The Preacher comic has always been predicated on the way white supremacists see themselves. It's particularly apt for the modern alt-right who create marketing videos for themselves which portray them as 8 foot tall barbarians with battle axes.
Right, but what it's saying is that people without strong jaws or with weak chins are the 'worst examples' of the 'race'.

I generally just don't like any sort of body shaming, even predicted on what might be good context. What is someone, who isn't a white supremacist, but has a weak chin and reads this going to feel? Especially with what seems like the protagonist having an 'ideal' chin?

how about let's worry about the body shaming once we stuff the nazis back in the fridge and not a moment sooner

I'm completely capable of doing more than one thing, and I think it's important we do those things in the best way possible - making people feel shit about their bodies is entirely unnecessary, there are plenty of more valuable things to either criticize or make fun of.

White and white and white and white. They are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the U.S.

This entire line of reasoning is racist as fuck. Why should I care more about a kid in Iowa than a kid in Honduras? I won't ever meet either of them and neither of them are my own offspring.

Nazis of all shapes and sizes can get fucked.

Yes. But you also do not understand my point. Let me try again:

Joe Neogaf (not a Nazi) reads that comic, and already struggles with feeling like he has a weak chin. How does it make him feel?

Is it possible to shit on Nazis without friendly fire? ESPECIALLY friendly fire that is body shaming?

It's like if a woman is racist, why it isn't suddenly okay to say 'what a fat ugly cow'. You can shit on her, comfortably, for being racist, no need to bring in superfluous shit.

Faux News redefining mental gymnastics

I was listening to the radio on Sirius XM and one the callers said "I interpreted the jacket as saying, 'do you care?' Because the First Lady obviously cares. She was wearing the jacket because it was asking that question, not because she doesn't care."

The host was like.... uh what? Wtf are you talking about, the jacket specifically says "I don't care". The caller was bending over backwards something fierce. Even in he face of overwhelming evidence they will ignore it and choose their own narrative. This is what we have come to.

"He wants to vet whose coming across the border" how about we vet American born citizens. Given the outstanding number of school shootings this year I imagine AMERICANS is a much bigger threat than anyone to AMERICANS. Or how about we vet the police officers after countless killings of American citizens? Or how about we vet these private companies making money off of the separation of children?

You're worried about outside people when American citizens themselves are fucked and rotten to the core? FFS get over yourselves.

If they're not us they're less human. How do you pretend to not be racist when you say that? Especially about children.

I'm genuinely horrified that mainstream media can be this fuckin callous. I resisted the thought for a while but we actually are on our way to repeating the 1930's. Its actually happening.
