Ah, to live the wonderful life of a politically cartoonist, cartoonisting politically, expressing opinions, berating people for expressing opinions and to be so lucky people keep dying every now and then.

Garrison has this weird mentality that something is poisoned and ruined forever if any of it does something disagreeable. It'd be like if the Simpsons were sympathetic to Nazis and I swear off cartoons as a whole; coupled with me ranting that cartoons hadn't been good in years and how the Korean animators shouldn't complain about lovely working conditions.

When you realize he was originally a "GOOGLE RON PAUL" guy things really start to make sense.

What irks me most is that he hides his islamophobia and bloodlust behind this lighthearted "us plucky jews are used to having it tough! :shobon:

" horseshit, and then transfers that to the concept of Israel, a country who has the steadfast military backing of the most powerful nation in the world.

"Wow, I guess "palestine" is a COUNTRY all of a sudden, like its citizens are humans or whatever. Just like in nazi germany, we jews are being ignored... criticizing Israel is the same as comitting genocide. Trump needs to let this bearded fatso go to Israel with him to make things right."

This one is more directly racist, but I feel like his last(?) one, where he literally said that any and all actions committed by Jews are justified and will be forgiven by God, might have been even worse. I might be misremembering it but it felt like he was two steps from calling for actual genocide, and definitely was saying that such a thing would be good. It was unsettling.

Edit: Found it:

Chip Bok posted:

Hugh Hefner was a frustrated as a cartoonist, so he pursued other interests and founded Playboy magazine.

You probably only read Playboy for the fiction. But I read it for the cartoons. Hefner chose the cartoons for each issue.

I think he also chose the other pictures that appeared in his magazine. And he developed the �Playboy Philosophy� to help him with that task.

But the world of internet porn and political correctness made things difficult for Playboy. An obit in The Atlantic argues that what Playboy offered was �sanitized � Hefner wanted the centerfolds to exude clean-cut charm rather than exotic allure.�

What it should have offered was more cartoons.

Hef was 91 when he died on Wednesday.

Slacktivism is still a non ruined word.
Just use that.
Also it forms a much more cogent and focused point than 'virtue signalling'.

Except the word "slacktivism" is also incorrectly used, according to the person who coined it: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2013/12/18/to-use-vice-principal-stricklands-language-is-to-repeat-his-mistakes/

Fred Clark, aka The Slacktivist posted:

Which is why many of the people using the terms �slacktivism� and �slacktivist� probably shouldn�t be. I�m not just being proprietary here � this non-ironic, pejorative use of those words doesn�t work. It�s self-defeating. It repositions the speaker as a scold. And as a particular kind of scold � the ineffective, irrelevant grumpy old person whining about how kids these days are no drat good.

Conservative ideology is based entirely on ignorance of the truth and is perpetuated exclusively by denying the truth, once learned, and maintaining that ignorance in future generations.

Nah, Carmen's young enough that the only presidents she's lived through are W, Obama, and Trump. And W's embarrassing enough that establishment Republicans ignore him and Trumpist Republicans openly dislike him.
