hohohoNo mercy for fascism
SassyRamenWhat’s the origins of this poster? It’s exactly what we need in this world right now.
NougatBased on the existence of the swastika, I'm going to say some time in the early 1940s.
there’s a “16” under the signature. that’s typically a date signifier. I’m gonna guess this is modern from 2016.
From another reply it seems it’s a modification of a poster from 1918, so in the original under the signature is actually an 18.
interesting, i figured it couldn’t be 1918 because the swastika wasn’t associated with facism yet, but perhaps the swastika was just added later?
I did some sleuthing. It has been adapted from a poster about fighting against tuberculosis.

What's it gotta do with a snake on a record player?
I realize the record player was a joke, but considering who most commonly flies the Gadsen flag these days I think the imagery works.
step on snek
Only k e thing to do woth an aggressive snake. Cut of its head.
This would make an awesome tattoo
DeconceptualistThis is unfair to snakes. They’re fascinating creatures and (aside from some invasive species) have a role in the ecosystem. Fascists are so vastly worse.
Yeah I understand what the poster is getting at, I just wish they’d use something other than a snake which is already a much maligned animal. Bedbugs on the other hand…
America has bedbugs!
irreticentBedbugs you say?
Thanks, I hate it
You can blame Abrahamic (and possibly more) religions for this.
ZeroOneThis is a great counter to the No Step on Snek meme by RightWing turds & Libertarians
Always make sure to target fascism in its nest when its still underdeveloped if possible.
I.e. do the opposite of what happens in MURICA.
Unless you’re american. Then you pet the snake, and give it the highest political position in the land.
Or invite it over, as long as it’s an engineer that didn’t shoot any Jewish slaves themselves.
That anyone can prove.
I can’t believe the snake bit my face
I see you’ve taken the snake whose only demand is freedom and recast it as a fascist.
Any reprehensible behavior — for example “no mercy” — is justified as long as there’s a fascist around right?
You guys worship violence and power. You use art to frame your crusade as moral, to authorize yourself for the enacting of evil.
Only if by “freedom”, you mean “Freedom to force everyone into living the way they choose”. We wouldn’t be here if the snakes MO was “Let me do what I want to do, and I’ll let you do what you want to do”
Nah, they’re just a Kool-Aid drinker who never had the gumption to actually read people like Rothbard and Murray.
Any reprehensible behavior — for example “no mercy” — is justified as long as there’s a fascist around right?
Yes
Dehumanize political enemies by calling them fascists
Marginalize normal people
Lose an election by historic margins
“We’re losing our democracy!”
Is it dehumanizing if the party leader and higher ups fit the historical definition of what makes someone a fascist?
