Is it just me getting unreasonably irritated when the artist captions the things they're depicting, as if we're either too dumb to understand or they suck at making subtle references?
It's a political comics thing that has its roots in England around
250300 years ago. The comic is meant simultaneously to be funny (and therefore disarming) and legitimate political propaganda. To ensure that the political propaganda message is not lost on the masses they label everything to make sure their message most clearly gets across.For example, see this political cartoon from 1903.

These sorts of comics have been captioned like this for decades. I'm not sure if they were ever not captioned.
That's just the way political comics goes. It's expected and common. It's not a web comic, bruh; there's a tradition to maintain.
Well, I guess so, wasn't expeting a whole culture around these
Not all political comics are like that though, the best ones don't need the labelling.
This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.
It's just you
Ah yes, they're standing in x-crement.
Xitter.. pronounced like shitter.
they forgot the saudi king sitting on a throne of dead migrant bodies
This post is difamation against goblins.

Also where's the crowd of khaki-wearing nazis?
Supposed to be a troll I think, but that blatantly a goblin
Also the military cosplay guy has a swastika on his arm.

Truly a shitpost.
Nah this is just accurately stating the actual status of X as a metaphor, I like it.
Lol i recently heard someone refer to tweets as xcrements now. Fits perfectly with this

Xitter, Jesus, you guys are amazing.
Shitter would have worked too
That’s why you pronounce the X the Chinese way!
Who’s the guy on the right supposed to be?
De Santis
Of course!
4chan edgelord convinced that his shit don't stink made this possible.
Ah yes my (least) favorite! Political comics!
Errrrhmmmm, it’s X, actually
But Xitter will make Elon fanboys mad, so it's worth the misspelling.
