It’s clearly sarcasm, but the implication is that the human rights violations leftists complain about really are just CIA propaganda.

When most leftists say ‘human rights’ though, they mean the general concept, not international institutions.

Cuba, Vietnam, China, Venezuela, the USSR. These are some examples of a lefty functional model of government.

Fuck off, tankie.

What makes you say that?

Explanation: The tyrannical and poorly-regarded Emperor Caligula is said to have threatened to make his horse consul - one of the two heads of the Roman Senate. While this is sometimes pointed to as proof of his madness, it was only a threat, and is more likely to have been an expression of his disdain for the Senate.

Still was a terrible Emperor on every level.

No no, I was told that this is all business as usual and nothing could ever get worse in America because all capitalist administrations are the same.

Misinformation feels good and makes you feel like you have special, hidden knowledge. Professional advice is boring and mundane.

Explanation: In WW1, the Isonzo river was the site of numerous (mostly failed) offensives by Italy. The Battle of Caporetto is sometimes also known as the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo.

In 1915.

I believe so! I don’t know much about this pic, just found it interesting

Explanation: It’s a common meme to point out that men oft think about the Roman Empire. Here, the artist ArchonOfFlesh shows an… interesting reason why some boys of a certain submissive and/or masochistic bent might be thinking about the Roman Empire.

Mandatory historical note: once crucified, the odds of survival were very low. The Jewish-Roman writer Josephus once had three of his acquaintances rescued shortly after crucifixion, and even with professional medical help, two of them died after lingering in agony for a few days. Getting nails shoved through your bits is traumatic.
