What Does It Mean?

What does it mean.

What could Charlie Hebdo new cover art, possibly mean?

How could this obvious caricature of an islamist malefactor possibly be absolved of these terrible murders?

Oh.
Because we have already established that actual real world evil can be addressed and disposed of with mopey faces and cardboard twitter signs.

Yes, America. This is Europe mocking your vapid, insincere leaders. And we deserve it.

It is also a big F*** YOU to the entire 'je suis charlie' movement, to the extent that it is a transient fad to most people.

All you have to do now to be one of the cool kids who REALLY CARES about a catastrophe is to post a picture of yourself making a super-sad face and holding a sign that says, 'bring back our girls,' or 'je suis charlie.' And hold the pose for one day.

The bloody, tattered wreck that remains of Charlie Hebdo still has the strength to call out the fashionable on their insincerity. This is not pseudo-satire, as some idiot wannabe snobs would claim. This is the real deal. They are straight-out calling an asshole, an asshole.

“We vomit on all these people who suddenly say they are our friends,” Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard Holtrop.
