Find good political graphics

[GatorsUF]

I am looking for a spot to find good social media graphics for current events.

Example: A good graphic that defines the hypocrisy of our funding of ISIS while fighting ISIS. They can be funny or serious or both, but just something that will catch your eye and make you read it. I find that when I post things on social media in my own words people are less likely to respond than if it is of a picture that puts the info in their face.

I know of "reddit.com/r/libertarianmeme/" but they don't have a lot to offer. Any other places you guys know of?

I'd check the picture threads if I were you. You might have to sort through a bunch of disgustingness, but there are some gems in there.

It's ISIL. Not ISIS.

Anything influencing the spread of inaccurate language or language that specifically stimulates one to think otherwise would be nothing less than political propaganda or spinning the terms of controversy for a prescribed political response. What I mean by that is that we are seeing the misinterpretation meme starting to be used to lead viewers to papers that lead to arguments that are being made by the writer in a way that does nothing but stimulate thought with regard to who the bigger hawk is as opposed to a paper on the actual group and what is happening in terms of relevance to you, the reader, beyond the fear porn. Is that what you're looking to do?

In fact, this is where tagging issues with various terms becomes dangerous. Now everyone in the free world is tagging ISIS with their stories and news pieces, and, unfortunately, those kinds of shortcomings keep meme activism in the forefront of actually trying to inform a person. 5 times out of 10 the term ISIS is going to lead back to a John McCain meme and then what that does is avoid the more critical issue and then he gets to become the subject matter instead of ISIL itself. Now, sure, it's an easy way to conform to riding the actual issue out until the election has passed buit what does it really do as far as maybe trying to help a feller out with learning about what ISIL is and what is being done to deal with it? Your representatives are refering to them as ISIL. It is practical, in the interest of the flow of accurate information, if people out in the wild west that is the www did that too.

Here's the thing. If we remember that it really only takes around 2-5% to cause change (I maintain 2 but most folks say 5...it's variable, I suppose) then we have to remember how to actually act like the 2% that differs from the other 98% who don't actually/typically do or know anything. This is why the model works. It's why it really only does take 2%. You see? And so when we start to become the 98% or act the way that the 98% of dis/uninformed people do then what we are doing is we are voiding the very model that historically makes change successful. And so that is what I see happening with the contradictory political language with the ISIL thing. It's unfortunate, but, then again, we're a meme society and so it's almost a natural reaction to become counter-intuitive to purpose.
