Ew "Difendere la famiglia tradizionale" under a blonde anime girl makes me want to hurl.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
Also greed
You're absolutely crazy if you honestly believe that. First of all, talking of "Russia" as a constant for the past 80 years when it's gone from part of the USSR, to liberal-minded capitalist country with talks of joining the EU, to fascist dictatorship just in the last 35 years. There's absolutely no "long term plan to destabilize Europe" in Russia for the past 80 years, and you're being conspiracist and throwing history out the window.
Secondly, as sadly shown in the early 20th century, Europe is more than capable of creating its own fascist movements. You say Russia has been conspiring to push fascism in Europe, but I'm Spanish and the USSR was the only country which helped the Republican struggle against fascism in the Spanish civil war, and after the fascists won in Spain (with the help of the Nazis and the italian fascists while the rest of Europe did nothing) and WW2 ended, fascist Spain was perfectly joined into the international community just a few decades afterwards.
The current far-right movements in Europe are learning their lessons from Trump and Bolsonaro, and have received most of their help and funding from within Europe and from the US rather than from Russia. They're the consequence of one and a half decades of austerity policy, where the socialdemocrats have been complicit in austerity as much as the conservative parties have been. And after corruption schemes being discovered in most christian-conservative parties in Europe, a segment of right wing that used to vote for them but lost their trust, now votes for other right wing parties, including far right. Fascism isn't a tool from Russia to destroy Europe, it's Europe destroying itself from within to further the interests of the wealthy elites.
Tbf, russia is currently financing fascist and right-wing populist movements and parties all over Europe, e.g the AfD in Germany or the FPÖ in Austria.
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.
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.
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.
