What's the joke here? What's a "fed"? Is it a group of people that the middle blob doesn't like and substitutes "Nazis" with that word, which is what he complained about and that's the joke?
A 'Fed' is slang for a member of the enforcement agencies of the Federal government. In other words, the middle wug is saying "They're not actually a Nazi, they're an undercover cop to make 'us' look bad", the joke being both the hypocrisy of accusing someone without evidence, and the impossibility of proving the far-right credentials of cretins to people who are determined to never see Nazis no matter what do to.
Oh, then I just wasn't aware of the rhetoric that the government would care about making Nazis look bad.
Yeah, it's common for Nazis to accuse others of being agent provocateurs trying to 'trap' them into saying (or doing) the quiet parts out loud so they can be arrested easier.
i mean... the actual nazis also forced false confessions...
A fed is a Federal Agent. It's what Republicans call people who make them look bad by agreeing with them in public.
I'm with you. This is joke relies very heavily on a stereotype that if you aren't aware of, makes almost no sense. The logical leap between Panels 3 & 4 demands serious background knowledge.
I guess you can still laugh at the absurdity of a person unwilling to call someone a Nazi
Listen and believe.
No question, no think.
Hits just right!
