Has Putin show any kind of communist leanings? Yeah, I know he was a KGB guy in the Cold War days, but he’s been running the show for a couple decades now and hasn’t exactly been trying to dismantle capitalism.

And yes, I understand cartoonists are creatively bankrupt and are only bringing up the USSR because Thing Bad.

Is there a good write-up anywhere on whatever the gently caress happened to/with Sinfest? It's loving fascinating. Like I remember back in high school my best friend reading it and it was just some regular webcomic back then, notable only for having pretty slick art. Then I remember years back seeing it in these threads and that Ishida had gone all in on feminism and poo poo, and apparently lost his mind, then later still popping back in and finding he's now full on reactionary radfem lunacy.

Like what the hell happened and how? And how does he still have an audience?

Putin's Russia is pretty much exactly the country Republicans want America to be. It is a "democracy" but only votes for Putin are counted, the media isn't allowed to criticize his party, being gay is illegal and the government is propped up by a bunch of deeply criminal billionaires. It's no coincidence that Trump floated the idea of eliminating term limits after visiting Poots.

You'll notice the only people still referring to Russia as communist or Soviet are political cartoonists and Twitter nobodies, because nobody cares enough to clue them in.

The short answer is that it used to be sort of standard online dudebro humor, full of "ironic" racism and sexism and cheesecake art. The things that made it stand out were a crisp clean presentation and a regular update schedule. At some point people started getting tired of that particular brand of humor, and Ishida tried to get with the times, and went full Male Feminist. That is when you performatively say you're a feminist now and invoke a couple lines like they are magic words, but do nothing to examine or address your own biases, and expect accolades and adulation for your brave stand.

No one really bought his turn to feminism and he'd have to do some actual introspection and hard work to win over that crowd, but the TERFs found him, and having TERF friends is this wonderful thing where you can be as misogynist as you want, so long as you make sure you hate trans people the most, and people will still call you a feminist and assure you that the actual feminists are the real woman haters. Once you find that rabbit hole of being a bigot who is telling themself and each other that they're the real progressives, there is basically no limit to how reactionary you can get.

It's the dudebro -> Male Feminist -> TERF -> fascist pipeline, and Ishida may be the clearest example of it there is. For the longer answer, there is the cool twitter thread someone already linked.

Stultus Maximus posted:

Lately I've been hearing way too many people, from pundits to my own wife, saying "Oh man, I guess we were all wrong to laugh at Mitt Romney."

No. No we weren't. And not only is this war not evidence of Mittens being right but is pretty strong argument about just how wrong he was.

Russia's military is far weaker and rotten than we knew.
Russia's economy is weak and vulnerable, and their attempt to threaten others is only going to make Europe accelerate a shift away from Russian energy.
Russia has no friends. Even Kazakhstan doesn't want any part of this. The best they can do are puppet states and some weak sauce spite-support from India.*
Russia cannot challenge us militarily, economically, or politically. They can be a big pain in the rear end, but "number one geopolitical rival?" That is laughable. China can challenge us militarily (as far as we can tell). They are definitely challenging us economically and politically. Romney was dead wrong and this is proof.

* India is generally, rightfully salty about how we treat them. NATO/Western democracies don't treat them like the "world's largest democracy", like a peer, and like a partner. We more or less ignore them until it's time to try to get an alliance to counter China or Russia. They don't trust the West and they feel disrespected and they aren't wrong.

Exactly what VS said.
Gorrell turns in several blank pages a year and gets paid actual legal human currency as a cartoonist for it.
He's quite possibly the smartest cartoonist in this thread, by that metric.

Maybe it's just me but his blank cartoons somehow feel less lazy than ones like this Ukraine one. The blank ones at least included coming up with some kind of joke, even if bad, where the punchline is "the answer is nothing, lmao gottem". This one is a lazy Google and an even lazier image edit and the caption is just... "Ukraine".

It's not saying anything. Dude straight up "a thing happened" the Russia-Ukraine war. That's advanced low effort.

Nah I also think that this is the case. Like a blank cartoon does require some thought put into it.
That's why it bothers me so, this is not even "I don't have my homework but I'm gonna fake it", but just "oh poo poo this is due tomorrow and it's already midnight, time to whip it out in 3 minutes", hence the low-res thumbnail quality of the globe and highlighting outside of lines.
