The Right Can't Meme

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

Nobody fantasizes about buff men quite like the Republicans.

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.

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

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?

I don’t like America ~~right now~~.

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

Free Palestine is the right side

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.

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

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.

That would be par for the course with republicans.

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.
