I know it's Rall's MO to produce reams and reams of contradictory bullshit because *insert smartypants media studies term* but it never ceases to amaze me how loving obvious it is if you even take the slightest second to think about it. He just yesterday posted something pro-abortion and now he's doing "abloobloo b-but what about teh poor fetuses". Put some effort in, Todd, come on.

But what about the man's right to be able to force their partner to carry a baby they don't want? Also won't someone please think of the poor oppressed TERFs?

He's mentioned trans people before offhand but this does feel like the most openly transphobic he's been so far. Woke pronouns? I know calling him a boomer will make ted "being gen x is my entire identity" rall particularly mad, so, ok boomer

Indiana_Krom posted:Not really? As this day has demonstrated, this could run every couple of days in America with a some slight adjustment of the tucker carlson panels at most and it will remain relevant basically indefinitely. Republicans have already denounced any calls for gun control over this latest shooting. Yes, exactly that. Another school shooting happened in the window between this cartoon being published and it being posted to this thread, and the same exact talking points have already been made again. We all knew that would happen, but it is still upsetting. Space Cadet Omoly posted:What the Hell is the point being made here? No seriously, is it about being anti-choice, or anti-vax, or what? Why is JK Rolling involved? Why is there a gun in the last panel!? It's about being pro-GOP/Trump/Russia, but pretending it's coming from the left. Any attempt at trying to divine a deeper meaning is giving Rall too much credit.

With the reactions of right wingers to pronouns I'm fully hoping that one of the wilder ones turns out to make these assholes cringe in physical pain. I'll be walking the streets just throwing out 'Hir' or 'Mx.' And watching people's heads explode.

Why is there a gun in the last panel!? It’s the fishhook being baited- it starts with anger at the libs, and then tries to leverage it toward cultural cleavage points that affect a portion of leftists who can be wedged on social conflict issues. If the libs are doing it, it must be bad…and so the nominal leftist seeks common cause with the right. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 13:41 on May 25, 2022 |

The panel in Rall's cartoon I'm most confused by is the "gently caress the unions" one. Like it's not unknown for some of the grosser leftists to be misogynistic or bigots but if you're for the big megacorp against unions then what the hell is your definition of "left".

Any Clinton president would clearly be their own evil, just like AOC would probably take over as the antichrist if she became president. It would be nice if some traditionalist cartoonist reminded the public that Joe Biden is carrying out Harry S Truman's agenda and must be stopped.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:This is one of those things that people say because they think it makes them sound smart. They're wrong. Well, no, it's accurate. All languages are made up, they're just arbitrary sounds that humans assigned to objects and ideas over time and by agreeing what sounds correspond to which thing we're able to communicate complex ideas quickly as a species. There's no innate reason for a "dog" to be a "dog", and in other places it isn't a "dog" at all it's "perro" or "chien" or "inu". However, if enough people all agree to think of the same thing when they each say "dog" then they're able to communicate and understand the idea of a "dog" immediately without having to come up with a way to describe it every time they want to talk about it.

Which one is named Bouba and which one is named Kiki? Since we're on the English-speaking internet, most people will probably think the spiky figure on the left is Kiki and the rounded one on the right is Bouba, and this is true across a lot of languages and cultures.

All languages are made up, they're just arbitrary sounds that humans assigned to objects and ideas over time and by agreeing what sounds correspond to which thing we're able to communicate complex ideas quickly as a species. It's accurate in a dumb way though. The point of a language is that you have a community agreeing what stuff means, which means that new words have to be accepted by the speech community before they're meaningful, or real so to speak. Calling pronouns fake is just perfectly cromulent shorthand for then not being recognized by the (general Anglo) speech community. Compare to currency, which is equally made up. I can't just make up a new currency and expect to be able to buy bread with it, at least until you get enough idiots to join on it. As for pronouns, I still believe that the right solution is to just abandon he/him/his entirely and only use she/her for everyone regardless of gender. But that's never gonna get accepted.
