I love David Dees' art. the combination of technical talent and full-throttle-shit-the-bed-and-roll-around-in-it crazy is transfixing.
what if literally every conspiracy ever uttered was completely true and happening right now? only the most powerful mind can process that thought, but it takes a truely powerful wizard to communicate that vision.
Yes, but that's really underselling David Dees. Went from being a Sesame Street illustrator to making the most batshit edits I have ever seen. The Obama resurrecting Marx one is one of the tamer ones
Dude, I love these edits, they really capture the breathless Nancy Grace horror of conservatism. Isn't this the same guy that made the edit of Jewish police vaccinating a kid at a roadside checkpoint?
There's something about Dee's you don't typically see from conservatives, and that's some semblance of principles. Dees isn't a dishonest man, people who worked with him when he was younger say they believe he had untreated psychosis. For all his weird bigotry, he was protesting with Black Lives Matter because he was actually consistent with his anti-state beliefs. He was anti-vax, but the last comic he made before dying was about how the push to reopen after COVID was going to kill millions for a few bucks.
I'm not defending his politics whatsoever, his comics are anti-semitic and ever form of bigoted under the sun. But there's a sincerity within it that makes it say more than it's trying to. Dees communicates the absurd fear of American conservatives concisely
If this were a commentary on the way stores have been turning themselves into prisons that would be great. Too bad it's just some dumbass conspiracy shit.
Well to be fair I don't truly know how widespread a phenomenon it is. But where I live, and surrounding cities, stores have been upping security a lot in the last year. Where before you could simply walk in and out, now there's fencing/corraling at entrances and checkouts, Security guards at entrances, big obvious cameras on self checkout that rub it in your face by showing you on screen your recording. At first it was just Walmart, but slowly other places like grocery stores and such have adopted it. They treat us like dangerous criminals just to prevent a little loss. Meanwhile they continually inflate prices and rake in record profits. No wonder shoplifting is up.
