Remember when..
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 11/12/2023 - 12:47pm
we cared about babies in incubators being killed?
we cared about the deliberate killing of wounded civilians?
we cared about leading politicians being holocaust deniers?
we cared about ethnic cleansing?
All that ended 5 weeks ago.

Great insight!
That was then. This is now. Only crazy people and Russian assets find anything amiss about these honking inconsistencies.
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
This seems apropos.
Phil Ochs / Joan Baez: ♫
How bizarrely Disneyesque

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
Artist Tatsuya Ishida has a very dark view of US&Western politix
The “Gaza” series of strips starts here:

Uhh...
I mean, I know the region has a longstanding reputation for weird weather, but....
EDIT: LOL love the final panel and the PedoBear reference.
EDITEDIT: Mind telling me a bit of background over this author/artist?
I was skimming the old posts when I saw this curveball:
This...comes as a surprise. Is it a joke? Where is this person coming from?

TV Tropes has as good an exposition of Mr. Ishida’s path as any:

Off the top of my head:
Quadrant 1: Pro-woke, pro-Gaza
— e.g. a typical college-student activist for Palestine
Quadrant 2: Pro-woke, anti-Gaza
— mainstream U.S. progressives / PMC (professional-managerial class)
Quadrant 3: Anti-woke, pro-Gaza
— smattering of libertarians and “old school” anti-imperialist left
=> comic artist Tatsuya Ishida <=
Quadrant 4: Anti-woke, anti-Gaza
— mainstream conservatives and even further right
In the last few years I myself have also drifted more and more towards Quadrant 3, being opposed both to censorship (including cancelling and de-platforming) and to indoctrination of the young (including encouragement of irreversible surgical procedures). I also still believe in objectivity as a desirable aim, an idea increasingly deprecated as illusory and somehow inherently racist.
To those who promote this claim...
...one must first simply ask, 'HOW?'
The Civil rights movement is a DIRECT DESCENDANT of the Enlightenment; Wokies are claiming to be champions of the former yet would annihilate the latter; that is impossible.
Further, their whole stratagem DEPENDS on those they defeat being what they say they should not be; honest-to-god racists will be wholly immune to their crapola, and will gladly exterminate them if given the chance.
Wokism is a cancer in the truest (abstract) sense of the word.
I'm looking forward to the Napoleon biopic coming out soon, among other reasons because a Napoleon (a true Napoleon, not the century of horrible wannabes he inspired) is exactly what we need right now: Genuine Enlightenment values backed by force of arms and competent, beneficent administration, that's not dysfunctional enough to be moral ju-jitsu'd into willing self-destruction.

From the National Museum of African American History and Culture
(NMAAHC) — part of the Smithsonian — an infographic titled “White Culture in the United States”:

Richard Spenser was right
Someone should talk the local KKK into taking a massive field-trip to that museum and talking about how much they love it, like that one South Park episode.
Now please do me a favor and stop harping on this; it's not good for either of us. I already covered this above, basically, no need for more.
Please. You have no idea how badly this gets under my skin after the last few years on DKos.
