'oh boy, nazis' - tldr it's about killing nazis

I don't know who the guy on the right is, but the robot is G.I. Robot so I assume this is a reference to this scene in Creature Commandos episode 3 "Cheers to the Tin Man" where (to the music of Amanda Palmer's Coin-Operated Boy) he kills a lot of neo-nazis.

(I've never seen the show besides that scene and only know about any of this from memes...)

Thanks for pointing this out. Looking closer I see that that "journal" was definitely not something I want to be sending traffic to, for a whole bunch of reasons - besides anti-vax they're also anti-trans, and they're gold bugs... and they're asking tough questions like "do viruses exist" 🤡

I edited the post to link to MIT instead, and added a note in the post body explaining why.
