Context. The commenters getting upvoted are defending this racist meme by local social media personality and racist idiot "The Kiffness".

The commenter that got 270 downvotes is the one calling out the racism.

Yes, many people in South Africa are still so racist that they do the fried chicken stereotype thing and insinuate that this is a tactic that black majority political parties use to "buy votes".

Mortadella is a derogatory Brazilian term used to describe supporters of the Workers' Party and the political left in general. This term originated due to a far-right conspiracy theory which claims that Mortadella Sandwich, a common snack among the country's working classes, was distributed to PT militants when they took part in movements organized by the party as payment or to buy votes.

It's actually funny how the right wing have the same conspiracy theories everywhere.

I do think the brazilian chuds should run with "neither feed nor pay your armed forces" actually. Like they got my full support there, that is a very good idea

A mortadella sandwich would get my vote...

Also is so obvious that the right wing is just being derogatory and or racist with these narratives of "they're buying votes with "!" If that actually was the case, all they'd have to do is also provide cheap popular foodstuff, but no it's because their ideological basis and practical actions drive people away and the other group actually cares about people enough to feed them.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
