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

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 92 points 10 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 27 points 10 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 9 points 10 months ago

Cool. The meme faces have names. TIL.

[-] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 41 points 10 months ago

Nobody fantasizes about buff men quite like the Republicans.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Yet they are never buttery enough.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 140 points 10 months ago

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 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 101 points 10 months ago

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

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 70 points 10 months ago

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

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 48 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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. :(

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 10 points 10 months ago

If you want actual satire of a similar calibre, I highly recommend the film Iron Sky as well as it's sequel. It's a political satire film with literal moon nazis. Hilarious and never forgets how ridiculous it's premise is, while still managing to be political satire

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

I'm so sad that movie flopped because while not all of it is funny overall it's a great romp.

The sequel was kinda bad, although campy Hitler on a trex going "seig heil mutherfrickers" is probably a top contender for silliest moment in film.

I'm always a fan of things where the Nazis are batshit insane campy morons because they're historically accurate :p

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?

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but part of fascist propaganda is trying to pass your human suit off as real, so they're getting better at emulating art.

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.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 10 months ago

I don’t like America ~~right now~~.

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

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I can understand that take, and I won't attempt to dissuade you from holding it.

To me, the melting pot of our country (i.e. diversity) is it's strength, and it's why I like this country.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I think our strength is that we can change. Our weakness is the amount of work required to make sure that change is for the better.

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.

[-] Numenor@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Free Palestine is the right side

[-] Bob@midwest.social 16 points 10 months ago

Sure, but we're taking the lump as a whole since they're all drawn as a group, which adds in "death to Israel" and "Hitler was right."

[-] phx@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Maybe, but the people out with the signs may not be. First of all: where and how are they protesting? Canada has a bunch of people being fucktards all over and I've yet to see where OUR government actually has a say in that particular conflict.

Add to that the ones laying threats, and the one "protest" that happened right after the Hamas attack while members cheered the casualties and just mayyyyybe there's a certain significant element that doesn't think Palestine will be "free" until all their so-called enemies (that'd be the Jewish people, whatever they live) are dead.

If the "right side" is calling or cheering for death and violence, you might want to reconsider what you consider right

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.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

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 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

That just goes to show how ignorant the average American is. Not what any word means. By that definition all governments would be socialist. Which clearly isn't the case. Unless you're one of those people that likes to imagine themselves both capitalist and libertarian.

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

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 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.

[-] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

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

[-] dlpkl@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Cool art style tho

[-] downhomechunk@midwest.social 13 points 10 months ago

Is he showing her his weiner in the second frame? I don't get it.

[-] magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh 10 points 10 months ago

That would be par for the course with republicans.

60% of the time wienermogging turns Karen into Stacy and her maternal instincts cause her to return to the kitchen and make you a sandwich

[-] Sagifurius@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure Stalin and Hitler had similar thoughts about the jews

[-] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 25 points 10 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.

Well. See.

Russia hates "Nazis". Not Nazi politics or policies, just the part where they broke their pact with Stalin and then attacked Russia. Modern Russia is really pretty okay with the values that Nazis hold, just not the historical war part. And, in point of fact, the professional Russian military (versus the meat-shield conscripts) have a pretty high percentage of nei-nazi members. (I'm singling out Russia because the hammer and sickle is so closely associated with Russia, as it was adopted as part of the flag of the USSR. IIRC it's still used by the Chinese communist party, but not by the country.)

As far as the 'Death To Israel' and 'Free Palestine' part, those aren't antisemitic by themselves. You can oppose the actions of the country of Israel, and even oppose it's existence as an apartheid ethnostate without being antisemitic, although the far-right nationalists in Israel will say otherwise.
