Dude, he's a flat-up holocaust denier.

By his own words.

Anyway, this is the guy you admire so much:

Richard Wagner was a flagrant antisemite. A true believer in Nazi principles before a Nazi party existed. Hitler used Wagner music to promote his agenda.

The Israeli Philharmonic plays Wagner. Not to praise the man. That is completely irrelevant to something else. The beauty or fidelity of that music.

Irregardless of the man's politics, the artwork is noteworthy.

Police Officer Michael Crum told WPVI-TV that Patriot Front members felt threatened and "literally ran away from the people of Philadelphia."

Most of Stonetoss's comics are directly aimed at denying the holocaust and punching down on minority groups.

Meanwhile those characters do not look anything like Jack and Jackie. And yet everyone knows who they are suppose to be - and where. Nature of that art says nothing about hate, holocaust denial, or demeaning minorities. It is says something interesting about the artwork. And our preceptions.

Political targets of Stonetoss remain a completely different and unrelated topic.

So if I throw a brick at your bellybutton and it hits you in the head, you can't complain because that's "a completely different and unrelated topic".

That is a completely different legal issue. It has no relationship to artwork that everyone knows as Jack and Jackie.

Since you cannot compartmentalize completely unrelated issues, then you are resorting to violence. Another separate issue that is irrelevant to Stonetoss, the artwork, or a holocaust.

Apparently you are angry about something totally unrelated. How should we compartmentalize you?

Every day is a new disappointment.

So many disappointments, all compartmentalized, so that each does not breed..

Sounds like an invasive species. Apparently another thing imported from China.

Staged? Spontaneous? *shrug*

Looks staged. Gotta have that outrage.

I've seen little green "autofocus boxes" in footage from military planes, do they have them in any home security cameras? Seems like that would be a feature you would want to avoid, since it obstructs what you are trying to capture.

If you go to youtube and search for "home security camera footage" none of them have green auto-focus boxes.

So is propaganda to get flag wavers pissed off at flag desecrators? Or propaganda to get liberals pissed off at fake-video-making flag wavers?

Flint · 7/12/2021 3:21 pm

propaganda by do-nothing centrists to get flag-wavers and flag-burners at each other's throats
...or...
propaganda by corporate overlords to get flag-wavers and centrists united against flag-burners

Flint · 7/12/2021 3:30 pm

propaganda by "fake news" believers to discredit the concept of information
...or...
propaganda by corporate media to discredit crowd-sourced video footage

Flint · 7/12/2021 3:34 pm

propaganda by privacy advocates to prey on the emotions of parents
...or...
propaganda by purveyors of security systems and little flags

Is there suppose to be joke somewhere?

Absolutely! And it's high-larious!

The free man mocks the commie dupe about the failings of communism.

The free man realizes those failings are actually successes.

The free man becomes a commie to further those successes.

Seems obvious to me...and high-larious.

Infiltration is a two-way street.

glatt · 7/14/2021 10:46 am

At first I didn't see the joke. I guess I was a little slow. But now that you explain it, I see there IS a joke. So thank you!

I just don't think it's very funny, because 1) the punchline is killing people whose politics you disagree with, and I can't get behind that, and 2) who is promoting communism today? Is anyone outside of North Korea and China? It seems like the whole premise of the joke is a strawman. There are Western fans of socialism, sure, but communism?

I guess if you believe in the strawman, then poking the strawman is fun. So I suppose I can see how somebody might find it funny.
