Why was Abraham Lincoln used so much in /co/? Especially children's /co/? Didn't he deal with slavery and the civil war?
>>155146283He’s an iconic prez that every kid recognizes, and apart from wanting to send the slaves back to Africa (which he never really seriously considered) it’s very hard to be revisionist with him. He was also a great fighter irl so he makes a natural ally in situations like Dexter’s.
>>155146283He is the president with the big hat, that alone makes him interesting, he also is the president that did the civil war and got killed for ending slavery.
1. On the penny2. Was increasingly overtaking George Washington for the best president in popular conception
>>155146283Abe's pretty cool. George Washington's cooler though.
Iconic lookMost important President in U.S. history. Washington is really the only other who qualifies, but only because he set the precedent of 2 term limits and rejecting monarchyAlso he has a very distinctive appearance
>>155146283His visual recognizability is the highest of any president, and he did important stuff AND was assassinated before he could also do a bunch of retarded shit. Washington is a lot less distinct than he was, people only know him from his famous paintings. 99% of people would have no idea who the fuck this is.
>>155146283Are you not American? I can't imagine an American even having to ask. He's the most iconic president outside of George Washington.
He naturally looked like a cartoon
>>155146283>>155146559Ben Franklin is probably the historical American political figure used even more than Lincoln, and he wasn't even a president, but the visual recognizability translates incredibly well into a cartoon, just like Lincoln.
>>155146283I wonder what the Abe Lincoln equivalent is for other countries. Like, a political/historical figure that's more or less been deified and shows up a lot in their media as a positive, if slightly non sequitur, narrative element.
>>155146997In Israel it's David Ben Gurion or Trump.
>>155146283Because everything about him is so grim and Very Serious Business, that using him as a non sequitur is inherently funny.
>>155146997Benito Juarez in Mexico.
>>155146283The Lincoln glazing will die this generation
>>155146283Lincoln was a real one regardless of your political stance. History isn't as kind to a lot of other presidents in the United State's history.
>>155147184who cares? fuck slavers
>>155146283>Didn't he deal with slavery and the civil war?yes>>155146594plus he was horny as fuck for old women>155147184oh hey, insane iconoclasm. what took you so long? is it tiring making shit up, or is it fun?>>155146997this was my favorite rnadom cartoon lincoln. God that was a great pilot.
>155147231>oh hey, insane iconoclasm. what took you so long? is it tiring making shit up, or is it fun?What kind of gaslighting is this?Its all easily available information to look up.

>>155147184the south seceded because they were upset about other states banning slavery
>>155147236if no one cared in the last 10 years of your political faggotryno one in this thread will care now >>>/pol/cel
I cant wait to nuke /pol/ and permaban everyone that engages in the same cancerous behavior
>>155146283He's basically the Macho Man to Washington's Hulkster.
>>155146283Abraham Lincoln? America's first dictator, tyrant, and proto communist.John Wilkes Booth? Hero.
>>155147184>just let us secede and break the nationNah. And zoomers worship browns so won’t be pro-slavery. You already see it on /pol/ where they claim the confederacy was a Jewish conspiracy
>>155147286>John Wilkes Booth? Hero.That pansy faggot? A hero? LOL
>>155147240>RazörFist
>>155147240This dude is like looking into an alternate universe TheSpoonyOne
John Wilkes Booth was your yesteryear political brain rotted faggot. Like Trump, just another piece of shit who would do anything for their own ends.
>>155147289>the nationWhat "THE nation"? They were called "these United States" and were always referred to in plural before Lincoln. Granted, centralization was inevitable due to the facts of Power and spontaneous order, but don't apply your current framework to eras when they don't apply.
>>155146318>>155146331These
>>155147390Without the north the south could not survive anyway. They’re still dependent on northern welfare
>>155147240Razorfist is a fucking retard and his hot takes on Lincoln are based on complete misconceptions and outright lies from actual confederacy supporters.Part 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmQ692aXGEPart 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi4sYg2LaRAThe fact that you watched a retard cosplaying as a Matrix character spitting thesaurus words and doing fake theater kid "edgy" shit and thought he was a legitimate source of historical information is embarrassing.
>>155147184He never issued a warrant for the supreme court justice's arrest.It's not an invasion, the south was part of the usa. the south also attacked firsthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War#Battle_of_Fort_Sumter
>>155147400>and other ad-hoc reasonings that only came about after the Good Side™ won
>>155146594Teddy Roosevelt is very great at this too even if he isn't used as often
>>155147184>>155147236>>155147240Evergreenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhSzuhdIkuE
>>155146997For Brazil, maybe Dom Pedro 1 or 2?But we rarely depict historical figures in media like americans do.
>>155147171He sucked though
>>155147527>glory-supportingYes, it seems all you're capable of. Your side won in 1776 and the regime of "muh representation" has been uninterrupted since, so what develop any actual argumentation?
>>155147184Southerner slavist bitching is all I can read
>>155147286>proto communist.Polman you're not fooling anyone
>>155147678You're right; Marx was writing before Lincoln, and admired him when he did become President. I'll leave the rest up to you, if you're capable of swishing that around in your head honestly.
>>155146997As someone that reads a lot of manga. I would say for Japan it would be. Oda Nobunaga, the amount of times the show up or reference in manga is a lot. Almost everything I know about them is just via though manga.
>>155146997Urho Kekkonen for the Finnish people, similarly to Lincoln he was a well known president.
>>155146283Because he's the coolest president on record. Aside from Roosevelt
>>155147952Well with pickings that slim...
>>155147894>Oda NobunagaHe's treated more like King George the Third. Usually a villain but sometimes treat more sympathetically.
>>155147184>Worst EVERI don't know, even if I buy into all of this I feel like there's some pretty stiff competition for worst.
>>155147952>Because he's the coolest president on record.Nah that would be "Slick Willy" Clinton
Homosexual commie who laid the foundations for the federal reserve. Most of the legislation the house passed after the civil war ended was to restrict the powers of the president because of how much he abused it.
>>155146997For Germany it's uhh Merkel
>>155147654He put foreign puppets in their place
>>155147184>>155148497Nah, Abraham Lincoln kicked ass. Your attempt at subversion is noted, now fuck off.
I like how they just use Lincoln as the current president in Billy and Mandy.
>>155148608https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bDkIpLMFXQ
Lincoln's accomplishments amounted to nothing because slavery is coming back and this time it's here to stay. The elites are sick of not being able to openly enslave and torture everyone else.
Wasn't he assassinated for NOTICING the rising influence and power of the banks?
>>155148586The fact that he's the only president the jews push in media should tip you off.
>>155148839No? He was assassinated by a pissed off confederate simp
>>155148790>slavery is coming backIt never left. Read the 13th.
>>155148870But now it's coming back for everyone who doesn't make at least ten million dollars a year. Billions and billions of people will be enslaved, and tortured, and exploited, and tortured, and tortured, and tortured, and torture torture torture TORTURE TORTURE TORTURE AHAAAAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAHHAAAAAAA
>>155148884Take a nap.
>>155148889Ghee hee hee. Me feel gooooooood when me buuuuuuuurn da aaaaaaants. Hee hee.
>>155148905Take a nap.
>>155146283His design is pretty damn cartoony.Teddy was also used a lot as some sort of Saxton Hale figure.
>>155148909Me rather take you life in slow and painful way, hee hee hee.
