That it’s really ridiculous to try and excuse it. And being a greedy capitalist out to stop socialism also tracks.
The rest of it, about purity culture and Aryan perfect women I could be convinced are wrong, because I’m out of effort to look it up. But super coincidence then, amirite?

The anti-semitism caricature is fair enough, whether deliberate or not, but I don’t believe it really goes any further beyond that on politics.

By all accounts the creator was uninterested in politics beyond whatever internalized bigotry he had going on.
