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.

Rofl I love this one
It's funny because it hurts
Bonus panel (where it all started):
I really thought smug ideology man would be a character bit where the comics would be incredibly bad takes and there would be a smug guy involved. The audience would find humor in him being so smug while also just wrong. These are just your takes which are mostly reasonable and I don't get why it's called smug ideology man unless you're the smug one?
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.
smug ideology man is a derivative of a subreddit called coaxed into a snafu, which is a community which "Specializes experts in the art of snafus. A snafu is a simplified hand-drawn version of a meme, trend, or trope."
The original SIM subreddit is a community that "Counter signal[s] 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 aka smuggies aka smug ideology man aka coaxed into a less politically neutral snafu aka it's too late I've already drawn you as a strawman in mspaint just because you disagree"
In a sense this smuggie is in the described format. The infighting left are the crying virgins and the Nazis are the chads. That isn't to say the OP believes the Nazis are the good guys, but it is drawn in such a way where it illustrates this idea in a smuggie style
actually nvm forget all that. this smuggie is about south park predicting hello kitty island adventure for nintendo switch.
