"Oh noes! The cartoonist has a political agenda! What will we ever do?"

This is a nice conspiracy theory. What does it all mean though? What's their end game?

It doesn't take a fortune to post an inflammatory cartoon. So I have my doubts that there is a conspiracy.

But if there is one, the intent would be to get citizens so riled up at each other and distracted that they become totally ineffective at opposing the interests of the rich.

Ok...

Jewish Americans are the most powerful and influential ethnic group in America. Jewish Americans make up 2 percent of the U.S. population yet comprise 48 percent of U.S. billionaires.


Let's go after 'em!

Nah. Let's go after the rich - all of them - not just the Jewish ones.

That's a can of worms for another day. But, I don't harbor any anti-rich sentiment.

[garote]

Just anti-Jew sentiment? :D

A "conspiracy theory" (as you derisively use the term) is one devoid of facts to back up the theory itself, or one that runs contrary to facts. What part of my synopsis do you question, find devoid of facts, or object to due to falsehoods?

I would be happy to provide clarifying material. I've been collecting it for years.

As to "their end game," it was stated quite plainly in the 1971 document (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum) that inspired quite a bit of this activity. The end game: recapturing the country from the leftist forces the memo claims will mean the end of the enterprise system, capitalism, the system of American business (Powell used all of these terms in the memo itself).

Powell himself did not foresee the use of appeals to fringe groups to advance individual political agendas: that innovation was the work of Joe Overton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Overton).

I'm currently working on a rough narrative of the document, the details Powell set forth, and how the thrust of the system is evolving thanks to work like Overton's. It's fascinating.

And very, very well documented.

Addendum: Y'know, if you want to gauge their end game, go to their web site, the one that distributed the comic. There is plenty there to read. Most of it supports law changes or fights for policy that will either appeal to values voters or make business a shit-ton more money. And quite a bit of it was really esoteric stuff about law in process, stuff very, very few average voters care about in the least.

All you've done is point out that there is a political group striving for policies you do not agree with and then projected your values onto others and then insulted their intelligence because they don't agree with your values.

There really isn't anything for me to object to here because you haven't actually articulated a philosophical position, i.e. argument. You've shown disdain for an opposing political view. Ok... so what? That doesn't make you right. It simply makes you different.

People who have different interests than you aren't automatically malicious. People willing to make different sacrifices than you aren't automatically malicious. If you presume otherwise, then to combat the opposition, you're going to eventually become militant. And we already see that trend emerging on the left.

And with that we're moving more and more towards totalitarianism.
