Radicalized by Traditional Values

WE SHOULD STICK TO SOCIAL VALUES THAT WERE UBIQUITOUS A COUPLE DECADES AGO OH NO... HE'S MAKING ME A DANGEROUS FAR RIGHT RADICAL! AND THAT'S WHY CHILD PORN, BEASTIALITY, AND PUBLIC ORGIES SHOULD BE LEGAL, YOU FUCKING DUMBFUCK AHH... MUCH BETTER! HE'S DERADICALIZED ME INTO A HEALTHY, SANE PERSON.

A four-panel comic shows a blond man advocating social values that were common a few decades ago, while another person panics and calls him a dangerous far-right radical. The next panel sarcastically argues that child pornography, bestiality, and public orgies should be legal, causing the panicking character to feel “deradicalized” into a supposedly healthy, sane person. The joke mocks political polarization and the tendency to label moderate traditional views as extremist while treating genuinely extreme positions as normal.
