Over several decades, successive regimes in Iraq systematically destroyed the country’s 2,500-year-old Jewish community and seized its property, down to the last ancient prayer book and Torah scroll.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein kept it all in the basement of his secret police headquarters. Until the U.S. invasion the material which included thousands of documents, artifacts and everything from Jewish day school records to rare editions of the Talmud moldered away.

In May 2003, 16 American soldiers searching for biological and chemical weapons entered the building, and there in the basement, in four feet of water, they found the waterlogged treasures of the destroyed Jewish community.

The State Department has now announced that the stolen Jewish property will be "returned" to the Iranian puppet regime in Baghdad in September 2018.

So is there any evidence at all that black people did the looting or is Lester THAT racist?

I'm asking: is "charity only serves to weaken the poor" the original concern troll/FYGM? Or was there something back in ancient times?

There's evidence that black people took stuff from stores.

There's also evidence that white people took stuff from stores, but mysteriously that doesn't count for some reason.

Also what kind of a loving weirdo sees video of people robbing a store and says "boy, we really handled the end of slavery wrong"

Weirdo? He's a self deluded white supremacist.
Asshat probably thinks that black people aren't.

E: the preceding cartoon went completely over my head, what does it mean?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost count of the number of times in recent years that I’ve been informed by a corporation of such a breach. “We regret to inform you ….” I don’t doubt that companies regret these things, but I don’t think they care that much either. To them it means just a few days of bad press and at most a fine that amounts to a minuscule portion of their profits. With penalties like that, why would companies bother to make things better?

There are technical factors that explain why cybersecurity is so weak, but the underlying reason is political, and it’s pretty simple: Big corporations have poured large amounts of money into our political system, helping to create a regulatory environment in which consumers shoulder more and more of the risk, and companies less and less.

This is a general feature of our lopsided world, but software businesses (and the technology sides of other companies) have acquired perhaps the greatest degree of impunity. Information technology arrived on the scene only recently, so it has faced fewer of the kinds of regulations that consumers and citizens, in more progressive eras, managed to impose on other industries.

Can anyone explain the deal with this comic to me? I see this artist posted a lot in this thread and the topics never seem specifically political. It just seems like the most standard webcomic topics possible with like above average art for a webcomic. Is there something about it that makes it not just "megatokyo but girls" that makes it a political cartoon?

Do all the girls represent like countries or something I'm missing?

Zelda is a good newspaper comic and a lot of the thread's old regulars like it, including me. This is the reason it stays even if it is only sometimes political.
