Anything from hexbear should be ignored

But you commented still. And if OP wasn't being honest about the source you'd have never known.

But the “joke” woulda been just as dumb.

I agree. It's comparing apples to bananas and tbh both governments suck in their very own ways and I really don't want to take a side here because I disagree with them both but for very different reasons.

And you can have the opinion that the "joke" - which really isn't a joke but geopolitical criticism like most "Tankie" memes where the punch line is "look at the stupid West funding these countries" is really bland.

But my point was being that simply dismissing a source simply because it is from Hexbear isn't a particularly good reason (at least to me) because not engaging with them will only increase their echo chamber and makes arguing worse and worse for the few lemmings that still dare to do. And as someone who still sees both sides, if it wasn't for geopolitics Liberal Lefties and Tankies would easily agree on almost anything.

FWIW in this instance the source and content are 1:1 correlations of stupidity

Trying to steal the Nina Hagen look in the top picture.
