Isn’t the message the point? Aren’t political cartoons historically the epitome of low-brow art? No one here is writing a thesis on Line Thickness and 17th Century Liberalism Themes In Dilbert.
As in, anything to the left of conservative which is the majority user base of the lemmy community. Yes I’m aware liberals are capitalists still, don’t try to play these stupid games you know what I meant.
You’re asking a question meant to illustrate that I don’t know what I’m talking about because you didn’t understand my original comment or you are trying to discredit me because you believe I’m conservative. I’m not, I just think the meme itself is derivative and doesn’t understand the POV of conservatives. They aren’t convinced gay people have all the money, they just hate LGBT people in general because they’re bigots and believe the economy is shit for different reasons entirely.
Strawman arguments seem to be a commonality everywhere, it’s not really useful outside of circle jerking that you’re smart and no one else is.
The funniest part is how the artist felt the need to write “the left” and “the right” on the characters as if this highly intellectual commentary is too subtle to understand without help. We’ve reached below the point of crappy editorial cartoons.
It is too subtle to understand. Without the labels, they’re just random people and the message is lost. We’re not talking about random dumb dumbs that don’t understand how Western oligarchies work, we’re talking about the conservatives that actively cheer it on.
I think the content is good. The art feels a little rough, not sure if it is a style or not. If the original author is new at this stuff, this is pretty good. Everyone has to start somewhere.
bruh this is the worst 4 panel ive seen this week
Political comics are hard to critique because people see it as an attack on the message and not the abysmal quality.

This is best content on Lemmy this month.
If by ‘worst’ you mean ‘bravest’ and ‘truest’ and ‘most important’ then I agree
Making fun of rightoids sure is brave on this site…
making fun of the right wing is a victimless crime as they don’t believe victims
Making fun of conservatives on a largely liberal-communist website, damn nothing braver than that lol
Aren’t liberals and communists bitter enemies?
Sorry I’ll try to illustrate this better.
Liberal ----> Communist

I’m not trying to play any stupid games, I’m asking you a question.
No need to get rude about it.

I think you are overthinking my comment.
I hear what you’re saying, but this is why words are so important. They have meaning. Especially political ideologies.
Which is why I said liberal to communist. Moderate left to far left.
