Lmao this was the same artist who made a full page comic panel telling people to suck it up and vote Harris without demanding changes or improvements for another 4 years, assuming she actually won.
Liberals don’t do jack when it comes to outrageous actions, they won’t ever move past protests.
Even the recent shooter wasn’t some longtime liberal or even a leftist. He was just some dude who was fed up and likely suffered various mental pain which is why they caught him with all the possible incriminating evidence they needed. He had no true intention of slipping away, he somehow convinced himself that what he did would give him enough public support for change (regardless of whether or not that will actually happen).
If there isn’t at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.
Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2
Turpentine I can understand having for various reasons (lighting shit on fire, removing paint/ink/pepperspray), but what is the need for tin snips? cutting the zip-tie handcuffs used by riot police?
They’re for removing male reproductive organs.
I think they’re for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.
OP just made it sound like they are needed for any type of protest or demonstration, so I assumed they had use beyond just reproductive rights marches. Plus, turpentine can be used as an antiseptic, but there are lots of less conspicuous antiseptics available.
I like your answer, too, though.
Know how many times you’ll find yourself out and about and suddenly needing to perform an emergency, involuntary vasectomy and then discover you left your tin snips and turpentine at home?
Only once. You only make that mistake once. Keep it in your daily carry.
Let’s say Jewelry making… I feel like that’s plausible?
I should buy some jewelry making paraphernalia … for reasons.
Welders are great for jewelry making
Yeah, I would think bolt cutters would be more useful.
Nah but rubber bands are effective
We did to cattle growing up.
Their nuts just fall off.
Yeah, meanwhile I’ve used bolt cutters more than most people (anarchism got me doing bicycle repair and salvaging which involves them front time to time), and they work by leveraging the stiffness. They aren’t actually sharp, they’re just dull scissors with a fuck ton of leverage
Yeah, the harder the steel the better bolt cutters work.
They suck with a real mild steel.
sheep, too.
The sheep fall off the cattle?
bollocks!
their balls fall off. the rubber bands. on sheep.
harder to carry and conceal, though.
Cutting holes in fences, as in trespassing to vandalize or cause havoc.
I wouldn’t mind some tin snips and turpentine
“I’m gonna mess with Texas” haha
noooo it’s an anti-littering campaign and last time I was anywhere but austin in the state, hoo boy the litter.
Ok, so what’s with the turpentine?
Burning shit down to the ground. There have been many attacks on abortion clinics that included attempts and/or successful burning.
Gotcha. Didn’t know that’s what it was used for.
Or tinships? My only guess is castration and cauterizing the wound, but that’s an extreme shot in the dark.
It was a pretty crude way to castrate. It was done that way a few hundred years back. I’ve heard that expression before. The first time was when I was really young. The tin snips were very sharp the and the turpentine sealed the wound by chemically burning the flesh. I’m pretty sure its what they did to some pigs when I was very young. I know the pigs made a lot of noise.
Well I’m not expert - the only thing I’ve ever read about castrating pigs was in some novel in high school where a guy’s job was to tie the testicles off with string or twine and presumably after a while they fell off. Seemed pretty cringey to us all at the time.
I’ve heard they use elastic or rubber bands nowadays (at least for steer), but the family sold the dairy like 30 years ago so I’ve been out of the loop a while.
Know who else wishes they were out of the loop? Those bulls lol.
Pretty sure that’s what it was referring to based on another comment. Also it being used to burn down buildings.
Why does she want to go and litter in Texas?
shithole state with shithole laws and shithole lawmakers. what’s confusing?
I just moved here and you’re not wrong. All the roads are fucked up, even in the suburbs. Everything just feels cheaper than Virginia.
The license plates aren’t even stamped, just a coat of paint lol. Major roads are just filled with potholes forever.
Went to a shooting range and they got mad at me for shooting too fast. Like what is the benefit of being here??? I thought you guys were free?
I just moved here for cost of living but partially regretting it
I miss the food. I miss some of the people. but it’s gotten worse every year for 2 decades.
hope you don’t have wives, daughters or mom’s in your family. just living in texas is a potential death penalty by sepsis, literally one of the most painful ways to die.
I don’t get it. This guy was shooting doctors? Why? Is there a second page to the comic?
I believe they’re referencing Dr. George Tiller.
What about the turpentine reference?
I don’t get it either. isn’t turpentine just a paint thinner, sometimes used in mixes to make varnishes or clean furniture? smells awful.
I think it’s because turpentine is associated with DIY abortion and maybe slavery. Men “fixing” women and the women having to “unfix” themselves. Using different solutions to induce abortion.
The tin snips and vasectomies is a decent clue.
Isn’t it also highly flammable? My first thought with the comic was it would be used for arson.
Can we talk about how the amount of anti abortion women and anti abortion men is about equal?
Check the skin tone and age cohort. You’re going to find some large discrepancies. Also skews heavily by education, as women early in their collegiate or professional careers tend to be significantly more sensitive about the prospect of getting pregnant than peers in low-paying jobs with little upward mobility.
There’s definitely a profile of a pro-abortion and anti-abortion voter.
This will surely change people’s minds!
Why is America so fucked up on both sides?
“leave it at protests” as if they aren’t already mass murdering children
Drama queen
it takes balls to post stuff like that on Lemmy, and I commend you for it. also, I agree with you. so there’s that.
A man is being a bit sarcastic and the angry feminist protester is threatening to mutilate his genitals?
No wonder Trump and Abbott won.
Hmm yeah it’s almost like we shouldn’t tell a person what to be doing with their body…. Wooosh
That isn’t a man, it’s a conservative. Less than a bug.
facts.
