Info Graphic: A Trio of Trolls



It has been over five years since I began penning anti-Federal Reserve cartoons in my spare time. I started drawing them in 2009 and almost immediately I was attacked by Internet trolls. At first I was bewildered and perplexed. I knew nothing about trolling or why they would do such a thing. Many of my friends and family thought I should simply ignore them.

That works in some cases, but when trolling ramps up to libel and criminal harassment...well, that can be difficult to ignore. Just ask Kathy Sierra when she started dealing with trolls. The ringleader was a young man named 'Weev' who mercilessly hounded her so much that she decided to drop off the Internet completely. You can read her story in her own words here:

http://www.wired.com/2014/10/trolls-will-always-win/

Her story was very familiar to me and it DOES seem like the trolls always win. But then, one of them pushed things too far and he was arrested. I was able to obtain justice--even if indirectly. Joshua Goldberg began trolling at the age of 12 and he kept ramping up his activities until he crossed the line--he was promoting murder for laughs. For some reason the young man had a fascination with Australia and many of his aliases were Australian. This even threw off a cyber investigator who tried to help me by tracking down the identities of the trolls.

I can boil the trolling down to three main attackers. One of them is now in jail. It doesn't take a lot of trolls to ruin one's reputation and a few can wreak a lot of damage. My commercial art business has been hurt. I had to leave my art gallery because trolls began attacking the owner. Lawyers were not interested in my case due to the difficulty of prosecuting online libel. Just because justice can't be had, the trolls think what they're doing is 'right' and 'free.' Nope--it's still criminal to change my work into anti-Semitism and racism and then claim I drew them while spreading them around the Web. Copyrights do have meaning and my work is owned by me. It's satire, you say? Wrong. Satire would be to draw your OWN cartoons in my style to mock my work.

One of the lawyers suggested I should go on a PR campaign and tell my story. I've done that. I even wrote a book. I gave away more copies than I have sold. I have also been trying to stay afloat by selling originals of my cartoons. I've sold them all so far (with special thanks to one collector who loves them--you know who you are!)

Drawing political cartoons without editorial constraints is a good example of engaging in free speech. I drew cartoons that mainstream media cartoonists wouldn't draw. I had to be shut up. Whether or not the trolling was first instigated by government provocateurs or by chuckleheads doesn't matter. The only way to get out of this mess is to keep drawing them until my REAL cartoons begin to drown out the ones defaced by trolls. It would be great if I could draw them full time, but that requires some sort of support. It's why I signed up for Patreon. If only a few thousand supporters would pledge $1 a month, I could draw cartoons full time. That's a dream, but I had to try.

To my first three supporters, my hearty thanks and I will do my best to make it worthwhile.

Meanwhile, here is an info graphic that shows my three main tormentors and how they are all interconnected. When it comes to Internet trolls, it's a small world.

Joshua Goldberg, Glue-Sniffing Troll ARRESTED

UPDATE: Joshua Goldberg is confirmed as being European88, a troll who created hate screed boxes with my face and name on them. This garbage still abounds on Google searches. He also went by 'maymayposter' and Michael Slay, and he tricked the master troll, Andrew Anglin. Goldberg wrote essays for The Daily Stormer under the name of Slay. Andrew Anglin supposedly hates Jews, but he continues to harbor defamation against me including many disgusting meme images created by Goldberg. TAKE THAT LIBEL DOWN, ANDREW!
Goldberg was also many other sock puppets, both male and female. Goldberg apparently enjoyed plenty of lulz from his trolling, which became so extreme that he was toying with murder. Now he can laugh his way straight into prison!


UPDATE 2: Joshua Goldberg was also behind the "Goldman Sachs Paper Rain" series of pages on Facebook during 2014. Many iterations were removed, but he had a lot of followers and the exact same tone of voice he used for European88. That is, very arrogant, profane and racist. He attacked me regularly on the page and pushed FB's community standards envelope. When his page got removed, he would simply start another one with a variant title such as "Goldman Sachs Paper Tornado." He would often 'tease' the moderators by posting pornography and extremely violent content and then remove the content within an hour or two. Now that he's been arrested, the attacks on me by 4chan 'anons' have also greatly diminished. He was a 1-man anonymous army who attacked me as often as he could. Why? Because I don't think hate speech belongs on Facebook. By 'hate speech,' I mean calling for the murder of human beings, which was routine for Goldberg.

Here the keyboard coward twists the truth in order to get 4chan to attack me. He succeeded. (I never 'backtraced' anyone on 4chan).



----------
My reaction upon hearing news of Joshua Goldberg's arrest:

I recognized his name. I especially recognized his Facebook icon because he was a troll that repeatedly attacked my wife Tina and me on our Facebook and Twitter pages. He routinely accused me of being anti-semitic, a 'Nazi,' a 'racist' and so forth. We saved evidence of this and I'm still investigating whether or not he is also the despicable troll who calls himself 'European88.' My cyber investigator found that European88 was based in New Zealand or Australia. He was either a retired real estate lawyer venting his racism, or it could have been his son doing the mischief. That could all be completely wrong. Goldberg is a young punk from Florida who carried his trolling too far. I hope you get what you deserve, Joshua! Take a good whiff of prison!

I'll continue my investigation. I'm also going to update my ebook...probably sometime next month. This will be included.

http://www.news4jax.com/news/accused-orange-park-terrorists-troubled-past/35225780



Many on 4chan and 8chan have claimed that it was a Jewish troll who began defacing my cartoons and libeling me. I have no way of proving that, but in this case they may have been right. Sorry, but I'm not about to hate 'Jews,' merely because one of them was a pathetic twerp and punk troll. 

Apparently this bag filled with scum also used my name while setting up his myriad accounts to stir up shit and get others to attempt bombings and murder for him.

Here's Joshua Goldberg attacking me because of rense.com. Jeff Rense was the first 'big name' site to publish one of my cartoons. I admire Rense's determination to release news on Fukushima when other MSM 'journalists' ignore it altogether. I don't agree with Rense's anti-Zionism. Goldberg used the instance to defame me. Notice he posted this on the Goldman Sachs Paper Rain page. At that time, I was under ruthless attack by the entity behind this page--and I repeatedly filed claim forms with Facebook to get such material removed.

This is the same black background used by European88 on his vitriolic hate screeds to defame me.


Here the little bastard used my name to set up accounts


The tissue of lies runs deep. While pretending to be a white supremacist Australian, he also published articles on 'The Daily Stormer' and was part of Andrew Anglin's 'troll army.' He went by the handles of European88 and 'maymayposter' on Reddit. He used both of his handles to attack me repeatedly. His modus operandi was to also steal names and photos and create Facebook and Twitter pages/accounts to defame his targets. One troll can do a lot of damage and this young cretin made it his life's mission to stir up shit. Apparently as he aged and continue to 'get away' with it, he decided to up the ante and instigate terrorism and murder.


I penned an imaginary troll when I drew this cartoon. As it turned out, Joshua Goldberg was one of my biggest tormentors and he had hair just like the troll in the cartoon.


Quinn Norton wrote a short essay in which she hinted at worse things to come from Internet trolling and their identity fraud. In the case of Joshua Goldberg, she was right. He took sadistic pleasure in the creation of arson fires on the Internet. He stoked fires. He liked to watch things burn. He carried his trolling to such an extreme that he began encouraging murder.

Social media generates these doppelgängers, memes are constructed of these doppelgängers. Increasingly they have a network life without us, looking like us, being talked to (and sometimes replying) as us. Some are better than we are, and some are Zyklon Ben. Some are trapped, and some slowly trap ussignaling terrible things, just as doppelgängers always did. Figuring out how to manage these rogue instantiations of our identities could be one of the more difficult tasks of 21st century life. When they are constructed by bureaucracies, like innocent victims of the no-fly list and cases of terrorist mistaken identity, they can be even worse and more dangerous than Zyklon Ben. --Quinn Norton

Here is Goldberg on our banned list. "Moon Metropolis" was just one of his many handles.



I'm now updating my book, 'Rogue Cartoonist,' since I know know the true identity of one my main tormentors, European88.

Ben Garrison's Exclusive Interview with Andrew Anglin


Ben Garrison: Hello, Andrew. Thanks for agreeing to an interview.

Andrew Anglin: Just so you know, I don’t usually grant interviews to people I don’t like, but since you produced a lot of laughs on my site, l'll grant you the privilege. I know you have an axe to grind, but there’s no such thing as bad publicity. So bring it!

Ben Garrison: OK, let’s get started. I don’t have an axe, either. I use a maul.

Ben Garrison: You’ve attacked me quite a few times on your popular site, “The Daily Stormer," but you labeled the offensive material as ‘satire.' Do you know that your troll material shows up on Google searches? Do you even care that has ruined my reputation and my ability to make a living? Do you think it’s acceptable to accuse me of masterminding murders and terrorizing my family?

Andrew Anglin: What a crybaby you are. It was my intention to have that shit show up in order to ruin you. I’m glad I succeeded. You should have considered the consequences before you made yourself into an lol-cow. You must take all the blame for being a dumb ass Libertarian who listened to the Jew-controlled Alex Jones. You brought it all on yourself. Don’t blame me; blame yourself. Besides, you can’t sue me because you’re a public figure and therefore subject to my ridicule.

Ben Garrison: Who gets to decide whether or not I’m a public figure? It’s certainly not you. You can probably consider yourself a public figure since you have a Wikipedia page. I don’t have such a page. Famous personalities, sports figures and politicians are public figures. Very few out there in the general public know who I am.

Andrew Anglin: I know, that’s what makes it so fucking hilarious. It was easy to trick people into thinking you really are a Nazi. Well, at least you have an ‘Encyclopedia Dramatica’ entry, ha ha! It took you a long time to figure out that you are who WE say you are and you deserve all the ridicule hurled at you because you complained about it. Did you really think one man could defeat my entire troll army? All you could do is call us ‘chuckleheads.’ God, you’re dumb. Don’t feed the trolls! What part of that didn’t you understand? Besides, you brought it all on yourself for saying ‘hate speech is not free speech.’

Ben Garrison: You got me there. I sure did screw up with that statement. I was angry when I wrote that. What I meant to say was hate speech is not free on Facebook and other social media. I should have clarified that. There are community standards on Facebook and your schtick wouldn’t last there because you don’t own it and they get to decide standards. Hate speech is definitely free for you; that’s obvious. Nobody can stop you because it’s legal in America. Even so, what you did to me was libel and you had the chutzpah to brazenly ruin my reputation. That’s free for you too because I can’t get it removed from your site without spending a fortune. Your precious hate speech shall not be infringed on the site your dad bought for you. His involvement is a matter of public record so I assume he endorses what you are doing. Perhaps your mom does, too…which explains why a reporter wanted to interview her. Is she a white supremacist as well? How about your brother and sister? They look like normal people on their Facebook pages. By the way, did you see the cartoon I drew about you and your precious hate speech?

Andrew Anglin: Hey, it’s not cool to bring my family into this. Yeah, thanks for drawing me in shorts with socks and sandals and a big, flat nose. Asshole. My nose is flat because I’ve been in too many fist fights. And stop using kike words such as ‘schtick’ and ‘chutzpah.’ They are an offense to my Aryan ears!

Ben Garrison: You and your troll army had no problem dragging my family into it, now did you? But let's move on. Another thing a lot of people are interested in was your trip to the Philippines. You made a video featuring a young, giggling girl with you. Apparently you are now obsessed with hunting down this video to get it removed from the Internet. How can you claim you have nothing to hide while hiding something? In other words, when hate speech goes against you, you try to shut it down. Apparently you endorse free speech only when it benefits you. Were you trying to remove that video because you referred to the giggling Filipino gal in it as your ‘jail bait’ girlfriend? What does that say about your character?

Andrew Anglin: Listen, Bro. Everyone knows I was joking! 

Ben Garrison: I’m not your ‘bro.’ I’m old enough to be your father. I realize you’re not the type who shows respect to your elders, but please go ahead and tell me more about why you went to the Philippines.

Andrew Anglin: I went on a long vacation there. My dad bankrolled it. He thought it would be a good experience for me. He also has a penchant for the young ladies, so he understood. I like young Filipino girls because they are shorter than me and they don’t care if I boss them around or if I tell them to shut up. American girls are too problematic.

Ben Garrison: In other words, you can’t find a girlfriend in America. You are only 5’ 2” tall, so I know that has to be a problem for you. I noticed you used a big word there, too. It’s nice to hear you employ words other than profanity, even though I think ‘problematic’ is overused these days. It’s good that you’re brushing up on your vocabulary. After all, I heard that you considered yourself a ‘journalist.’ Have you had any training or education in that field?

Andrew Anglin: No. I majored in drugs, alcohol and fist fights. But I’m a great writer and if I wanted to, I could get a job writing for the Jew York Times!

Ben Garrison: Uh huh. Yeah, I heard the New York Times is looking for a reporter with Turret’s Syndrome. Anyway Andrew, why do you hate Jews so much? Have you ever known any in person?

Andrew Anglin: No, I’ve never known any in person, but I’ve heard they’re greedy people who want to run the world and destroy the white man. They blame the white man for everything and make ridiculous claims of victimhood. They say sixty trillion Jews were made into lampshades by evil white people. But they don’t have to worry about me. I have no intention of turning Christ-killing Jews into soap. I’m non-violent, but if I could figure out a way to send them all back to Europe, I would. Maybe we can vote them off the island. I’ve never met a white person who has EVER had something good to say about Jews. Anyone who has ever been around them regularly despises them.

Ben Garrison: Just remember that American Jews have the same Constitutional rights that you do. If you try use violence to kick them out of their own country, you should know that many Jews also are big believers in the 2nd Amendment. As for your hatred of Jews, it seems to me that it’s mostly based on hearsay, and you only want to hear anti-Semitism. I think you’ve been brainwashed by hate. I worked at newspapers for about 20 years. Many friends and coworkers I worked with happened to be Jewish. They were all good people and I never detected that they were trying to take over the world. Also, I’m a white man and I liked them, so that proves you wrong.

Andrew Anglin: Well, you’re a shabbos goy! They have you fooled! GAS THE KIKES! RACE WAR NOW!!!

Ben Garrison: Calm down, young man. It’s that kind of, uh, ‘journalism’ on your site that motivated Dylann Roof to murder innocent people. He perused your site and even posted messages of hate there, remember?

Andrew Anglin: Shut up! I have a disclaimer on my site! However you feel about me and my views, you have no right to claim that I'm responsible for a mass murder, nor does anyone have a right to try and intimidate or bring harm upon my family. The damn Jews are pulling out all of the most wicked and low-down tactics imaginable!

Ben Garrison: Yet you delight in intimidating and bringing harm to others when you harass them with your Daily Stormer ‘troll army.’ Making up lies about others and flooding the Internet with them isn’t 'low-down?'

Andrew Anglin: You’re just an old faggot crybaby who can’t take the heat. It’s not my fault, it’s YOUR fault. You asked for it and it serves you right. You didn’t understand how the interwebs worked and you paid the price. 

Ben Garrison: Yeah, and I’m continuing to pay that price all right, but you must know that your troll attacks bring harm to people such as me—people who aren’t public figures who simply want to exercise their free speech to express their views. Now you’ve made it difficult for me to make a living by Photoshopping me into a Nazi uniform and making sure my name is in the file title. That image is among the first things to show up on Google searches. I was almost kicked out of my art gallery because the owner believed what she saw there. Isn’t it wicked on your part to ruin someone’s reputation and ability to make a living simply because you don’t like his politics?

Andrew Anglin: Good! I’m glad you’re ruined. I enjoy breaking rice bowls. You are a fucking mass murderer and I want everyone to know your true self—Zyklon Ben! We tell you who you are and you should just give up and become what we want you to be! It’s my free speech to ruin your reputation and you can’t sue me. Falwell vs. Larry Flynt sent the precedent. For a libertarian you sure don’t seem to like free speech!

Ben Garrison: I respect free speech, but we libertarians also respect property. You have vandalized my cartoons and then posted them on your site, claiming they are the ‘originals’ with my name left on them. My lawyer said I have a case, but it would be very expensive and most likely you’re broke so there would be no incentive for him. I couldn’t raise enough money to sue you, so you can rest easy. Let’s get back to the interview: I assume the ‘we’ is your ‘troll army’ that you muster in order to attack your targets du jour, and then attempt to destroy those targets through bullying, doxing and character assassination. And yet I noticed something: When you are trolled, you spew crocodile tears. Recently, a TV reporter wanted to ask your mom a few questions—which is legit since you are a public figure. He just wanted to find out what made you into a troll and how to contact you since you are apparently in hiding. I see on your site that you danced quite a tantrum about a reporter just trying to do his job. 

Andrew Anglin: What NBC’s Duane Pohlman did was a gross violation of basic human morals! No one deserves to have their mother abused like this, and that by allowing this to go unaddressed, we are putting the basic concept of freedom in jeopardy! Pohlman is a filthy jew trying to terrorize my mom and we will do our best to see that he’s fired!

Ben Garrison: How did he ’terrorize’ your mom? He never even spoke with her. Your dad also remains closed--lipped about what you are doing. He claims he doesn’t even know what National Socialism is, even though he funded your site and receives donations at his ‘Christian Counseling’ office. People are curious about what ‘made’ you this way. Most Americans consider Nazis to be nut jobs, including me. Are you really serious about what you are doing or is it a big, elaborate joke? You must be aware of your own hypocrisy and that’s why I’ve concluded that you are not a real white supremacist at all. You are really just a troll who enjoys clowning around. In fact, even other white supremacists are ashamed of your antics and theatrics. I hate this word, but they think you are ‘cucking’ them. It makes them look bad. Can you admit you are doing this merely for the kicks trolling provides you? You have figured out a way to make a living from trolling and being a Nazi enables you to utilize all the scary drama that it entails. Yet some would say you can dish it out, but you can’t take it. I think you can take it. You simply enjoy playing the victim when attacked. You love the drama. It inflates your already capacious ego. You love making waves and noise and drawing attention to yourself. You must get a big laugh out of fooling people in this manner. I think trolling is your life’s real passion. You do it to bring more attention to yourself, which means more eyeballs to your site and perhaps more dollars into your wallet. Will you admit I’m right?

Andrew Anglin: I’ve always been a troll at heart and I’ve admitted it. I’m also a proud Nazi! What are you? You’re just an lol cow—a fucking faggot!

Ben Garrison: You seem to like that word. Is it true that your uncle owned the lone gay bar in your hometown, and after he died your dad took it over? 

Andrew Anglin: No comment.

Ben Garrison: But you do see the irony here, don’t you? Your dad helps fund your activities. You routinely attack gay people on your site while indirectly receiving money from gay people. 

Andrew Anglin: Can’t you understand? It’s a war and I’ll do anything to advance the cause. If I have to bend logic here and there, I’ll do it to destroy the Jews and support the white man! I got into Hitler and realized that through his type of nationalist system, alienation felt by my fellow young people could be replaced with community in a real sense, while the authoritarianism would allow for technology to develop in a direction that was beneficial rather than destructive to the people.

Ben Garrison: The Jewish people would not find your system beneficial. Nor blacks. Nor hispanics. Nor gays. Then where would that lead…only blue eyed and blond people would be allowed into your club? Now that you mention it, are you even white yourself? After all, you have a broad nose and quasi-mongoloid features. Some say you look like an albino black man. You admitted that you are attracted to black women and young filipino girls. Isn’t that odd behavior for a white supremacist? Also, you’re not a very tall physical specimen, and yet you want to be known as a great leader of white men. Do you see any contradiction here, and does any of this bother you?

Andrew Anglin: What are you implying? You tall guys are always referring to us as manlets. What you just said is a low blow and a personal attack! I can’t help how tall I am and my parents are white. I already provided ample evidence of my whiteness. You are repeating a stupid Jew hoax that I’m not white. As for me praising other races, I was drunk when I made those statements. End of story.

Ben Garrison: Do you like any of the current presidential candidates?

Andrew Anglin: Trump wants to send the beaners back to Mexico and I like that, but he supports those goddamn kikes in Israel. Everyone else is a joke. What we really need is a strong white leader like Putin. Russia may be the only white nation left considering they’re the only country not allowing millions of shitskins in to take over. I may end up moving to Russia. 

Ben Garrison: Yeah, I heard you liked Putin--but don’t you like Hitler better? You may remember that millions of Russians died fighting Nazis, so they may not exactly throw out the welcome mat for you.

Andrew Anglin: Putin is a real man! He is making the Jews leave and he wants to restore the Romanov monarchy. How great is that?

Ben Garrison: Maybe Putin will bring back hemophilia, too. Maybe he should add ‘Ras’ as a prefix to his name. Can you tell me any inside info about your operations? Are you a honeypot for the FBI? Why have you had so many problems with your servers and your site going down?

Andrew Anglin: Yeah, all comments posted on my site go directly to the FBI and NSA. Some day they will really give the masses who post on my site a real education--inside concentration camps. There. Does that satisfy all you conspiratards? My site keeps going down because it’s expensive and I can't afford to hire IT persons. I see the outages as a way to keep asking for more money, too. When the DS is not up, people miss it! Hate is like a drug and I have many addicted to it. As for inside info, I will tell you I’m no longer living in Worthington, Ohio. I only go there to pick up money from my dad. I’m now hiding out at a top-secret location because I’m getting famous and too many people want to beat seven shades of shit out of me.

Ben Garrison: OK, so now you’re like Hitler in his bunker. You must have a lot of people angry with you—because I’m one of them. You won’t have to worry about me showing up for a fist fight, though. I’m almost double your age, weight and height. OK, that really was a cheap shot, ha ha. Anyway, you’ve stated that you were once busted for drugs, but now you say you want drug users put in concentration camps?

Andrew Anglin: No, I said drug DEALERS. I make my living dispensing hate, not drugs. It was just a metaphor. Geez, you really don’t have a sense of humor. How in the hell did you ever become a cartoonist? I believe drug dealers should be executed. Pornography will be outlawed entirely, as it has been seen to be extremely destructive to male-female relations. Anyone caught producing pornography will be hung. I also hate fat people. If I was in charge, all of these fat lazy no-self-discipline bastards would be sent straight to the concentration camp to break rocks in the hot sun until they got themselves together. 

Ben Garrison: Did you just say those who like pornography will be well hung? Would you also punish only fat white people or fat black people or fat gay people or fat Jewish people or keep them all separate or...oh never mind. Well, I must say you certainly have your troll banter worked out. Congratulations, you’re a master troll.

Andrew Anglin: Yeah, I’m the champ! I’m the Floyd Mayweather of trolling. I’m undefeated. At the same time, I'm doing my best to stop the Jewish takeover of western society. Uh-oh, my server just went down again. I have to get back at it. This interview is over! Hail victory!!


Ben Garrison: Thank you.

UPDATE: Thanks to Andrew Anglin's troll army, I had to leave my art gallery. The owner was harassed. Sure, it's easy for everyone to find out I'm not a murdering 'nazi' as Andrew claims I am, but nobody wants bad publicity brought into their place of business. Take a bow, Andrew. You must be beaming with pride.

UPDATE2: Andrew Anglin teamed up with another troll, European88 (the 88 stands for 'heil Hitler') who told Anglin his real name was "Michael Slay." Slay then wrote several hateful essays for Anglin's site. Slay turned out to be none other than Joshua Goldberg, the troll recently arrested for inciting terrorism and murder. So Anglin is no longer the champion troll. He was knocked out cold by a 20 year-old recluse named Goldberg. Oh, the irony. Goldberg also attacked me on Facebook and Reddit repeatedly.

The above interview contains satire. If you don't like it, Andrew...feel free to 'come at me.' This is still America and it's my Constitutionally-protected free speech. If you remove all the altered photos of me as well as the libel from your site, I'll be happy to delete this post and all the images. --Ben Garrison

COMING SOON!

I have an exclusive interview with the young Nazi, Andrew Anglin!

Stay tuned. He's told me a lot of juicy insider info!

Daily Reminder: Andrew Anglin is a Little Troll

The fake Nazi scamp is at it again. Andrew Anglin, I mean. Apparently he's published another photo of me in a Nazi uniform (yawn) along with an anti-Semitic hate screed. I guess he's run out of original ideas. No worries...his daddy--Greg Anglin, a professional Christian "counselor," who apparently prefers that his patients are good looking young ladies, will pay his bills when he can't raise enough donations from his hate. His dad has received bad reviews for his work... perhaps because he mostly enjoys toying with people's minds. Like father, like son.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syWHGdCrEgg

Little Andrew is a trolling scallywag--following in his dad's footsteps. He's not a Nazi--that's just the song and dance he puts on in order to raise money through hate. In my book I've exposed him for what he is--he's a professional troll. Seen in this light, he is harmless. (Unlike his dad who messes with people's minds for a living).

http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Cartoonist-Internet-Perils-Citizen-Muckraker-ebook/dp/B00XGFI0SK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432409542&sr=8-1&keywords=rogue+cartoonist

Enjoy your hate, Andy....now get back to work and earn those shekels...your dad can't be expected to pick up your tab forever.

http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/957991-ben-garrison


Here is an earlier message that I posted:

Anglin is a spoiled, immature troll and nothing more. He uses his cartoon Nazi site to attract haters willing to support his troll habit. In other words, he's figured out how to get paid to troll. He knows hate pays. He's admitted that trolling is his passion. He's proud of it...but when Anglin himself is trolled he tosses a tear-filled tantrum. He also fancies himself some sort of journalist, which is laughable and pathetic.

What's even more pathetic is big daddy bankrolls his son's bad behavior. It must be interesting for him, a so-called 'Christian mental health professional,' to sit back and enjoy the psychology of it all. Shame on both of them...but his dad deserves condemnation in particular. There's no way America will EVER embrace that stupid Hitler junk--especially my generation. Our fathers fought in WWII to defeat that bastard. Hitler disdained Christianity and warred with Russia (Soviet Union), and yet Anglin admires Putin. It all makes no sense, but trolls care little about logic and reason. They merely want to stir up hate. Again, it's just trolling and that's all. Anglin is not smart enough for anything else.

End of story. --Ben Garrison

Where I get my ideas



People have asked me where I get my ideas. I do a lot of reading, for one thing. I listen to podcasts. Alex Jones inspired many of my cartoons because he often speaks using vivid metaphors. I get many ideas when I go on a daily walk. They often come in a flash. If I try to 'force' an idea, it never comes. I call it vertical vs. horizontal thinking. Artists use vertical thinking. Sometimes the ideas are somewhat vague at first, then they develop on their own in a random way.

Here is a case where I was inspired by a Star Trek episode, 'The Apple.' The inhabitants of the planet feed and pay tribute to 'Vol' who takes care of them in return. In our case, people often expect government to meet all needs and solve all problems, but in exchange people lose all freedom. The country becomes a banana republic. That's what the cartoon is about.

I have a cheap notebook in which I chicken scratch out some basic ideas. I've had many good ideas that have gone undrawn simply because of no time. I make no money from the cartoons and commercial art must come first.

Trolls such as Andrew Anglin claim I 'copy' a racist, anonymous cartoonist now known as Nick Bougas. It's a lie. Just because Bougas once drew a train means nobody else can ever draw a train? That's absurd. It’s my contention that Andrew Anglin is not a Nazi at all. He uses his silly, cartoon Nazi schtick as a means to troll. He knows hate pays and figured out he could make a living from doing what he loves best in life—trolling. That's why he drives hard to the donation hoop. You’ll see him often call his ‘troops’ out to troll various targets. When he himself is trolled he cries crocodile tears and fails to see the irony in his own hypocrisy. My lawyer said what he’s doing can be considered satire, but pasting my name onto A. Wyatt Mann cartoons and claiming I drew them crosses the line. He also publishes defaced cartoons which he claims are ‘originals’ and that is clearly libel. Again, I don’t want to censor anyone and they’re free to call me every name in the book. They can ridicule my cartoons all they like. Fine. I can take that. I can’t take them defacing my work and leaving my name on it and then claim it’s the original while mine are fake. If that’s not libel then libel does not exist. --Ben Garrison
