polyaletheia: theunitofcaring: riseofthecommonwoodpile: memecucker: memecucker: so this tankie facebook page-other than completly messing up how this meme even works-took a poster that was originally a literal Nazi propaganda poster, added a Star of David and a dollar sign, and is trying to say that they arent being anti-Semetic So there’s an update… “we do acknowledge that some Jews were wrongly offended by it” is a new level of non-apology “note that the magen david represents Zionism and not Judaism" that is not how symbols work Although… what does represent Zionism and not Judaism? I think it’s like “what represents neoliberalism” or “what represents capitalism” - like, some cartoonists handle it with caricatures of specific figures, some cartoonists try to invent an iconography (in which case it’s vulnerable to critique, like if you use fat people to represent greedy bankers), the one thing you shouldn’t do is preface your cartoon with a note that’s like “just so the viewer knows, the hammer and sickle represent the Miner’s Union, not communism”. -- source link
