You see, I've drawn myself as the aloof, handsome man and you as a fat insane person, therefore I won the argument.

[-] lars 3 points 9 months ago

This was a banger of a philosophy to be honest. Got me through some tense drawing-hour sessions in kindergarten.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

They always depict the MAGA crowd as ultra buff, manly men, when they're usually obese boomers.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

You have already lost the argument as I've depicted myself as the Chad Wojak and you as the Virgin Soyjak.

[-] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Fool! I’ve already countered by showing your Chad Wojak is in-fact Crying Wojack wearing a paper mask!

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Cool. The meme faces have names. TIL.

[-] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 7 points 9 months ago

Nobody fantasizes about buff men quite like the Republicans.

As if an "Hitler was right" sign would be accepted anywhere but at a right wing rally with a bunch of MAGA hat wearing people...

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You're just not reading it correctly. Hitler was right. As in ideologically. The sign is valid, though I would have chose clearer language.

The kerning is off on the middle sign and some minor typos. "Death too is real." Reminding us we should be conscious of what the future has in store. Climate change is real and death too is real..

Edit: also if you look closely at his shirt you can see some letters are covered. After some research online i found that the shirt actually reads, "I like the name Ricardo." Which seems like nonsense so I'm not sure what the artists was getting at there.

MAGAts are pussies. I have no idea why he is drawn as some sort of chad.

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

The guy who makes these lives in Italy or Greece or something. It's been awhile since I saw the bio, but he's definitely not American. He's either a wannabe alt-righter cosplaying an American MAGA hat or he's a genius troll poking at the American right. Either way, don't take these comics as anything but heavy satire.

[-] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Meanwhile, one of the MAGAt shitbags is taking this fully seriously and burning up my inbox.

[-] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Projection and strawman-ing is how the right copes. If they were self aware they wouldn't exist.

[-] Bob@midwest.social 18 points 9 months ago

Okay, but like, the woman is still on the right side? Like, she's clearly not okay with the people behind her, so she's still got good opinions. So long as she follows through and also admonishes the protesters, she's right both times.

A lot of folks from the US seem to think the Nazis were socialists, because they called themselves "nationalist socialists" and well, by US standards, the Nazis were rather socialistic, too.

But the other big parties at the time were:

  • The "center" party, basically Christian/conservative (Z / BVP)
  • The communist party (KPD)
  • The socialist party (SPD)

So, yeah. You did not vote for the nationalist socialist party, because you wanted socialist politics.

Here’s a copypasta that I put together two years ago yesterday in response to the usual “but it sez soshulist in the name” arguments (this isn’t an argument against you, per se, it’s just there for anyone to use in the event of such arguments):

[Hitler] was wholly ignorant of any formal understanding of the principles of economics. For him, as he stated to the industrialists, economics was of secondary importance, entirely subordinated to politics. His crude social-Darwinism dictated his approach to the economy, as it did his entire political “world-view.” Since struggle among nations would be decisive for future survival, Germany’s economy had to be subordinated to the preparation, then carrying out, of this struggle. This meant that liberal ideas of economic competition had to be replaced by the subjection of the economy to the dictates of the national interest. Similarly, any “socialist” ideas in the Nazi programme had to follow the same dictates. Hitler was never a socialist. But although he upheld private property, individual entrepreneurship, and economic competition, and disapproved of trade unions and workers’ interference in the freedom of owners and managers to run their concerns, the state, not the market, would determine the shape of economic development. Capitalism was, therefore, left in place. But in operation it was turned into an adjunct of the state.

—Ian Kershaw, Hitler: A Biography, 2010

In the climate of postwar counter-revolution, national brooding on the “stab-in-the-back,” and obsession with war profiteers and merchants of the rapidly mushrooming hyperinflation, Hitler concentrated especially on rabble-rousing attacks on “Jewish” merchants who were supposedly pushing up the price of goods: they should all, he said, to shouts of approval from his audiences, be strung up. Perhaps to emphasize this anti-capitalist focus, and to align itself with similar groups in Austria and Czechoslovakia, the party changed its name in February 1920 to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party…. Despite the change of name, however, it would be wrong to see Nazism as a form of, or an outgrowth from, socialism. True, as some have pointed out, its rhetoric was frequently egalitarian, it stressed the need to put common needs above the needs of the individual, and it often declared itself opposed to big business and international finance capital. Famously, too, anti-Semitism was once declared to be “the socialism of fools.” But from the very beginning, Hitler declared himself implacably opposed to Social Democracy and, initially to a much smaller extent, Communism: after all, the “November traitors” who had signed the Armistice and later the Treaty of Versailles were not Communists at all, but the Social Democrats.

—Richard J. Evans, The Coming of the Third Reich, 2004

This ideology took a leftist label chiefly for tactical reasons. It demanded, within the party and within the state, a powerful system of rule that would exercise unchallenged leadership over the “great mass of the anonymous.” And whatever premises the party may have started with, by 1930 Hitler’s party was “socialist” only to take advantage of the emotional value of the word, and a “workers’ party” in order to lure the most energetic social force. As with Hitler’s protestations of belief in tradition, in conservative values, or in Christianity, the socialist slogans were merely movable ideological props to serve as camouflage and confuse the enemy.

—Joachim Fest, Hitler, 1973

And finally, don’t forget that the Nazis banned the Social Democrats and other leftists from politics, and that the holocaust focused on more than just Jews:

In the months after Hitler took power, SA and Gestapo agents went from door to door looking for Hitler’s enemies. They arrested Socialists, Communists, trade union leaders, and others who had spoken out against the Nazi party; some were murdered. By the summer of 1933, the Nazi party was the only legal political party in Germany. Nearly all organized opposition to the regime had been eliminated. Democracy was dead in Germany.

—United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

I’m just glad I hadn’t deleted it. Guess I’ll continue to keep it.

[-] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

So Hitler went from door to door killing off political opponents. Alex Jones has been insisting that Democrats have been doing this on the reg for the past thirty years. Seems to have worked pretty good for Hitler, and probably would have continued to do so if not for invading neighboring countries and genociding Jews. Since MAGAts are an actual terrorist organization with plenty of kills under their belts, we can probably avoid invading neighboring countries or genociding Jews.

The Nazis were not socialistic by any metric, unless your definition of socialism is the government doing stuff, but especially not by New Deal America standards.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

unless your definition of socialism is the government doing stuff

That basically IS the majority opinion on the definition here in the modern U.S, so their point stands.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 4 points 9 months ago

Only if you believe in only letting idiots define what words mean.

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Not if they're just straight up wrong about the definition.

Folks from the US: "DDR was a democracy! Why else would they have "democratic" in their name?!!?"

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Really great art, a shame they have dogshit political views.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

NGL the one with Biden turning a black person white was actually funny, in a surreal, over the top kind of way.

Too bad it wasn't satire. :(

Isn't part of being a skilled artist, someone that feels deeply and is in touch with the human condition, antithetical to right wing politics?

[-] Sagifurius@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure Stalin and Hitler had similar thoughts about the jews

[-] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

So did Americans until Eisenhower had pictures taken of the concentration camps. A Nazi rally of 20,000 took place in Madison square garden in 1939. Antisemitism was the norm in the US prior to WW2. The historic opinion of Jews should not be ones only defining line in the sand.

Isn't this the "Go have an abortion right now" guy?

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

They literally use any word they hear as an insult with zero thought to its meaning. Especially if it's something they were labeled as previously since, you know, they're idiots incapable of originality. This is why nothing they say makes sense.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I don't like America right now, because we have a lot of problems. If anyone likes America right now, they're likely to not care about anyone but themselves.

I don’t like America ~~right now~~.

Looking at our history, how can I? It's a history of oppression, inequity, and genocide.
