But don't you know, abortion is the ultimate evil, because we can't have women have a say in what to do with their own bodies.
Also I will say that they will have the moral high ground, if and when they decide to start giving a shit for those already born.

God that's fascinating how their mind "works"...

(Particularly given that the guy drawn on the left, is drawn sympathetically)

Good to see the Commonweath of Nations doesn't exist for starters... They only dropped the phrase British Empire out of the Commonwealth Games in 1970. I don't think there were guns involved in that.

Now starting the British Empire. Whole fuckload of guns involved in that! (same with founding America).

Home Invaders, evil undead nazi fascists that want your stuff... Death is too good for them.



But let's just take a bigass stroll down irony lane... I'm going to be lazy and wikisnip....
Quote
Fascism views direct action, including political violence and war, as a means to achieve national rejuvenation, spirit and vitality.

They argue that nations and races must purge themselves of socially and biologically weak or degenerate people, while simultaneously promoting the creation of strong people, in order to survive in a world defined by perpetual national and racial conflict.


And so let's get to how fascists viewed sexual freedom, the role of women and abortion shall we?

Quote
To appeal to Italian conservatives, Fascism adopted policies such as promoting family values, including promotion policies designed to reduce the number of women in the workforce limiting the woman's role to that of a mother. The fascists banned literature on birth control and increased penalties for abortion in 1926, declaring both crimes against the state.

...

Italian Fascism pursued what it called "moral hygiene" of youth, particularly regarding sexuality.[194] Fascist Italy promoted what it considered normal sexual behaviour in youth while denouncing what it considered deviant sexual behaviour.[194] It condemned pornography, most forms of birth control and contraceptive devices (with the exception of the condom), homosexuality, and prostitution as deviant sexual behaviour, although enforcement of laws opposed to such practices was erratic and authorities often turned a blind eye.[194] Fascist Italy regarded the promotion of male sexual excitation before puberty as the cause of criminality amongst male youth.[194] Fascist Italy declared homosexuality to be a social disease.[194] Fascist Italy pursued an aggressive campaign to reduce prostitution of young women.[194]

Mussolini perceived women's primary role to be childbearers, while men were warriors, once saying, "war is to man what maternity is to the woman".[195] In an effort to increase birthrates, the Italian Fascist government gave financial incentives to women who raised large families, and initiated policies designed to reduce the number of women employed.[196] Italian Fascism called for women to be honoured as "reproducers of the nation", and the Italian Fascist government held ritual ceremonies to honour women's role within the Italian nation.[197] In 1934, Mussolini declared that employment of women was a "major aspect of the thorny problem of unemployment" and that for women, working was "incompatible with childbearing". Mussolini went on to say that the solution to unemployment for men was the "exodus of women from the work force".[198]



I don't think Fascism is dead. I think it's alive and well, particularly in that cartoon. (Just the shit about fiscal equality or no classes doesn't hold truck with them. They're elitist fascists, and no that's not an oxymoron, even if it does combine two of their favourite pejoratives.)

Remind me again how many people died in war?  How many people were murdered when the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?  Or do they not matter because they're dirty Japs?  I mean, I don't believe in trivializing abortion, but I'm pretty sure this bullshit is trivializing the horrors of war.

Nuclear explosions killed less people than firebombing in Tokyo and Dresden. I consider those events more heinous, especially since Germany was pretty much beat by the time they started the real firebombing campaign.

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

We killed the British Empire in 1781? Really now, I coulda sworn we just defeated them. Why isn't the United Kingdom flying an American flag then? There are still British people.... unless Doctor Who's been lying to me.

Come to that, the war officially ends in 1783 and there still wasn't a British Empire then, there were a few outlying colonies, but the real race for the Empire wouldn't start until the French started poking their noses into India, which doesn't really happen until Napoleon becomes Emperor.

In fact, the Empire doesn't really exist until the 19th Century.
I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley!

Hey we haven't had racist Finnish comics here in a while. Let me fix that:


This needs some translation. The asian guy has a sign saying "Jobs for everyone" (because asians are all hardworking, get it?) The black guy is saying that the asian is insane (because they don't work, in fact they only come to Finland to take advantage of our social security and benefits to refugees.) And the third one, a gypsy wearing traditional gypsy clothing declares that he will kill the asian. (Because gypsies don't work and they are all violent criminals. Bonus points for the way he talks in a stereotypical way.)


No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

He didn't even get the stereotypical gypsy dialect right. ("Minä" = "I" should be "Mie")

I think that is an attempt at pants like this:



But now that you mentioned it, I can't unsee it.
