Yeah this comic reeks of manufactured gender war content

The wording is not just wording. Directly quoting a Nazi slogan would be an unambiguous endorsement of the Nazis. So far the administration behaves in ways that are like the Nazis, but they do not open fly swastika flags, etc.

So to say that I’m splitting hairs about wording, to me, feels the same as if an article said “Trump flies Nazi flag” and the flag is the thin blue line flag. Yes, you can make a good argument that the thin blue flag stands for the same thing as the Nazi’s flag, but surely, however alarming it would be for him to fly a thin blue line flag, it should be more alarming for him to fly the literal Nazi flag. It feels as though you’re saying something like “you’re just splitting hairs over the colors and shapes on the flag, the meaning is the same”. But clearly the meaning is not quite the same - the colors and shapes on the flag DO have additional meaning that changes the urgency of the situation. The actions of the administration are horrible, the phrase on the podium is horrible, but I think there is still a substantial difference in what constitutes a reasonable response to it that depends on whether it is an actual Nazi quote or not. And in my hypothetical situation, a headline like “Trump flies Nazi flag” would be a blatant falsehood and misinformation, regardless of the underlying symbolic content of the flag he flew.

Thank you for being polite and not calling me a bot or whatever else. It’s valuable to talk with level headed people to adjust my ongoing measure of the risk of staying here and the urgency of leaving.

“This post which makes untrue claims isn’t misinformation because it’s heart is in the right place”

Behold: how conservatives became blindly accepting of any information as long as it fits their views

Its never okay to spread objectively false information. If they were directly quoting Nazis, I would be on the first plane out of here, leaving behind my family and all my property. When I first read this, my heart jumped, because I thought that’s what I now I had to do.

But then I see that it isn’t true. Yes, this is alarming and horrible, but do you really think it wouldn’t be any more alarming if they were directly quoting Nazi slogans?

For people trying to decide whether to leave the country in the next 6-8 months, vs. Drop everything and evacuate now even if it means leaving a lot of stuff behind, there is a big difference between the administration directly quoting Nazi slogans vs inventing their own slogans that suggest the same behaviour but not actually yet acting on it.

Also, no matter what, it’s not a Nazi slogan. That means that calling it a Nazi slogan IS objectively false. That’s not splitting hairs, that’s pointing out that the post is literally spreading a lie. In these times it is very important to preserve the truth, since it’s so hard to find reliable info. Blurring the lines between truth and falsehood is how the administration puts people in a state of paralysis where they aren’t sure what the correct reaction to things is.

It is always important not to spread objectively false information.

I feel like this joke would be a lot funnier without any of the bumper stickers, just playing on the Subaru meme. Or maybe just a single pride flag.

As it is, each bumper sticker seems like an additional layer of desperation from the artist to make sure you get their joke. Which isn’t particularly clever or funny to begin with tbh…

Where does it mention the “one of ours, all of yours” quote?

What’s misleading is that the phrase was never used by Nazis, but the content of the post says it is. That’s both false and misleading

Yeah, mods should probably delete the OP post imo… Its pretty bad to allow something blatantly false to spread like this. Especially looking at the upvote ratio.

Since this has been identified as misinformation by many people in the thread, please delete this post or update the title to reflect that.

Edit: I am extremely confused about the downvotes, would love to discuss the reasoning for it with someone.

Mrw my coworker tells me they have to use the bathroom during a meeting and I start violently vomiting from the visceral images and imagined scent of their shit and piss. And then everyone acts like I’M the weird one

This is OUR biome

The bribing without consequences is what might give someone with as much implicit access to wealth as Maduro a chance lol

He gets a lot of shit for this and I do think he’s a pretty annoying guy, but I just now developed a head canon for this where he does it on purpose whenever someone he personally knows is being a narcissist. And so it’s like a super petty passive aggressive way to piss them off. I could get behind that tbh. Can you imagine? Every time your annoying brother calls and asks to borrow more money, you post some quote about greed to your huge social media following. Lol.

I must not try to change the morons.

Changing the morons is the time-killer.

Changing the morons is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face the stupidity of the morons.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the morons have gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

Maybe, but at least I’m not posting big tiddy engagement bait anti-AI content on X of all places

Every time I see a comic that is pointlessly cringe it’s adamtots

Thank you so much for commenting this. It’s so annoying to see both the original screenshot and so many exchanges in here either playing dumb or actually being dumb about WHY they see PBS as propaganda. As always, people are more interested in appearing to preach epic gotcha wins to their own choir, while totally sweeping the real meaning of their opponent’s statement under the rug. It’s not being nice and learning to read that the right takes issue with PBS over, it’s race, gender, and sexuality issues. But rather than respond to them on that more difficult ground, the masses choose to go for pointless low hanging fruit like “lol so you hate kindness???”, and then congratulate the OP for owning the right, meanwhile the right is totally unphased by that completely off-topic mark-missing response. And then we wonder why the right sees us as a bunch of circlejerky bubble-world morons.

This is fucking crazy, way crazier than it’s getting credit for. Very sentient behavior ngl
