FYI, the original joke had Xi as Winnie the Pooh standing next Obama…as Tigger. Yikes.

lol, even that site directly states VoA is funded by the US government.
Here's three words for you: fuck off, transphobe.
This time you’re conflating allowing an entity into a group with endorsing a specific characteristic of that entity.
It kind of is. Would they have allowed a communist nation to join? I highly doubt it. They could've easily said, ”no, you're fascists, go away.” It's not like getting fucking Portugal to join was essential.
Also you’re still keeping the whole “if they did so half a century ago, they approve of that kind of thing now” angle.
Hungary and Poland are not exactly democratic. You could even go as far as to say they're ruled by fascists.
The only situation were that wouldn’t be a falacy is if it was an organisation explicitly about that characteristic - i.e. an Association Of Democratic Nations - which let in a country with opposite characteristics, which is not the case here since NATO is a military alliance.
I would agree with this, because at face value it's true. Liberals are always calling NATO a group of civilized, European, democratic nations though, so you can't have it both ways.
Their comment history is full of transphobia, so your effort is appreciated but unfortunately futile.
”Why are Nazis bad?”
”Here's a detailed response.”
”Wow, I'm not reading that, it's too long and must be crazy.”
I wonder how Nazis managed to worm their way into liberal spaces?
Why did NATO allow a fascist nation to join in the first place? 🤔
Saying NATO is bad = pro-Russia
Liberal arguments at their finest 👍
No, it's still super funny and we've even got a second joke now: SOCIAL CREDIT XD XD
