quote:How many times have we heard those on the left make excuses for oppressive communist and socialist regimes, saying communism works, they just didn’t “do it right.” Oh, maybe about the same amount of times we've heard those on the right make excuses for the destructive effects of capitalism, saying capitalism is the best system, but every bad result is "crony capitalism." Give or take.

Rall: Democrats Are Still Scared of Trump Ted Rall posted:Donald Trump left office six months ago, but traumatized Democrats are terrified that he could figure out some way to return to power, for example returning to the White House through an upset victory in 2024. While it is certainly possible that he could pull a Grover Cleveland, maybe they should focus on encouraging the Democratic Party to address voters’ needs now in order to reduce the chances of such a catastrophe.

Abyssal Squid posted:I think "maturity ward" is key to making sense of the cartoon, it's hard to imagine that it's not about explicit content. "Your kid is going to hear a cuss in a rap music and see a boob in a movie, corrupting them indelibly." Marx being there just tacks "this is Cultural Marxism" to the end. Send it to my friend who doesn't get anything usually, he was immediately "it's missing gaming industry" and how the games are bigger influence with the kids than the music or movie blah blah blah. He didn't get the Marx ether, so maybe it's rare gamer Marx.

He seemed just as bloodthirsty as Dems if not more but also way more lazy and cowardly which sometimes gave the world bizarrely more dovish outcomes. Like Obama got Brazil's president jailed and engineered the rise of Bolsonaro to bring Brazil back in line, and couped Honduras etc Trump sent some Soldier of Fortune morons to Venezuela who cried when they got caught and then he was like "oh this Maduro is tougher than I thought, guess he aint so bad" and he didn't even send the US military to occupy Bolivia and prevent the coup plotters from being shamed into holding a real election that they pathetically lost.

Trapezium Dave posted:Rall: Democrats Are Still Scared of Trump Trump still has a huge amount of influence over and support from a large group of people, why is Rall acting like that's an irrational thing to be wary of? It's not Trump the individual I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of him telling his cult to do something dangerous and stupid and them following through. Which is a pretty reasonable fear when they just invaded the capital a few months ago.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Trump still has a huge amount of influence over and support from a large group of people, why is Rall acting like that's an irrational thing to be wary of? I think Rall saw all of the relatively small group of Robert Mueller-worshipping covfefe-type liberals, who did tend to treat Trump like a personal boogeyman, and made the assumption that all criticism of Trump from the left was from people like that. For, you see, only Ted Rall opposes Trump in the correct way.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Honestly the issue isn't even that it's post-apocalyptic, it's that the cartoon doesn't actually say anything. It's an "A Thing Happened" cartoon: a billionaire is going to space in the real world, so here's a cartoon about a billionaire going to space in a post-apocalyptic world, with no opinions or commentary on this event. It'd be no different if the cartoon was in a fantasy land or some Star Trek-esque scifi world, because the cartoon has no message beyond "hey did you hear the news?"
