Meanwhile yellow shirt guy is the same dumbass with an American flag on his oversized pick up truck, and thin blue line bumper sticker, like 3 Trump stickers, and a three percenter sticker. Right wing libertarians are some of the biggest bootlickers I have ever seen.
They're getting used to the taste for when the only thing that's safe to eat is boiled shoe leather because the FDA and the USDA have been completely eliminated.
The 'no step on snek' version is a sarcastic take on the original though, I think you might be interpreting this comic incorrectly
PCM background implies otherwise.
PCM?
r/PoliticalCompassMeme background. Those colors are used for the two "libertarian" quadrants.
PCM was being run by Nazis to normalize fascist rhetoric.
Good detail, now I don't quite know what to think either. Do the details seem incongruent?
Yes, it's a clear libertarian/anarchist unity message. I don't think the author was aware of the purpose of the PCM subreddit, you needed to be fairly terminally online to know what was happening on the Nazi-angle.
Generally speaking what it mostly did was populize the quadrant colors as political identification symbols and spread the shorthands. Red/blue=authleft/authright, green/yellow=libleft/libright, etc.
Possibly, I won't deny I could be interpreting it wrong
This is a function of the establishment right wing having usurped traditional conservativism (and their broad values), and replaced it with the nihilistic morality-free Capitalist libertarianism of the millionaires and billionaires funding "conservative" think tanks.
So there's no genuine right wing anymore. There's a conservative shell with anti-state, pro-Capitalist Libertarianism in the middle. All just so taxes and regulations could be lowered on the wealthy and their corporations.
It's a subversive attack on the nations of the world, and now governments have self-weakened and invited in their own doom and corruption rather than taking a principled stance by fighting it.
It's truly an ongoing attack on the nation.
