  • It equates trying to achieve a slightly less crushing neoliberal policy (going "left") with literal 9/11. Like, the most lukewarm socdem policies are as damaging as blowing up the twin towers. And it makes no attempts at justifying this comparison; the comic just makes the comparison and expects it to be taken at face value. It's so juvenile that it got a laugh out of me.

    It's one step away from saying "you're a doodoo head if you like your guy; my guy is way better and cool ;)"

  • I mean, that's the work of propaganda. An anticommunist hardly knows what they stand against; and yet they will attack communism, even without knowledge of its terms, inner workings and intellectual history. I agree with you, but I think this phenomenon refers more broadly to the effects of anticommunist propaganda on the peoples of Earth, rather than only the American people. Anti-intelectualism in only part of it. The Americans were only more brutally affected by it, being at the seat of the Empire and all.

    Not really arguing anything; I guess I just wanted to rant for a bit.
