Two parties that don’t like immigration, and say so with similar propaganda images — but when the two images are juxtaposed, does the similarity between their two curving lines of unwanted immigrants, East German Jews<\/strong> in the aftermath of the first World War, largely Muslim Middle Eastern<\/strong> immigrants into Europe in the wake of the wars of our own time, make for fair comparison — or distorted propaganda? <\/p>\n

\"UKIP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The curves are indeed similar but that’s a graphical similarity, and there’s similarity in the dislike of immigrants too, in the meanings given to the two curves — but is the implicit comparison of Farrage<\/strong> with Hitler<\/strong> a fair one, or excessive?<\/p>\n

How do we read juxtapositions of this sort?<\/strong> How do we critique them? Is interpretation at the mercy of the “eye of the beholder”? What can this specific example teach us about DoubleQuotes<\/strong> in general, and their potential for use in revelation and \/ or deception? <\/p>\n

    With the Brexit referendum<\/strong> about a week away, and with the widely admired British Labour MP Jo Cox<\/strong> murdered today by a killer with Neo-Nazi<\/strong> affiliation, the UK has its own terrorism, fury, divisions and grief to come to grips with.<\/p>\n
