?

Perhaps it should be invite only, then.

Over time, admin roles will be assigned to those who can be trusted the most. @AcidOverride is the kingpin here.

Please use the link from Twitter and feel free to invite more people.

Chat about whatever you want. The tagline of this room gives some theme ideas. It's all yours.

I'll begin with something.

I think the IRR is a very important organisation, only wanting the best. They focus on data primarily.

@Robzombie yes you can trust them. I trust them. I know them personally too.

IRR is not political. They're completely independent.

IRR are currently overhauling their funder base. They've been pushing for it in recent weeks. They're moving away from corporate funding, towards independent funding like AfriForum. You should join the IRR. It's dirt cheap and they are very important.

But before you join the IRR, become a Jerm patron. It's about 50 bucks and I already have 35 patrons, and they're helping me draw cartoons that no editor or cartoonists wants to go near. I'm going to be touching on race and IQ; identity politics; leftism; etc. Then you can join the Patreon channel too (closed to the public). 😋

@Tom_Servo I'm not deplatformed. I have a lot of work, thankfully. (I'm the busiest I've ever been.) But there is still a bunch of satire that can only be published with the help of patrons. And I'm trying really hard to get satire back to its roots.

Here's my first race-IQ cartoon I've done, funded by patrons and collaborated with the patron alongside my signature.

@Klipkop (Clip-Cop) No, I don't think so. But I do think radical leftism is fashionable and its adherents tend to be very vocal.

This cartoon was also funded by patrons, and rejected from every publication. Still went viral on social media though.

@AK EFF wants to do away with favouritism by favouring women.

Friends, please invite others and help grow this group. The link is pinned to the top.

Welcome @Scribbly_G

Scribbly is, in my opinion, one of the funniest cartoonists in SA. You must follow his work.

Pity.

Thanks @MikeyMike . No need to up your Patreon game. You're doing more than enough! I'll give it some thought.

Tell you what, if I get another patron today, then I'll draw it: https://www.patreon.com/mynameisjerm

@Tom_Servo We have a long and colourful history. He's seen as the cleancut popular kid of cartooning, while I'm seen as the punk-anarchist kid (true story - I was labelled that a few months ago).I'm going to make a video about it soon. I'll post it first to my Patreon page.

It's well established that Zapiro has multiple prestigious art degrees. I failed art at UCT.

Anyway, I'm on a deadline (for Rapport). Will pop in again later.

@Robzombie Zapiro is left by his own admission. In fact, he has said publicly that he is "progressive".

Pity.

I'm the only cartoonist defending Israel's right to defend itself.

Chaps, there's a new channel for random banter. 👌

@Scribbly_G is one of my favourite local cartoonists.

Predictions for election 2019. Go.

@Gonzo No, he's afraid of debating me one-on-one.

The green is Muslim-majority countries.

The red is the horribly oppressive Israel.

I said earlier that if I get another patron today, I will draw a cartoon about Zapiro declining my debate invitation.

I got another patron today.

Which means that I will start working on my promised cartoon.

Quick roll-call:

Who here is a patron? I want to add you to the Patreon chat room. (It's a private room.)

Those who are patrons, please can you follow this step:

"You can also head over to your account settings page and click on the Connect to Discord button to connect your Discord and Patreon accounts."

While on my Patreon page.

My apologies for the back and forth. I colour in pictures for a living; not this kind of stuff.

😂

@Dusty I'll have a look at it. Please forgive me. This stuff isn't my thing.

@Andre If you're a patron, then apparently you can connect via your Patreon settings.

""You can also head over to your account settings page and click on the Connect to Discord button to connect your Discord and Patreon accounts."

Please tell me what you see there.

And please post in the Patreon room so that we know it works. We shall be chatting about secret stuff there. 😃

I love my fans.

Since nobody is allowed to discuss this, I put it into a cartoon.

Donno is a cartoonist only as a hobby, and is one of the best cartoonists in SA, I think. I've met him. Great guy. Wonderful work.

Please share away. I really don't mind at all. I'm not precious about the stuff being on my personal timeline.

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 Is it good?

What book(s) are you currently reading? And by that I also mean "listening to". I'm a fan of audiobooks.

I've got 12 Rules For Life as an audiobook, if anybody wants it. It's in Google Drive.

It's something about lobsters and standing upright.

I'm supposed to be working on my deadline, but here I am. Not working on my deadline.

I'm quite religious and carry my bible with me.

The 48 Laws Of Power.

If you haven't read it, then you're a heathen.

@Ros I'll share a link with you privately, if you want it.

Welcome, Donno!

When Jordan starts crying while reading, things get serious.

No. Jordan doesn't ever clear his throat. He likes to live on the edge.

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 Then it'll need more cowbell.

Invite them here. They're on the same side as us, so it might be nice to have some crossover.

I'm actually supposed to be doing a video with Willem soon. I turned him down a few weeks ago.

All these chat rooms are good. We need to start gathering the disciples so that we can go out and preach the gospel.

Pinned, I think.

Please share far and wide. This is a leaked document from the Department Of Land Reform, listing farms to be taken. Some owners have been contacted already. One of the farms is even a stud farm.

From what we know, every farm is white-owned

I have been informed that the list isn't fully legit.

To clarify:

1. The list comes from the Dept Of Land Reform
2. Whether or not it's a final list, is uncertain.
3. The fact that it comes from the government is the most important part.
4. Details are less important.
5. There shouldn't be a list at all.

The state doesn't have enough money to compensate farmers at the full price. Which makes it a land grab.

I nearly spat out my coffee.

I've been getting some more info. I'll share it with patrons, since that room is closed to the public.

https://www.scribd.com/document/386002876/What-Will-Happen-When-The-ANC-Takes-My-Farm

This is written by a farmer who wants to remain anonymous.

Drew this yesterday.

On a side note, I'm a bit babalaas today. How about you?

😂

From 2003. Look for the links.

@Dusty

Let me turn the question around:

What is it that you dislike about Trump?

@Dusty Let's be more specific.

What is his attitude towards women? Are you referring to his locker room banter from a decade ago? Around 20 million women voted for him, including a woman I personally know. (Former South African.)

The woman I know, who voted for him, is divorced and highly successful. She lives in Malibu, which is largely Clinton supporters.

What I'm saying is that Trump might not be what the media makes him out to be. The markets love him, and he is following through on his campaign promises like no other president before him. Good or bad, that he is sticking to his guns makes him respectable, in my opinion.

I certainly think Obama would be more pleasant at a braai, than Trump. But I think Trump is a better president than Obama.

I also think that Trump is a result of the left's constant dismissal of anything to do with white males who are straight. The more the media tries to reduce men to nothing, the more pushback we will see, like we are seeing.

"Toxic masculinity" mantra leads to guys flipping the bird.

Plus, Trump was a businessman who had a TV show and then got pissed off at everything. He said I'm going to run for president to fix this mess. Everybody laughed and then he won.

That, to me, is brilliant.

The popular vote is a misnomer.

Trolling level: JERM

Google trolling South Africa.

I love Trump because he flips the bird at everybody. He has completely derailed mainstream media and doesn't give a shit.

And his presidency isn't terrible either. The markets are doing fine. The people who hate him are just emotional.

@Tom_Servo

"Trump on balance can't be described as a good person, but because of the bloody nose he gave the left people will defend the indefensible."

Describing him as good or bad is not something we can do, since it is a moral judgement, and we don't know him. We only know what the media portrays. Therefore, good or bad is irrelevant.

I don't buy arguments favouring "balance" anymore. I used to, when I was naive.

Also, Hilary was president for 2 terms during the 90s. Why would she want to be president again?

Hilary also stated she wanted a wall, back in 2009, I think.

The difference is that she said "fence" and not "wall".

"As a senator from New York, Clinton voted to authorize war not just in Afghanistan but in Iraq, too, despite a less-than-compelling case for invading the latter country. She also supported extended occupations that have failed to accomplish anything other the near-complete destabilization of the entire Middle East and Central Asian regions. Incredibly, she still talks about the U.S. intervention in Libya—which she argued for forcefully as Secretary of State—as an example of "smart power." "

"Add to that her near-complete failure while serving as the nation's top diplomat (including a ludicrously botched "reset" with Russia) and her calls for increasing all manner of surveillance in the service of the global war on terror and you're looking at a huge increase in state power with little sense of balance or responsibility."

Clinton on free speech:

""You're going to hear all of the usual complaints—you know, 'freedom of speech,' etc.," she said. "But if we truly are in a war against terrorism and we are truly looking for ways to shut off their funding, shut off the flow of foreign fighters, then we've got to shut off their means of communicating.""

"Clinton however supported the odious Defense of Marriage Act signed by her husband in the late 1990s, which was an attempt to forestall recognition of gay marriage. In fact, she only embraced marriage equality in 2013, in a conversion that is widely seen as political."

The woman flipflipped incredibly.

She also opposes free trade deals like NAFTA, CAFTA, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
