What the fuck does this shit have to do with subverting the message of stonetoss comics in a way that would be counter to his narratives? Isn’t that the fucking point of the sub?

That’s literally the only justification for using fascist imagery: directly using it to intimidate or parody fash (i.e. burning of the swastika, putting Nazi patches on enemies or cowards in depictions).

What are you even saying here that requires the parody of a fascist webcomic to say? Because, honestly? This is something that stonetoss would probably fucking post in a different context. The right-wing Putin simping probably being the only fucking barrier between this comic’s message being used in an actual fucking stonetoss comic.

You know, when you use fascist symbolism to post anticommunist messages, it’s no longer parody: it’s just fascist agitprop. You’re doing the work for them.

Shit’s bleak :pain: we’ve got the same motherfuckers who killed Rosa co-opting the label of the KPD resistance to the Nazis. No language is safe from co-opting, those who would be fascist collaborators hiding under the label of antifascism. Words no longer have meaning, we live in a post-definition era. All that matters is subtext and action.

    You do not, and I fucking passionately beg of you, have to hand it to fascist paramilitaries.

    Fuck, let's do some due diligence here. The whole basis of the "clean wehrmacht" myth is rested upon the idea that the SS and Einsatzgruppen etc were basically "paramilitaries" rather than "real militaries." Oh, and they were definitely fascist.

    Oh no. Oh no. :( The west combined them again.
