Steve Rogers?
Poor chap
I feel like people say “Nazi” when they really mean “fascist”, but they’re afraid to say “fascist” because then they will be clearly referring to Republicans, and are afraid of retaliation. It’s not good. We need to normalize calling out fascists as fascists.
out of curiosity i was reading that stuff up, and fascist is also not clearly defined. it refers to a right wing movement in Italy, so in the same manner as “nazi” it simply compares to another group of morons.
You got me curious what the simplified Wikipedia entry for facism is:
“Under fascism, the government heavily controls a country’s economy and other parts of society, usually by using a form of authoritarian corporatism. Under this system, companies and workers are supposed to work together under national unity. A fascist regime uses violence to kill or persecute anyone it does not consider useful.”
interesting that it differs so much from the standard English article (from which i have my knowledge). on the other hand, that is what a simple answer would be, without going into the details or background. never checked it out before
Look up “Ur fascism” by Umberto Eco
Another timeless banger from pizzacake.
Yep, so glad she’s revered here. Her endless wit and positioning herself on the opposite end of an obvious debate really warms me towards the idea that she’s not just victim propping herself for clicks. Love her.
Edit: I should add, fuck all Nazis. But also down with pizzacake and her weak ass sauce.
Had me at the first half, bot gonna lie
bot gonna lie indeed
uhmmm… ice can and actually do nazi salutes often… yuck.
A thing that I often feel with pizzacake comics is that the message needs to be there regardless of wether or not we think the comics are funny.
We are in fact talking about nazis. Doesn’t matter if they’re from WWII germany or current day USA. Or wherever and from whenever.
There are still people who live as if it’s 6 years ago. Hell, I’m sure some still live in their heads in pre-2016 times. As if all of this fucked up shit isn’t happening under our very noses right now.
And for those, yes it bears repeating over and over again =>Nazis are not to be negotiated with<=.
It needs to be stated because the broad public opinion does swing back and forth on the whims of media.
So yes, punch Nazi’s. Make old timey Superman proud.
What about Indy?

It’s propaganda you agree with. That’s not a dig, mind you, it’s propaganda I agree with as well. A lot of intelligent people fail their wisdom checks when they hear something like that because they feel that all propaganda is wrong.
However, it’s just a tool. A necessary one at that. Because if we’re not filling the media sphere with anti-nazi, anti-right-winged propaganda, then Nazi’s fill the space with theirs. It also improves morale, and steels the resolve of those that are also anti-nazi and anti-fascist. And encourages others to stand up and fight with both pen and weapon.
Really, no different than Donald Duck fighting in WW2.
Usually comedy only tangentially touches on what’s important, or it risks turning into lectures.
Lectures can be fine. People pay for them sometimes. When comedy becomes lectures, and keeps its old “comedy” sign out front, people, at minimum, comment on the change with disappointment.
Maybe the important thing is more important than the comedy. It’s still a loss of comedy and an unwillingness to acknowledge the fact.
And generally, the fewer nazis and fascists you have, the more comedy exists.
Quite a knot.
And for those, yes it bears repeating over and over again =>Nazis are not to be negotiated with<=.
To put it another way: don’t argue with people John Brown would’ve shot
Agreed. But use Superman. Or use Batman. Use a fork. Use anyone other than yourself, every single time, for every comic, ad infinitum…
A dead nazi!
I definitely don’t remember when PizzaCake had actual jokes.
As far as I can tell most people’s definition of a joke seems to be ‘‘something I laughed at’’ and not ‘‘a set up and punchline’’ and it’s weird. this comic is a set up and a punch line. it’s like… a most basic joke concept.
I mean, it explicitly doesn’t have a definite punchline. But the lack of punchline is almost functioning as a punchline.
Points out something obvious:
Laugh now or you are a nazi
i would love to go back to a time where comics weren’t about nazis but sadly life is full of nazis in power right now stripping peoples rights.
They will go away just like they did in the past, after the Nazis lose.
And they will only lose once we’re properly armed and organized.
Vodka helps
I get the joke.
I like the joke.
Conversely: Is there anything blue and cold that CAN do a nazi salute?
Mr. Freeze could. But I don’t think his ideology trends toward fascism.
If there is, just add a splash of red with a bang.
Charlie Kirk.
Wish it was Elon.
Personally I want Elon to get Gaddafi’d. Seems like a fitting end. Though I’m not super picky in how he bites it, just that he does.
I would like Elon Musky to get blasted into space with one his rockets instead of coming back to Earth. Musky floats off into space. We can all take pride in the fact, that Musky will be so high on his own farts that he would think he could fix the problem. Then, just maybe, there will be a moment of crushing self-realization when Musky realizes that he can’t fix the issue cause he doesn’t have the skill, just like the rest of his life.
I’ve got to say that Pizzagate’s comics aren’t really peak comedy for me, but i appreciate the usage of the medium for criticism - the format spreads a lot easier and further than an essay on substack.
Edit: Pizzacake ofc lol
Was the pizzagate autocorrect intentional?
Every-time cake lady’s comics get posted everyone starts killing each-other immediately
It is always fun, to read these comment sections. Keep at it, everyone!
Purge initiated!
Have at you, villain!
I see way more comics about comics about Nazis than comics about Nazis.
Par for the course with Pizzacake, I don’t think she has ever had an original thought which wasn’t prefaced with “look how persecuted I am!”
The core format of every comic she does is “stereotype insulted by obvious strawman but stereotype gets last word and comic ends”.
She’s a white woman with a sub husband in Canada, btw.

Please explain what this has to do with anything. Bonus points if you can do it without looking like an incel loser.
Well you’d think she lived in the USA with the number of comics she makes about it. She is like one of the least persecuted demographics on earth for her entire lifespan.
Is it not important, for the ones not persecuted, to support the ones who are?
Look, if a literal Nazi shows up at the town hall advocating to tax the Rich, because he makes a literal career as an influencer doing it while pushing Nazi ideology, then you should assume that when he gets his ass kicked in the parking lot that it’s because he’s a fucking Nazi and you should not defend the Nazi.
This is analogous to defending Pizzacake just because she intentionally chooses popular stances while shitting out repetitive unartistic works, vote botting them, and banning all dissent.
You show up on every pizzacake post and complain about how much she makes fun of Nazis and incels. Just downvote and move on, you fucking loser.
Lol, no, I complain that she has actual problematic views and behavior: shes a vocal misandrist.
Are you okay? Honestly I do not understand, what you are saying there. Nazi pushing nazi propaganda, and then getting their ass kicked for it, is completely different, from someone making bland comics about popular issues, even if they are using unethical means of pushing those. Like, in what way are these things connected as a metaphora? And how does that relate, to the subject of my earlier comment pointing out, that it is okay to support things, people are not experiencing themselves?
Skill issue
Lmao. What about the “sub husband” part? You don’t get credit for partial idiocy.
Also, women as one of the least persecuted demographics, lol. That’s an incel point right there. You can rant about OnlyFans or something now.
You can tell he wanted to say “cuck” but knew it would give away his actual political leanings.
Persecution can happen at home but if anything we should be worried for him not her.
Theres nothing more voluntary than advocacy against marrying a sexist.
“Being a sub is spousal abuse” is a new one.
Please quote where I claimed that?

I like your comics, pizzacake! Keep them coming.
I love pizzacake posts.
Not bbecause I like her comics, frankly I find then boring and uninspired, but because there will ALWAYS be losers complaining about it in the comments instead of simply ignoring it lol
ironic shes making fun of the people complaining but her.
Isn’t that true for all posts?
No, some posts are actually funny
Ha. Everybody’s funny. Now you funny too.
In this sub, yes. In Lemmy overall, no.
I love YOU guys who come to social media for the quiet.
If you can’t complain on the internet then there’s nothing to say? Interesting perspective.
Depends on the content, right?
Just to clarify, you like that someone has posted something you don’t like, just because other people don’t like it even more?
Funnily enough, this one is actually pretty funny. Not so much the comic, but because someone clearly got under her skin enough to get her to make this.
Not liking ≠ disliking/hating
I don’t care for her comics, the content is simply not for me so I don’t engage with it. Whether they’re posted here or not makes no difference to me.
But the posts themselves? There’s always people complaining and, more often than not, irrationally so. They can choose to ignore them, scroll past and leave it at that. Instead, they go and write a comment of how bad this comic is and how unfunny of a content creator she is and bemoan about blocking all her content. It’s like they’re purposely putting on a circus show, and I’m all for it.
