I feel like it undermines his point somewhat that he spent four years drawing Trump as Literally Hitler and slamming liberals for treating him like a normal politician instead of an existential threat.

Like, which is it

"You can't just disqualify Hitler from the ballot just because he instigated a coup."

The stance I took in high school on the leadup to the Iraq War, namely that maybe we shouldn't go in hot in a country we seem to be the only ones finding WMDs in, was very unpopular. I assure you nobody there learned a drat thing.

The stance I took on the lead up the Afghanistan war was that maybe we shouldn't invade a country that has the nickname "Graveyard of Empires".

If you read articles about the EVs in recent cold weather, it’s mostly Americans being new to the technology and not taking steps to prepare for the weather. Other, colder countries have higher adoption rates for EVs and aren’t haven’t problems like this.

I think it's pretty clearly because SCOTUS going 7-2 conservative in the next four years or Trump placing another 200 chuds in the Judiciary is going to lock in the new reproductive rights rollback far more than four more years of Biden (or virtually any other non-Republican) would.

Biden could and should make it a law that women should have the right to abortion. Women shouldn't depend on the whims of the supreme court. But he won't do that and women in the US won't have a right to decide over their own body regardless if Trump or Biden is president.

I think this is the second time now we've come dangerously close to "Hitler wasn't actually all that bad, it's just the Jews made him out to be evil". (There's a figleaf here where you can just say "oh, no, Hitler is terrible, but they're unjustly depicting this random hobbit (probably Frodo) as him".) Also, I guess, orc newscasters just look like slightly weird humans instead of... you know, orcs?

So I guess that leaves Tatsuya the Sinfest Guy? He really does have a pleasant if simple style that he could've leveraged for something real if he hadn't decided to become a literal nazi. Like, at least a semi-popular webcomic, if not actually professional stuff with some more practice and polish.

And that's the greatest irony of all. He did have a semi-popular webcomic (it even got translated and published in Norway) with fun and cartoony art. And as his opinions got worse, so did his art and it's now dull and lifeless.

Oooh, this loving cartoon. I work in the norwegian equivalent of pre-school and a couple of points:
Free pre-school is a loving excellent idea and is something Norway is trying out now in parts of the country.
Pre-school is not just about glitter and glue (although it is that too), it's about laying the foundation for a good childhood. I work with language, social skills and motor skills. I even work on fundamental democratic skill as kids in pre-school has a right to be heard and influence.
I know that McCoy won't like this but I also work on diversity by making sure that everyone, regardless of gender, religion or ethnicity, is acknowledge for who they are. Like i have a bunch of stuff that I am bound by law to teach to kids in pre-school and folks like McCoy who thinks that pre-school is a box you put kids while you work piss me of.

Anyway, have a cartoon who has become somewhat controversial in my country:

The one thing I'll give him is that part of it is correlation and not causation, as in parents from certain segments of society are much more likely to send their children to preschool, and that's one of the biggest reasons that it's associated with positive outcomes. Any study that investigates its effects would have to control for that.

93,4% percent of all norwegian kids in the ages of 1-5 goes to preschool. You don't have to give McCoy poo poo.

For a McCoy, this one's charming in a boomer way. Those parents are so stoked that they tricked their son into cleaning his room.

Oh, right, he reposted this cartoon right after, because clearly it's the perfidious United States behind the bombing along with the Ukrainians (who are all nazis). This is definitely a very sane and well-justified point of view to hold currently. Lest you think I might be assuming too much from him reposting this cartoon, he added the following text:

Remember that this is the cartoon he posted on october 7th:

Okay, now I'm really curious what makes a sex toy kosher or not. I'm not aware of any vibrators made from pork or shrimp. Does it have to be blessed by a rabbi or something?

Toblerone is halal, even though they never contained any pork or gelatin. They basically had an imam over to say "yup, no pigs here." I'm guessing that's what they did in the sex shop too.

The woman is the leader of the norwegian political party Rødt (Red). Rødt is a socialist party that has gone from a fringe party to getting members voted into parliament. But their youth organization may hinder their success as it is a much more radical origanization, they elected an openly communist leader, they won't condemn the 7th october attack by Hamas and they are against shipping weapons to Ukraine.
