Yes?

Violent crime is down, and significantly so compared to any of the eras that Stiglich would seek to return to. The existence of a specific violent crime (or more likely freedom eagle dot patriot going on about the knockout games again) doesn't mean anything regarding the overall rates.

There should be an award category for this kind of "can't tell the difference between weather and climate" deliberate ignorance.

Boring cartoon, but man, the rant is even more :tinfoil: than usual. Chemo brain or just brainworms?
The James Webb one is a strange addition.

The whole thing is brainworm nonsense, but it could have gone either way on "Biden will use the James Webb telescope to look at children" or "James Webb telescope will change science specifically to own these people I don't like".

Unsure why the universe being larger/older than previously predicted is good for Ben either. It used to be that everyone claiming it was older than 10,000 years was an atheist Darwinist Marxist trying to reduce the human spirit to just another animal in rants that also claimed that swat teams were coming for Christians to turn everyone gay.

"2024 just started, and therefore the crime rate hasn't had a chance to happen, but the Mainstream Media is disingenuously using that information to make it seem like crime has actually decreased."
I read it as saying that long as there's at least one violent crime (which in Stiglich world probably includes Black teenagers looking at him) he thinks it's irresponsible for the media to say that violent crime is decreasing even if it is.

Being charitable, this could be because he views violent crime only on the human level (the violent criminal goes out and chooses to do violent crime for immoral reasons) rather than the analytic level (the crime rate is something that can be looked at statistically, and policy and economic factors, which are things made up by liberals to let criminals off the hook) but really that's just using too many words to say

Rall bitched about Occupy Wall Street too. I assume he wants a revolution to overthrow our capitalist oppressors, and somehow him doodling ugly cartoons is contributing to that but not protests.

You could probably find a cartoon with him whining about protests being too easy to ignore.
I think this one may even be a direct response to Rall's self-righteous attitude to Occupy.

That was…maybe not his fault. Some sites used a different format with different color data. However, given Rall knew this and could probably have done something to fix. I mean, it’s not like it happens to every cartoonist.
I recall it happened to Scott Adams once back in the 90s, the color version had it look at though the one Black guy was the idiot and the butt of the joke.

(The actual reason I still remember that is because his response was an apology and a promise to add more positive diversity rather than a 20,000 word rant about how Black people should not even look at his comic. Guy's brain really melted.)

Yeah his statement said that his work got sent off to be colored in and he didn't get to see it.

Which could just be a "racist getting caught" moment, but if so he at least cared enough about getting caught that he didn't just go "yeah I'm racist, whites should stay away from blacks, MAGA MAGA MAGA" for five pages back then.

You're forgetting that the most important thing is that Tod Roll is so controversial that he doesn't agree with anything in the mainstream.

If Stiglich can't extrapolate from "Iowa is overrepresented by white Christians" to "compared to the rest of the country, which means it may be bad if you're using Iowa to figure out what the rest of the country wants or needs, or good if you're marketing to white Christians and planning to market there" (which is true for any case, a primary, a poll, a candidate for a position, a singer) then he's stupider than I thought.

Of course he's petty and spiteful as well as stupid so he also just doesn't like the person saying it.

Yeah a lot of this would be sustainable if it were only the West eating meat with every meal and everyone else on subsistence diets.

But the growing middle class around the world doesn't agree with that setup. So the only options are to change things or try to justify the inequality.

Changing things means admitting loss of status though, and admitting that unequal status was unjustly earned, so much like the French hereditary aristocracy when overtaken by the capitalist merchant class, or the Russian aristocracy when forced to flee by the Bolsheviks, or WASPs when forced to accept a changing workplace, it's easier for them to blame the globalist elite Jews destroying whiteness or the Pope in Rome bribing Tammany Hall or the Illuminati aborting all the workers or whatever. It's all just a way of handwaving the inequality by demonizing the agents of the change.
