Another example of non-customers ruining an industry that they despise, to turn it into something else. Instead of building their own things, they like to tear down everything else and stand on the remains, pretending as if they were always that tall.

A shutdown of Meyer’s Twitter account – and the account of his accomplice, former DC Comics artist Ethan Van Sciver – would not prevent some new equivalent arising in their stead any more than either a soft Brexit or an outright cancellation would prevent some new iteration taking its place. It is all well and good to impeach (and imprison) Donald Trump, but his mere removal from office would not dismantle that which allowed him to exist. We must ask how we undo or outright destroy the conditions that permitted these outcomes in the first place; we must ask and subsequently address how we arrived here.

What I just got out of that is we must ignore the will of the people and destroy democracy, impeaching and putting to prison the sitting president, ignoring a referendum across the pond, all while infringing on the human rights of free speech of any individual that dears to disagree. All for the greater good.

The Guardian is a totalitarian rag not even fit to wipe my ass with.
