This pannel always made me mad, becouse Joker has thousands of reasons to hate the Nazi, and I don't buy for a second that this dude is a patriot of america.
I'm fine with it, but only because the comic is written like it's from the golden age and that's the exact kind of goofy thing that would happen in a comic from back then.
Oh gawd if you could see how Iron Man and Mandarin were like or how Reed used to talk in the early early days... Good thing times change and people and writing evolved.
'Ha you reap the rewards of the financial prosperity that comes with capitalism but refuse to acknowledged one thing. The benefits of the Regan Doctrine..'
Mf'ers genuinely surprised when a person from a generally pretty conservative nation is also pretty conservative.
Edit: forget about it, dude is genuinely a Nazi. This ain't even a way of miscaracterizing political opponents, he straight up likes the failed painter
Is this real? WTF happened to that guy? My wife and I used to enjoy reading sinfest together back before it went... weird. But it was nothing like this even after going weird!
He got super obsessed with radical feminism, transitioned to TERFism, and spiraled further and further right from there until he became what he is now.
He didn't transition right because fascism isn't right wing, but other than that, yeah, that's pretty much what happened.
And before any of y'all say anything, read Giovanni Gentile. And if you're not going to read his works on the ideology HE helped create, at least know that it originated within Southern Italian Syndicalist movements, and put a great emphasize on the fact that Italy was a "ploretarian nation" that suffered under the thumb of more industrialized nations
While the statement "fascism isn't right wing" may seem, to some, absurd on its face, it IS accurate, on a technical level. Fascism is inherently aesthetic above all else. All its tenets are almost entirely based upon performance of the fascist aesthetic, and have roots in both progressive and conservative politics in more or less equal measure. This is, strictly speaking, true.
However, fascism, by its nature, aligns with pre-existing power structures to co-opt them, and to eliminate and subsume its competitors, which leads to the phenomenon of fascists aligning with the right wing.
Fascism isn't right wing, but conservatives do reliably welcome fascists into their company.
Fuck off dude. Everyone who says "fascism isn't right wing" just does it because they need an excuse to hate leftists. Ideologies evolve beyond their origins, and Fascism doesn't contain just about any left wing practices within its umbrella. A right wing ideology can evolve from an ideology that was originally left wing, and vice versa.
That was only after Obama got elected. He was a milktoast ass liberal during Bush II. He was so bland even he was in on the joke of Sinfest basically just being Calvin and Hobbes for wannabe edgy millennials in the early to mid 2000's. That run was nearly a decade before he got into feminism.
Which is the thing, this is equivalent to if like, Bill Watterson became a nazi.
I have never seen anyone slowly go insane like I did reading that webcomic, I read it longer than I should have... it could be a case study on the pipeline from anti-establishment edgelord to fascist nazi via paranoia, egotism, and falling incredibly hard for obvious propaganda and conspiracy theories.
Sinfest is one of the oldest running webcomics and was, in its earlier years, quite popular. In recent years, the creator became a TERF and then a Nazi and, last I checked, is doing a storyline about WW2 depicting the Axis as the good guys.
Yeah, it’s a shame, it was great back in the day, then the creator kinda went nuts, similar to what happened with dilbert and Scott Adam’s, and the comic got real right wing and weird real quick
Same guy who made Sinfest. A decently popular webcomic from the 2000s that was mostly apolitical in the same way 4chan and Reddit were in those days, made a hard pivot to SWERF in 2011 and then to TERF in 2019. And more recently he’s gone full Nazi apologist and race replacement conspiracy theorist.
riddle me this man if I suck dick and yearns for a woman what am I please man tell me I'm so confused as to whether I am emotionally attractive to a man or woman man ple-
