A four-panel cartoon published by Mandeville Daily satirizes a familiar pattern on social media, where a small but vocal group of disgruntled citizens denounce every institution that rules against them. The cartoon offers commentary on how online outrage often intensifies in inverse proportion to public support, especially when criticism stems not from evidence, but from dissatisfaction with an undesired outcome.

Are you saying that it’s what you can prove and that grouping non evidence based social media posts dimineshes the validity of actual fact based issues?

Nah. I think what they’re saying is, there seems to be this same group of peeps on social media who each have some beef with the city and they didn’t get what they wanted. It happens. They’ve each become just like that guy friend that everybody has had at one time or another in their lives. he was cheated on by his girlfriend and she did him wrong, really wrong, like bad wrong, and they broke up. And for three years straight every time you see that guy friend, even though you’re totally sympathetic at what that evil bitch did to him, it’s all he ever wants to talk about and you have to hear the whole story over again and again and again. You invite him to a party, he talks about that bitch. You’re talking about the Saints’ loss, and he somehow steers the conversation to that bitch and what she did. You’re talking about which ice cream to buy, and he brings up that bitch and how he can never eat mint chocolate chip again because that was her favorite. Lather, rinse and repeat. You eventually hate to see him coming and duck and hide and just wish he’d shut up, and he used to be a great guy that everyone wanted around, but he let what that bitch did ultimately define him until he lost all his friends… except his dog. The dog will always be your friend. JMO.
