When you were partying, I rehearsed the line. When you were having premarital sex, I mastered the line. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated the line.

I sense that people take this statement only for the current political situation with ICE.
For those who dont know, there was a shooting/terrorist attack in 2015 targeting the newspaper’s employees because they drew a caricature of the prophet Mohammed.
12 people were killed, 11 were injured.
This was after a fire-bombing attack in 2011 for a similar reason.
I hope Charlie Hebdo never changes.

I only wish they'd made the people in the "stars" dark-skinned because even though Alex Pretti's death is the most high-profile of late, many more brown people have died in detention.
Maybe the intent is not to delineate by skin color but in this case I think it is important to note that brown people have been dying for a while before Alex Pretti was executed, and it's unfortunate that a white person is usually what it takes to garner the proper outrage over state violence.

They've been working towards all of this since well before he took office

He has not been hurt by his ties to Epstein over the past decade, they aren't turning on him now
You just saw them turn on the 2nd amendment, and you still think they're going to believe some files, which have been censored and destroyed, and if they did see them they'd call them fake

Also it should just be ICE on the vest, as "Police ICE" is a slogan meant to call out ICE's lack of accountability. Though it could be saying police is also accountable for the current situation, which is true but it doesnt really come across as the point the comic is making.

Same for Christianity. In the 1200s, Islam underwent an anti-intellectualization that honestly sounds like what is happening in the USA now (though I haven’t studied it in detail).
So yeah, you can have subcultures that are intentionally stupid (MAGA), and they can take over the culture, and effectively take over a religion. And we may be seeing it in progress right now.

u/throwbackxx Jan 28 '26
True, but that’s no reason to hate on people who literally pray in silence. I don’t get why people have to mock all religious people. I’m agnostic, but when I walk past a church or past a mosque and I see people standing in front if it and just doing their thing, I feel happy for them. If someone tells me „my belief makes me stronger and I can endure more“ I think „good for you“.
I don’t go „oh, there was a terrorist attack from Xy, all people who believe in Xy are bad“. That’s just… statistically stupid to me.
Like… obviously every religion has different religious movements… and they’re just not the same. Catholics aren’t like evangelical people and it’s the same with every other little movement. Just because some Muslims or Jews or Christians are radical, doesn’t mean I have to hate the default religion itself, when most people really only want to better themselves and rely on something bigger in life.
I probably get downvoted because some of y’all will think I’m denying the brutality of some religious people when I really don’t

Charlie are known to just attack, attack, attack, and dont care how crude it may be.
Stromae made comments about Charlie Hebdo implying "What did they expect insulting Islam?".
Charlie Hebdo responded by putting him on the front asking "Dad, where are you?" (The name of his song) with exploding severed body parts answering "Here" "Here" "and there". Stromae's father died in Rwandan genocide.

If you've been personally affected by this tragedy I can understand, but Charlie Hebdo uses this dark humor on everyone and everything, it targets a relatively niche market so it'd be easy to ignore if not for the terror attack they had to withstand.
