reposting classic Kelly for the libs of the lemmyverse

Barnes and Noble on the cross is 
Borders died for our sins
but in true 
fashion, we must create a second false prophet, portrayed inaccurately, solely for the purpose of hero worship, and never bothering to point out that the emperor is clotheless
Double crossed.
Reminds me of this one https://twitter.com/KartoonistKelly/status/1626696433666785283/photo/1
No crying lady liberty. Not canon.
The spectre of communism got her in this one, that's how dangerous the little free libraries are. If you see one, you know you're in a "no go" zone and it's already too late for you
Not enough labels on everything, I can't distinguish what I should fear or not
those "Little Free Libraries" are usually virtue signalling used in racist petite bourgeois suburbs

“The Free Little Library” was never intended to actually provide books to those who need them, but to give affluent neighborhoods a homey, quirky, intellectual, benevolent aesthetic.
In Denver, the same neighborhoods that have them are the ones that vote to make it illegal for homeless people to exist, because they don’t like the idea of homeless people being near their homes.
This has been an issue in Denver for YEARS, and yet the same neighborhoods that vote for these bans have SO many Free Little Libraries.
THEY LIVE IS A DOCUMENTARY 👁️
I bet nazis had something similar, extremely soy attempt at resolving the contradictions of class society. Literary Karens are just as disgusting as any illiterate fascists!!!
I live in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Portland. An intentional community provided designs and tools in exchange for materials. About 20 houses built these together, then the community helped install them.
We live across the street from a park. In the summer, especially, unhoused people - often with kids - stop by to take books back to their cars and trailers.
My wife is a social worker, and the library has been a great pretext for her to engage with folks, help them find services faster than if they started at the front door, and for us to give them food and water.
We're not trying to reconcile jack shit. We're trying to share and be helpful, and have succeeded a little.
This is a hexbear injoke btw, it's a reference to an old post made by a hexbear power user who was well known for getting really angry about minor things and consistently finding some way to claim they're fascist
I'd be immensely suspicious of anyone who actually agreed with the quoted bits I posted.
Well then I'm sorry I muttered "fuck this guy."
@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net can we get the communism reaper
Including the blood drops onto the 
would be 
I want the corpo suit hanging on a cross too lol
is it praxis to go around the rich neighborhood near me putting communist propaganda in every LFL?
I like to put small food items and toiletry packages in them too. Practical things for unhoused persons, and you can include some reading materials with that.
Thank you.
G-GULP!
"Book Marx" is some legendary 
I assumed this was made by a lefty to mock conservatives, but the comments have me confused. Did someone actually make this as anti-left propaganda?
This was made by "Kelly" who is a political cartoonist for "The Onion" which is a satirical website. So it is satire.
HONEST CORPORATE SALES
anti-communism : liberal :: anti-capitalism : leftist
conservatives are liberals too, even if they hate it when we point it out to them
I tried to explain Kelly cartoons to my dad once, the best I could come up with is that he casts his personal petty grievances into society wide problems. So there really is no unified underlying ideology. But then as another layer it's writer is (i believe) anonymous, for the onion, so its not serious anyway.
Once I described Kelly as like if the magazine that Rorschach reads was a real thing and had a cartoon section.
The cartoonist is Ward Sutton, who also does comics for the New Yorker. He also animated the intro to the show Strangers with Candy. He's a somewhat well known normal type political cartoonist outside of his Kelly persona.
I regret to inform you that he's kind of a lib, but he's one I can forgive since he gave the world this face 
We have but we need the communism version
