Personally I was concerned about why he’s wearing capitalist advertisements. But also I don’t know who this is, if that matters.
Pretty sure that was Dale Earnhardt (think that's how it's spelled). He was a famous NASCAR racer
I had a Dale Earnhardt Bic lighter in 1998. That’s about as much as I know other than that he suffered an untimely early demise and was well loved by fans.
I'm out of the loop but why do I see this guy (nascar driver?) in meme lastly?
That's Comrade Earnhardt!
Serious: Dale Earnhardt is/was a cultural hero for rural conservatives, as he was one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, so it's been fun for Lemmy meme artists to use his likeness for aggressively left-wing memes. It's a little bit "Ha ha funny NASCAR man makes memes about communism" and a little bit "conservatives will believe anything delivered to them in meme form so let's capitalize on that".
so basically, retroactive continuity
Hell Yeah
Hell yeah
Have we finally found the first good right wing meme 😮
How is this right wing?
I don't know why he's associated with socialism and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
I’m right there with you
hell yeah brother, raise hell praise Dale, unionize the pit crews 😎
Hell yea
OK 👍
