    The extreme auth right, AKA the auth right of the US, are literal fascists and as such “secretly” approve. I’m personally picturing this as auth right talking to a like minded peer rather than to the general public, in which case it fits.

      I think that’s right. It’s also just the way they’re depicted with the same head base as the others. Typically memes with these use the head base to denote respectability, like in the libertarian right, to degrade them. But they’re also a Nazi still? So I assume they’re not sympathetic to them. Feels like the meme equivalent of a typo I guess

        I think this is more their reaction to it The other three are calm and pointing out Nazi space karen did the Nazi salute, and the libertarians are freaking out trying to deny it.

        I suppose if they used one of the “Total Idiot” heads for authright, they might be perceived an implication that authright is incorrect in this case. Whereas authright is actually correct for once, albeit for horrific reasons.

        But I agree that it presents unnecessary ambiguity as it is. There was probably a better way, but PCMs are not known for their effort.

        Yeah, I agree, now that you mention it. I’m thinking that the helmet and rather nondescript uniform are being asked to do significantly more heavy lifting than they’re rated for.

        Still a good use of the format overall IMO, though 🤷
