I never realized until now why they use the “45” so much. Just move one of the black bars and it’s a fucking swastika… And Haitians are really a stand-in for black people.
The real problem is that we allowed the plutocrats to control both the news and social media and the government. Basically the US doesn’t have a free press any more but a quasi-government controlled oligarch media. As long as these neoliberal policies continue the degradation of institutions and politics continues.
Something drastic would need to happen to purge this incredibly power imbalance from the captured state. A kind of reformation or practically a coup.
Are you a bot? Your grammar makes me think: yes. Or autocorrect, via Google.
Neoliberal policies fuel degradation of institutions? Can’t say I disagree, though having little to do with dismantling of democracy, or those institutions.
Some socialist theory defines fascism as capitalism in decline. I don’t really agree with that definition but it’s not wrong with their critique of capitalism. So if you want to learn more about that, you should look into the (few) socialist academics.
One simple example would be corporate or capitalist ownership of media or the “fifth estate”. How could you have a democracy when voters are deliberately misinformed about reality? And not because of ideology but for profit and to create better rules to increase corporate profits? What else do you expect to happen?
She’s countering our truth-like lies with fake-sounding truth!
This is gold. I might have to steal it slightly.
Ok fine but WHERE IS THEIR CAT?!?
Me seeing the swastika in the preview image:
“Welp…guess I gotta wait for nobody to be around me before I look at THAT!!!”
Me after seeing it:
“Glad I waited until I was alone.”
That’s not even a swastika it’s a 45. It just really feels like it’s a swastika when you see the fanta fascist.
…wow. If you hadn’t pointed that out, I would have never even noticed that detail. My brain just saw that as a swastica.
That’s almost too real
Haven’t watched the simpsons in a while…did they do this?
checks notes
Oh. Well then. This may be a rare case where the simpsons DIDN’T do it. Real life did it first.
I mean the points are all correct but fuck this comic sucks.
How does it suck? Is pretty much spot on throughout. Sucks that this is what we’re living in, but the comic makes it easier to relate to the hell we’re sharing.
Haitians put the Spring in Springfield tbh
