This is one of the most tragically mixed metaphors I have ever witnessed. It's inept in every single detail. It portrays new NATO entrants as rodents, a favorite food of snakes, and accidentally implies Finland and Sweden are only trying to join NATO on Putin's orders. And while the nod to the original Revolutionary War "unite or die" cartoon seems like a nice touch, how many modern pieces of media treat snakes as the heroic characters? Not loving many.

Why is Nato segmented? Why is it a snake which will eat up the rodents? This is a metaphor, but all I can read is "Danziger actually loving believes in 'NATO imperialism' line of thought"

He doesn't think NATO are the bad guys, that's the saddest part of this cartoon. The divided snake imagery is a reference to the original American political cartoon published by Ben Franklin himself, and it makes sense in its original context but not in Danziger's work because Danziger is an idiot.

He's gotten noticeably worse over the past couple years. Like I don't know anything about him but it seems like he's either had a stroke or is going senile.

EDIT: Oh holy poo poo I didn't even notice that he reduced a bunch of countries to just "ETC ETC ETC". Great way to portray NATO unity you loving dolt.

EDIT²: Oh, Danziger's 79. That explains it. His cartoons are elder abuse.

REALITY JUST SENT YOU A DIRECT MESSAGE…ARE YOU WOKE OR AWAKE?

The problem with ‘Wokeism’ is it’s not simply being pushed by a few radical nuts. It’s becoming widespread in our education system and corporate media. The corporations themselves are woke as well. Disney is perhaps the wokest of them all. So much so that they despise straight white people. Many are now waking up to Disney’s wokeism and so they’re refusing to patronize Disneyland and Disney World or purchase Disney products. Good for them.

We have too many ‘woke’ politicians and in fact, they’re currently in nominal charge. Sleepy Joe is ‘woke.’ That is, as woke as a mannequin can be. His administration pushes wokeism at every turn.

Those who believe in Critical Race Theory are said to be woke, but wokeism also includes pushing LGBQT+ propaganda as well as constantly repeating the worship words, “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” (DIE). They like to say America is a racist country. They want our statues pulled down, our history blotted out, our police forces defunded, and our Constitution obliterated due to America’s ‘systemic racism.’ Yet racism at universities and in government is almost unheard of. For a long time, America has naturally gravitated toward diversity, inclusion, and equity. We’ve needed no one to hector and lecture us that it was needed. For example, what ‘system’ exactly pushes racism nowadays? It’s not happening “systemically.” Apparently the type of racism they’re talking about are things on a weird, complex and granular level. If someone’s feelings are hurt, even unintentionally, then apparently that’s racism. We are now afraid to communicate without the fear of committing a micro-aggression. Freedom of speech is under attack. Our vocabulary is being narrowed.

The result is our free speech is going away. Our kids are being taught about sexuality at a very young age. It’s also known as ‘grooming’ and Disney and public schools are participating.

Wokeism is being relentlessly being pushed at us along with the LGBQT+ agenda, medical tyranny, warmongering, and unfounded climate change hysteria. In short, it’s all a manifestation of the New World Order.

Bill Gates, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all warn us about climate change and rising sea levels, but consider this: They all own grandiose mansions right on the beach.

It’s time to wake up to wokeism.

— Ben Garrison


UPDATE:

Republican measures to fight back against Disney’s LGBTQIA agenda:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) called on the Florida legislature to end Disney’s $600 million tax cheat loophole.

House Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman Jim Banks (R-IN) said he would fight to end the Mickey Mouse copyright.


Disney sure does hate straight white people.

Dude just calling everything he doesn't like Wokeism. What is Wokeism, ben. Who wrote the Wokeist Manifesto. What are the central axioms of Wokeism from which so many varied comclusions follow.

Also republicans unfucking copyright law just to spite the imaginary gay disney agenda would be hilarious, but it's republicans doing it so I assume they'll find a way to tie it to stealing candy from orphans or something and ruin the whole thing.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust Republicans to do something good even accidentally. They're going to somehow end up loving over the LGBT community and make copyright laws worse in ways not even imagined before.

Also, it loving sucks that the right is doing to "grooming" what they did to the word "triggered" where they take something used to describe a very real and very specific issue and apply it to things that make no sense until it becomes a joke in and of itself.
