batshit rightwing cartoons -- 2017 unto eschaton

god this one is so good

its true, you don't see a lot of kids these day's

At first look I thought that this cartoon was making quite an interesting point about the concept of a 'counterculture' and how its co-opting by mainstream culture reflects on not just the absorbing / consuming nature of capitalism but on flaws in the concept of subversion itself as an alternative to actually addressing the disparities in society. Then on second look I realised I had slightly misunderstood the artist's intentions.

your read is better

amongst many many many other reasons the look posited in the picture as 1980 was, by 1980, already a commodified lamestream take on a point missed 5 years previously

to be "counter"cultural is always to perform participation in a subculture that has already been assimilated by hegemonic powers

mainly i'm just happy to learn that i've accidentally joined the counterculture by owning shorts, procreating and remaining white

it's confusing b/c 1980 guy looks to be about thirty years older than 2018 guy

that's what the using the 'phet and doing some hard counterculturing does to your looks!

it must be tough work always having to flip the bird whenever you get into someone's field of vision!

is he flicking off his eyebrow artist for not finishing the job on his one blue eyebrow

So apparently Tina Toon is Garrison’s wife...

that does not sound like a real name, or a real person

Not sure if this is the place for it or the alt-right thread, but military action (especially in Syria) seems to be a bit of a line in the sand for many otherwise diehard Trump supporters. Look at Garrison's latest cartoon for example

On /r/The_Donald meanwhile, the usual tone of Trump cheerleading has been replaced by a list of Trump tweets with the occasional generic maga meme.

Now, how much of this is down to genuine disillusionment and how much down to everyone being Russian bots in the first place I can't say. But it's an interesting bit of data at least.

When you’ve lost Alex Jones...

ok this is kinda gross

i... actually kinda like that one?

Yeah I gotta say that's pretty good

This thread always pisses me off, I love it

its remarkably straightforward for a Ben Garrison cartoon so I guess that's a plus

Nice that he’s able to provide an explicatory essay with each toon

The free speech of conservatives has become a stinking sinkhole due to the intrinsically toxic nature of modern republican thought. A good cartoon.

I'll say this of garrison: he gets plumbing.

"I talked with an elderly woman the other day and she mentioned Walter Cronkite and what a great anchorman he was. It was my sad duty to inform her that he was a far-left globalist who prided himself as being at the right hand of Satan."

holy shit, I thought you were writing as Garrison, not c&p'ing

In John McNaughton’s newest painting, Trump teaches a college student with a “Justice Warrior” textbook how to fish. pic.twitter.com/iwTWDKCc55

That's amazing. I had to sell my Justice Warrior textbooks to make rent, which I regret.

Oh boy

trump doesn't like fishing because he believes it hurts the fish (which it does)

that drawing of kanye is uncanny

I thought it was more unkanye.

^^ lol

admirable restraint shown on the nose, good work Ben

even for Ben Garrison "DEAD LIVES MATTER" is some next level shit

I still don't think he's serious.

lol wow.

is that George Michael?

What's worse than ♪♪FREE STUFF♪♪?

GAY ♪♪FREE STUFF♪♪!

I have to give Garrison a little bit of credit- his caricature is usually so abysmal that he has to label everyone. That's recognizably Bernie, so uh, good job Ben?
