Thanks for using this template instead of the one which uses antisemitic imagery - it always hurts seeing the other version depicting the character which looks like he comes straight from an nazi pamphlet (the ugly banker with hooked nose which gets fat while the others starve)
If you want to reuse it instead of the antisemitic one, I’ve uploaded a blank and more neutral version on my templates page ;)
Now this is the kind of content generation I was hoping to find when I came to Lemmy!

Thanks mate, bookmarked!
The artist of that image, Ercan Baysal, is a left-wing Turkish cartoonist. The nose doesn’t look particularly different than most other characters he draws. I don’t see any evidence that it’s intended to be antisemitic in any way.
Semites include arabs. So it’s used quite incorrectly and misleadingly. Both in false accusations conflating criticism of nazis running a country pursuing a final solution to their others after decades of abusing them and forcing them into ghettos they control, and also in using anti semitism as a term to refer to anti jewishness. As I said, Arabs are a semetic people. Descended from the Phoencians in part, and carthaginians, both semetic also.
As if the purveyors of bad faith bigotry accusations to crush resistance to unspeakable atrocities give a shit they don’t. Still though there is no reason we should repeat their terms without question when they are clearly wrong factually, any more than we should accept their bad faith justifications, or their blackmailing of our ruling class with video evidence of them fucking children garnered through epstein for that matter.
Yes, Arabs are also semites, but the word “antisemitic” means bigotry towards Jewish people specifically regardless of what race they are. It is a misnomer, but that’s how language goes.
Now, Zionists redefining the word as being opposed to the government of Israel is another matter. That’s a bullshit definition.
I mean, it’s true. Billionaires are basically unemployed, yet when is the last time you saw a billionaire getting unemployment benefits? Justice for billionaires!
The last time I recall Billionaires getting unemployment is Covid. 2008. Even the Silicon valley bank collapse Biden bailed out the banks that didn’t pay into the fdic.
Because we can’t allow rich people to lose money, apparently. Better to tax working people, while the rich pay lower rates if not nothing, and use that money to subsidize the rich’s business and bail them out from crashing markets.
They get subsidized, bailed out, we get unforgiving laws enforced by an aristocracy reared to have nothing but contempt and caprice towards us. They are elected positions too, and we don’t even field candidates in all but a few districts for prosecutors, or judges for that matter. Two of the most powerful positions in the country, and both parties being lousy is never more true than it is with country judges and prosecutors.
s/foreigner/benefit claimant/ works too.
That is the (fake) populism of the right in a picture. Except that pile of cookies is so much bigger than that now. A billion is such a large amount, a thousand millions, a thousand thousand thousandes. They have up to hundreds of thousands ^3.
Those child labourers make me sick to my stomach with how greedy they are.
They should have half rations so long as the worlds resources are not controlled by three mega corporations.
