I'm out of the loop but why do I see this guy (nascar driver?) in meme lastly?

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 20 points 8 months ago

That's Comrade Earnhardt!

Serious: Dale Earnhardt is/was a cultural hero for rural conservatives, as he was one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, so it's been fun for Lemmy meme artists to use his likeness for aggressively left-wing memes. It's a little bit "Ha ha funny NASCAR man makes memes about communism" and a little bit "conservatives will believe anything delivered to them in meme form so let's capitalize on that".

Personally I was concerned about why he’s wearing capitalist advertisements. But also I don’t know who this is, if that matters.

[-] Thunderwolf@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure that was Dale Earnhardt (think that's how it's spelled). He was a famous NASCAR racer

I had a Dale Earnhardt Bic lighter in 1998. That’s about as much as I know other than that he suffered an untimely early demise and was well loved by fans.

Have we finally found the first good right wing meme 😮

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 10 points 8 months ago

How is this right wing?

[-] NevermindNoMind@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I don't know why he's associated with socialism and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

[-] FardyCakes@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I’m right there with you
