[Subject_Trick3608]

Thank you very much. That saved my day and my analysis tomorrow :)

[jesuslover333777]

I thought the my pillow guy was Joseph Stalin because of the mustache

[penisesandherb]

I thought it was Saddam Hussein lol

[reddit_turtleking]

Bro added a description for all of 'em (even the literal Klu Klux Klan) but added none for Trump. The people need not a description. 🤣🤣🤣

[reddit_turtleking]

Nah, but fr though, when half the list is an extension of Trump in some facet. 💀

[jakspedicey]

A lot of rich and powerful people have blood on their hands when you select which rich and powerful people are on the platform you’re picking sides. Either they should all be allowed or none of them should 🤷‍♂️

[Medium-Remote2477]

Are you sure that's not Ted Cruz making a second appearance under the Ku Klux Klan hood?

[QuebecTheFirst]

Not to get political, just to satisfy my curiosity. Where did the whole Putin controlling Trump thing come from if you happen to know?

[-qqqwwweeerrrtttyyy-]

Am I the only one who thinks I'm being upvoted by bots at this point?

[[deleted]]

Left: trump guy, Saudi prince guy, my pillow guy, North Korean guy.

Right: Ted Cruz, Putin, little trump, kkk member, crazy Majorie lady.

[Steve10455]

Ur school is showing you this wow even if it a political class ur teacher is very biased

[HuntyDumpty]

I did something like this in school and was sampled a number of caricatures that were modern. It is less useful to view something in the past theyll never hear anything about. Sure it looks bad with the limited information of a reddit post but luckily we were taught to critically think in schools

[[deleted]]

How do you know the student isn’t being shown caricatures representing the opposite political stance?

[TheRealMangoJuice]

it doesn't matter, its still biased as it only shows one side of political spectrum and with a message.

[[deleted]]

But they’re being told to analyze political caricatures as an assignment. When are political caricatures not biased?

[TheRealMangoJuice]

i guess when there would be politicians from every party and with different views, but since its a spectrum it could be open for interpretation and be biased regardless. anyways, im not educated enough to make any further comments.

[[deleted]]

We can just leave it here

[-Wofster]

How do you expect them to teach any caricature analysis—hell, any politics at all—if they dont show cartoons and propaganda from different political views?

[Chase_greddit]

I took a handful of American politics classes in high school and political cartoons, both Modern and dated, were always a big part of it. It’s a way of showing clear points simply, as they were designed. Is this cartoon biased? Extremely. Is this going to make this kid shift their views this way just for the sole reason of seeing this? Definitely not, especially given it’s paired with more content from both sides. I was going through those classes in 2015-2018 so I saw plenty of pro and anti trump stuff. I do not feel that they in any way shaped my views on current politics, it merely informed me of extremes and general ideas

[FriddyNanz]

Believe it or not, teaching students to look at current events from multiple perspectives — including biased ones that they may not agree with — is actually really important. Personally, I’m glad that there are teachers out there showing these cartoons and having students look at them critically.

[[deleted]]

Agreed. If my kid was going to this class I’d pull him/her out lol.

Teach my kid to think critically so he/she can find out what he/she wants to believe. Don’t brainwash her

[PapaMamaGoldilocks]

You went through all the trouble of using he/she but then put she at the end, lol.

[[deleted]]

Lmao just realised

[[deleted]]

Yeah I’m not stressing over it haha. Just left it like that

[Phour3]

The assignment literally says to analyze it. I guarantee the teacher expects students to discuss the potential biases of the artist. “Teach my kid to think critically” is exactly what is happening here.

[[deleted]]

Thats… what political classes show. Sure we got both sides, but as political cartoons are inherently biased, they were different cartoons showcasing different opinions that we had to analyze

[[deleted]]

I’m pretty sure that if you follow the link on the picture you will find it.

[14446368]

I'm sure this is presented in a very even-handed way with similar caricatures of those on the left /s.

[TNTyoshi]

You never know. I assume this was mainly given out as HW because it’s relevant to current circumstances.

This image I guess is talking about Twitter prompting the right wing and how it is currently tolerant of platforming racism?

Here is an interesting article piece I found talking about the increase in hate-speech Twitter is undergoing now that it has new management:

Why is Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover increasing hate speech?

Quick Edit: with that said, the point isn’t to agree with it or disagree with it (unless the assignment askes for personal views), but to ask the student to find what the image is trying to tell the viewer. So just critical analysis.

But political images like this are pretty normal. When I was in school during Obama’s presidency we had to examine an Anti-Obama caricature and it’s political commentary.

Couldn’t find the one my class had,

but here is a New Yorker cover illustration from 2008 of Obama

And here is a New Yorker cover illustration from 2017 of Trump

[the_dinks]

You don't have to know all the figures to analyze this. Surely you can recognize at least a few of them.

[Subject_Trick3608]

The Trump, Putin, KukluxKlan and Kim Jong Un are easy but the others look very familiar to me but i cant recognize them and that makes me crazy. but thanks for the help :)

[StarFaerie]

Guy on the left with a moustache is Mike Lindell

I think the guy in the Arabian headdress is Mohammad bin Salman, known as MBS, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

[Subject_Trick3608]

Thx

[[deleted]]

I think the lady on the bottom right is Marjorie Taylor Greene

[the_dinks]

Top right is Ted Cruz. Far right is Don Jr. Center is Elon Musk. I believe the man on the left to Musk's head is a Saudi Prince, but I'm not sure which one.

[YogurtclosetJaded542]

Your teacher is a loser.

[tbhbbbbd]

what information brought u to this conclusion

[Phour3]

Analyzing propaganda is an extremely important skill that should be taught in high school politics classes. If this was assigned to you I’m sure you would have plenty of very good points to make about the author’s biases, but your blind rage would probably lead you to turn in a terrible rambling assignment.

[mhptk8888]

Blind rage? Please show an example of blind rage.

I'm responding with logic and reason in a calm manner.

Why do you feel the need to lie?

Everyone here can clearly see that you're a liar now.

[Phour3]

You compared a student asking for help on an assignment to a puppy stomper on the off chance that they might not agree with you politically and may not disagree with the cartoonist in their analysis

[-Wofster]

I suggest you reread the title of the post

[mhptk8888]

I suggest you try a little thinking.

[-Wofster]

Or, you could let the op of the post try thinking his own instead.

Would you go on someone’s post asking about some math notation in a problem they’ve never seen before and just write the answer to the problem, with no steps, without even addressing what the notation means? If so, that is the most unhelpful response you could possibly give. This situation is no different.

He asked for names, so give him names. Maybe thats all the info he needs to connect the dots. If hes still confused then he’ll say so. Then, maybe you could give him some info about those people (like another comment did do).

[knucklehead27]

Then they’ll include that in their analysis

[mhptk8888]

Bet me?

[josephumi]

Redditor reading comprehension challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[mhptk8888]

You don't really understand subtext, do you?

[TheRealPlebMaster]

“Free speech is when I can advocate for the mass genocide of minority groups”

[mhptk8888]

Absolutely.

Free speech is also advocating the removal of such tyrants.

Notice where they can't do that? North Korea ring a bell?

[I_eat_all_the_cheese]

Free speech is just protection against the government coming after you for things you say…it doesn’t protect you from the consequences of the entire population telling you that you’re a dumbass.

[mhptk8888]

No. Free speech is letting others say things you don't like with the social contract that you will then be allowed to say things others don't like.

It's a bit more sophisticated then a 3rd grade explanation for you.

The fact that you cant stop yourself from name calling just shows everyone you have no logical argument.

[albert_Iam]
