      I don’t think so. I never googled Luckovich but cartoon-after-cartoon shows him to be a stone-cold liberal. He believes this shit.

    What are they doing to fight?

    Didn’t Kimmel have to apologize?

    Anyway, as far as artists creating change, here’s a Vonnegut quote:

    During the Vietnam War… every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.

    Ok, as a Fr*ench that makes me a bit mad. AS MUCH AS OUR REVOLUTION JUST ENDED UP INSTALLING A NEW DOMINANT CLASS, AT LEAST MY PEOPLE ACTUALLY TOOK WHATEVER ACTIONS WERE NECESSARY AND GOT RESULTS, NEITHER THE DEMOCRATS NOR ANY OF THEIR SUPPORTERS CAN CLAIM EVEN A THOUSANDTH OF THAT.

        I had a struggle session with my ex (white) about this one when people were praisong some of the hardcore French protests and I was noticably less enthused, because they identified that I was biased against France / the French and that seems really out of character for how much I hate racism. Well, after some struggle, with me defending my discomfort and trying to explain why it was not the same, I finally was able to articulate feelings about French colonialism and seeing how disgustingly hatefully Islamophobic (we really need a better suffix than “phobic”, they don’t fear Muslims, they hate Muslims!) mainstream French culture or at least their legal system ended up getting especially with all the manufactured controversy about the Charlie Hedbo blowback.

        And then they got it, or said they did, and dropped the issue, and I found that now that I understood the source of these feelings I could be a bit more discerning in my frankish discomfort and not lump French leftists in with the same discomfort. But they’ve gotta actually be leftists, not leftist for themselves and fascists for the global south.

          (we really need a better suffix than “phobic”, they don’t fear Muslims, they hate Muslims!)

          we have a word for that, it’s called “french” /s

          Another note, I get really surprised by how mostly white people treat even slight banter at countries that committed centuries of atrocities as “racism” or “xenophobia” ???

            Sometimes I think it’s because it is difficult to teach people what the words mean on a visceral level unless they’ve personally experienced it

    Why is the late night host Abe Lincoln instead of Kimmel? What late night show did Lincoln host?

    Also the cartoonist self-insert is very funny, that’s shit that Kelly does:

      i don’t think it’s supposed to be lincoln, just the random french dude holding a musket in the original painting, but holding a microphone instead

      political power grows from late night monologues

    It’s like he saw Kelly comics and saw that they were popular, but didn’t understand the satire of them and just tried to emulate it, but with “good” art and 0 satire. Like, “Cartoonists” fighting for democracy? I didn’t think it was even possible for someone to be that smug and self-satisfied while doing so little.
