It's a right-wing onion site, mocking socialism... It's propaganda.

It's literally The Onion. Patriothole is part of Clickhole. Clickhole is an Onion side venture. Stop eating the Onion.

CORRECTION: The Onion sold Clickhole to Cards Against Humanity in 2020. But, this meme was from 2019 so it's still The Onion.

I don't think you get my point. It can be an onion site AND at the same time do an article that is funny but still pushing propaganda.

I get your point. It's an awful point and I have zero respect for your pearl-clutching, but I totally get it. If I knew absolutely nothing about The Onion and had absolutely no sense of humor, I too might call this propaganda.
