that country is supposed to host the world cup
1936 Olympics vibes
Huh, I seem to remember people telling me we didn't know about the camps until after the war
Yeah, that's really interesting. This cartoon is from 1935, I didn't know that general awareness of Concentration Camps was high enough that it could be an element in a political cartoon.
After a bit of research the concentration camps were known about, prison complexes for political opponents and the like. But they weren't yet the death camps they transformed into.
I know that we knew that they were rounding people up, we were certainly getting enough refugees to know they were running from oppression. And if they were rounding people up, they were putting them somewhere.
I just didn't know that the term Concentration Camp was being applied that early.
I also knew that they were rounding up Trade Unionists (commies), and Jews of course, but Catholics? We often hear about how many Jews died, and other groups likes gays and Roma, but how many Catholics died?
Never mind, I know how to use Google, and it the answer is unclear. They certainly targeted Catholic priests, who comprised the largest number of clergy interned in some camps. They mostly targeted priests in occupied countries like Poland, but German priests weren't safe either. It is very unclear how many Catholic citizens were killed by the Nazis, but it is probably significant number, but most of them seem to have been killed in mop-ups of villages, rather than in the camps.
Those Nazis really sucked, in case that isn't obvious.
it says right fucking there: trade unionist. jew. nonpolitical sportsman. catholic. there's a nice big axe. what the hell are you on?
You're right, it does say it in the picture, which is why I didn't bother to repeat all of the groups of people affected, because we all know a wide range of people were rounded up. I'll give you that "and the like" maybe didn't convey it very well, but you make it sound like I'm defending the Nazis 😅
you make it sound like I’m defending the Nazis
anyone making their crimes look smaller is defending the nazis. and as we've already seen with trump's concentration camps, just because it doesn't have gas chambers doesn't make a concentration camp not a death factory.
ICE Apes can't wait to deport entire teams to third world countries, where they'll be forced to play against teams of guards who torture and beat them between matches.
That's what those pansy-ass soccer players get for not playing a cool American sport, like Domestic Violence.
This world is a nightmare
I feel like this comic is downplaying how much damage ice does.
The comic needs another ICE agent pointing a gun at Harold, about to execute him.
oz = italian "onza". uncia mean 1/12, which is 1/12 of a libra now known as a pound. The Romans dominated by I don't know why the decided to divide stuff by 12.

This is nonsense, right?
Yeah, the Romans didn't get all the way to Britannia, fight the Norsemen, Mesopotamia, invent the bible, influence Romance languages like French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Italian, and leave an important and persistent effect on the English and other languages. No, they stayed in their small corner of the world and kept to themselves.
Multiples of 12 can be divided by 2, 3 and 4 to yield whole (integer) numbers.
Why is that important?
It's one of the reasons why there are many counting or number systems that are in multiples of 12. It makes it easier to divide things into equal groups of 2, 3 or 4.
Don't forget one and a half
You can also count to 12 on the fingers of one hand.
If you count each finger knuckle you can get 12, and use each finger(including the thumb) as a multipler, you can get 60 and now you know why a lot of things are base 12 and 60. Very handy to carry a pocket calculator in 3,000BC
That's true for 10 then too...
On one hand?
You can count to 31 on one hand. 1023 on two.
They mean the pads on the fingers
Or joint
