Step 1: get adnauseum Step 2: set slider somewhere below always, like 60% or so. Step 3: visit politico, CNN, jewyorktimes, etc. I make a little game out if it, I'll click the first link in each page and see where I wind up. Protip: dont open too many tabs, the ad still renders when you can't see it so its still a drain on your system. Stick with one or two. Or the main politico page plus your link chain page. Also, do not set it to click all the ads. 10% is probably best for longevity. And set it to ignore good sites.

Keep in mind that in Houston, residents needed to be rescued because the city’s Democratic Mayor, Sylvester Turner, refused to issue an evacuation order — in defiance of Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott.

This is bullshit. Not only did everyone agree on not issuing a regional evacuation, doing so would have resulted in a four or five figure death toll. People would have been stuck on roads in their cars when tornadoes and flash floods came and they would have had nowhere to go. Not only that, but rescue efforts would have been impeded by having hundreds of thousands of broken vehicles stuck out on the roads once the water went down.

Yeah I couldn't care less about a silly cartoon. Calling it "vile" seems right out of the leftist hyperbole playbook... and even implying that it shouldn't be allowed?! Classic safe space mentality right there. Who gives a fuck? That's the nature of political cartoons -- they're a great canary for free speech, and should always be pushing the boundaries. Not that this one even is, but still.

This isn't anything new. If you have a complaint about any government overreach in any capacity not approved by the left, suddenly you're access to all public services is scrutinized. I remember when the tea party was more active the narrative was "look at the hypocrites using public roads to drive to their anarchist rallies!"

Im as upset about them deleting this offensive cartoon as i am about all the other censorship going on. I disagree with the cartoon. I disagree more with taking it down.

Wait, they chose to delete it. Im frustrated that public backlash has forced them to self censor just like i am when the left forces conservatives to do the same.

a) I don't find the original cartoon that vile or offensive and BizPacReview's effort to make this into an "I'm a victim" type of thing is off-putting. Sure, the cartoon relies on a low-effort stereotype against the only group of people who it is socially praised to stereotype, but I think there's an interesting ethical discussion to be found here: is it hypocritical of people who are varying degrees of anti-government to use government services in the event of a crisis or otherwise? I would argue that it's perfectly fine in most cases: if you're taxed at the point of a gun, why would you not want to get some of it back at least? The cartoon seems legitimate in that it brings up at least a moral discussion that you can legit have.

b) Should people on the right waste their time in playing "I'm so outraged and offended and victimized by this argument game"? Sure, it's a way to score an extremely tiny political point in this specific instance, but is this perpetually outraged game something we actually want society to play? People on the left dreamed up 943 new micro-aggressions in the time it took BizPacReview to write up this article. Not only is this a game that we cannot win, but even if we somehow did, we'd all lose by living in a hyper-politically correct and joyless world.

c) Hasn't Trump's election shown us that the key to winning arguments among the masses is to be funnier than the left? We should have an intellectual debate about the cartoonists' point, use it as a platform to point out that taxation is always demanded at the point of a gun, thank him for illustrating that it now socially acceptable to stereotype different groups of people, and make funny subtle memes about niggers looting TVs that reality can't deny.

Mostly it's stupid because the vast majority of the rescues have been carried out by private citizens who volunteered to save people. The local news estimates 80%+ of the total rescue trips were private.
