I'm getting tired of pseudo-feminist bullshit like Sinfest so here's a a strip from Dykes To Watch Out For (written by Alison Bechdel of "Bechdel-Test" fame) that has a better understanding of trans people, sexuality and gender in 1994 than Ishida has ever had in his pathetic life: I've been reading through the anthology and have been pretty much hooked! Probably gonna find some more good ones about various topics and post them here if there's interest.

Meanwhile, if you mention some other pallets of money connected to a country that starts with "I", and their relation to the inability of Republicans to foreign policy or economy or war good, you get called a reductionist socialist...

To 'understand,' you have to assume that there was a 0% chance Iran would uphold their end of the bargain, that they would just switch to making Secret Nukes. Then it's like we're just giving them money for nothing! OUR money, even though it was never actually ours but I will keep being willfully dense about this just to make it seem bad! How weak and naive!

They’re already saying Obama was a fool since Iran is reportedly resuming its nuclear program. Just ignore the small detail that Trump pulled us out of the deal leaving Iran with no incentive to uphold its end of the bargain.

I mean I'm looking at it again and that's not just willfully dense, that is the output of a mind aware on some level that self-reflection is incompatible with its continued existence and therefore must be prevented at any cost

It's entirely that bit in 1984 where the war effort switches sides mid-speech and everyone has to pretend that all the propaganda in sight was obviously put there by unseen traitors.

I think of all the insane hateful bullshit in that comic what weirdly stands out is that he's sort of implying those people just tripped into the water. Like, obviously they were shoved by a democrat, but given how stupid a motherfucker Rob Smith Jr is it's possibly he seriously believes they just fell over in the muck and that's how this happened.

We already went through this pivot in Australia. When it became obvious that the refugee concentration camps were indefensibly cruel, the line became how dangerous the journey to Australia is. Therefore treating people like poo poo to discourage them from making the journey becomes in their best interests and if you do anything to make refugees' lives better you are indirectly killing them by making them want to come here. After years of the media and both political parties pushing this view refugee concentration camps in Australia are now seen by many people as a necessary evil done in the name of noble humanitarianism, and people who criticise this system are the real refugee-haters.

It literally doesn't matter what the specifics of the Iran deal were or how well it worked, it stood in the way of the war industry and saber-rattlers, so it was bad no matter what

There are a lot of similarities between INGSOC and the GOP. The practices of "Two Minutes Hate", "Doublethink" and denialism come immediately to mind.

I think it's a "Women are bad drivers." joke, but this thread tends to be full of that "jokes that were funny in the 50s" hackwork, so maybe my frame of reference is too small.

Remember they are thinking of inspectors in Iraq in perpetuity looking for those weapons that they were totally hiding and moving. They are too stupid to remember when the invasion found non of those weapons and the inspectors actually worked. Back to the thread, there was a decade of Saddam hiding missiles under lampshades and poo poo. That's what Boomers remember.

How weak and naive! They also like to say that the deal didn’t fix all the problems with Iran, so it was a failure. But that ignores the point of the deal. You listen to ex-Obama people and they will tell you that they knew there were other problems, but the idea of Iran having a nuke was so dangerous that it had to be dealt with separately. Humanitarian concerns, prisoners, sponsoring terrorism and the like had to be ignored to focus on the main issue. Once you got that deal working and followed it for a couple years, you’d build up some trust and could start working on other issues. That’s all out the window now, and for nothing.

Pants Donkey posted:Dustin would be 32 years old if the comic operated on real-time. It's only relevant still because A) the economy is still hostile to every college grad entering the work force, because jobs are either low-paying, have awful conditions, or requiring way more experience than needed. So yeah, HISTORICALLY LOW UNEMPLOYMENT means little when you're still one repair or hospital bill from disaster or have to work yourself to sometimes literal death in a Amazon warehouse just to have some financial breathing room. I’m looking forward to Zits in 20 years still being about boomer parents bewildered that their gen-x teen won’t listen to them because of all of his electronic whatsits. If newspaper comics still exist in 20 years.

It wasn't going to result in the destruction of a large Middle Eastern country, the death of hundred of thousands of Muslims, the blocking of one of the most important maritime passages for international trade, and a massive influx of refugees towards Europe. In other words, it wasn't going to sow chaos and destabilize the entire world for the benefit of a few American war profiteers. And that's absolutely unacceptable if you're one of the handful of war profiteers who pay the checks for the Ramirezes of the world.
