Does This Remind Anyone Else Of Sermon 37

O’ captain,

My captain

(Disclaimer: I don't know why Tumblr killed the quality. I tried several different things and none of them worked. Let me know if you have any ideas. They ruined my formatting.)

Did I reuse this joke? Yes. Does it matter? No, because I drew it better this time. Although I'm choosing to ignore anyone who comes between Danton and Desmoulins alphabetically, it doesn't matter because Danton lied about sharing a quote with Camille anyway.

Well. Here you go.

Edited to add: Maxime’s quote is “My back hurts from carrying this convention.”

I want to empathize as a fellow transfem but I REALLY hate Olympic fencing and that overrides everything else. Olympic fencers deserve discrimination I think.

love when tumblr leftists are so desperate to lick autocrat’s boots that they just. outright lie. saw someone today claiming that homosexuality was never illegal in either the USSR or the DDR (that statement is demonstrably false, if you didn’t know)

it makes my job as an evil liberal painting socialists as insane freedom-hating authoritarians so simple. getting my CIA paycheck will be easy this month :)

normalize being a yellowjackets fan who will never watch the show because it’s too scary

Eschew useless lesbianism in favor of productive and efficient lesbianism

anarchists are, I think, my least favourite type of political extremist because they’re just so annoyingly convinced of their own utopianness.

like, there have been a lot of absolutely vile ideologies and states through history. empires. monarchies. dictatorships both red and brown. theocracies. but at least they all have like. a coherent idea of how the world works and the realities of power and real political theory and actual successful (in some form) societies that they can look back on. and for the most part they recognize that those societies were not perfect utopias, but are able to argue that their actions had some purpose beyond simple malice. to put it another way all these ideologies have some idea of the social contract and the greater good and realpolitik. some liberties have to be given up. some people have to be hurt or killed. some morally repugnant things have to be done so that most people can go on living a relatively good life.

whereas anarchists are just like “everyone will be nice to each other 🥰🥰🥰 and we’ll all share everything and everyone will be happy 😊🥰😌 and all the problems in the world will just be fixed ❤️🥰🤗🤗 no law or justice? that’s ok! no one will commit crimes 😇😊☺️ no international trade? that’s ok! we’ll return to an agrarian society, those are always good 🥰😌😁 no central authority to stop anti-anarchists from seizing power and reverting the whole thing? that’s ok! they just won’t 🤗🫠🤭”

kill yourself, cracker 🙄

Me: maybe perhaps people shouldn’t live under dictatorships

tumblr:

You're really not beating the orientalist allegations. Tell me some more about how backwards and repressive the east is and how the west needs to civilize us. Maybe the east would be less homophobic if the west stopped painting Lockheed fucking Martin as progressive! (sincerely a bi girl)

alright 🤷

“The east” (by which I have to assume you mean NK and China. unless you mean Russia in which case. Bbygirl. Russia is European) is backwards and repressive and the west absolutely should impose western liberal democracy on its autocracies, by force if necessary. It worked in Japan. It worked in Korea. It worked in Taiwan. All three of those states are progressive, free, and prosperous.

I’m willing to accept the label of “orientalist” because I know what it really means - I’ve criticized your favourite pet autocracy. It’s the same thing that Imperial Japan used in its propaganda back in the 40s - “we’re fighting for the freedom of colonized peoples and you western democracies are a bunch of racists because you’re trying to stop us”.

You’re spreading fascist propaganda too.

what the FUCK goes on in Philadelphia
