I assume that the cartoon was about the 'death of democracy' through voter suppression and lawfare, which the black artist is responding to with a 'welcome to the party, white liberals, glad you could join us.'

Which I disagree with, the break down of the rule of law in the US is both different and dangerous imo, but that's clearly a matter of debate.

The cartoon is about liberals panicking over changing norms when poo poo was never normal, we just pretended it wasn’t going on. Voter suppression has been a thing for decades, and Democrats are acting like it’s a new thing. The warning on Hypocritical Liberal Panic says that it doesn’t actually do anything, so it’s just a cartoon ragging on performative outrage.

I don't know what the hell that cartoon's meant to be about. Which is a shame, because Passmore's usually pretty good at getting a clear message across.

Both the characters are black, and are being invited to realize that judicial inequality, voter suppression and economic disparity are things that exist, by a Big Liberal Brand that yearns for the bygone age of the Obama/Clinton years where those things did not exist.

They are not impressed.

I disagree, that Pope is actually making a good point and sharply. Like I guess the covid variant metaphor to make the point is a bit topical but I don't think it detracts.

I have seen multiple cartoons like this and I always loving hate them.
At the least this particular one is about actual natural disasters and people who are suffering and need help, because most times it's like "we're sorry for those middle eastern folks getting bombed... and they're sorry for us, because look at how high our gas prices are!!"
I guarantee Ukranian civilians are not watching tv and feeling sorry for Australia right now

It's the COVID part that ruins it for me. Apart from the fact they're all happening right now there's not much of a connection between COVID and Ukraine and Palestine and the result muddles and detracts from the message.

quote:

IT’S TIME TO DE-ESCALATE THE ESCALATORS.

We know the propaganda generated by corporate media is scripted by the globalist oligarchy and CIA.

For nearly two years the over-paid talking heads told us the mRNA vaccines were ‘safe and effective’ when they were anything but. Those who refused the vaccines were vilified and demonized as ‘anti-vaxxers’ who were ‘anti-science.’ Free speech was destroyed. Vaccine passports were deployed. It turned out the vaccines were far more dangerous than Covid-19 and its variants. The mainstream media are liars. Why would we think they’re not lying about the war in Ukraine? None of their war propaganda can be trusted.

Fox News and CNN want us to believe that Putin attacked because he wants to restore the old Soviet Union. They keep telling us he’s mentally imbalanced. In reality, he was provoked by war mongering politicians in the west. The legacy media are cheerleading the war. Those who want to adhere to the advice of our founding fathers and avoid foreign entanglements are now being demonized as ‘isolationists.’The simple truth is Putin didn’t want Ukraine to become part of NATO. His was a reasonable request that was contemptuously spit upon by the likes of Biden.

Thanks to Obama funding a regime change, Ukraine became a haven for kickbacks, corruption, and money laundering.

Hunter Biden raked in millions of dollars in graft and so did relatives of many corrupt US politicians. There were seven bioweapons labs near Ukraine’s border. Russia naturally saw those as a threat and destroyed them. Our government then scrubbed their existence from the Internet.There’s no reason to push an expanding NATO empire onto the doorstep of Russia. In fact, when the Soviet Union fell, the archaic NATO should have fallen along with it. Let everyone fund their own defense and mind their own business. Remember, WWI began due to complex alliances and entangling agreements. That war was illogical and WWIII will be the same if we allow ourselves to be talked into it.

Ukraine isn’t worth nuclear war. In this instance America should mind its own business. Many multi-millionaire media personalities disagree with me, of course. Sean Hannity, for example. He proposed sending NATO fighter jets to bomb the Russian convoy, but do it anonymously so Putin wouldn’t know who did it. Not content to leave that bit of moronic strategy on the table, Hannity also proposed to take out the Russian leader. “Cut off the head of the snake,” as he put it. Sean is warmonger.

Other war escalators include his regular guest, Mark Levin, who is loudly beating his war drum these days. Like Sean, Mark is fabulously rich. You can bet that neither of them will go to Ukraine and fight for ‘Democracy’ there. Their weapons are their tongues, which they enjoy wagging. Their allies include George Soros and Klaus Schwab–oligarchs for the New World Order. One Ukrainian politician even proudly stated that they were fighting for that ‘order,’ which promotes a one-world government. The globalists want to conquer Russia. Anti-Russian sentiment among our media and politicians has been ongoing for a long time. Hillary was eager to attack Russia and probably would have had she become president.

The globalist oligarchs who helped steal the election for Biden are billionaires many times over. Some are probably trillionaires, but you can’t mention who they are with out getting smeared. They are the ones who own Fox News and CNN. Look up BlackRock and Vanguard. They own most of the shares in our media companies. The Federal Reserve has been pumping countless billions of dollars into the stock market bubble for many years and those two entities buy up selected stocks. Who owns BlackRock and Vanguard? The central bankers, of course. Who owns the central bankers? Some very rich families who control the west. THOSE are the oligarchs who should have their wealth confiscated, not the Russian ones.

We should confiscate Bill Gates’ wealth for pushing deadly vaccines. We should confiscate Zuckerberg’s fortune because he trampled our free speech and then spent many millions of dollars to help sway and steal our presidential election. Our oligarchs are the ones escalating war because they don’t want Putin to initiate a break from their world currency: The US Dollar. They especially don’t want him to make his currency based on gold. Remember Gaddafi attempted that and Hillary had him whacked.

It’s time to de-escalate the escalators.

:same: Keep in mind however that pro-russian media is absolutely hammering this sort of thing - that the west only cares when white lives are at stake - and running it into the ground. They're not wrong but they're not raising the point to address racism, they're raising the point to distract from a genocidal invasion.

I'm not surprised they ran that one, If you consume Australian media you'll find out pretty quickly that the world revolves around Australia. If an Australian dies in Ukraine that will be front page news and the week's biggest story.

Not like the same thing wouldn't happen in pretty much any other western democracy. If an American died in Ukraine it would be all over the news in America too.

Hillary is somehow shorter than that the CNN guy, but taller than the Soros characture, which seems to have huge legs compared to his tiny torso.
Then theres the Nuclear emblem that is extremely short, yet reaching the railing.
This only gets worse the more you look at it. Just like wars I guess.
