I think the joke is meant to be the absurdity. I don't think a format like this is fascist in nature but I am open to being convinced.
Yes, and it was the same for alt-right political compass memes, too. Plausible deniability has always been the approach of crypto-fascists - you point out the implied fascist ideology, they say you're taking a joke too seriously then when you say something else they hit you with the 🤡🌍.
Nor do I, that wasn't what I was getting at. It's not the format at all that is an issue, nor am I implying this meme is fascistic in nature. I'm just saying this meme is doing for the auth-left what classic political compass memes did for the auth right.
Oh n-n-n-no! D-d-d-don’t call me a t-t-t-t-TANKIE!! 😱👻
