[Shitty translation by me]

-Big writing: Charlie Hebdo, Feminism everywhere…

-Speech bubble: women nowhere!

Small writing on the top from left to right:

Iranian women say shit to the mullahs.

Women of hoods, forgotten in health.

Business of defense, women fighting.

Girls bang for the patriarchy.

A journalist (woman) in hell, war rapes.

    I remember being outraged by the response to the Charlie Hebdo incident years ago, after all, it is only a cartoon, but in the UK we have an extremist publication The Express which exists only to incite hatred every day and to tip gammons over the edge until they reach their boiling point, to keep them invested in culture war bullshit and divert their attention away from their own shitty lives, pay and working conditions. It has even been found on the dashboard of a van used by a white terrorist to run over and kill random browns nearby a local mosque. Their offices greet you with a huge sign when you are on your way to / from Luton airport, which is always depressing.

    Back then, I believed this magazine or whatever it is to be innocent, liberal even, and I perceived those who it offended as conservatives and reactionaries, whom I do not like. Now I think I understand things a little better, if this magazine is like the newspapers I am familiar with. I think it would be good for those at The Express to receive a similar wake-up call.

      The shooting was too extreme, IMO they should’ve just sued them, but what did they expect? France is a country with a history of suppressing Muslims and has killed more than 6 million Muslims in colonialism, and has an oppressed population of Africans and Arabs and a lot of them are Muslims, and during 2015 which was the height of ISIS they choose to draw a racist caricature of the most important human being to Muslims? and without even believing in Islam, if you look at the drawing it is a bearded man with a long nose and a weird hat plotting something evil. Imagine if a German “leftist” newspaper today drew an anti-semitic drawing of a Jew and called him Moses and then wrote “100 banks” how would the reaction be?

    The shitty magazine that exists solely on racism and trying to be as “shocking” as possible does shitty things? I’m absolutely shocked.
