Why is every drawing Ben does somehow weirdly horny? Pete has a pretty flat ass so I'm not sure why he drew him with that dump truck. Unless it's a play on his last name or something.

Buttigieg isn't a diversity hire, he's a CIA adjacent agent of the finance imperialism:

Pete Buttigieg has a "a huge resource-and-mineral map of Afghanistan" on the wall of his living room— anyways I'm sure his work on "economic stabilization in war zones" while at McKinsey and (and in naval intelligence before that) was all totally above board and 100% ethical https://nitter.net/halaljew/status/1196952837898539009

Queerness really is like airplane flares to these freaks, huh? You can take the most obvious case of a hollow sociopath who's ambitions are defined purely by service at the altar of capital, a history with some of the most evil organizations on Earth, scandal after scandal about facilitating the immiseration of the masses on behalf of bloodless companies... And it doesn't matter, right wingers secretly love all that shit so they can't perceive it as bad, or even as an aberration. So instead their criticsm just cuts a 90-degree right turn like a SAM missile locking on to chaff, and the only thing they can think of is frothingfash "GAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!1!"

the signature chud move is getting mad about actual problems, saying correct criticisms for sometimes up to 50% of a sentence, and then falling off a cliff into blaming whatever minority their media is currently demonizing

Bro, every time. All my coworkers

[–] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

military dork missing the joke mode: to use chaff effectively, combine it with flares and fire in large bursts, and then maneuver such that the flare/chaff cloud is between you and the missile. if you don't couple the chaff with flares and with the appropriate maneuvers (placing the cloud between you and the missile), the missile will ignore them and focus on the biggest heat source - your engine (jet exhausts specifically i think)

sometimes i think you can also use the sun to confuse missile lockon but that seems like something they would have fixed by now. the thing about missiles is that they have less fuel and less wing surface than a jet, so the jet can raise altitude easier and for less fuel, and can maneuver more easily. the missile is faster for a short time, but if you increase altitude (it costs more fuel for the missile to go up) and keep it to your 3 or 9 clock position (it costs more fuel and reduces speed to turn) you can outmaneuver it and waste its fuel. if the hostile missile is moving straight and not turning you are doing it wrong.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Chaff is to put clutter on a radar, flares are to distract heat-seeking missiles. Coupling it doesn't do anything unless there's somehow a missile that has both an IR and radar guidance(don't think this exists).

Chuds think any attempt to facilitate queer people is too far and requires a gargantuan effort, even the paltry fake inclusion stuff that neoliberals do. What was that one essay where ecoterrorists capture all the world's nuclear reactors? And they get away with it because the US military spent too much money on pronoun training instead of shooting guns training

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 37 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Okay what is it with Ben and making weird drawings of the people he hates but with fat asses. I found...this.

I can't figure out what point he's trying to make beyond his barely disguised fetish but I'm laughing my ass off.

[–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago

I hope his kids release all the strange porn he's drawn after he dies.

[–] HighOnCopium@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago (4 children)

He definitely has a thing for fat dumpers

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Garrison and his weirdly sexual comics are the exact kind of unhinged nonsense we need to dunk on more, this shit is hilarious

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I could actually use a couple of labels here. Wtf is going on?

Ben has to be bi-questioning at this point. He can't help himself but draw these guys like this. Remember his obsession with Jack from Twitter and his midriff?

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Also the number of times he's drawn Trump as a muscular beefcake with a six pack. He's done it a lot.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Come to think of it, even stonetoss comes off as gay, and he has admitted to being a furry too. And he's at least the only semi-smart fashcomic, everyone else is just batshit insane.

[–] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

I've got a lot of stuff still internalized about weakness, strength, and identity, so I will say when you are trying to suppress something and someone encourages you to release it it can be maddening. Because you think it makes you weak or a failure, and they're encouraging it. It's like offering alcohol to someone recovering from addiction. The main difference is that what they are holding back is not bad. It took me a long time to get the voice saying adhd was an excuse out of my head, and understand people saying I might have it were not insulting me or telling me I was weak or trying to weaken me, but showing me what they thought was true. I am pretty good at making space for other people and silencing judgement against them internally, but I still hold myself to a lot of things I know I shouldn't. I have the knowledge and will to change, if I didn't it would just be pain and anger.

His face in this cartoon is kind of similar to the Teletubbies.

Ben drew a fat ass and then decided he might as well not waste the effort and drew the rest of a cartoon around it.

I’m a gay man working in transportation, which according to conservatives is level 2 diversity hire right behind black people and Mexicans.

You think I had it easy being out while still trying to get a job right out of college? You think employers were just bypassing all the straight applicants because they were so eager to hire me?

I was an English major and was looking to get into education but the homophobic environment I was in at the time turned me off to ever seeking anything more than a Bachelor’s.

I pivoted to aviation and got my licenses. You think I had it any easier than everyone else? That my job prospects weren’t just as hopeless as everyone else? That I didn’t have to start out working for a fly-by-night operation like everybody else, except that I had to conceal a major part of my identity from my potential employers because they were all chud small business tyrants? My mental health took a hit and so would my career if I had been open to my employers. This was the “part 91” world which was and is basically unregulated flight operations (relative to the airlines). My orientation was a hindrance to employment, not a free pass to immediately start making millions as a Boeing exec.

You think that when I became an Inspector at the FAA and went to work out of the closet that I was immediately put on some sort of career fast-track? That I didn’t have to deal with the same tired homophobic jokes from colleagues day in and day out, that I wasn’t passed up for opportunities that were afforded to lesser experienced, straight guys? That my first boss did not actively try to hinder my career there? That I didn’t experience the exact same boredom as everybody else there and the exact same dread when I had to interview a 90 year old millionaire who crashed his Cessna because he forgot to refuel it? That I wasn’t paid the same pathetic salary as every other Inspector?

I loved that job. I got to issue pilot’s licenses for fuck’s sake, how many people can say the same? To be clear, conducting checkrides is considered lowly and menial work by most Inspectors. That’s why I basically did all of them for my office. Or, my boss had me do it. You know why. If it weren’t for the homophobic office environment I might still be there.

I moved on to the airlines. You think that I got some magic free pass and that airlines were kissing my feet begging me to work for them? Fuck no. I was rejected from ~90% of the places I applied to, like everybody else. Straight white guys are still a majority of pilots in the US. Most of them range from conservative to frothing chud. They are more likely to be hired than others. The bias favors them. There is no “diversity hiring”. It’s absurd that chuds think some black people in advertisements mean that’s what the hiring scene really looks like.

It is so fucking insulting to be accused of only being where I am now because of who I fuck instead of the years of exhausting work I put into getting here.

You know who the Boeing execs are? Straight white guys. You know who most likely misinstalled that door? A straight white guy.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

it's soooo fucking funny that biden was elected as a pro-rail guy, he gets in office already knowing american transportation can't be fixed so he appoints one of his opponents as a fall guy for it, and the guy just happens to be so profoundly incompetent at just the messaging that americans start to notice an agency they literally never care about.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Ben Garrison has to know that we make fun of him for the thicc ass. If you're reading this Ben, I hope we're your favorite trolls meow-hug.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Diversity is the reason why boats are getting hijacked in the Red Sea. If only classy Captain Phillips was guiding the ships we wouldn’t be having this problem.

[–] lipilee@feddit.nl 12 points 10 months ago

The main takeaway to me here is there are no good cartoonists left on the far right.
