I am alone in this but I am god's strongest warrior
this meme got so, so much funnier when I found out it was about a guy who was against building a school
absolutely makes sense that the all american hero is convinded taxation for schools would bankrupt him, though. Like I gotta hand it to them on that front, this tracks on every vector
I mean who makes a habit of painting people positively who they think suck ass
I mean in context, yeah, but if you go by the painting itself without context (and the meme useage seems to support me on this) it's clearly basically a riff on a famous photograph of this guy who might've been cool.
The picture I posted is from 1936 and rockwells painting is from 1943, 100% chance that was how this went. Guy looked at the guy not doing the nazi salute (again, possibly cool) and went his analysis went all of "guy opposed to government good" which isn't wrong given the picture, admittadly, but is otherwise a garbage libertarian take
With all due respect I think you are wrong in this. The photo was taken in Germany and Rockwell would not have necessarily had access to it. There was no internet for photos to instantly cross 5000 miles. I do not believe it was published in the States at all and as far as I can find at a glance it was not published anywhere until the 90s. Even if it was published, it would have to be very famous for Rockwell to surely have seen it, and its fame is very much a post-war thing.
Plus the photo and painting do not really depict analogous things, to me the similarities seem very surface-level. I'd be willing to hear you out if you had more evidence for what you are saying but two things being vaguely similar (which these barely are) does not do it analytically
When my granpappy's school burnt down him and the other kids built a new one, they didn't rely on no government handouts from the school board to build it for them!
*they were paid for by the Free-Government-Money-for-whatever-fund but none of them knew this
Oh god listen to the most recent Citations Needed news brief about how the 49ers (the miners not the football team but also the football team) were part of a government subsidized genocidal land grab in California.
This is the second time in about a week that I make a Simpsons reference and it doesn't land
Does this mean I should stop doing it?
No, it's the Hexbearinos who are wrong
I actually consider myself a simpsons reference connoisseur and I am deeply ashamed about this so if you'd hit me with a link to the reference here I'd be thankful
i mean money don't real and also taxes don't real so I think you're good
EDIT: also thanks

Your efforts are in vain, i'm having so much hot gay sex with baphomet right now
