Best Political Cartoons

[Ultimate Paragon]

Once again we see UP's own agenda trying to take sway.

Well, if opposing authoritarian, thin-skinned liars is wrong, I don't want to be right.

How is that in "Best"?

Because Chairwoman Pao is censoring anything critical of her.

I will just preface this by saying I am in fact 17 years old, I am white, and I do live in America. Do I think my problems are worse than that of the people in Ethiopia? Yes, yes I do. I can explain to you in detail. I am being banned constantly. They watch what I do, they read my private messages, and they probably snicker at the things I type, and you act like you know oppression? Those Ethiopians get hurt, sure, but the time is going to come when the reddit admins are going to ban any subreddit for disagreeing with them. Where men and women will not have their say any where. And for now, we have to pay gold for people to access their funny cat pictures (sheeple scum) who won't do any subreddit activism and will only get a cheap laugh, even go1dfish would find this shit unbelievable. You act smug to people like me, but you don't even know the half of it.

Getting banned from Reddit isn't at all on the same level as systematic human rights violations, sorry.

If I wanted free speech I would host my own website.

Of course not.  And I'm not claiming it is.  But here's the thing: Reddit was founded on free speech.  These attempts to "clean it up" are making Aaron Swartz spin in his grave.

By the way, if the Reddit admins say they're banning actions, not ideas, they're fucking lying.

That wasn't fallacy, that was me mocking you for losing proportion of something.

sorry, mocking someone for losing proportion of something minor. I mean what's next, are we gonna see pictures of Ellen Pao as a nazi about to shoot snoo?

It's hyperbole, of course, but who hasn't exaggerated their problems?

You actually have no right to free speech on the internet.  You're at the mercy of whoever owns the place you're soapboxing on.

Ironbite-something you should learn.

[RavynousHunter]

Meh, just because I'm at an admin's mercy doesn't mean I'll cower.  I'll respect their position and authority, but only if they earn said respect.  Sigma has earned that respect.  Others, not so much...some have even earned outright antipathy for basically throwing people who didn't suck their e-cocks under the bus.  However, if I get smacked for being an asshole, I'll not go "MUH FREEDOMS."  If I was in the wrong, I'll admit I'm wrong and endeavor to not be wrong again.  If I wasn't, well, then respect diminished.

[Sigmaleph]

I love you to, Ravy :)

[RavynousHunter]

I love you to, Ravy

Ey, at least you don't go around letting blatant trolls keep posting because they donated to the site.  Yes, that is a thing that actually happened to me.

[RavynousHunter]

What a horrible world we live in; where police are actually scrutinized for their actions and held to a professional standard of conduct.  Truly, this is the great tragedy of my generation.

I love it! He's not perfect but I like this Pope.

The Frums who hate compassion no heart.

They'll call others "bleeding hearts" as a pejorative.

"Bleeding Heart" should be a compliment. Better a heart of blood than a heart of stone.

[guizonde]

Better a heart of blood than a heart of stone.

dammit spuki, that's an awesome saying. wish i'd thought of it.

Thanks...but I think I heard it somewhere else. It's a great retort regardless. Why feel insulted by being called a "Bleeding Heart/Lefty/Hippie/Granola Girl/Treehugger/Socialist etc."? Those things should be EMBRACED!
