This is fun because the Online Left genuinely does seem to have an imbalance there, but Tinsley being Tinsley he thinks any amount of the latter is unacceptable. "I was happy until you made this problem affect me, you selfish thugs!!!!!"

It doesn't even make sense. "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" is a quote about the role of newspapers and, I guess by extension, journalism in general. Not protesters or whatever else.

Enver Hoxha propaganda compilation

First thing first - who? The communist leader of Albania for about 40 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enver_Hoxha

He started out as a partisan (guerrilla warfare) leader during the German occupation with the help of the USSR (Enver met Stalin a number of times to plot things out) Albania ended WWII free of the Germans, monarchists, capitalists, or intervention by Western powers.

Enver believed the Allies were plotting to divide Albania between neighboring nations, and that Stalin was the only reason an independent Albania (with Enver in the lead) came to exist.

So when Khrushchev denounced Stalin, Enver cut of ties to the Soviet union, allying with China instead. That worked for a while, but then China started orienting itself towards the West and capitalism as well. Besides, Enver's habit of continually purging "disloyal" elements in trues Stalinist fashion grew kinda boring. So 1930's, you know. We're in the 60's Enver, get with the times!

By the late 1970's, Albania basically ran out of friends, trading partners and even countries that would merely tolerate it. It defaulted on its loans, and the economy was in a tailspin. Albania was (by most measures) the poorest country in Europe.

Meanwhile, Enver was spending whatever money there was left on bunkers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkers_in_Albania Every town hill, vale, crossroads, farmhouse, warehouse, doghouse and outhouse in Albania had a bunker dug near it, so that the Albanian people could defend themselves from the inevitable invasion by... everyone. Enver genuinely assumed that pretty much every country in Europe was getting ready to invade Albania the very moment he falters.

Enver used his last years for another round of purges, getting rid of comrades who ruled alongside him for 40 odd years, and anyone trying to get Albania to actually stop being the most isolated and poor country in Europe.

Enver died of natural causes in 1985. The bunkers make for great tourist spots and places for teenage couples to make love.

Not a Latuff fan (to say the least) but in this case the analogy is fairly exact.

It's somewhat not. Israel, for all it's faults and lovely behaviour, has a large contingent of leftists. Israel is also trapped in a siege mentality from decades spent fighting similar people who were trying to wipe it off the map. Finally, zionist ideology, for all its 19th century-inspired imperialist bullshit, isn't intent on wiping out entire categories of human beings (but yes, Bibi did make those ethnic cleansing claims and yeah, he should be in loving prison).

Coal is going to be phased out and the longer you wait the more painful the process is going to be. Not that I understand why people keep defending the coal industry, the miners die because the owners doesn't give a gently caress about them and the coal itself pollutes the planet.

Good thing that the cartoon doesn't (explicitly) equate the entire state of Israel with Nazis? I mean, you can find Latuff cartoons that do that, but in this case the most reasonable interpretation is that the comparison is specifically between attitudes towards hate groups.

Even if mainstream American politicians agreed that Israel = Nazis, it would still be dumb to expect them to pay an equal amount of attention to Israeli Nazis and American Nazis.

Nazis are clamoring for violence and genocide. One of their own acts on their rhetoric and murders a woman. All the nazis are uncomfortable at this and protest their innocence.

Okay so they're not deciding which of them has to die in a false flag antifa attack to regain the moral equivalence of violence on both sides then?
