At least the anti-barcode insanity gave us this banger. I thought this would be about the Cathy comic strip, but it was so much better.

I thought of that one random russian dude in Metal Gear Rising who explodes with the petrol plant in the cutscene after you defeat Mistral. But I doubt Deering has played Revengence. Clay Jones tho, holy poo poo

Rall: The House Always Wins Ted Rall posted:It is virtually inconceivable that Ukraine will be able to defeat Russia militarily. Russia is simply too powerful. So what’s the point of sending weapons to Ukraine? There can only be one net effect, to prolong the war and the suffering to the benefit of the defense industry.

Can we send Toot Roll as aid? I guarantee that every single armament will target him alone and let Ukraine be.

"So we decided to hire another white man instead." Without anymore context this is a good cartoon. I guess Fishman's intent was that the reader should assume that an incompetent person with minority background is getting the job instead?

It's exactly this. TERF ideology isn't based on making conclusions from data, it's based entirely on their idea that being a woman is a magical soul shard implanted before you are born. They will pick up useful talking points and discard them in the same conversation. Though sinfests constant cacophony of hormones are easily accessible did get me saying the extremely cis point of "I wish it was that easy to get hormones" which in turn helped me accept who I was.

Trapezium Dave posted:Rall: The House Always Wins Interesting to see the evolution of this Russian shill's approach to the conflict. First it was "but what about America doing this?" Then it was "why do you care about Ukraine but not America doing other thing?" Now it's "why is America prolonging the war that Russia started?"

I mean if Thud wanted to make a halfway sensible cartoon about drones and the military-industrial complex he could've had the Raytheon execs annoyed and jealous that Turkey had horned in on their business with the Bayraktars. That might at least be sort of a cogent comment.

Todd Rell posted:So what’s the point of sending weapons to Ukraine? There can only be one net effect, to prolong the war and the suffering Okay so what the gently caress is Ukraine supposed to do then? Welcome the Russians as liberators (Hmm, where have I heard that before)? Commit suicide? Seriously what the gently caress is this take? "If only the Ukrainians would stop fighting back, the war would be over (because they would all be dead, but at least then the war would be short and they wouldn't suffer)." Pants Donkey posted:It’s weird to say Ukraine can’t win the war when Afghanistan has done it not just to Russia, but the US as well in just the past 40 years. Now I'm just imagining Rall being a cartoonist in the 60s saying "Why is Vietnam even trying, there's no way they can win against the power of the US military."

You'd probably have to go looking off the English speaking web to find something approaching the equivalent. There was probably French Rall or something int eh 1960s. Am I supposed to side with the cowboy going to drop H-bombs on people. The only way I can tell is the racist caricature of the Vietnamese man and the sad victimized expression on the cowboy

Didn't have any clip art of an explosion, huh? quote:Google is already useless when it comes to searching controversial topics. Try typing in ‘moon landing hoax’ on Google and you’ll see page after page ridiculing those who believe it was faked and offer what seems like tangible proof that the landings occurred. Actually that sounds extremely useful.
