Stantis sees this as the pinnacle of good governance. Ah, it's a "Why can't we go back to a time when everyone publicly hated Muslims" cartoon. I have to admit it was more than a little confusing. But that makes sense as Stantis is nearly* constantly at pains to obscure his bigotry. *Remember last year, when he said what he really thought once, and it got nominated for worst cartoon multiple times? I literally don't remember what that comic was about, but I do remember that it was horrifying.

The Islamic Shock posted:The stance I took in high school on the leadup to the Iraq War, namely that maybe we shouldn't go in hot in a country we seem to be the only ones finding WMDs in, was very unpopular. I assure you nobody there learned a drat thing. The stance I took on the lead up the Afghanistan war was that maybe we shouldn't invade a country that has the nickname "Graveyard of Empires".

But that makes sense as Stantis is nearly* constantly at pains to obscure his bigotry. Nah, when Stantis wants to hate on Muslims, he mentions the Desert Hamsters who are all off-screen, but being very terroristic. Stantis has one desire above all overs, and that's for the return of the dogwhistle. He fervently hopes and prays for the days where Republicans talk about "those people" needing to learn manners and stop listening to rap music and pull their pants up instead of outright saying African Americans. For the days where a right-wing commentator can say "I never said black people, you said black people. Perhaps you are the real racist" and everybody would just pretend that the right-wing commentator had a point. He's 100% on board with everything republicans do, as long as he can't be directly called out for supporting it. Give him a euphemism to hide behind, and he'd be perfectly content.

Stantis is a person who just realized the Republicans are ghoulish assholes and is in denial that he too is a ghoulish rear end in a top hat. Like he did a whole cartoon on his remorse for backing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but then turns around and keeps on voting for the same ghoulish assholes. So in his strips he blames decorum or says nothing at all because then he has to admit being a Republican and therefore a ghoulish rear end in a top hat.

Kirschen wants Netanyahu replated when the Palestinians are dead (because he doesn't believe Israel is safe while they aren't). He wants him to stay right there until the job is done, then buzz off so when Israel is accused of war crimes, he can go 'But that was Netanyahu, and he doesn't have any power anymore! We voluntarily got rid of him!'.

Just observing that he might be the world leader currently in power who is least popular among his own people.

I think Kirschen loves Netanyahu and what he's doing and saying things like this is strictly so that he sounds more reasonable. He's not even saying 'Netanyahu must go'. Just that 'we need more new leaders'. And who better to mentor (sorry, 'empower') them?

Kirschen doesn't support Netanyahu because he's not extreme enough! Kirschen will not rest until every man, woman, child, and animal of Palestine is dead and their blood will paint the walls of the new Israeli government! (There was an edit/parody of Kirschen that I saw years ago, but I can't find it) EDIT: Never mind, found it

It's fun to remember that Kirschen hated this comic and threatened legal action against whoever made it. Which of course went nowhere since he had no legal leg to stand on.
