To be fair, blaming both communists and capitalists is a very Nazi thing to do. Well, one particular type of capitalists, and Branco's depiction has the nose for it, just about. I just can't tell if it's intentional or because his "art" is hideous.

Yeah it's really not a good thing when fascists are the loudest voices denouncing corporate power and overreach. This is what happens when you don't have an actual left wing party.

RoboRodent posted:Man, the cognitive dissonance involved in believing capitalism is the greatest and also recognizing that capitalism is doing harmful things. There's a Dwarf Fortress play-through where the author characterises dwarf dialogue by having them refer to everything negative as "elf-" that thing. So, rocks collapsing are elf-rocks, harpies attacking them are elf-birds, spoiled food is elf-food, et cetera. I think about that a lot when folks use "communism" as a generic political negative. Communist Corporate America, holy poo poo. Space Cadet Omoly posted:I dunno, replacing all human cops with emotionless robots actually seems like a step up from what we have now. We regret to inform you that the emotionless robots were accidentally programmed to inherit current racist biases and also can't be stopped by bullets

Love to see Garrison is now so scared of Big Trans that he hides his transphobic bullshit in the middle of a paragraph that starts out about vaccines and ends up about vaccines, in a rant that's supposed to be about not being afraid. Dude's loving shook that people are expecting the equal rights his beloved constitution promised them.

It is the year 2147, and Ramirez’s greasy brain secretes the necessary hormones in his jar to trigger the computer to upload another cartoon about how President Mecha-Jeb! cannot leave Afghanistan lest the Taliban win. The bloated brain drips a few more chemicals, and another cartoon follows. Iran will have nukes any day!

Raised By Birds posted:Mike Lester The most amazing part about this is that Lester also drew the character speaking as wearing a basketball jersey. So what's Lester really saying here? It's only hypocritical for black people to wear clothes made in China? It's totally fine for white people, of course. Because white people are historically fine with slaves.

Raised By Birds posted:Mike Lester There is a lot to unpack here. 1) The only reason Lester cares about the detention and abuse of Uighurs in China is because it's a way for him to say China Bad. If it were happening in any other country he wouldn't give a poo poo about a Muslim population being oppressed. 2) Note the bartender, who is Black-coded and is playing the role of "background character who agrees with Lester and is looking into the camera to indicate this". (Lester often includes this character in his cartoons; when he's talking about race the character is almost always Black or Black-coded.) 3) Note the difference in skin tones between the first and second speakers; the second is clearly meant to be Standard White Person, and the first is...

Scott Morrison and the government have been resisting calling a commission but a campaign from the veteran community and the crossbench has flipped them. Broelman: Spooner: Peter Dutton overrules decision to strip medals from SAS soldiers who served in Afghanistan (Guardian). The chief of the defence force Angus Campbell previously said the evidence that implicated 25 members of the unit in war crimes in Afghanistan was enough to revoke the meritorious unit citation from them, but Dutton has reversed that except for those soldiers that are actually convicted of a war crime.

I can only read that Lester as "THIS IS WHAT CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY BELIEVE". We're led to think he's a hypocrite liberal, but this is just face value conservative gatekeeping.

He's going for a double "You're the real racist." Hypocritical libs and black people are both the Real Racists because they both think that slavery only ever happened to Africans. It's on the same Greatest Hits album as "Actually, the Africans are the ones who were doing the most selling other Africans to the whites" and "Irish people can't be racist because they were also slaves"
