Too obvious to be funny, but i still wanted to draw a shitpost.

    Exaggeration would be expected and perfectly normal in a political satire comic strip… I really wish i had to use it. Sadly, a joke came here numerous times and wrote itself. Objectively, the only thing i did was to downplay our position a little.

        jesse-wtf What are you even trying to say? That our "brigading" somehow caused them to behave like a racist, homophobe, transphobe, sexist .etc? Look, even most people who's country was invaded don't use it as excuse for this kind of discrimination. And you're talking about some shitposting in political threads?

          I'm saying this makes it look like you think your shit doesn't stink. You're not the bastion of reason it looks like you're trying to present yourself as.

          I have no idea how you got to the interpretation you put there.

            Okay so because we're jerks, this guy isn't a fascist? Is that your position?

                  Just because someone is wrong doesn't make the other person right. American politics are a great demonstration of that.

                  Similarly just because someone is a giant piece of shit doesn't mean someone else is incapable of being crappy. I don't know how it reads differently without assuming I'm incapable of understanding that.

                    There are a lot of people who think being civil with bigots is as bad as being the source of bigotry itself. Civility with everyone is not a universal value.

                    Some people take great offense when they see someone viewing bigotry as a failure in civility, a moral failing on the same level as being uncivil to bigots.

                If somebody made a comic about my political views an behavior and only exaggerated/downplayed one aspect instead of going full strawman like the usual? I'd subscribe to their Patreon.

                No, I would have a much more subdued reaction, probably just roll my eyes and continue scrolling, because communists in the west are used to slander.
