Cannot post this often enough - it sums up the root cause of the rioting, looting, violence and hatred in the UK just now

We woke up to find the street on fire. Angry men jostled and shouted, blamed immigrants and feminists. No police came. We asked who did it, no one knew. Immigrants and feminists brought water to quench the flames, the angry men hit them, beat them, insulted them, turned them away. The next day all the streets were on fire, all the schools, all the hospitals. Look, said the angry men, you should have listened to us. They drank petrol and shouted until they spat, and the flames grew.

@CheRosach The alt text is incomplete. The rich guy is Rupert Murdoch. But yeah, it works generally.

@martinvermeer I was aware of that but didn’t want to confine my point to right wing Press

@CheRosach

This is what Trump is trying to do in the USA. The illegal Latino migrants are taking "the black jobs". Good old divide and conquer. Ordinary people like us are just seen as pawns to be used to further the agenda and consolidate the power and influence of these ultra-rich people.

@CheRosach the orange pustule is trying to imprint this on the US right now. Doesn't seem to be working as much as they'd like. However, there is a happy willing crowd of bigots in this country, of all stripes.

@CheRosach
There's an updated picture of that one, but otherwise, yes

Meme: three people- a dark skinned man sitting at a table with nothing in front of him; opposite a light skinned man in hi-vis and hard hat sits with one biscuit on a plate; in between a bald old man somewhat resembling a famous owner of newspaper media is behind an enormous pile of biscuits, facing the workman while pointing at the other man saying "Atentu amiko, tiu fremdulo volas vian biskviton!" (Look out friend, that foreigner wants your biscuit!)

@CheRosach @malanalysis sharing because it’s true everywhere fascism is rising.

@hacks4pancakes @CheRosach @malanalysis
this is quite the understatement, I am missing his cookie factory behind him

@CheRosach Nowadays it's "That religion is trying to kill you. By coincidence, all of those religious fanatics are dark skinned. Foreigners also think like us, so it doesn't make us fascists."

- It's a religious group again
- There is actually violence by them which makes it easier to blame them all.
- They don't need to wear a star, because their skin color is enough to recognize them

@CheRosach el que avisa, es traidor: es el que en realidad quiere tu galleta y tu fuerza de trabajo hasta exprimirte como una pasa.

@CheRosach I agree. This little cartoon needs to be posted everywhere, all the time.

The (rich economic) immigrant in the middle is telling the (hard hatted) man that his problems lie with a poor immigrant!

@CheRosach@mastodonapp.uk Yeah, it's not a good situation... This one might cheer you up a bit

@CheRosach I recall seeing a comic very similar to this from a ~1930's newspaper archive. The man who was Rupert was wearing a tophat. They've been working this angle for a while!
