He got real close to an actual thought provoking comic here but just couldn't resist drawing that arrow just in case we're too dumb to get the message.
Don't forget the vaccine syringe because???
And is that a.... Lego brick?
Didn't notice that lol. Congrats to him on the subtlety I guess.
Ehh, I am not sure I'd call something virtually everyone would agree with thought provoking.
For Benny it is the deepest thought he's ever had
Brought to you by the same people that cheered like baboons for the Patriot Act. 9/11. Murica.
The Patriot act that passed with a ton of bipartisan support? That Patriot act? The one Obama promised to rescind while he was campaigning and then renewed after he won?
Don't make the mistake of believing any of these assholes are on your side. The worst of the worst legislation is always bipartisan. We've got faces and heels and at the end of the day they're working towards the same goals.
This is a reminder that Democrats, in large, are not leftists. They are capitalists. They pass capitalistic legislation that benefits largely the rich and status-quo, which makes them conservatives.
America has two authoritarian right-wing parties to pick from. One is less right wing than the other, but they're still both to the right of the major right wing party in my country (New Zealand)
People aren't political parties though. The OP is referring to followers of a specific belief system, not somebody registered as a D or an R.
Idk, Ben might be an idiot but he was pretty libertarian before he went all in on Trumpism.
He was a raging narcissist who perpetually thought he was smarter and more special than everyone around him. I'd say that fits pretty well with most libertarians I've met.
Garrison’s gone so far right he’s starting to raise left talking points.
Not how that works lol, horseshoe theory is bullshit
I don’t doubt you, care to share your references?
Overton window overflow
Aren’t all of those part of the executive branch
I liked the image, saw the author, unliked it, then realized that is cringe and shitty people can also have decent takes every now and then. I then reliked the image.
Edit: fuck the antivax shit though
Except Ben's biggest issue with those is that they stopped a fascist coup...
Did they though?
I thought when it was when he was creepily showing Greta getting “spanked.” 😮
Why is there a syringe and a Lego?
The syringe is there because Ben's an antivaxxer
The Lego is there because he stepped on a lego once and it was clearly the government's fault.
But seriously, I'm dying to know what insane shit they've come up with about legos and the CIA.
No idea, but it looks much better without them
Both hurt to step on.
The FBI makes innocent people step on LEGO bricks every day!
How am i supposed to understand with no cum
So in 2001 when the PATRIOT Act was signed, that created the Department of Homeland Security (or DHS) under which the FBI, CIA and NSA were placed. If we give the US the benefit of the doubt (for a moment) the notion was that some government departments that didn't like each other very much would consolidate data for common concerns, which might help stop further terror attacks.
Spoiler: It didn't stop further terror attacks. The DHS was so concerned about Islamist terror from the Middle East (so much so it was abducting Americans for being slightly too Arab and too Muslim) for the CIA Extrajudicial Detention and Enhanced Interrogation program. That is to say, they were being taken to foreign black sites to be tortured until their mind was scrambled.
One the other things I noticed at the time (I'm old) is how the DHS was beholden specifically to the executive branch of the US federal government, where before the FBI and law enforcement were kept at respectable distance so the president wouldn't misuse police officers as goons or hit squads. In the 1930s, part of the point of the Waffen SS (or the SS in general) was to have a police / military force that was loyal not to Germany but to The Führer, himself In fact, it was a big deal in the NSDAP party doctrine to create chains of command and loyalty not through national structures but through structures of the party organization. So when George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, I was even then getting are we the baddies? vibes.
Anyway, so it's a bit weird to me that the DHS isn't mentioned here as the name of that giant thorny branch. Other than the TSA the other three were their own separate things until that happened.
Because the dhs isn't investigating the republican God emperor. Nothing more complex than that.
"Judicial" should be some kind of engorged, tumorously enlarged branch.
It's not just the American people these days. Edward Snowden's book goes into some detail about how the NSA has access to many counties internet infrastructure etc.
I always knew Legos were just another tool to keep us in line!
That alt-right dipshit lifted the idea from "The Gang of Four" lore from the 1980's Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG. He just replaced DEA with TSA, which in itself is asinine. Why not ATF? The TSA is a joke.
Because the tsa is responsible for enforcing the no fly list Jan 6ers are on
Best guess: they made him drop his pants at the airport to do a cavity search.
Does he know that all of those agencies are part of the executive branch?
Where's the CUM edit?
I'm favoriting this comment and expect someone to deliver the goods for pick up later
Damn this is a great illustration
