He's a right-wing grifter 'citizen journalist' who chased his tail across various online far-right subcultures, from manosphere poo poo to anti-vax and Covid stuff. He moved to Ukraine in 2010. During the Russian invasion, he was repeatedly arrested for spreading material justifying the Russian invasion. He was basically a complete nobody until Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson started throwing his name around as a heroic dissenting journalist standing up against the evil Ukrainian regime. His journalism credentials consist of 'having a blog' and 'having a YouTube channel'.

It is amusing when Garrison makes a cartoon that's supposed to be lionizing a Brave Patriot Warrior and it's someone you've never loving heard of if your primary news source isn't American Eagle Patriot News dot Biz. It happened quite a few times during the Obamagate days.

As for what happened, nobody really knows yet. As far as is known, he is dead and he was in a Ukrainian prison; there's a handwritten note circulating around in which he alleges that other prisoners were beating him up and the authorities weren't taking his illness seriously. So it's possible he was mistreated (which would be really bad, even if he was a chud), but there isn't strong evidence for it yet, which isn't stopping the usual suspects like Garrison from saying that Zelensky personally tortured him to death for fun.

Fun fact: Germany justified its bombing of population centres during the invasion of Poland by claiming that the existence of medieval fortifications made them valid military targets.

Theres not a lot confrimed, but from what I've heard from people with Ukrainian security contacts- He was in Ukraine spreading pro Russian material War happens, he shifts to providing information to Russia He's arrested, immediately flips on his Russian comtacts, and in exchange is escorted out of the country via Poland ... then he came back, kept doing it, got arrested again but released. They kept his passport and told him to do nothing while they investigate, and they'd be back Then this happened, which is what put him on the conservative anti-Ukraine pundit radar https://twitter.com/GonzaloLira1968/status/1686140929277579271?t=4HIfIOh4ld2E0zc7I095Ug&s=19 He made it to the border and was arrested again. Bonus material- the reason he was in Ukraine originally? He was a 'pickup artist' and Ukraine was seen as the best place to pickup women due to how hosed the economy was. A true hero.

Someone on Sinfest Reddit did the math, and 2023 was in like 47 strips until her death. Seventeen of those were in December. And this all strips she just appeared in, not necessarily a speaking role. So when she’s a literal baby, when she was temporarily the Evil Pimp’s goth stripper, and so on. For the cherry on top, we’re already later in January ‘24 than when 2023 made her first appearance.

Branco is just mad because Minnesota is changing its flag, and like all conservatives he hates any and all change. They held a contest to replace the old and hideous flag (just the state seal on a blue field) and voted on the new design. Look at this, it's a beautiful flag.  Being conservative means hating any change for the better, no matter how big or small

It is insane how conservatives are still mad that a teenager had the gall to call them out for burning the planet to make another buck. Like five years later and they are still doing ugly cartoons about her. Guess I can’t be surprised considering when another teenager called them out on school shootings they photoshopped him as a girl and got uh…incredibly weird.

branco's right flags are the #1 source of history information available. i would say he doesn't go far enough. all state flags need to be a comprehensive comic book retelling of the entire history of the state. you might say "no a child can't draw that" yes they can we just have to keep them in after school for a couple of years while they memorise all the line art

Vib Rib posted:MLK was in favor of far more wide-reaching affirmative action programs than America has ever implemented. Does anyone have that comic about MLK where they basically just do a rush job on his life and ignore everything he did except that one quote: "MLK was born. Then he had a dream - 'People should be judged by their character, so quit playing the race card!' - And then he didn't do or say anything else until he died. The end."
