Barnes and Noble on the cross is chefs-kiss

Borders died for our sins

but in true cracker fashion, we must create a second false prophet, portrayed inaccurately, solely for the purpose of hero worship, and never bothering to point out that the emperor is clotheless

No crying lady liberty. Not canon.

The spectre of communism got her in this one, that's how dangerous the little free libraries are. If you see one, you know you're in a "no go" zone and it's already too late for you

Not enough labels on everything, I can't distinguish what I should fear or not

Including the blood drops onto the amerikkka would be hero-of-socialist-labor

[-] seeking_perhaps@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

is it praxis to go around the rich neighborhood near me putting communist propaganda in every LFL?

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I like to put small food items and toiletry packages in them too. Practical things for unhoused persons, and you can include some reading materials with that.

"Book Marx" is some legendary kelly order-of-lenin

I assumed this was made by a lefty to mock conservatives, but the comments have me confused. Did someone actually make this as anti-left propaganda?

[-] MoreAmphibians@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

This was made by "Kelly" who is a political cartoonist for "The Onion" which is a satirical website. So it is satire.

HONEST CORPORATE SALES stonks-down

amerikkka

anti-communism : liberal :: anti-capitalism : leftist

conservatives are liberals too, even if they hate it when we point it out to them

I tried to explain Kelly cartoons to my dad once, the best I could come up with is that he casts his personal petty grievances into society wide problems. So there really is no unified underlying ideology. But then as another layer it's writer is (i believe) anonymous, for the onion, so its not serious anyway.

Once I described Kelly as like if the magazine that Rorschach reads was a real thing and had a cartoon section.

The cartoonist is Ward Sutton, who also does comics for the New Yorker. He also animated the intro to the show Strangers with Candy. He's a somewhat well known normal type political cartoonist outside of his Kelly persona.

I regret to inform you that he's kind of a lib, but he's one I can forgive since he gave the world this face sicko-hair
