i’m absolutely fucking peeved at this hilariously stupid comic
what the fuck does this even mean
the author’s position is “antifascists are just as bad as fascists because of their use of violence” and is trying to prove that point by appealing to authority via a Churchill quote, and tries to shoehorn in the current events news that Trump put the White House’s bust of Churchill back on display (it was removed from display by Obama in order to make room for a bust of MLK Jr).
it’s, by all accounts, a clusterfuck.
Didn’t Churchill admire Hitler at first?
Wasn’t he himself a huge racist?
Wasn’t he kinda a huge dick?
Like I’m on mobile so I can’t link sources but he wasn’t as admirable as you think lol
yeah churchill was a racist imperialist shithead
Churchill made comments to the tune of “they deserve to die” in response to the Bangladesh famine. Just like with the famine in Ireland, England was exporting food from Bangladesh during the famine.
Honestly, if you think about it, aren’t the fascists the real antifa? /sarcasm
“I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes.” -Winston Churchill
Staunchly believes in eugenics, supporter of hitler before the war broke out, supported the russian white army fully aware of their wide pogroms and pushed for political aid to be given to them. Did little to nothing about the famine that was more or less entirely preventable if not able to save millions of lives with action taken. The fact that this absolute devil of a man is celebrated as anything other than a war criminal is a disgrace. Idk who’s implying who’s admiring him though on top of that it seems like all the commentators are definitely in agreement that he’s horrible.
Isn’t the red panels artist an actual nazi or something like that?
Yeah, pretty much. Red Panels is an “alt-lite” comic that tries to make Nazi sympathy sound reasonable. It’s basically just the “politically correct” version of those old A. Wyatt Mann cartoons. Oddly, it’s a perfect illustration of the point that Churchill was making: contemporary fascists (like the cartoonist) do tend to avoid the label “fascist.”
Anyway, Churchill was a genocidal eugenicist, so he makes a natural ally for contemporary fascists. It almost makes you wonder why they go to the trouble of misinterpreting him, when they could just pull from him honestly.
Isn’t this the same person who did that utterly disgusting “We weren’t going to put you in concentration camps but then you started punching us” comic? :(
