Santa is Canadian. His postal code is H0H 0H0.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Canada doesn't have the ACA. In fact, that means Santa doesn't have to give medical benefits at all, because Canada uses a single-payer system.

The political cartoon lied to us!

To be fair, Trump just going quiet for a day would be legitimately surprising.

So, this guy is opposed to Communists who interpret the manifesto in a way that doesn't help anybody, and supports Communists who help the needy and try to build a better world.

I guess the thing you didn't like is the craptastic art?

It's a straw man of anarchist/libertarian socialists created by ML Stalin apologists, how could I not put it here?

It boils down to:
average revisionist swine: Durr!! Durr!!
Me: That makes no sens.e Please be reasonable and not post the most reactionary shit.

Then, yeah, it's pretty awful. I can't even recognize who it's a straw man of!

It should have ended with the guy on the right telling Mr. Mustache to eat his facial hair.

I don't quite get all the references but I interpreted this is "anti-SJW" rather than "anti-Communism/Socialism/etc." (Mustache is a douchey 'SJW' with a Stalin-stache while the guy on the right is the reasonable, 'SJ' one who 'gets it' and wants to help people). Is the reader supposed to root for Annoying Mustache?

Doesn't the "PBR" can mean that he drinks some weird hipster beer? Because the only times I've heard P(something) Blue Ribbon beer mentioned in American media or comics is when they are making fun of hipsters and the beer brand is seen as a clear sign that the person drinking it is a annoying hipster.

(I don't know if it is actually good beer or not.)

Also he literally says that the other person  "should have known about [communism] before it was cool, like me."

Anyway, the dude on the left makes a bad strawman whether he is supposed to stand for Reddit-communists or hipsters or whatever.
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!

Pabst Blue Ribbon is the hipster beer here, aye.  From what I've heard, its low-quality pisswasser in the same vein as Budweiser and Busch, even by the admittedly low standards of beer, so the only people who drink it are either those who can't afford anything better or are enjoying it "ironically."
