They are comparable in that every politician of any note is going to be caricatured, in political cartoons, the media in general, and in memes.

I’m not interested in Xi being caricatured, but obviously people are going to do it, and not (only) because he’s not white, but because he’s a politician of note. What caricature of Xi would disinterested people consider to not be racist? Perhaps Papa Smurf (just for argument’s sake as I see no resemblance)?

I can’t really disagree, though, that the Pooh’s yellowness is a red flag.

Do I ever wish it would, because it still pops up on lemmy.ml, and then I have to figure out how to deal with it.

I’m not a visual artist and suck at verbalizing such things. If I’m ever put in front of a forensic sketch artist, they’re never gonna find the killer.

It was a military-industrial-girl-boss project. Three women, loads of lies and the destruction of Libya

Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power were the three principal advocates of war against Libya in 2011, setting the North African nation on a free fall ever since. Demonstrations broke out in some Libyan cities against the government of late Muammar Gaddafi in February 2011, in what became known as the “Arab Spring” that engulfed the region. However, Libya’s promised spring turned into a destructive autumn during which Gaddafi was murdered on 20 October, 2011, and Libya was left anguishing in lawlessness, courtesy of the three women.

Samatha Power currently runs USAID, nominated for the position by Biden. Until recently Susan Rice ran the Domestic Policy Council, also picked by Biden.

I just assume it’s some mid-century Continental compatible left philosophical wankery.

New World Order + Great Replacement Theory = Jewtankieorcs flooding the zone with brown babies

I stopped trying to make it make sense after seeing this airport book.

It made it to #1 on the NYT bestseller list.

It came from Judeo-Bolshevism and Cultural Bolshevism which begat Cultural Marxism and Great Replacement. I guess the Russian orcs are the fascists now because fuck it nothing means anything.

I don’t correct them, but I do inject the correct spelling in my reply.

George Takei Upset Some People By Blaming Russia For Spreading The Sexual Assault Claim Against Him

In a move that evoked shades of Kevin Spacey coming out in response to sexual assault allegations against him, Takei blamed Russia for amplifying the the male model’s accusations. In doing so, Takei tweeted (and subsequently deleted) a chart that purportedly showed Russian bot-activity trends over 48 hours. The chart originated from SecuringDemocracy.org and showed “Takei” and “George Takei” high atop the trending list. Takei claimed that these bots attacked his Facebook page, and his team had to “ban all traffic from within the Russian federation.”
