T-man posted:I also enjoyed SMBC in middle school. First, SMBC is barely political. He makes a lot of jokes about political, social, and economic theories, but it's not really political. On the rare occasions when it does get political, it tends to be pretty thoughtful. I know it's trendy to poo poo on "truth is in the middle" people, but that label only make sense when criticizing intellectual lazy people who resort to that phrase in lieu of having their own opinions, which Zach Wiener is not. Second, just mentioning the name of the town and of the rally does not constitute some sick slam dunk on the author or his comic about health care. It was the site of a nationally organized rally that happened to take place there, simply because it was one of many places that elected to remove a confederate monument.

The only "War on Christmas" is the war Christmas started. I heard Christmas songs and saw Christmas decorations in stores in Ocfuckingtober. Thanksgiving has fallen, Halloween is only holding out through massive candy bombardments, and the "Christmas in July" offensive has opened up the war on a new front. I say burn the entire loving holiday down.

It means The Jews. The term manifested when the alt-right realized they couldn't credibly claim an Other is keeping them down when their prefered candidate is president and his party controls the house and senate. So now it's The Secret Jews who run the government from the shadows who are the bad guys. Trump is still an underdog and a victim, everyone!

To be fair, the term "deep state" originated in Turkey where there was actually a shadowy anti-democratic cabal of military officers, intelligence agents, and industrialists who used bribery, intimidation, and violence and had a significant influence on Turkish politics from like the 70's to the 00's. That doesn't really exist in the US, though.

It basically means the civil service, which Trump cannot control because they are regular employees selected for their credentials and skills, and not appointed or chosen by him. They owe him nothing and generally do not care about which party is in power, because they have long-term jobs to do. For example, when a bunch of people in the Trump campaign failed to meet security clearance, that was the DEEP STATE!!!! because some generic fbi career dudes blandly looked into them and found they didn't meet the non-partisan requirements of seeing top secret information. DEEP STATE!!!!!

For example, the accountants who ruled that building a wall without funding it first isn't possible are the DEEP STATE. They oppose Trump's every move with their legal obligation to not make up numbers or falsify documents! Of course, those same CPA people would be fine with working out the numbers on contractors and so on for the wall if it was actually funded, because it's just a job and then they go home.

I like how in his screed the "Deep State" is powerful enough to completely invent the accusations out of whole cloth, but not clever enough to try a tactic that already failed.

So when they saw "law", they mean "White supremacy", and when they say "Crime", they mean "civil rights for minorities". Every one of these attacks on Jones and supportive statements for Moore make way more sense when you realise that. Moore beleves in the rule of total white supremacy, so of course there no fault in portraying the white peoples religion as supreme and above others. Doug Jones prosecuted the KKK, so of course he's good for the civil rights of minorities. Fulchrum fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Dec 11, 2017 |

Emasculator posted:SMBC is cool and good, and what the gently caress does him living in Charlottesville have to do with that comic? I like SMBC, but that cartoon really smacks of somebody who could, up to this point, afford to ignore politics suddenly being like "Wait, these leopards could actually eat my face?!" Also, being that close to the Nazi rally where Heather Heyer was killed and still acting like you're above it all until, again, finally realizing that the leopard might actually eat your face...
