Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn’t really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric “asshole flag”.

Edit: the sample size isn’t that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters… (I’d show data from the US too, but you guys haven’t yet learned how to count to three in politics… So data is severely lacking.)

    The reason these people flock to the far right is because they don’t see any other options.

    Yeah… because they’ve been indoctrinated into accepting the right-wing view of the world since birth - after all, we are all “westerners” here, aren’t we? We are “democratic” (which we’re not), we are “civilized” (which we’re not), we are “free” (which we’re not), we are “non-racist” (which we’re pretty damn obviously not) and we are “individualist” (which, again, we’re not). You can blame the memers and the people calling nazis nazis all you want… but they are not the people responsible for laying the groundwork that allows right-wing ideology to flourish and fester. That’s something that is built into white - oops, I meant to say “western” - society. That is why they are so easily triggered into supporting right-wing politics.

    And then we haven’t even started talking about all the wealth and privilege that is funding all of this right-wing ideology - but sure… let’s blame memes.
