Good. Ben Garrison has been raked over the coals so many times, he deserves a bit of justice. All his classic cartoons were re-made to look anti-semitic, and they did such a ridiculous job of it you can't even find the original comics through image searches anymore, just the smearjob anti-semitic photoshopped versions. They really did a number on that guy, trying to make him out as the bad guy by modifying all his work and then disappearing the originals from any search engines.

Seriously, use google image search, or duckduck go, and try and find the this classic cartoon he did without first stumbling across a dozen modified versions of it designed to make him look bad. It's kind of unreal tbh.

Here's an article about the ongoing smear campaign against this guy: https://www.wired.com/story/ben-garrison-alt-right-cartoonist/

So the ADL must be running Voat then, too.

Well I think he's suing the ADL over a particular article, but I was just adding more context to the general smear campaign against Ben Garrison

    It came right up for me. Searching for that cartoon even corrected my spelling error. DuckDuckGo, not guuglag

    Anti defamation league sued for defamation.

    Ohhhhhh the irony.

    He should have sued for six million dollars.

    That would have been priceless.

    But that's an anti-semitic number.

    How about HR-6666?

    Or a "gajillion"!

    It really sounds like they just absorbed the 4chan meme about him being a white supremacist, and when the guy tasked with writing the article realized they didn't have any evidence, they just went with "Well he doesn't like Soros or the Rothschilds" as if that proved it.

    I hope he takes them to the cleaners. The unironically named Anti-Defamation League published this article in 2019: http://web.archive.org/web/20190710094717/https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/jewish-control-of-the-federal-reserve-a-classic-anti-semitic-myth

    The original version used a doctored version of a Garrison cartoon. Given their ongoing interest in Garrison, it's difficult to believe that the inclusion of this image was done innocently. The following day (or in a similarly short timeframe) they added a small caption, under the table of contents that follows the image, to explain that this isn't the work of Garrison. That they keep the image up as the first thing people see in the article is misleading. They should have either explained beforehand that this isn't Garrison's work or removed his signature from the image. People won't even see the caption if they click on one of the links below the image.

    There is literally not one downside to the ADL. Whatever good it may have done in calling out anti-semitism has long since given way to censorious witch hunts.

    Why not add the same example cartoon to Wikipedia?

    [–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Good question. Because I'm confident Wikipedia would censor it. They do not allow anything but the "official" narrative which means there is nothing above the duopoly - including the globalist Ziocon New World Order "tyranny" stuff. I was banned for a year 2016-2017 for being "another polite truther" so now I have to pick my battles. I can add to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern confidently but sadly need to be careful about modifying content that could be simply reverted, making it a waste of time. I need slicker and slicker ways to subvert to stay, for a while at least.

    I should also point out they are not the same article, though I did just copy over the categories and the infobox stuff.

    Welcome to the Trump train, Garrison. All of that sell out effort and you still didn't get your white house invite, and you're still blacklisted. Congrats on shooting yourself in the foot.

    Backstory: he went from being non-partisan and calling out to the plutocracy, to being a complete partisan for the republicans, very similar to Alex Jones.

    LOL

    This reminds me of "the jew cries out in pain as he stabs you"

    Jews are racists.

    You know you made it, when the ADL condemns you. Congrats BG

    No, actually that Jew character is trademark of an ADL artist, he does stuff on Voat and Poal too.

    The SPLC and ADL ought to just save themselves a ton of time and soapboxing and just FOIA request the census results.
