Personally I was concerned about why he’s wearing capitalist advertisements. But also I don’t know who this is, if that matters.

Pretty sure that was Dale Earnhardt (think that's how it's spelled). He was a famous NASCAR racer

I had a Dale Earnhardt Bic lighter in 1998. That’s about as much as I know other than that he suffered an untimely early demise and was well loved by fans.

I'm out of the loop but why do I see this guy (nascar driver?) in meme lastly?

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 20 points 1 year ago

That's Comrade Earnhardt!

Serious: Dale Earnhardt is/was a cultural hero for rural conservatives, as he was one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, so it's been fun for Lemmy meme artists to use his likeness for aggressively left-wing memes. It's a little bit "Ha ha funny NASCAR man makes memes about communism" and a little bit "conservatives will believe anything delivered to them in meme form so let's capitalize on that".

I don't know why he's associated with socialism and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Listen, if I walk into a restaurant, and there's a table with nine, there's nine people in the restaurant, and they're... the people, there's nine people and they're... nine of them are Nazis, and I sit at the table, then I'm one of the nine. There's a ten Nazi table in the restaurant. In every restaurant.
