...is it bad that the worst part of this to me is that there's absolutely no loving pattern at all to their positioning

it's not alphabetical, by party, by institution, or anything - it's almost that the Rs are on the inside except for the skunk just randomly making GBS threads on that pattern which I guess is appropriate?

I'm trying to think of a way to interpret "there is no way to criticize Wall Street without being anti-semitic" that is not ironically itself anti-semitic, and I'm coming up short, because it seems to depend on an assumption that Jews really do Run All The Banks

Remember, most investment bankers are WASPs, because most rich people in general are WASPs

I've posted these before, but here's some more Kalle Erkkil� cartoons

"Hell�? Is it the welfare office? I need some fast gas money for my... ...hobbies." (the use of the letter '�' tells this is happening in Sweden)

"Then: You'll move, or you'll cry and you move!" / "Now: I'm crying and getting moved!"

(at welfare office) "Then: We won't repay your taxi trip without a receipt! / Oh dear, I lost it in the first aid!" / "Now: We'll pay your daily benefits, children's benefits, housing benefits and others while you're abroad on... er, a posting!"

"Schools celebrate a ~~climate~~ fairytale day / "I will huff and puff until the carbon dioxide raises the global temperature and the world is destroyed by heat! /IPCC Climate Report"

(Finland had a gay presidential candidate in 2012 - this election too, though pretty much nobody appears to care about that any more)

A far right politician is saying "Tseh, bitch" ('tseh' is a generic dog call in Finnish) to a public prosecutor - the hand that holds the leach says "SUVAKKIHUO-", probably short for "SUVAKKIHUORA", "TOLERATARD WHORE".

I am not Godwhining in defense of Wall Street I am saying that maybe not every attack against banks is racist because it didn't come from proper side.

Also, new Garrison. I guess we'll have to wait a few days for his breathless anticipation for the XFL's revival.

Can he go 15 minutes without thinking about the Clintons? Also the joke doesn't work as described in the blurb. There's no clock displaying 12:01PM, so uh...good work there buddy.

Hmm Mueller is labeled but I can't figure out who the guy on the left is. More labels next time, Ben.

Well gee I don't know, maybe if you'd like to make the point that critics on the right can object to banks and wall street for reasons other than anti-Semitic dog-whistling, maybe try to avoid doing so about one who notorious for doing precisely that?

Well, when one side has Neo-Nazi rallies which devolve into actual vehicular murder, while the other's loudest critic of banking was a Jewish presidential primary contender, the argument kind of makes itself. The idea that horseshoe theory in any way makes sense when you compare a popular democratic socialist to the alt-right movement is a loving joke.

The other ones at least have a coherent message (in the sense that while it's distorted far-right bile, it's recognizable distorted far-right bile), but this is honestly incomprehensible, aside from the gay caricature. Bullheadedly trying to do impossible poo poo is good? Being able to be emotionally affected by things is bad? This from a guy who's so emotionally affected by TEH GAYZ that he draws himself petulantly screaming at them?
