Crazy-long comic ahoy:

http://www.plasticbrickautomaton.com/comics/101.jpg

You might treat this like an exaggerated strawman, but this is almost a spot-on description of certain less savory parts of the social justice movement. *cough*tumblr*cough*

I have seen plenty of people make those exact arguments with a straight face.

Every single one? Anyways, the comic was posted on the Mensright subreddit. So... There were a couple of others buuuuuut. They were too graphic. That was the tamest one I foun.

Let's just say there's a reason I'm considering merging the best and worst political cartoons threads again.

They're saying that Natives who protests appropriation of their culture are just "jealous". They're also denigrating their social condition (which is ironic since the ancestors of the poster makers are probably responsible for that.)

.................................................fucking hell.

Ironbite-that's too much stupid too early in the morning.

So Obama is Ron Paul's father or something?

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

Yeah, it would be embarrassing if that was on "best"
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Definitely not racist at all... </sarcasm>

P.S. Obama's not a fucking communist, either.

Follow some choice blogs on tumblr I take it? :P

But yeah... I saw it and knew I had to post it. Also what is with Obama's head?

It kind of reminds me of the stereotypical bong. I'd have thought it was essentially saying "Are you fucking high?" re: Obama's policies, if this guy had any sense of subtlety. But nope, probably just another bad artist at work.

Occam's Razor at work. :) But I don't get why so many artists draw his head like that. It makes no sense.

Z0mg guize! Romney is a communist!

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/224371-romney-campaign-claims-auto-bailout-was-his-idea

Huh. Should've called that one in February.

Actually, when you look at Romney's campaign, you find:

1. you can determine Romney's policy on an issue at a given moment, or how the policy is changing, but not both at the same time.
2. the probability of Romney having a position is never quite 100%, but never 0% either.
3. when Obama adopts a certain policy position, Romney, without having to communicate or interact, will adopt the exact opposite policy position.
4. sometimes a pair of Romney policies appear, cancel each other out, and disappear again.
5. it is impossible to accurately reason whether Romney is for or against a given issue until you have observed his statements on the matter; until then, you must assume that he is both for and against the issue.

It's not communism. It's not even capitalism. It might not be something that classic political science understands.
