        I’ve seen a few here and there, but they usually get downvoted away for simping for trump or somesuch.

        There’s like, one conservative community on one instance. And it’s like five people who get clowned on for making hilariously stupid and fallacious comments. They’re outnumbered in their own communities.

            Authoritarians who simp for the Soviet Union and CCP. They’re fascists just like the Nazis, but with a red coat of paint.

        Any instances that are slightly conservative or even allowing free speech are getting defederated because “they are offensive”. No wonder people get triggered by this cartoon.

      If any, this is making fun of MAGAs, which typically don’t care about facts.

        That’s true, but the “Sue was offended” part reeks of boomer conservative insult.

          I understand. This is weird, because the first part is like anti-MAGA and pro-facts. But the second part is anti-facts, and thus pro-MAGA. This is too much for my brain to handle.

            You can appreciate humour even without knowing if it’s a left or right meme

              Well, I would laugh about racist jokes, at least not the hateful ones. There are e.g. some funny pasta jokes about Italy though.

      I once saw a kid after throwing up have a nose bleed and had to encourage her to blow out the bloody puke.

    This is actually a really current and relevant meme, even if many other comments here say otherwise. It may have been relevant in the past as well, but that does not affect today.

    The member states, that with lies and anger you get a lot of attention in modern politics, but not with calm rationality. However, calm rationality is what is needed to make good decisions. This is more of a critique of modern media, than of any political direction itself. Even though, there are of course some political parties that use lies more than others.

      Amd I notice that this trend is much more advanced in the USA while it is coming to Europe too.

    Okay. As I’m reading the comments, they mainly divide to:

    • Conservative/leftist meme
    • Boomer humor

    Saying my opinion is useless, so I’ll leave just that. Thanks for reading 🙂

    Yes, but what about upvotes and downvotes?

      It’s attacking the extremes of both and rightfully so

      Why does it have to pick a political side?

      Does it matter for your enjoyment of humour? This seems a general issue, not a left v. right.

      This comment is so depressing. The comic isn’t about politics, it’s just pointing out that human nature is irrational and we’re influenced by how a message is delivered as well as the raw facts. Yet you have to find a political bias in it. Would you feel more positively about the comic if you knew that the author was on “your side”? (Which I’m guessing is the left)
