This image is super racist. But also, who wouldn’t be on the side with the badass dragon? Then again why is the BBC on the “evil” side plus the UN?

      We also have a freaking dragon, so I think we beat just about anything.

      Also I can’t quite make it out, but is Ukraine just a guy lying on the ground behind Germany?

    What did the BBC do to get kicked out of the imperial club? Have they actually started reporting recently or something?

      They’ve had minor pushbacks on Israeli claims here and there and don’t straight call Hamas a terrorist group. That’s pretty much it afaik

          Remember the famous Shapiro interview when BBC send out their most ghoulish bootlicker guy and even he found Shapiro insufferable and ridiculed him so Benny almost cried?

            This one? https://yewtu.be/PRF3r3zUGqk

            I hadn’t seen it but omg. Ben Shapiro is not worth engaging with.

            This is who he accused of being on the left lol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Neil

            Notable credits according to the wiki: Economist. Spectator. Editor for Murdoch on the Sunday Times. Daily Mail contributor. Advocate of Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Climate change denial. I won’t try to summarise his views on HIV/AIDS in the 90s but you can imagine/read the wiki.

            If there is any reason to treat Shapiro as deeply unserious and incoherent, this is as good as example as any. Political commentator with a weak and terrible political education.

        It’s literally this.

        The BBC isn’t manufacturing consent hard enough, it’s clearly their fault people don’t support Isreal uncritically not Isreal fault for doing a genocide.

      They have dragons and technology (high rise building), while “good” looks to be just standing around aimlessly. Also babies – everybody loves babies.

      Red cap is France, it’s phrygian cap with their ribbon. Pretty ironic since those ghouls usually bash the French Revolution hard.

        The way in which a lot of French liberals seem to admire the American Revolution, while the American libs go out of their way to bash the French Revolution, has always been weird to me.

          Yeah i guess it’s because they are liberals, French liberals see in America the revoution against the monarchy and pro democracy, they gloss over the slaveowning part and the convoluted system making US democracy a farce - that was also really common in the epoch, USA is basically the only country that wasn’t outright hostile for various shades of French revolutionaries so they routinely escaped there, especially the more opportunist ones like Lafayette or Talleyrand, so US got good press, but really only compared to outright hostile countries like England or Austria.

          While US liberals are really antidemocratic, for them the French republic was always way too progressive.

    BBC and UN at the good side lol. If only.

    But the details are pretty good. The evil side even have small, miserable looking Arab compradors. Ukraine flag is seemingly sticking out of Germany’s ass. And ofc Israel guy is also small and puny but with huge nose. Classic.

    I don’t get the one in front of Putin, black cloak and university hat, is this supposed to be academia?

      Probably “stupid college kids” supporting leftism because they are “young and naive.” Or possibly the “cultural Marxist woke universities” brainwashing the children.

      Eh, I think it’s fair to explain the world being good, evil, neutral, or other shades of grey. I just wouldn’t call the side bombing hospitals as being the good guys.

    lol, ‘my side is the best and we oppose the side with the world deliberation body (UN) as part of it!’ For libs, that should really be a sign for them to wonder, “are we the baddies?” but they won’t.
