The right likes to refer to "wokeness" as "cultural Marxism" now.

The word Marxism has historically been demonized by Red Scare propaganda, so the right likes to use the word to refer to anything that they don't like, like a Boogeyman of sorts.

"Cultural Marxism" is a specific reference to the Nazi term "Cultural Bolshevism" btw

Anyone have a link to a compilation?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Here's a website that appears to have all of them:

And here's an old book with the collection from Michigan State University:

Thank you!

Edit: well, after a quick Look through of Mr. Everett True it appears the OP comic is one of the few supporting a more legit view. Otherwise he’s just a selfish and violent jerk with no tact or desire to be publicly tolerant of things everyone does to get along in society. He doesn’t mind cracking skulls over irritations. All couched in the premise of “that’s how we all really feel” to make it OK. He’s into shaming and beating kids, throwing women into prison for whatever irritation their kid generates, etc.

Yeah, this was indeed one of the only good ones.

The rest is just complaining about anything.

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ooooh there's a bunch from this series. Thanks!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

There really is so much. According to wikipedia, it ran for 20 years until 1927, then was basically forgotten until some paper started reprinting them in the 1980s.

I'm trying to spread them out as best as I can.

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I see there's a few books. Both older, scanned, archived online and new from Amazon.

I've seen restreams for Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes, I wonder if anyone's doing Pogo yet. I wonder if I could set that up with minimum required maintenance...

If I've told them once, I've told them a thousand times.

Never call chicks broads.

The lesson I've learned is keep out True's reach

People really used to brawl back in the day, fr fr.

Broads and dames.
To boost attendance at games in Ebbets Field back in the 1940s, the Brooklyn Dodgers started with the "Ladies Night" concept, and supposedly things got rowdier and louder - by a long shot - on those occasions than on any other, regular ol' night.
