The state is coercive by definition. The choices are presented to make us feel like we have some control, but they serve only to feed the illusion of legitimacy.
Cartoon Text ( Why is this here? )
The State: Choose… Choose the form of your destruction!
Ghostbuster1: Empty your minds! Don’t think of anything!
The State: The choice is made.
Ghostbuster2: I tried to think of the most harmless politician, a congressman who’s never voted to raise taxes, who wants to end the Iraq war, a staunch defender of constitutional government. It’s Ron Paul.
Great work as always, Dale. These last two have been great images for why the Ron Paul fad (pardon me, “rEVOLution”), like the past decades of libertarian political action, is doomed to failure, even if the campaign is a success. Ron Paul IS the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man — the supposedly harmless creature that can still rain down terror on the people. I just hope all the people attacking him don’t cross their proton streams . . . .
Don’t fear Ron Paul … he means no harm … and is made of marshmallow.
A real nightmare would have the head of Hillary or that scary Rudy guy. “I’m here to save you from the terrorists.”
This is awesome, a real parody on pop culture. I totally loved Ghost Busters as a kid, and it still cracks me up 20 years later. Dude, you have the most wicked sense of humour…..
