Wars and proxy wars since 1776.

EDIT: The post is not an endorsement of the USSR. You can now stop fighting for your “team” and start defending the anti-war values you claim to uphold.

    If you unironically look at this image and do not understand how it is perceived as in support of the USSR, then the school system is worse off than even I realized.

    Yes, you did not explicitly say it. But the natural inference is that these guys on the right, the USSR and the anarchists, are correct. To shamelessly sit there with your hands folded over like “well I’m only suggesting they’re right about this one specific thing, no one else should ever make any deeper inferences or assumptions, and it’s their fault if they do,” is either incredibly dishonest, or incredibly stupid.

      I dunno, I think that despite the common reading of the format, there is an added layer of irony to this one.

      “these guys on the right” are admonishing the US for being warmongering while literally holding a gun to the back of the left astronaut’s head.

      Even if you want to argue this “wasn’t by authorial intent”, to pretend that dosen’t paint “these guys on the right” as hypocrites is either incredibly dishonest, or incredibly stupid.
