A significant proportion of Ontario's teachers are now in a legal strike position but have not yet gone on strike because the government always wins the optics of a teacher strike. Our supposedly progressive government is trying to bait them into striking so that they lose the PR battle and the government can impose a worse contract on them afterwards.



Canada's Texas just elected a social democratic party to a majority government. In other news, Hell has frozen over.

A Certified Jerk


Somebody just shared this quote from Chairman Mao:

quote:

We stand for active ideological struggle because it is the weapon for ensuring unity within the Party and the revolutionary organizations in the interest of our fight. Every Communist and revolutionary should take up this weapon.

But liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration in certain units and individuals in the Party and the revolutionary organizations.
[...]
Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution.

...yeah, sounds like a liberal hero :v:

e: sorry should probably have more than just an emoticon, but that was my immediate reaction. A meticulously detailed, lovingly rendered drawing of a couple of feet and a ball with a label on it, in a cartoon utterly devoid of wit and without anything of value to say except for a trite decades-old criticism of the "welfare state". Can there any better synopsis of the Michael Ramirez oeuvre?

On the other hand, I live in Kansas. How am I supposed to get my federally mandated welfare dinners of lobster and shrimp in the woods? Your move, Ramirez!

Sooo. . .I was browsing Imgur because I have nothing better to do and I like the cute animals they post. This had apparently made its way to the front page a previous day, and I hadn't remembered seeing it here. Either way it's a terrible horrible racist cartoon by an artist I do not recognize.



I don't know if that TIMG would be enough, so if anyone requests I'll put it behind a link. It's got a lot of gross racism and pretty much is a 'Those feral urban thugs are coming for us whites!'

Even better, he used that exact same panel in a previous strip not too long ago.

The situation with Anatoly's and Naomi's employment/commute situation is just so loving bizarre. Muir is literally just like some little kid pulling random numbers and poo poo out of his rear end. Mostly poo poo.

I'm not super surprised this was on Imgur. With its connection to reddit, it's a mix of animal pictures, reposts, and racist/anti-feminist stuff.

Judging by the list of past honorees on the Pulitzer folks' site, they gave it for individual cartoons up until the 60s, and then gradually changed to "body of work" in the 70s.
