This flat out looks like Nazi shit.

Edit: for more context, here's why the green hand is significant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_in_Islam

Thanks for explaining that. I was trying to figure out if it was some weird reference to Wicked.

Is there any racist symbology behind the hand being feminine with black nail polish?

[–] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I don't think so but I've seen the "Jewish hand" trope and it's usually a fuxked-up crone's hand type thing. Just some more dehumanization.

Edit: found an example:

The commie hand was just trying to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa. More evidence of the fascist's contempt for human progress and worship of a mythical past smfh

I love too that they literally just, correctly identified the imperial hierarchy*. Like yeah, that's the order they're gonna have to be taken out in. They know their Empire perfectly.

(*plus Italy for some reason??)

Realistically Taiwan is far more closely linked to China culturally and economically than the west, as a matter of fact they're extremely dependent on trading with the mainland.

Palestinians free themselves from genocide

Decide to invade Italy

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (4 children)

what does that even mean. If Israel leaves Gaza Palestine will try and conquer Italy?

In a certain respect, I think this can be correct, but why the fuck is Italy part of the chain? Greece would make more sense.

That said, I generally view the fall of vassal states as a consequence of the failing imperial core rather than a cause. Israel, Taiwan, SK, all I think are going to hang on until the imperial world order crumbles for other reasons.

I think France falling before Germany and the US falling last among the core is potentially accurate, but the UK is basically a US vassal like Australia and Canada are, so again I think it would slightly outlive the US, all the more likely for being Anglo (whereas the ones previously mentioned other than Israel have a little more reason to oppose white supremacy).

[–] Sinister@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Italy has the second largest heavy industry behind germany, it hosts a lot of very significant NATO military bases, it has an large fleet, it is very active in meddling in Africa. Just because they pissy on the Germans during 2008, doesn't mean its without claws or bite.

They may not be a military powerhouse or anything, but Italy is pretty influential in the Medierranean. One of the main GLADIO countries

I was incredibly confused about why they were using a 19th century flag of Andorra here between France and the UK.

At least the digital graffiti (digiffiti, if you will) makes it clear that Gaza is fighting the US.
