r/smugideologyman from Reddit but it's on Lemmy.

Counter signal memes aka poorly drawn comics that carry some message by portraying your point of view as the based smug chad and the opposing point of view as the tiny crying virgin.

Don't defend conservatism, fascism, centrism, or any form of hate.

[dude with glasses in a communist t-shirt, arguing] I'm the only leftist here, your opinions are TRASH

[dude holding a theory book on smug, arguing] Read theory you losers, you're all WRONG

[dude in an anarchist hoodie, arguing] Nuh-uh, I'm the only leftist here, you're SHITLIBS

[the three dudes are now caught in a cartoon fight, glasses gone flying, punches everywhere, while a firing squad of nazis are targeting them with rifles]

[a confused nazi asks] Why… why are they still arguing?

I have to learn/practice/improve my drawing skills for personal reasons (working on a project that needs me to be better at it fast), so I'm drawing smuggies more seriously these days, but it's still the same as it's always been, as described in the sidebar: Counter signal memes aka poorly drawn comics that carry some message by portraying your point of view as the based smug chad and the opposing point of view as the tiny crying virgin.

In this case the people infighting are portrayed in a satirical strawmanny way, which is smug enough to have annoyed quite a bunch of people if you look at the reactions in the other places where I posted it on Lemmy and Reddit.

PS: Other people are free to participate! Smuggies can be crudely drawn stickmen, you don't need any drawing skills to make one. There's been a couple third party smuggies around the start but now it seems I'm the only one making them.
