Lodin posted:There's a very easy answer to this question: money. No argument that money corrupts, but, I think there's also the factor that Money removes filters. I mean, I work in a really conservative leaning industry, so I make it a point to make all of my liberal opinions private, since it would legit hurt my chances at finding work or getting promoted. But, if I hit the powerball or something, gently caress it, my opinions would fly free like the wind. Edit: New page, have a cartoon

Realistically more money just tends to make you more conservative because taxes just become something that inconvenience you that take away your profits instead of something that helps maintain your quality of life.

Based on his MRAish/anti-SJW stuff, I think it's less "money corrupts" and more "money means he can't internally deflect his unhappiness by saying it's a lack of money that keeps him from dating/having more friends, and he's lashing out rather than face his own flaws". Goldwater rule gone, I can armchair psych like a pro now

It's market-based, that's why the left complains about the ACA. It's just propping up what's already there and not really doing much to fix it, much like all of the Dem policies the past few decades. No big ideas, just plugging holes as the GOP continues to destroy everything at the state level.

Lodin posted:There's a very easy answer to this question: money. I think popularity / the spotlight is a huge factor too, but I suppose that comes with monetary success? If you have a stubborn mindset having a ton of people shout at you that you're wrong probably is not the best way to become more open-minded, doubly so when you have people that will rush to your defence. It becomes really easy to insulate yourself with like-minded individuals and create an "us vs them" mentality that I think is sort of the crux of the whole "anti-sjw" poo poo.

It's just propping up what's already there and not really doing much to fix it, much like all of the Dem policies the past few decades. No big ideas, just plugging holes as the GOP continues to destroy everything at the state level. We weren't starting from full communism! We were starting from an almost unspeakably cruel system where denying people health care was a successful business model. Adding massive regulation to the market and, as is eternally forgotten, putting 16 million people on Medicaid (a.k.a. single-payer) was a huge step in the right direction. There was nothing that took us farther away from health equality. Every law affecting the U.S. economy short of full communism is market-based. Measuring everything against the ultimate ideal is like staring at the sun. You fry your ability to see meaningful change for the better. Also, leaving the Democrats aside for a moment, calling the ACA a Republican plan makes the GOP seem like a normal party with some disagreement on methods rather than a Randian death cult trying to murder the poor. Gives them too much credit.

Captain Sean Spicer, the most well known Trek captain. Also at going after furries, that's some serious validation to be painted as an enemy in a Garrison toon.

I'm guessing this has to do with the internet calling out William Shatner for whining about SJWs? I don't understand what point he's trying to make though.

Throwing shade at the Internet's favorite sassy gay uncle? Yeah, that's gonna go well. EDIT: Did Takei even say anything about Shatner sticking his dick in the soup, or is this Garrison just lashing out?

I can't find anything about Takei commenting on Shatner's latest tirade, so it's Garrison lashing out. Everyone knows they don't get along well at all since Shatner is basically the racist homophobic uncle of the Internet whereas Takei is the cool gay uncle.

Although it makes me wonder if there was anything specific he added it in response to. Maybe as he was drawing furry tribbles he thought of furries in general.

Discendo Vox posted:Wait, is that an "XY" on Kirk's badge? His comics go up on his patreon a few hours (I think) before they show up on his site, and from there they get posted to The_Donald and from there to the rest of the internet. According to his patreon, it's titled "The Trouble With Trannies."
