Some context:

After Elmo's venture into posting anime stuff on Twitter, this feels rather tame I guess. Or I'm just too jaded to care about this timeline any longer.

Ew "Difendere la famiglia tradizionale" under a blonde anime girl makes me want to hurl.

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

I'm pretty sure the anime girl is meant to be her

Yes, sure, that's the implication. But actually they just stole artwork representing the character Mari Ohara from the Love Live series.

It's such a tainting of an unrelated art piece with their inhumane ideology.

Wait, she refers to herself in the third person? I hate her even more now.

Undergroundoverground hates that too

You're the hero we need. Thank you for your service. o7

She refers to her drawing in manga style in 3rd person. Doing that in 1st person would be wild.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's weirder in third person ("a drawing of myself manga-style" is not that weird to say), but regardless, I think the page is actually managed by someone else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ah, now I get the point thank you. I thought it was when she speaks of the drawing as 'she', which would be strange in 1st person. TY

I need context

This meme has gone at least a mile over my head

I have become so desensitized to the festering dumpster sludge media that the window treatment shocks me the most in this picture

Isn't that the room from the milk nazi meme ?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

That image is absolutely cursed. Don't like it at all.

US conservatives look exactly the same, except without the fursuits.

For like 80 years, the west prepared for war with Russia. Russia played the long, quiet game and just parasitized our politics, and our economies. They’re winning without ever firing a shot. It’s impressive, albeit infuriating.

Russia hasn't done nearly as much damage as the capitalist class in America has.

You give Russia too much credit.

Europe and USA put themselves on this situation all by their own stupidity.

That's right, there were no flaws in the political system invented 250 years ago and only outside actors in the last 20 years led to a conservative party vs a fascist party.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

At no point was I suggesting that we haven’t caused many of our own problems. I’m simply saying that Russia is exploiting those problems for their own benefit.

Russia is neither winning nor is their disinformation campaigns that successful. This is because despite their best efforts, when they needed their propaganda to work the most, it backfired and the west is more united than ever. Not only that but the country is basically wrecked due to the invasion of Ukraine

They put one of their assets in the White House, and you think they’re failing? They might do it a second time for fucks sake!

Real conservatives: *shows school teacher*

For context schools are ultraconservative social institutions. That's what they were designed to do - preserve knowledge across generations.

All nazis that claim to be conservatives are actually nazis, not conservatives.
