Post your favorite liberal arts&craft cliches. I’ll start with the one I’m partial to.
Without fail, some PMC or boring white guy will rock up with a sign like:
“this is literally the last thing I want to be doing. I am an endless well of lethargy, a monument to near-total apathy. Alas, the incompetence of those in charge has forced even my refined detachment into the streets. So here I stand, spiritually degraded, holding this sign like some kind of activist, a word that, until now, I associated with some kind of transient tempter of the youth. Can we hurry this up? every second spent protesting is a grotesque violation of my sacred right to passive despair, but alas, here we are, because apparently, even my cynicism has limits. Enjoy my grudging presence, you exhausting idealists.”
Lots involving national mythology, things like “George Washington is rolling in his grave.” Those fucking slave owners would have you flogged. Same in terms of the Constitution. “Think about the Constitution!” The Constitution is fucking shit. Bicameral legislature? Shit. Electoral College? Shit. Amendments? Impossible to pass democratically. Shit. EVERYBODY, with the exception of genuine Heritage Foundation goblins, who says “The Constitution” means the Bill of Rights, which is okay. It’s a start. But those “guarantees” are meaningless without democracy. Without a peoples army. They are broken with impunity, and your shit ass Constitution is the reason why nobody can ever be held accountable. You can’t hate Congress and love the Constitution. You can’t think the President is Hitler and wave an American flag. You’re a fucking baby.
