30 Of The Best Historic Propaganda Visuals As Shared By This Dedicated Online Community

I'm impressed, for the period, that they used a female scientist.

This Restaurant Serves Only One Person (Russian: В этом ресторане обслуживают только одну персону) is a 1953 caricature by Yuliy Ganf (Юлий Ганф) that appeared in the Soviet magazine, Krokodil.

I like that the sciences person is a woman. Very sad cartoon though

One of the most decorated veterans of the early 1900's, Major General Smedley D. Butler, said "War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives".

As long as the humankind will exist

Love the clear messaging of diversity in the poster as well

I remembered listening to a rerun of a Superman radio broadcast from the 40's. Even then, it included a PSA about racial inclusion.

And 70 yrs later US is still full of bigots and horrible prejudices

Is Superman American? Did he apply for citizenship? Isn't he a Kryptonian?

Batman appeared in a similar campaign (although this one was presented as a full comic page, rather than a poster): https://cacb.wordpress.com/2008/11/28/batman-rallies-against-racism/ And---when they weren't indulging in wartime jingoism---the Justice Society would frequently point out that "liberty and justice for all" meant *everyone.* So when some comics historian tries to defend Ebony White or other hideous racist depiction as "a product of its time," remember: the people doing it KNEW it was wrong; there just usually weren't enough decent people with backbones willing to OPPOSE it.

scandinavia kicking ass like they always do

still marching and willing to fight for their country so just as brave and deserving as the rest who serve

Love it

Go gayly forward (I live near San Francisco and when in a car with gay friends, driving directions never include the words “go straight”, it’s always “gayly forward”)

Is 2018 really "historic"? Make a guy feel old!

The ones who called themselves 'civilised' were the worst.

From s society which now calls WAR a CONFLICT…heavy sigh

China invades a country by buying them or loaning them money then repossessing them.

That say it all

I'm a conservative, and anti-vaxxers are stupid.

Ever heard of the nuremberg code ? At the end of WWII, nazis doctors were judged, found guilty and hanged because they had forced people to take experimental medications. In the 40's, the smallpox vaccine was tested since long ago and was no more experimental. That is not the case with the current COVID vaccines who are still under tests.

Except small pox is horrific, and the vaccine stopped it in it's tracks. Covid isn't anywhere near as bad, and the vaccine doesn't stop you getting it or spreading it. Also, the rich didn't get to ignore smallpox and carry on flying around the world while average people were kept under house arrest

People don't know history they will repeat it. We need better education system obviously

It’s not an anti vaccine comic. It’s making fun of anti vaxxers.

And yet in the U.S., the powers that be still discriminate against blood from men who have sex with men. It's ridiculous. All blood is tested. It's an unscientific stigma that dates back 40 years.

When I was very little my older sister had an African American friend... This is like 1969, liberal Jewish parents. I remember crying because I thought her skin was so much better looking than the one I was stuck with and it didn't seem fair that she was a beautiful brown and I was a sort of a yellow tan. Now that I'm a grandpa I'm proud to have raised my kids knowing "race" is an economic invention, not reality. People are people.

Blood is blood. Though vampires can probably taste the difference in diets. But they sure don't care about the color of the container.

The guy has fallen over and face-palmed, why does he need blood?

SUPRISE SUPRISE!
