thats their new shtick. They suddenly like the idea of the USSR now, and want to become a hermit country.

They quite literally mean anti-war, because they want to be isolated from the global world. Although i guess anti-global war is probably better? Idk, they justify this shit weirdly.

America kinda wised up on the 20 year war on terror getting nothing accomplished in the long run, so now they're trying to paint dems as the warmongers for daring to help a soverign country being invaded. One that we promised to send aid to if they were ever invaded. Republicans also love to suck putin's cock, so being "anti-war" in this instance is the easiest stance.

Why do conservatives insist on making the left look so cool?

'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Queer States of America and to the Pride for which it stands, one nation under HRT, indivisible, with abortion and gay sex for all.'

Ah, so the price of gas is decided by the president, and Trump is just more generous than Biden? As is well known?

Not scissors!

They’re still trying to push this vaccine passport thing? Like…when’s the last time anyone even brought up vaccines?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Somewhat ironic: my kid's school. Apparently they had to send a reminder that all kids must have proof of 2 rounds of Measles vaccines (thank goodness for that requirement).

I know this image centers on COVID but from what I gather it's back to wanting to be "pure blood" for these folks....

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I love how they purposely made the left side glowy and vibrant and the right side look dull and lifeless because otherwise they would not look cool at all

This graphic appears to me to have been made as a mockery of the Christian nationalists, it just seems so exaggerated

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

We should get guns too, mostly cause of the nationalists, but still.

"Get your guns and your HRT here!" "You there! BLM protestor! How'd you like some free healthcare and locally controlled and represented community protection?" "Get your vaccines at the drag show! Free vaccine with every ticket!"

Man, if we could just politicians that actually did the things they fear mongered about we'd have a pretty great place to live.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Looks like a self own to me. Guns, gas prices that were artificially low bc of a mishandled pandemic, being ruled by Christianity, whites featured prominently, etc. On the other side you've got people living freely, supporting Ukraine, caring about health, fighting against police brutality.

When I first saw it I was immediately thinking the left half was obviously shit, then I realized who made it.

A statue of slave owners built on stolen land, eh?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

You mean the sacred mountain racists defaced or the statue of the racist "founding fathers"?

Not shown, Stone Mountain in Stone Moutain GA where KKK carved Confederate "heroes" in the 20th century.

What do the random scissors in the right panel represent? Are arts and crafts now controversial for christo-fascists? Paper-maché - now you're gay!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I’m assuming it means…cutting off body parts? It’s in the transphobia portion of the picture. So I’m assuming it’s meant to be, like, genital-wise.

Interesting they’d use safety scissors though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Without Christ, people run with scissors which is super dangerous obviously

[–] fleabomber 1 points 8 months ago

I think they're school scissors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I think it's supposed to be abortion... But they don't know how abortions work, so they just put like M.A.S.H. style surgery equipment?

Or maybe it's because they are trying to convey surgery for dysmorphia?

Unsure... Either way it's kinda wrong... But it fits the theme of the entire piece... "Misinformed".

[–] Hobbes_Dent 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Extra special for them to throw BLM and (?) Bronze Age man in there.

[–] De_Narm 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Religion, guns and nationalism vs medical care, freedom and support of people in dire need of it?

There are some other things, but I don't think there's a single good thing implied on the 'good side'. Yes, even cheap gas kinda sucks, because fuck cars.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

i dont think the artist that made this understands what the term "moratorium" means...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Really interesting that the right side has a picture of Dave "why I left the Left" Rubin and his husband announcing their surrogate children.

[–] reddig33 6 points 8 months ago

Is this for real, or satirical critique? It gets so hard to tell these days. Is there an attribution?

[–] Anticorp 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

They could have just put the actual price of gas the last couple of years and it would have still served their purpose without being an outright lie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

they probably pulled canadian prices, without realizing they roll on a different metric there.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh, right. Because it's created by some foreign troll farm and they're just like "here are some things to fight about".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

something something, the political right, something something the political left, something something artistic liberty.

[–] RageAgainstTheRich 3 points 8 months ago

Whats with the scissors near the top? Are we doing arts and crafts? 😲

[–] FreakinSteve 1 points 8 months ago

There is only one way to deal with christian nazionaliztes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

But the white left told me both sides same!
