Opinion: How True is the 'Dudes Who Shred' vs 'YouTubers' Meme?
Hi all, this is a bit off topic, but the meme used to illustrate the thematic uses anti-Semitic stereotypes that were also used in nazi propaganda. There are many examples where a fat man in a suit resembles the capitalist mostly with a big nose that in some way exploits someone or hoards wealth/resources.
So I would like to put the meme to debate and would be interested in your opinions
here´s a google image search to stress what I mean:
https://www.google.com/search?q=nazi+propaganda+fat+man+capitalism&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjC6uCNurTuAhVE2KQKHZ6VDj4Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq=nazi+propaganda+fat+man+capitalism&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQA1CID1iID2DoFWgAcAB4AIABW4gBW5IBATGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=X1gNYIK_IsSwkwWeq7rwAw&bih=713&biw=1451
To clarify, I understand that it´s not the intention to be anti-Semitic or to spread nazi ideas, but I believe to combat antisemitism we have to be aware of the means that were used to establish it and to avoid spreading such images since they on a subconscious level keep those stereotypes alive in a society.
tl:dr
fight fascism, reflect on memes and the stereotypes they reproduce
