    What’s clear is that the Right-wing’s whole thing doesn’t exactly attract (good) artists.

    Not a fan of their views, but the likes of StoneToss, Tom MacDonald and Seamus Coughlin aren’t exactly bad at what they do.

    They tend to borrow and steal most of their iconography rather than make something new

    The counter argument would be that having a visual language of common symbols and representations allows you to convey a lot with a little. One of the running bits from TheLeftCantMeme crowd is that left wing memes and comics tend to rely on walls of text to express anything, which is an exaggeration but it’s not entirely wrong.
