Lemmy doesn’t have many Republicans. Don’t expect much of a direct answer.

(without looking into it to verify) isn’t this likely because of “no child left behind”?

Poor wording on my part. Context is always relevant, but the historical context isn’t necessarily relevant to modern interpretation.

Lol that’s actually a bad opinion. You absolutely will get called out for promoting authoritarian hellscapes by supporting neo-liberal politicians who are not dictators. You may not agree with the call out, but it will still happen.

Maybe those implications were valid 100 years ago. My first response was about how you can interpret a message out of context. The context of this message doesn’t have to be relevant to today.

That isn’t portrayed in this comic.

My current opinion is, a message can be good or bad regardless of the source. That can have exception when there’s hidden implication of support for evil deeds (ex. all lives matter). In this case, I can recognize the truth in this message that still resonates today and don’t see the implication of support for the entirety of Stalin’s actions. Also, bringing up the iron curtain is actual pretty ironic, given that was about isolationism and this comic is (at least on the surface) anti-isolationist.
