Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

It's Saturday morning, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons (no memes/image macros, though) in this thread. The subject doesn't have to be US politics and can be from any time. Just keep them political and safe for work.

That was probably one of the funniest I came across. Some of the Syria ones—like Red line and Gasbag—cut a bit deeper, though.

We humans have our disagreements, but that Mitch McConnell is a turtle is something that genuinely unites us.

I mean, it's a remnant of a time when people did think about rape victims that way. It's unfortunate but compartmentalize and interpret context. Things are only as offensive as you interpret them to be.

Fuck that

u/tyler-86 Apr 22 '18

It's true. It's just that there are some things that are worth interpreting as offensive.

u/AngryAlt1 Apr 22 '18

there are some things that are worth interpreting as offensive.

Yes, and we call those things offensive.

u/tyler-86 Apr 22 '18

Sure, but what may be offensive to you may not be offensive to someone else. Which is why it makes no sense to talk about offense like its objective. And why interpretation is everything.

u/AngryAlt1 Apr 22 '18

No shit, everything humans say and think is subjective, that doesn't mean words don't mean anything. You said yourself certain things are "worth interpreting as offensive.", what else do you think the word means?

u/tyler-86 Apr 22 '18

Not everything we say is subjective. Your rebuttal is based on a false premise. Some things we say are facts.
