PICTURED: THE ORIGINAL ANTIFA, IN 1945, ON THEIR MISSION TO FIGHT RACIST WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN EUROPE NN COMMENTS: HAH! The biting ironies are piled as the galling hypocrisies were at that moment in history. Above his next image, a photo of GIs landing in Normandy, he comments An interesting idea I’ve locked my sights on today is the idolization of the Greatest/G.I. Generation and their participation in the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War 2, by the so-called “antifa”/”anti-fascists” of today.
This meme in particular, and many others existing of a similar nature, spurred me into making this comic and article.
The point of the above meme is to draw parallels between the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy, with the self-described “Antifa” running around in the streets as counter-protestors and agitators at right-wing gatherings.
It’s interesting for many reasons. On a surface level, one could say, “It’s dishonorable to compare the men who risked and often sacrificed their lives charging into open gunfire to defeat Nazi Germany with a bunch of 20-something hippies riling up street brawls”. But that isn’t all that compelling (at least, in my opinion). The retort to that could simply be that “Well, we’re just carrying on their legacy and working to make sure the kind of people they defeated never get into power again.”
What I find more interesting is taking an actual analysis of who the men were that stormed those beaches. This little cartoon by Seamus Coughlin (the creator of FreedomToons) goes into that a bit. Feel free to watch it; I’ll be giving my own analysis below.
How about that -- his format is identical to the great StoneToss's that you see in various places nowadays, but he sometimes spells out and further illustrates his thesis. DON'T MISS the FreedomToons creator he's just mentioned -- just get withem too!=
