Oh, that's the similarity? LMAO

That's not a similarity. This is a similarity:


.

Re-appropriating american symbology that was used pre fascism-nazism is very good actually.

While "forward" with the face looking at nothing, toward an unrealized horizon of marxist horrors, is just communism.

The "thingies" Lincoln has his hands on, later became the symbol of fascism (fasci littori), literally gave the name to fascism. Fasci is bundles.


One of the first coins of fascism


If the right today re-used that, it wouldn't be a fascist symbology, rather the re-appropriation of what is american

y'all forgot about the great leap forward

They didn't

Sure, sure, just like the Swastika is an ancient Hindu symbol and just means peace. That's what the Aryan Brothers told me.

Once a symbol becomes associated with a certain movement you're going to have a hard time claiming that you're just trying to re-appropriate it, especially when you're constantly being accused of being like that movement. Best to stay away from that symbol, unless you're trying to use it as a dog whistle of course.

Oh, and this whole "forward" thing is pretty lol. You have to have a pretty active and biased imagination to make that connection.

Kamala Harris


This is by a large margin the dumbest thing you have ever posted. I'm really hoping for your sake that it wasn't meant to be serious but I'm starting to doubt it based on the follow up.

The nazi swastiska is indeed on the other direction than the hindu swastiska so the problem doesn't exist there.

And if a hindu party decided to use swastiskas as their political symbol it wouldn't be a nazi dog-whistle. Ofc it would be for other cultures.

Now the eagle is america.




If you were to ask a random person, I'd venture that they say that the MAGA eagle is more evocative of the Nazi eagle than the American eagle. Anyway, I'm done discussing this, as Willd points out, your commie comparison was a pretty risible effort.

No, don't stop him. I'd love for him to dig deep into his bag of "similarities to evil imagery".

It in no way implicates him as the type of person who uses these to justify personal beliefs

I'd venture to say that the answer will map 1:1 to political preference

While ignoring his own side actually doing the thing he is criticising. Always projection with these guys.

Oh, I forgot, when they do it, it's "re-appropriation". Silly me.

Find me a leftist political symbol with "forward" pre russian revolution in american political history and i will accept Harris is re-appropriating american cultural symbology as well

WTF? Nobody is claiming that. They're saying your attempt to compare the two based on a single word and some vague bullshit about staring into the horizon is ****ing laughable. Do better.

Based on that description, a picture of the captain of a ship on deck looking ahead and signaling "forward" is commie imagery.


What we're all missing is that it's clearly an acknowledgment that Andrew Yang is the true power behind the Democratic Party.

That might actually be more believable than it being an allusion to anything Communist.

Weird that the lincoln statue inspired a movement from 19th century, since it was built around 1920.
Funny also that this bundle thing goes back to roman era.

The more you know.

I don't recall Yang going with the vague look over the horizon and the forward in the pic, and i stanned for him when he pushed for basic income , and was active on yang reddit

Fixed your link.

So what should that tell you about your description? Hint: a picture of a captain on the deck of a ship is not commie imagery.

uh? fascism started in the "biennio rosso", the 2 years after ww1. It isn't a "movement from teh 19th century". Mussolini was a socialist leader, the editor of the socialist main newspaper, one of your guys (and tainted by that for his whole miserable life, once a socialist always a socialist), and seceded from the socialist party because he was pro war unlike them (while agreeing on everything else) in 1919 lol.

Lincoln memorial was completed in 1922 (when mussolini took power), with designs ready since 1914.

Yes the bundle goes back to the roman era, america is the roman empire rebuilt in the modern world (as per many such quotes by the founding fathers), fascism abused the symbol and that would allow real americans to retake it in the future without any sham.

hint: the forward with looking into nothingness is. It's the purest imagery of "progressivism" as an inherent moral value, a core pillar of communism. Change for change sake. The deep hatred for the status quo and tradition. The idea that what is and was is evil , and only the Party TM can give you what you want.


This guy reads poster images like a pro but can't figure out actual words like "price gouging".

which don't mean anything at all in the contest of competitive markets, so what's your objection?

Describe "looking forward into nothingness" for the class, please. Like, we don't see what specifically the person is looking at? That's probably true of 100% of portraits.

portraits don't have "forward" captions pre USSR (afaik)

Ah, so we're back to use of the word "forward". Your whole thesis here rests on use of the word "forward". Ok then.

forward + the horizon looking vague gaze, as I wrote from the beginning.

In a political message for consequential elections / propaganda
