Found this while searching for the name of the guy who drew the “amerikkka public schools are Marxist” cartoon.

Dude just can’t help but make Xi look cool xi Emoji material?

    I’d want to clarify that I didn’t post this cartoon because it was a good dunk on Biden (it’s in the dunk tank, after all), but to make fun of a boomer chud making an anti-Biden cartoon that serves more as a way to make Xi look good. I honestly didn’t even notice the piss on the ground, but of course a boomer chud cartoon is going to do a childish insult like that. I don’t think making fun on incontinence is funny.

      It’s all good.

      Like I said, I don’t want to turn this into a struggle session and I honestly didn’t assume any malice whatsoever on your behalf in this post.

      I’m just relatively privileged, especially with regards to the stuff I discussed above, and I’m using that position to do a bit of awareness raising so we can all improve our collective skills with critical media engagement and with being more supportive of oppressed groups.

      I’d say that almost nobody is aware of all the myriad ways that something like ableism can fly under the radar. That’s not a fair standard to demand of yourself or others to be able to do this. (Shit, in all honesty I’m still ableist myself - I experience a lot of internalised ableism and, although I made a lot of effort to replace the low-grade ableist language like “dumb” and “stupid” in my vocabulary, life threw a multi-year shitstorm at me and I really lapsed in this effort.)

      You’re good, comrade. I don’t want you or anyone else to feel bad about this, I just saw this as a teachable moment and that original comment is my way of paying it forward to the people who helped me along my (ongoing) journey in being less ableist.
