Environmentalism, Anti-Immigrantism, White Supremacism, & Terrorism....A Connection?

[Audie]

I never asserted there were not opportunistic journalists on the left.
You asked for an example of a lie about antifa, I gave it to you.


I can, but that is not the topic of this thread and I'm not dignifying your attempt to detract from the point I was making with a response.

I already said never mind.

It has everything to do with race.
Look at how each person is half black & half white (rather Star Trekkie, eh).
But in the camera view screen, only the black halves are shown.

I have decades more experience watching cartoons than do you.

It's a shadow, not their skin color. Their skin color is the same. The point is how the larger picture is often missed, willfully or accidentally.

 

[Revoltingest]

From the search I made, the cartoon was initially drawn as a statement about western medias coverage of violence in Ukraine. It's not about race, you're reading into it in a way the artist (and I for that matter), did not intend.

I searched for background on the image, but it was difficult.
But it sure does look like it's about race to me, particularly
in the context of how discussions about white supremacist
violence so often devolve into black on black violence
being far greater. It came clearly across that way.

In a thread dealing with racism, it sure easily fooled me.
It still makes more sense with my inference.
This is especially so in a forum with so many Trekkies
who remember season 3, episode 15.

You're the only person who is claiming it's about race when it clearly isn't. I've seen that image a few times before and no one has ever mentioned race in regards to it.

No, it doesn't make more sense thinking it's about race. Both of the figures are the same color and the dark part is just a shadow! Did you notice the clothes follow the same pattern of shading?

Besides, @Labourwave was clearly using it to illustrate how media coverage of Antifa and the far-right is often inaccurate. They weren't using it in context of racial relations.

Being alone is nothing new to me.

Sometimes you're alone in your opinions because they're incorrect, though. It's okay to be mistaken at times.

Subtleties get lost in the discrepancies between the 2 images.
What do you know of the artist's intent?

I'm done arguing about it.

Looks like you've taken me off <ignore>.

 

[Revoltingest]

I'm done arguing about it.

Asking a question did the trick, eh.
Is that because you don't actually know the artist's intent?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

For the moment at least. I tidy up the ignore list from time to time because I get tired of the threads not making sense.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

No, it's because you're being stubborn and I'm sick of beating a dead horse. You'll never admit your interpretation of it is wrong and it's derailing the thread.

 

[Revoltingest]

No, because you're being stubborn...

We have that in common.
If my inference is wrong, I'll admit it.
But I explained its basis.

Btw, it's my thread to derail.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I'm not being stubborn at all. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Now move on.

About stubbornness.....
It takes 2 to tango.
There's no shame in admitting one's nature.

Back on ignore you go. You're impossible to have fruitful conversations with. I don't have the patience.

Talk about stubborn.

I think that as these people come to hate their fellow humans more and more, they sometimes generate an affinity for, and align themselves with "nature", instead. Why do they hate humans so much? Probably because they have been and are seeing themselves and being abused, and because they are very self-centered and frustrated. And because they blame everyone else for their own anti-social isolation.
