- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Meanwhile yellow shirt guy is the same dumbass with an American flag on his oversized pick up truck, and thin blue line bumper sticker, like 3 Trump stickers, and a three percenter sticker. Right wing libertarians are some of the biggest bootlickers I have ever seen.
The 'no step on snek' version is a sarcastic take on the original though, I think you might be interpreting this comic incorrectly
Possibly, I won't deny I could be interpreting it wrong
PCM background implies otherwise.
PCM?
r/PoliticalCompassMeme background. Those colors are used for the two "libertarian" quadrants.
PCM was being run by Nazis to normalize fascist rhetoric.
Good detail, now I don't quite know what to think either. Do the details seem incongruent?
Yes, it's a clear libertarian/anarchist unity message. I don't think the author was aware of the purpose of the PCM subreddit, you needed to be fairly terminally online to know what was happening on the Nazi-angle.
Generally speaking what it mostly did was populize the quadrant colors as political identification symbols and spread the shorthands. Red/blue=authleft/authright, green/yellow=libleft/libright, etc.
They're getting used to the taste for when the only thing that's safe to eat is boiled shoe leather because the FDA and the USDA have been completely eliminated.
This is a function of the establishment right wing having usurped traditional conservativism (and their broad values), and replaced it with the nihilistic morality-free Capitalist libertarianism of the millionaires and billionaires funding "conservative" think tanks.
So there's no genuine right wing anymore. There's a conservative shell with anti-state, pro-Capitalist Libertarianism in the middle. All just so taxes and regulations could be lowered on the wealthy and their corporations.
It's a subversive attack on the nations of the world, and now governments have self-weakened and invited in their own doom and corruption rather than taking a principled stance by fighting it.
It's truly an ongoing attack on the nation.
