They’ll ramp up their cringy “good guy USA, remember when we were amazing examples of empathy and world aid?” material.
Who is the “they” here who are doing this? The author of the cartoon who is making a blatant anti-Rogan, anti-Musk message? I feel we’ve crossed some wires if we think getting median-voting, semi-patriotic liberals to reject authoritarian propaganda is more harmful than good.
The results of people like Musk and Rogan influencing people to let a fascist dictatorship take control of that same military is going to be a lot fucking worse for you.
Are you slow? Do you think I’m defending Musk and Rogan?
I’m saying your military - and your country - is a piece of shit force of evil in this world, and has always been, regardless of your idiot in chief. Any comic painting it as smiling empathetic friends is propaganda.
And I’m saying view it through the lens of the average American liberal who wants their military to be this image, this is what they think it is, this is what they want it to be, and forces like Musk and Rogan are trying to influence them away from this.
You are in your rights to hate the US military, many of us with any shred of understanding about the world do, but this comic is a window into American minds at large, and needs to be understood as a piece representing the average American starting to turn on the current narrative that would see you, and your country, wherever you are, harmed far worse than anything we’ve done before.
There are multiple victims of war pictured here and the comic doesn’t seem to notice or care why that is. It celebrates it even, as empathy, which is such a crushing example of how warped perspectives can become.
Yah this is the general perception of Liberal America, and really the liberal populations of many countries who are just raised on propaganda and don’t really think systemically. IE: the bulk of all people.
This comic SHOULD be a window into how the average, median voter thinks and feels about the country, if we understood and accepted this common perception instead of cringing at it we could make a lot better progress in actually getting people to recognize the problems with the military and the state, but for most people this is patriotism and they don’t think “america bad” every time they see a soldier missing a limb.
A comic like this does more net good than all the lecturing and guilting people for being involved in a corrupt system, and I still don’t know who the “They” are.

This comic is pure unapologetic propaganda and paints your military as smiling aid giving friends.
Fuck off.

Get fucking smarter.

I can’t be any more clear than this.

Probably in this context: the ruling class.
The lack of class awareness here in the comic being why the use of cultural hegemony is lost.
