Raised By Birds posted:Mike Lester Edit: oh, this is about Whoopi Goldberg equating Nazis and Jews as two sides of a conflict. What a weird way to illustrate that point? Edit edit: no, actually people are mad about Goldberg about saying it wasn't about race because Nazi ideology is actually racist, but I'm still confused about what the Hatfields Mccoys have to do with this??

Zulily Zoetrope posted:weird how unqualified people getting appointed to positions they don't deserve for political reasons only ever happens when the people in question are minorities, and is a fair assumption whenever you see a minority with authority over you I mean "You should recuse yourself because this issue affects you is basically a meaningless argument at this point. There's still conservatives out there saying that Obgerfell doesn't actually apply, because two of the justices that ruled in favour had performed gay marriage ceremonies, and thus couldn't be impartial. Never mind the fact that by their logic gay marriage is a threat to the sanctity of marriage, and thus no Supreme Court justice should get to decide on it.

Raised By Birds posted:Mike Lester There's a couple levels to this. The obvious one is, you know, all of the people murdered by the Nazis weren't in a feud with Germany. That is, literally, the Nazi narrative. It's (one of the) rationalisations used by Nazis to "justify" their crimes. And this is of course bullshit victim blaming. So gently caress that. But it's also worth noting that one of the proximate causes of the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys was that William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield was the leader of a pro-Confederate guerrilla group after the Civil War, and he took credit for the ambush and murder of Asa Harmon McCoy after he returned home from serving the Union Army during the war.

SubG posted:So walk me through what the comic is supposed to mean. Lester being a reactionary doesn't really care about any of that context. He hears a liberal celebrity said the phrase "white people" in a way he sees as dismissive. This gets him extremely angry. So the comic is supposed to condemn Whoopi Goldberg for being too dismissive of white people dying. For this purpose Lester is also considering Jewish people white so that he may be offended on their behalf.
