for a lot of good things. He just also happens to be a horrible leader. And yet it says something about the quality of the bench that despite me acknowledging he's been a really bad leader who has failed in the main thing I voted for him to do (changing the mechanism for how Labour leaders are voted & generally democratising the party's internal politics) while dragging the Overton Window just a tiny bit left again after 40 years of Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown & Cameron, just enough to the left to save one of the few good things about this trash heap country, the NHS. And there's STILL no obvious challenger, even with Corbyn's internal support being demoralised after his whipping on the EU vote. The UK Labour Party's problems run deeper than the leader, or they'd have won the 2015 election. But you just go back to repeating ignorant poo poo about the left because you're mad that Hilary ran a poo poo campaign but you can't blame your darling Queen so blame the insignificant numbers who voted for Stein instead. Much easier than a bit of self-criticism, and reflecting that maybe liberalism is a worthless idea which has lead to a huge growth in inequality across the western world.

It'd be nice if Corbyn were to actually do something. It's almost like politicans are failable humans who make mistakes rather than being ideologically pure supermen. The UK needs a strong opposition to work with May and also to keep her in line and we just....don't at the moment.

OldMemes posted:It'd be nice if Corbyn were to actually do something. It's almost like politicans are failable humans who make mistakes rather than being ideologically pure supermen. Sturgeon tries, but considering she's representing less than 10% of the total population of the UK her influence is somewhat limited. Corbyn is also an ugly position where the main thing he has to play opposition on isn't something he disagrees with on principle, since people already mentioned he was always okay with Leave for leftist reasons. He might be a better opposition if he was directly fighting something else.

What the UK needs is to ditch the FPTP system but neither the Tories or Labour have any interest in doing so since it's what lets them swap power constantly and keep every other party out. The Lib dems screwed the pooch letting Cameron's lot decide the ballot wording for the alternate vote referendum. Who knows when we'll get another shot at change but letting thirty something percent of the population set the government is a bad system.

Oh my god so many in this latest round of cartoons are just blatant "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I" it's becoming surreal. Yes, Nazi Klurf, the only people who hate Capitalism are those who imagine themselves in the same positions of power but specifically in a different type of economy/government, for literally no good reason. Yes, Branco, the only people protesting are those vile snipes chasing cash, while everyone on your side is good and healthy and positive. Yes, Lisa, the media are the ones with egg on their face after that glorious interview Trump so tactfully gave. Yes, idiot whose sloppy mspaint-filled signature I can't make out, all "SJWs" are actually snobby upper-class elites living in gated communities, a stereotype I've never even heard before your ridiculous, reaching desperation. Trogdos! posted:
I've seen your work and I don't believe for a second this is your real problem with them. As if these people are just one bureaucratic hoop away from being accepted with open arms by you and all your buddies. Ohhh, if ONLY they'd gone through the proper channels! But of course it's all loving moot because the news has been about refugees who already have legal channels to go through and are not the same as illegal immigrants so stop loving conflating them you insufferable shitbag.

Kurtofan posted:unless right wingers realize their views are closer to Le Pen's than Macron's/Hamon's or that the left wingers can't be bothered to vote for Crooked Thatcher Man Fillon Starshark posted:Hmm. This sounds familiar. It's a bit different, Le Pen can hardly claim to be the anti-politics candidate considering she first won election to office 2 decades ago & has been leader of her party since 2011. Not to mention that she's a second generation politician. On top of that, even the much hated Sarkozy would beat Le Pen head to head. About the only major party politician who wouldn't is Hollande. Anyway, they don't have to worry about Hamon, because there's no way he finishes second unless Melenchon would step aside. And he won't. So it's going to be either Fillon or Macron, who should both be able to beat Le Pen. Unless there's another big terror attack in France between now & the 2nd week of May. And even then I imagine Fillon or Macron presidencies will do a good job of increasing Le Pen's chances of winning next time round. But we'll see.

Yeah, I remember when Obama threatened to declare war on Mexico. Also when he kept making up fantasy terror attacks to gin up support for another War on Terror. Exactly the same as Trump. But hey, if you think those things were bad then, aren't they still bad now? Except for Donald Trump, who banned everyone from seven countries, legal or not, green card or not.
