It really is impressive how the Telegraph always manages to piss me off in this specific way. It is always vapid; nothing that passes for commentary. It isn't satirical, it is not saying anything more complex than "I don't like this and you shouldn't either".

I think I've made this same loving comment before in this thread because I just hate this so much. gently caress this cartoon.

I think this is happening as only the state can afford to fix up the older nuclear power plants. Not all that clear about the context.
Renationalization of EDF (Power company)
Borne will save France!

Standard racket of privatising profits and socialising losses, though EDF was already majority state owned.

The problem afaik is that EDF has a massive electricity deficit due to offline nuclear reactors so it has to buy electricity at market rates to cover its customers. It has a massive deficit because it basically only does nuclear, but barely anybody manages to build new reactors on time and on budget. The economics are majorly hosed, so the company is in serious financial trouble. But it can't fail, because it is critically important to France.

Basically, policy failures of the last few decades coming to gently caress them, hard.

And it goes right back to what I've said before about how these idiots are convinced that mass shootings will follow videogame rules.
Bok and Lester, you have a literal red devil and a guy clearly labeled as Crazy Person. There is no ambiguity about who the Bad and Good guys with guns are. If the cops rolled up in this fantasy world of theirs, once all the heat died down and it was safe for the cops to be within a mile of the area, they would automatically know who the good guys and bad guys were from a cursory glance.

In their conception, the Bad Guys do look starkly different from them. It's very black and white thinking.

Pretty sure the Bill Gates skeleton indicates that educated elites and all other "New People" should be exterminated.

A lot of Covid deniers think Bill Gates is a Jew, especially the kind of people who believe in The Great Reset. It's very popular in Qanon circles, where you also find other Greatest Hits of Antisemitism, like Blood Libel. You can tell the author is in that milieu.

I seriously hate the Telegraph cartoons, and this one is a good example why.

A good political cartoon has something to say. It engages with a topic and the author tries to make a point about something. It might be witty, or just a scathing takedown. It might reference other topics to draw parallels. There may be metaphor involved.

The Telegraph cartoons never critically engage with anything. They are anti-intellectual cartoons. There is no wit, no analysis, not even a real point being made beyond "thing bad" in the most blunt way possible.

And in this case, the Telegraph uncritically copies Russia's propaganda. A cartoonist who wasn't an incurious hack would've made sure not to copy the Russian framing, but the Telegraph is a fundamentally incurious publication, and so it can't.

It's really impressive how stubbornly wrong the Telegraph cartoon is every time. It's so consistently awful in this extremely specific way, saying nothing useful or interesting, committed to a world view that is so gormless, it beggars belief.

With a lot of the US cartoons I get the impression that there's just a hateful bigot making them and playing dumb, but the impression I get from the Telegraph is that the author is genuinely too stupid to understand anything.

e: And my displeasure of the Telegraph cartoon is seriously affecting my ability to express myself in English. Next time I'll be reduced to ranting in German instead.
