The fact that political identity apparently determines whether you use a Mac or an HP laptop is the level of specific detail I didn’t know I needed today. 😂
My tankie ass on in that Thinkpad with Linux shit. The Japanese news reading public can not possibly comprehend this
I prefer a custom built PC. What does that make me on the US political spectrum?
To put it in terms suited to a graphic printed in a Japanese newspaper:
I accept this wholeheartedly.
Leftist probably
Largely fits stereotypes from about 15 years ago. Not the most ignorant I’ve seen.
Not a single gun. No oil. No megacorporations. The fundamental issues of the core divide aren’t even hinted at here.
Being on the side of the HP laptop should be enough of a wakeup call.
FINALLY! Someone mentions the grossly unacknowledged Starbucks-Pepsi political divide!
Naww… the rednecks down here love their Coke. I call bs
Double bs. The divide is between starbucks and gas station 64oz tumblers of coffee.
Racetrack ftw!
Yeah you can just slide CNN over in that other column now.
And take the NYT there too
And every other media outlet
And Apple
And the Tesla
Yep move all the mainstream media out of that left column.
Fried chicken got a chuckle out of me. I refuse to let the right take away my crispy chicken identity!!
The consumption of tasty dinosaur descendants transcends politics.
Yeah, they blew that one. But, I suspect it’s because they associate “fast food” with KFC, over McDonald’s. Although, I think McD’s is nearly as well known, if not as well liked there?
They forgot the fascism and guns on the red side. Maybe they are all inside the church.
As Jesus intended
* Jesus in this comment is American Jesus only. Any resemblance to other incarnations of Jesus are entirely coincidental and should not be inferred.
At first glance I thought the catcher is pointing a gun towards the other guy’s ass.
AI?
AI
It’s always the buildings that are the dead giveaway. Wtf is going on with that apartment?
This doesn’t look like AI to me. The Buildings are probably like this due to sloppy drawing copy-pasted twice
:(
I guess it would be kinda inappropriate to pictographically depict a pedo. Probably not enough room under the church anyway.
Man, they really did home in like a laser on the two worst pc brands in the world. I’m genuinely impressed…
From some random dude on the Internet, I’m both on some parts of either side of this meme and not even in it in others.
They seem to understand republicans far more than democracts, other than what they call the party.
For those interested in the etymology of the party names at the top:
The democrat side uses the characters “the people”, “lord”, and “party”. My interpretation is “the people are in charge party”, which makes sense because democracy is “the rule of the people”.
The republican side uses the characters “share”, “peace”, and “party”. To me, this one doesn’t have an interpretation that obviously links to republicanism.
Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won’t fit into the same sentence
I think it’s a pretty good translation of the word; “Republicans” ostensibly would support a “republic”, which is governed supposedly for the common good by mechanisms which are not really explained or examined and definitely distinct from just letting people do whatever they agree on like under one of those gross dirty democracies. “Common harmony” captures the same good-vibes/no-plan energy.
Of course, what they’ve got now aren’t even actual republicans, because, like their favorite model of Rome, republics love to become empires.
Share what you have with us and make Peace with The Party. 🫵
共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”
和 - here meaning peace or harmony.
The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).
It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.
Democracy party
Republicanism party
I knew I had good reason to hate HP laptops.
Hell, facism is the least of all reasons to hate HP laptops
It’s PC vs MAC. The war rages on.
please stop using the word “PC”, it makes no sense. Any computer can be personal, and I’d argue some windows computers are less “personal” than macs in terms of moddability and ownership
