    The lesson from Hindenburg that is true to this day is that liberals and “moderates” will ALWAYS side with the fascists against any socialist movement because they serve the same master. Have you been watching capital’s media lap dogs respond to Mamdani’s candidacy? Just keep watching and observe how many “mainstream Democrats” fall in line behind human trash piles Cuomo or Adams.

    Saying the good cop is “better” then the bad cop may be true in some sense but is ultimately irrelevant and distracting. Both are your enemy and if you trust either one, you’ll get fucked every time.

    Sucking up to the Democratic party is like expecting that sucking up to the good cop in the interrogation room will lead to leniency in the courtroom (aka a fool’s gambit)






  • I’m a little confused because the comic only has two panels? Additionally, in the second panel the character’s eyes are still round not any other shape - I don’t see squinting at all? (If you were trying to draw a head that small with eyes that were squinting, you would use angled lines, not circles)

    In any case, I believe the interpretation of the comic intended by the creator is: “Panel one represents what Western liberals say about China. Panel 2 represents the media environment they swim in”



  • The meme assumes the Western context. We don’t trust the US government because of the centuries of violence and exploitation. We had to go looking for that information because it is minimized and buried at every turn by the compliant national media.

    On the other hand, the supposed abuses of the Chinese government are loudly broadcast at every turn. You’ll find if you go looking outside of Western sanctioned sources that all of those criticisms are absurd fabrications.

    Therefore, someone in the western context who says they don’t trust the US or China is trusting the US media for information about China but not about the US itself. Does that help?
