Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Speaking of dumb poo poo the right latches onto, someone set fire to a Lincoln bust with some fireworks, which I'm gonna call a false flag until proven otherwise.

But Columbus really does need to go. He might not be an inspiration to nazis, but that guy was dog poo poo.

In case you really haven't been keeping up and aren't just poo poo-stirring, here's how this artist feels about women's equality:

I think you should be able to extrapolate from there how the other comic is meant.

Neo-Confederates have plenty of reason to deface Lincoln.

They aren't trying to cleanse history, you shitheel, they're trying to cease the glorification of the ugly parts of it. There's a difference between pretending the Civil War never happened and stressing that the people who owned human beings were wrong.

Schools outside of the south probably aren't gonna stop teaching that the rebellion was about slavery though.

I'm actually relieved to see that so far, these cartoons haven't been as awful as I was bracing myself for since Saturday. Of course, we haven't yet heard from some of the biggest fuckers: Garrison, Lester, and Branco. I half expect them to eventually start assassinating Heather's character.

It's a dickless nazi crying his loving eyes out not the empire strikes back, lmao, the hero is at his low point!!

what a loving joke, whoever wrote that is a dumbshit

Self-mythologising but-I'm-the-protagonist shite is very much a core part of fascist rhetoric.

i take issue with joe schmuckatelli from twitter dot com trying to claim any authority on the matter

sobbing his eyes out doesn't make him look good from a pr or a legal perspective and i'm not going to uncritically follow some random text i see on social media

Uncritically reposting a video created and uploaded by a nazi who wants people to repost the video he created and uploaded, though, that's the woke poo poo, to me

I'll shut up about this after this but I wanna explain: the key thing about that vid is that the intended audience is would-be fascists who see mean ol' antifa types reposting a video of a man who's Very Upset about being treated so Unfairly when all he was doing was Just Asking Questions. Anyone who shares it is being used as a vector and helping it reach those people.

Spreading material that shows these people in a state of vulnerability not of their own making � Spencer sniffling after getting clocked in the loving jaw, the shirtless Charlottesville kid, the "I just wanted to share memes and make friends" frogposter goober from a few weeks back � is effective and takes control of the narrative away from them. This isn't one of those cases, and the guy in the video understands that. When you share material that nazis produce themselves, on their own terms � material that directly and blatantly exploits the "our enemies want to see us chagrined and humiliated" insecurity of the pro-fascist base � you're complicit in disseminating their propaganda.

Seriously cleansing history would be telling a story of America that didn't involve Thomas Jefferson loving his slaves or the Fort Pillow Massacre or Rosewood Florida, aka what conservatives actually want to do.

Trump is tearing off his face so he can reveal how much of a hate skeleton he is. A Poltergeist cartoon.

This is fun because the Online Left genuinely does seem to have an imbalance there, but Tinsley being Tinsley he thinks any amount of the latter is unacceptable. "I was happy until you made this problem affect me, you selfish thugs!!!!!"
