There is no way people would be as tolerant if this were about like, Argentina, despite the country haven fallen victim to similar politicians. Or even Japan, another rich but declining nation with dominant Conservatism. Or Italy even, which is like Japan in those aspects but mostly white.
I mean, other than some folks jumping in to defend the honor of the Fatherland helpless foreign country which needs terminally online Americans to defend it, I don’t really know that there’d be a big difference in reaction.
There’s not much here that’s… actually offensive unless you really try to read into it? “Ha ha, debt goes up, major restaurants, car type that’s fucking everywhere despite no reason for it, overused national symbol, food additive, regional hat, flag bikini, national obsession”
I guess the diabetes bit?
I don’t really know that an Argentine drawing the same tongue-in-cheek style pic with inflation, whatever national chains are prominent, vehicle jokes, regional dress, a national-team shirt, and a soccer ball would really get a majorly different reaction.
