Is this from a surviving Charlie Hebdo cartoonist?

nope, but the style is similar. he looks youngish, so he may have been influenced by them. apparently, he posted this in the courrier picard today.

Well, when you can make a game out of "SJW or stormfag" I'd say that social justice being a codeword for Nazism isn't too far off the mark.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I'm a bit hesitant to put this cartoon here but there is no better thread for it since while it's not very good it's not horrible either. The reason I'm posting it is to comment on the reaction it received.

The Helsinki area parishes publish an online magazine called Valomerkki and it had this cartoon:



"Among the first people on the scene is the immigration critic."

After the cartoon was published the cartoonist started getting death threats. So, yeah. The anti-immigration assholes are trying to silence a cartoonist by harassing and threatening him. The magazine had to remove the cartoon from its social media accounts because it was too difficult to moderate the discussion. The editor refused to remove the cartoon from the site itself, though, explaining that that he himself has a critical opinion about the cartoon but he is not going to limit anyone's freedom of expression.

Okay, the "immigration critic" is lapping up the blood in frenzied "I told you so!" glee, right? That's dark, man. The worst of them are callous and blood thirsty, yup.

Even before all the bodies had been recovered these immigration critics* really were writing in their blogs, twitters, FB and articles (if they manage to get them published) and proudly saying "I TOLD YOU SO!? DIDN'T I WARN YOU THIS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU LET THE TOWELHEADS INFEST EUROPE!!?!?!?!!?"

So this comic is quite truthful. And so far the only defense I've seen from "critics" for their actions is "...But we have been saying that this would happen? Why on Earth would gloating be wrong?" and then they bring up a comic showing people dancing on the graves of Breivik's victims and singing about how all Christians and white men are evil. (Though as far as I know that did not happen.)


* I wish to explain this term. Few years ago when a certain doctor and current politician started complaining about immigrants he wanted to make sure that people don't shut him down just by calling him a racist. Therefore he invented the term "immigration critic" to make it look like he was merely critical of the way immigration is handled. Unlike the most people who complained about immigrants he had a way with words and knew how to exploit graphs and statistics. He did gain a large following and some of the criticism that he and the others have made has a point AND some of the immigration critics weren't even racists. ...But mainly it's just a word used by racists who don't want to be called racists.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Dammit, part of it was missing.

You need context for Bill'O the Clown getting skewered on the Daily Show?
