DJ Turbo Punch posted:So I've been reading this thread for a few years now. If you'd have asked me around the time I started following it if right wing political cartoonists would someday freely admit that it's unusually hot outside I'd have laughed in your face. What the gently caress exactly is going on? I'm downright surprised they broke from the narrative to make a slew of "LOL IT HOT" cartoons. Because they don't think they're admitting to anything being unusual, it's either "IF GLOBAL WARMING WHY SNOW" or "GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH GORGEOUS UNSEASONABLE WEATHER" and the two aren't linked at all in any way.

a) it didn't, probably, it developing from nothing is your thing, b) not until it can live on its own outside of its mother but this is more a philosophical thing than a science thing, c) lots probably because neurochemistry is complicated. Any others? Though "backing away without losing eye contact" is indeed probably the right call here.

I'm getting the distinct sense that Mac is only comfortable skewering the stodgy misogyny of old institutions because they're Scottish, and this would be a much less light-hearted and harmless cartoon if a Proper English Club were at issue. Am I being uncharitable?

The longest we've ever had in terms of political dynasty is two, and that seems to be a perfectly acceptable amount honestly. I dare you to oppose FDR on the basis that we've already had a Roosevelt president, for instance. As far as I know we've never even threatened to have a third until JEB and, well, lol.

Dueling Bandsaws posted:I'm guessing because Hillary Clinton has never been particularly subtle about her political ambitions, even by the standards of "I have a female reproductive unit and genetic spawn to prove that I, Ted Cruz, am a human being and not an eldritch horror from beyond the veil" US political campaigning. Yeah, but neither are lots of people, we don't use that kind of terminology for anyone but her. Maybe it's worth considering what kind of toxic narratives we are unwittingly and unintentionally perpetuating. Tbh I kind of like my politicians to be open about their ambitions; I voted for a mayor who is young and passionate and also transparently wants to use the mayoral office to run for governor or something one day. Which I'm ok with, it's incentive to do well.

Xander77 posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy Yep, there will always be a "political class," there has always been a political class, and even in the most anarcho-syndicalist jerkoff wet dream possible there is still a political class in the form of "the people who care the most." The idea is not to eliminate the political class but to ensure anyone driven and capable enough can become part of it without regard to irrelevant qualifications, such as money or family name.

While I'm warm to the overall point here, this is rather missing a key distinction: while the furor this round was about the banned form of weapon, the other part of it is intentionally targeting civilians. Right or wrong, it's considered okay to hit civilians accidentally or incidentally, but a war crime to hit them on purpose, which is why the beheadings are put in the same category as the gas.

Jurgan posted:I was assuming the animal was a donkey. If it's not, then that puts the cartoon in a whole new light. It's a thing where you stop giving "unanimous consent" to procedural stuff, causing literally everything in the Senate to slow to a crawl. At best it would delay an AHCA vote by about two weeks, and it runs the risk of scaring some of the GOP soft yesses into the fold; the nameless staffer is being quoted as judging that payoff not worth it.

Alhazred posted:Not to mention that it's far from certain that it was humans that killed all the animals: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/01/what-killed-great-beasts-north-america The fact remains that "Native Americans lived in perfect harmony with nature and were at peace with one another and their environment" is essentially an Orientalist view applied to a large and diverse collection of pre-Columbian societies, consigning them, their agency, and their ability to be just as destructive to their environments as anyone else with the same technological capacities to a sort of never-changing savage state of nature. It's not surprising that Marty Two Bulls clings hard to it, necessarily, because too often the alternative in mainstream discourse is even worse. (And he's an older guy and grew up when the more nuanced assessments that modern scholarship is working on producing were nowhere to be seen, and the argument was more or less between peaceful state-of-nature a la Pocahontas and the worst sort of settler-scalping-savages narrative.)

Johnny Walker posted:This isn't the only cartoon like this so I have to ask: why are Democrats supposed to be afraid of Hillary's book? Fomenting Democratic infighting profits the right, so fox and associated Gremlins have been hyping this book and the tour. Even if speaking the Name of the Unnameable One weren't actually a good way of causing Democrats to come to blows, which it sometimes is, it is worth it to them to make it seem that way. And anyone who gives two shits about this dumb thing is helping.
