Matt Gaetz is Human Flatulence in a Cheap Suit

Matt Gaetz is a Republican house rep from Florida, and is one of the grossest, sleaziest, backstabbing two-faced snake oil salesmen to ever slime his way into Congress. He's the kind of guy who would smile right in your face as he kicked your mother off a cliff for a donut. He is the epitome of everything that's wrong with the Republican party. I will never vote Republican, ever, as long as I live, because of guys like him. He's ruined the brand for me.  Anyway, he went on TV and said a bunch of stupid shit on The View, so I made some comments on it.

Politics and Artstream #1 & 2 - Impeachment aftermath

So I'm an artist, and I figure it would be cool to draw while I talk so that people have something to see besides my giant head taking up the whole stream. So I decided to draw a goblin with a Trump hat while I'm talking about the impeachment aftermath. It's broken up into two parts, because OBS studio crashed halfway through.

 Part I:
Part II:
Enjoy!

Why I Am Voting Blue No Matter Who

The left in the United States is very divided. While it's great because that gives us (what I think) is a larger diversity of opinion, it also leads us vulnerable to being divided, which is something the conservatives often take advantage of. 
So I would like all of you out there who are supporters of the more progressive candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, that if your candidate doesn't make it, to please consider holding your nose and voting for the eventual Democratic nominee for president, no matter who it is. The decisions that the president makes affect millions of people across the entire nation, I believe it's not morally right to allow such bad leadership to continue. 

The Iran Debacle: Trump is a Goddamned Idiot

So I know some of you who follow me are probably conservatives or Republicans, and no doubt a few of you are probably Trump supporters. Please remember that this is not a knock on any of you - We can all be cool with each other. We are all Americans, good or bad, right or wrong. We all just want to be safe and live our lives to the fullest. But please, I hope even you guys can see that what's happening here is not right. This man is using the power of his office for his own ends. If he starts a war he or none of his family will be affected, but ours certainly will.

Our president has brought us to the edge of World War III because he's an incompetent idiot who's been allowed to continuously fail upwards simply because of the fact that he's rich, and now that he's being held accountable for something for the first time in his life at the age of fucking 73, instead of actually facing the fucking music he decides to play games with everybody else's lives. It's fucking embarrassing.

It's not supposed to be like this. Please remember that when you got to vote this November.

The "Straight Pride Parade" is just another dumb-ass troll

As some of you may heard there is a "straight pride parade" currently being organized to be held in Boston sometime this coming August. This of course has set the SJWs on fire all across social media. The thing is they should be on fire, because the more we learn about the organizers of this event, the more it looks like another far-right wing rally filled with asshole alt-right Nazi douchebags akin to Charlottesville.

This event is is being organized by a group called "Super Happy Fun America."  It turns out the principal organizer of this innocent sounding group is a guy named Mark Sahady, who is the leader of an another  organization in Boston called "Resist Marxism." There's a Guardian piece which reports that they have links with various alt-right and white nationalist groups. Mark Sahady also attended an event filled with Proud Boys and other right-wing assholes last June 18th in Portland Oregon which degenerated into a fist fight with antifa protesters. 

So why the name "Super Happy Fun America?" That hardly sounds like a group of torch bearing goosetepping black shirts itching to beat the crap out of protestors. When I first heard that name I thought it sounded like something out of 4-chan, and most likely I'm not far off.  The trend lately among alt-right crowd seems to be to come up with the most innocuous sounding memes to spread their hate-filled bullshit - "It's Okay to be White" comes to mind. Another is the "Honker" or "Clownworld" meme. The idea is so when the leftists and SJW people inevitably get pissed off and go on some deranged rant of Twitter or Tumbler,  then they'll look stupid objecting to something that sounds so innocent. Who the fuck could get upset at something called "Super Happy Fun America?"

It is worth noting that there's a big chance this parade isn't going to happen in the first place, because so far the organizers haven't actually applied for a permit. All that's occurred (to my knowledge) is that a statement from the mayor's office in Boston has said they can have the rally - which is 100% correct. Of course they can, first amendment and all. Personally seeing all the bad press this stunt has gotten I don't see why at this point they'd want to go through with it, seeing how the more the story spreads about this march, the more likely the amount of counter-protesters will outnumber them. The Alt-Right tends to do well at these things when they just show up without telling anybody. When Richard Spencer and his band of torch wielding goons had their famous rally in the middle of the night in Charlottesville on May 13th 2017, part of the reason they were able to run around chanting their dipshit slogans and intimidate people  is because nobody knew about it. By contrast that following July 8th the Klu Klux Klan also held a rally in Charlottesville, but by that point word got around and they were outnumbered twenty to one. 

If you really think about it the entire idea of a straight pride parade is ridiculous to begin with. The whole concept of "gay pride" came around because being gay isn't something that's easy. It comes with a lot of pain and anguish, and shame, and most of all people constantly fucking with you. This parade started as a way for people band together and get past all that. Nobody shames you or kicks your ass for being straight. Nobody has ever lost a job or got disowned from their family for being straight. And even if you somehow live in an alternate universe where this has happened to you because you're not gay,  this parade isn't about actually addressing any of that. It's not really about making straight people feel safe and accepted or  "celebrating the accomplishments of straight people," (whatever that's supposed to mean.)  These guys behind this do not give a fuck about any of that, all they want to do is trigger the libs. This shit is a goddamned game to these people.

Before we end I really just want to hit that point one more time - this is really nothing more than a game. That's something we on the left need to understand. It doesn't matter how you try to argue with these people, they don't care. The Alt-right doesn't give a fuck if shit like this ruins people's lives. Nor do they care if the people they support ruin the fucking country. That's why they can support highly corrupt and blatantly hypocritical politicians and policies which break up families or put people out of work. They don't care about reality. They don't have integrity. They don't give a shit what the truth is. All they care about pissing off liberals. It's a goddamned game to these assholes.

If they actually go through with this, then I encourage every gay person in America to show up to this parade. Make this the gayest pride parade in the history of pride parades, and send these douchebags home with their tails between their legs. 

You know why? Because fuck these people, that's why.

WTF is Virtue Signaling?

Imagine it's about nine in the evening, on any given weeknight. You've settled down with a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever it is you drink at night. The kids are in bed, your spouse is doing their thing in the other room, and there's some show you're not really interested in on the TV. You sit down at the computer and go to your favorite discussion board.

After a few minutes of looking at funny cat pictures and unfunny memes, you come across a post about a story in the news. It looks like a black person has had the police called on them for doing something that millions of ordinary people do around the country on a daily basis with no issue. In this case no one was hurt, but that's not the point. You decide to chime in with your thoughts concerning this particular event. You say your peace and post, and think nothing of it.

A few minutes later the little red icon appears in your notifications. Someone has responded to your post.

"Shut up you virtue signaling cuck. No one here gives a fuck, you sjw faggot."

I'm sure this is a true story for many of you reading this. Maybe they also throw in some shit about the Jews.

So, what the fuck is "Virtue Signaling," you may be asking yourself. It's when somebody loudly and visibly expresses certain opinions, positions, or values, that the person may not particularly live by or care for, expressly for the reason of making other people think they do. So said people may do things like post supporting messages all over social media, but then never really contribute any time or money to the cause they're posting about. A good example of this was the Kony 2012 "movement" to expose Ugandan cult and militia leader Joesph Kony. Suddenly we had thousands of people posting "Stop Kony" all over Facebook and elsewhere, when in real life none of these people had even heard of this guy or really gave two shits about forced child soldiers, or for that matter any of the problems people in Africa face at all. In this sense it's related to the phenomena of "dog-whistling," except instead of using symbols and coded language to signal your support you loudly proclaim it for all to hear.

Then of course the alt-right got a hold of it, and fucked it all up.

Long story short, when used by the Alt-right, virtue-signaling has become a way of attempting to shut-down someone's argument or criticism without having to actually engage. It's basically a more insulting way of saying "shut up!" with the added sting of projected hypocrisy behind it. One of the go-to platitudes of the alt-right is their belief that everyone holds similar positions on racism, sexism, and immigration that they do, but are simply too afraid to express it. Thus when someone stands up to them and publicly disagrees with their positions, that must then mean said person is merely virtue-signaling. They don't really believe what they say, they're only saying it because they want people to think that's what they believe. It's a great way of projecting one's own insecurities onto one's enemies while simultaneously deflecting their criticisms. It allows one to bullshit themselves into thinking they're somehow more ideologically more consistent, when in real life it's just another form of denial.

So when you're out there in the depths of social media, fighting it out in the shittier parts of Reddit, debating politics or culture with people you only vaguely know on Facebook, or god forbid braving the cancer that is the Youtube comments section, and someone hits you with this virtue signaling malarkey, the best thing to do is attack. Press forward and double down. The virtue signaling-gambit is a big red flag that says "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about."
