batshit rightwing cartoons -- 2017 unto eschaton

What year is this, though?

it's the long 50's

I've not done a comprehensive study on this, but I'm from a Catholic background and didn't know any contemporaries who weren't already either expert f/t masturbators or naughty little clumsy fumblers by our first sex education lessons. Given by an ex Jesuit missionary who told one of us to "mind our business" when we asked him if he was still a virgin!

Strange to say, the iconography of that cartoon is exactly backwards.

where is my fuck yeah! shirt

just a meme, but clearly coming straight from garrison's base.

I don’t even get how you get from A to B there

I just wanna have the "So climate change is...good?" conversation. Like, show your work, please.

I think the vibe is more that the people who are loudest about climate change being bad only 'really' care about it as a stick to beat white people with? It's not clear to me whether China is supposed to be white here.

A remarkable display of mental gymnastics.

Not trying to defend it in any way, but you only have to look to the US Senate to find this BS being promoted.

This white paper summarizes the views of the CO2 Coalition, a new and independent, non-profit organization that seeks to engage thought leaders, policy makers, and the public in an informed, dispassionate discussion of how our planet will be affected by CO2 released from the combustion of fossil fuel. Available scientific facts have persuaded Coalition members that additional CO2 will be a net benefit. Rather than immediately setting this document aside for promoting such a politically incorrect view, readers would do well to act on the ancient motto of Britain’s prestigious Royal Society—nullius in verba, “don’t take anyone’s word for it,” or more simply, “see for yourself.” [2015]

A "new and independent non-profit" which just happens to be heavily promoted by the biggest association of rent-seeking hucksters and overpaid grifters on the planet.

Here's the Canadian version of this –

How it started: https://financialpost.com/opinion/joe-oliver-heres-a-truth-few-dare-to-utter-canada-will-benefit-from-climate-change

How it's going: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/heat-wave-719-deaths-1.6088793

Not too many mental gymnastics to get from climate change is bad to white people are bad— up until China's more recent rise, much of what has put us in the position we're in has been the result of extraction industries, industrial agriculture, and the accompanying racist hubris of Western colonial powers. Taken seriously, efforts to combat climate change are also efforts to combat the foundations upon which much of Western capitalism depends, and that means combatting white supremacy.

The cartoon is still stupid, though.

this is galaxy brain shit

LOL you're right. "I realize my metaphor makes the opposite point of what I'm trying to say, BUT... what if it didn't?" pic.twitter.com/Myr7kIA7SZ

pretty sure his brain didn’t look further than the Q there

The chinese flag atop the windmill is the kicker

I hate to admit it, but this one made me laugh. Garrison has developed self-awareness.

HAHAHA YES I TROLLED YOU EPIC WIN

wait a second, three of the gloves are right-handed and the fourth is left-handed

?!!?!?1

I look forward to him drawing Trump's fly in every future cartoon so we know his pants aren't on backwards.

SKY

if we’re really gonna go there, I think you’ll find the technical term is “camel toe”

xp

moose knuckle

Worm fold.

Worth the 12 minutes if you're curious about the unique batshittery of feu David Dees:

I think that might be the worst drawing of a hand I've ever seen

He's making the gang sign for "woke."

the odds of him getting "high" are woke

i camped by a river all weekend in rural illinois, after camping on a river the previous weekend in covid-ville, missouri, near the ozarks. i overheard many dumb things on these rivers, many violent arguments between friends and family, and a shit-ton of "woke" jokes that always seemed to come up whenever our group floated by their party

their senses of humor are the worst. that cartoon above would make them shit their pants. but hey, when you're in the river

it also didn't do any good for my attempt to keep in mind that many of the people who don't get vaccinated have lots of good reasons for it and may be easily convinced with the right resources. that is true. but on rivers in the middle of nowhere, it is fucking hateful morons, floating around and shitting on themsevles

This thread is really something

Haha coming here to post that. Oh such bad memories

there is lots of predictable flag-fucking derangement/jingoistic bloodlust but at least Giuliani being lionised as a great leader is quite hilarious!

It actually raised some very visceral memories of screaming matches with my father that occurred that autumn.

Many of those are Batshit centrist editorial cartoons. This shit was not limited to the self avowedly right wing.

Yep

who said self avowedly

Plane flying into the Pearly Gates...

ugh he finally drew cum

Feel like he drew that horse by screenshotting Sexy Flanders from The Simpsons and turning it 90 degrees.

The reaction of the great mass of US residents in the weeks immediately after 9/11 made me feel more estranged from my country than the Vietnam War did. Those cartoons were strangely moderate compared to the nation's massive and instantaneous lurch into bloodlust.

Garrison’s Heroic Horse looks just like his Virile Trump.

I think he stole his Fauci face from his RBG face

what is that symbol on the horses hooves? is it some kind of crypto thing?

I think it’s intended to be a ‘cents’ sign to imply that big pharma (with their syringe full of Dollars) is a con and people can find inexpensive alternatives.

I want a giant syringe full of money.

also a pun, horse sense/cents
