Notice that China is the only group represented by an animal. My theory is that the cartoonist spent hours trying to draw Xi but every time their editor refused to publish their extremely racist caricature.

you know who divided the world? No. not the people with the power to divide the world. not the imperialists. not the settler-colonialists, not the capitalists. no no no. those people never divide the world. the only people capable of dividing the world are the occupied, the colonized, and the proletariat. The powerless are clearly the only people with the power to divide the world, and they are certainly responsible for said division.

international-community-1international-community-2porky-point the international community told me so!

The countries who had well documented conferences and international treaties literally dividing up the world: "STOP DIVIDING UP THE WORLD, BROWN PEOPLE!!!"

BBC famously pro China anti Britain "news" source

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They always give the game away with the BBC stuff. Smarter right wingers would be increasingly talking about its credibility even as it gets more and more nakedly right-wing. Instead they complain about allowing it to have non-white hosts and not sounding enough like Fox News (even though it increasingly does).

Remember that Ben Shapiro BBC interview where he called their arch conservative ghoul a leftist over some minor disagreement? Good times.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, Andrew Neil. A man who has been on what you could call the proto-Trumpian right of British politics since the 80s. Who had an apartment in Trump tower. Who has been funded by many of thr same US billionaires that Shapiro gets funding from. Who has been the editor and force behind The Spectator, the insane but influential politics magazine that regularly runs articles like the famous 'In defence of the Luftwaffe' one.

Andrew Neil is basically what Shapiro should aspire to become, taking his ghoulish place in the epicenter of the mainstream, but he never will because he cries and pisses his pants at the suggestion of having to argue with anyone but (now mostly imaginary) college students. Ben Shapiro is not a very bright boy.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

my favorite ben moment

it wasn't even something political, the guy was just like, "ben mate, your program's a bit shit."

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

It was over Neil basically saying "What do you say about the claim that your stance on abortion is medieval?"

Idk, a dour German man seems like fair competition for a flying magical creature.

Motherfuckers out here still posting propaganda for the audiences of 1902. Lmfao

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

posting here so that there will be a screenshot of it in a highschooler's 2080 world history class

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

2080 history teacher explaining to my great grandkids the historical significance of pig poop balls.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah the image really does scream "Wartime propaganda showing racist depictions of Palestinians- circa 2023" vibes

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is a work of art, you can just keep looking and finding worse brainworms, it's like hamas is splitting my brain with that big cleaver.

Only one I cant figure out is the one wearing like a medieval cap and robe on the western side.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Cap and robe lady looks like Liberty, the personification of France.

Edit: Just looked it up and the personification's name is Marianne.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Oh, the only personification of france I know is that hot lady in a military uniform from all the german ww1 propaganda.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

The Phrygian Cap is from Antiquity actually nerd

"why are we placed on this side again? Oh right. petrodollars."

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

"The U.N. vote was just 145-7. So let's just put that into 'Murican Freedom Units to see how I should split the globe....

Ah, 50/50! That sounds about right"

"oh fuck marv, i just realized i don't know how to draw a chinese guy without getting really racist with it."

"don't worry bob, i got the perfect solution"

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you think the person who drew this realized they were having to draw a lot more people on the side of Palestine? Do you think they did any self-reflection on that fact?

I know the answer is no, but it's very funny to imagine drawing this and having zero thoughts about one's position.

[–] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

It's part of their persecution fetish, there's nothing oppressors and their allies/sycophants love more than believing they're "standing tall I'm the face of such advesity," or whatever lies they tell themselves.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

It really is 2003

[–] MoreAmphibians@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who's the person with the university dress and hat.?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like the Harvard emblem. Probably a reference to the Harvard students who released a student condemning Israel and as a result were doxxed and blacklisted.

it's so fuckin funny like the ivys exert levels of surveillance and harassment against SJP not seen since the anti-war movement of the 60s and then they're like "why are our students not standing with Israel???"

i like how the UN is just sort of casually thrown in there as though it's a building and not a global institution for representing all the nations of the earth.

the honkey genocide doing nations and their client states VS. everybody else in the region, intellectuals, people with cameras, and... (likely everyone else on the planet)

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It's a 50:50 split!

On my side: Seven people

On your side: Also seven people (one of whom represents over 100 people)

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

They got a little creative with China and didn't make Xi a panda

Putin exhibiting serious smuglord energy

[–] FoolishFool@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I'm siding with the guys who have a fucking dragon.

Also: I like how the U.N. is on the "bad guys" side lol, implying the rest of the world is evil.

okay, and? i only see cool people with palestine. And the Hamas guy is holding a baby too they're such a good parent.

Although fuckin weird the UN is over there.

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I like how Uncle Sam is about the shove G.I. Joe into the abyss.

BBC, notorious for being supportive of Arabs, Muslims, and other marginalized people in the west

Least racist comic grillman

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My theory is that the cartoonist spent hours trying to draw Xi but every time their editor refused to publish their extremely racist caricature.

(CW: Racism) Cartoonists be like: "ya gotta give me the fangs I gotta have the fangs"
