He wrote an anti-fascist statement on a bullet casing

No, he wrote Helldiver's 2 and groyper memes.

Hey, fascist! Catch! ↑ → ↓↓↓

Is for this: https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Eagle_500kg_Bomb

    In the game where that code is from, you play as a human soldier fighting for a starship troopers-esque over the top obviously fascist but played for laughs Super Earth Government, and they routinely call the bug aliens fascist while calling in bombing runs on them.

    "Notices bulges OwO what's this?" is used within the groypers to make fun of furries, as well as when they are (ugh I hate that I'm about to say this word) "transvestigating", which is when they "investigate" whether someone is trans or not. Also see "If you read this, you are gay LMAO"

    Bella ciao is also used ironically within the groypers.

    If it was the only thing there... Sure. Its not though, its one of several things, which all have one very specific context - groypers.

    Context is always important.

    Edit: Forgot to add - with Helldivers 2, the joke is you've got fascists dropping bombs while saying they are dropping bombs on fascists. Again, a meme reference for groypers.

    Good question. I'll show you something then you decide or you want to dive into it further. It mostly far-right meme shit and doesn't make a lot of sense for outsiders.

  • I'd like to raise a few points:

    1. Conservatives are media illiterate.
    2. Deeply online groypers live under 16 layers of irony at all times.
    3. Fascists love pretending that they're actually heroes fighting the real fascists who want to give people free bread. To a lot of Americans, communist and fascist are the same word.

    I can't tell you if bella ciao is a popular alt-right meme because I don't hang out with them, but I can tell you it's far from impossible.
