Don't make me feel sad for ancapball.

These memes aren't criticizing or satirizing Chappelle or Crowder, they use them to make completely unrelated points. Which is just free exposure and cultural relevance for people who already have too much of both.

Sure would be historic to hand unchecked executive power to Donald Trump desperate to evade prosecution and repay favours.

Not in a good way, but historic for sure.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say someone mentioned Palestine.

I don't see hatred in the comments but plenty in the video

Props.

fwiw people have made lots of variations on the "change my mind" meme that don't feature white nationalists. Same goes for the insanely popular Drake yeah/nah meme. I would not be surprised if the same is true here.

Good enough, for the next few weeks.

Yep.

The part about lacking political education also means fascists are commonly identified as those who start world wars and drag people into gas chambers. Which is reversed to naively argue they can't be fascist before that point. Disregarding that this is of course not how the nazis started out either.

Murder Machines (schools)

I'm sorry what

The uncomfortable truth is that far too many people are entirely comfortable with a far-right agenda and rhetoric. Especially if it gives them permission to look down on someone else.

Also poor political education has people thinking of fascism as 1) some almost mythological evil far removed from modern sensibilities, and 2) a problem of the past. Neither is true.
