Rall is paid by the Russian government, their goal is to sow dissent by creating opposing arguments.

See the old CGP Grey video concerning internet arguments called "this video will make you angry".

Why is it that since he is paid by a Russian government publication that people assume he's playing like twelve dimensional chess or something? As far as I can tell he's always been like this regardless of who his money was coming from.

Tbf the thing he originally got mad about was Lubchansky responding to something dumb he said by tweeting "get Jesse Singal fired from every publication in existence challenge 2019", which, yes, is actually still an incredibly dumb thing to get mad about and not even remotely close to a justification for "now, let's just hypothetically say some hypothetical person were to *ahem* tell their Internet followers to castrate Matt Lubchansky" considering it was a casual shitpost that wasn't even meant for Singal to read it, let alone be somehow intimidated by it

I think Jesse's done a good job proving why it's an important goal, though, and if he keeps this up he'll be doing his part to actualize it.

Also Stonetoss has the benefit of seeming innocuous at a glance, whereas Rallart is atrocious at any dosage.

It’s an exaggeration for comedic effect. C’mon. Also, would you even be surprised if wealthy families bribed schools to pass their brats?

This is the most reasonable answer, but its always worth pointing out who's funding these things. He doesn't have to be a puppet to support their agenda.

I can't figure it out either. For years we had Michelle "secretly has a penis" Obama force-feeding our kids lettuce to try to curb the freemarket-ordained obesity epidemic in America, and now the government is cracking down on body shaming to enable unhealthy diets? They can't be implying Trump is behind that because no one body shames despite having a disgusting body more than Trump.

I think it's Payne trying to be honest about "Republicans scream and cry about the deficit, but actually submit budgets that are also incredibly bloated and bad"

Though, the Trump budget isn't actually that bad about the deficit, it's just that it cuts the deficit by destroying Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, so it's an incredibly stupid take

It's using weight-loss as a metaphor: because the GOP tends to scream about the need to reduce deficits, but then runs up the deficit because it can't control spending and cuts taxes, it's like they're actually very much in favor of being fat and stupid and useless

Though now that I re-look at it, I misinterpreted the shirt as being "FOR body-shaming" which means I guess it's just A THING HAPPENED over Trump's gigantic budget

Well, I'm sure there was outrage in the streets by the right for a government censoring people's first amendment rights.
