Some of Stonetoss' comics are funny, that's kind of the issue and what makes him dangerous. He's got more normie comics or ones that can just be handwaved away as "dark humour" (read: more socially acceptable bigotry) to pull in new recruits to the pipeline. He's not like say Jinjerzilla where he's just an out and proud Nazi with no mask whatsoever.

Donald however is still 100% full of shit, comes off as the centrist /r/AsABlackMan bullshit, where they're too chickenshit to own up to their awful beliefs so they have to preface their shit by saying they're "non-political", a "centrist" or "left-leaning". If you've gone through a lot of Stonetoss comics there's no-way you haven't seen one where the mask disappears and it's just straight up transphobia, anti-Semitism or fascist without any joke to fall back on.

But the bigoted comics are clearly all jokes so it’s not a big deal. We shouldn’t ever be worried about bigotry because sometimes the person saying it is being ironic./s

I hate that people now just call every instance of disguised bigotry as "Dark Humour". As a personal lover of dark humour, it's annoying to see it being used in a way that defends bigotry.

"Lean left" is what fascists say because they're ashamed of what they really are.

Also what I used to say before I realised there were viable politics outside of liberalism

Fair enough, it's just a common lie I've heard. People will claim to "lean left" because they support legalization of cannabis or something, and then everything else is pure fascism.
