G-d's Kingdom Is A Hate-Free Zone

Quote from: Reploid Productions
Pardon the interruption, good sir/lady; there are aspects of your behavior that I find quite unbecoming, and I must insist most strenuously that I be permitted to assist in resolving these behaviors through the repeated high-velocity cranial introduction of particularly firm building materials.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

In college, one can learn many important lessons, such as "It's important to stand firm for your principles and speak up against sexist microaggressions."

A good cartoon.

I keep reading "microaggressions" as "microtransactions" for some reason.

I was thinking:

Barely political. Doesn't really make any point and certainly no new poit

Not overly funny and very heavy reliance on cliche that has been around for 20 years and flogged to death.

Minimises genuine problems with indigenous americans and seeks to elide the cause for those problems by belittling them.

Reasonably good drawing.

Overall I would say  3/10

You just said what I was thinking, but what I am too intoxicated to put into coherent words. You are truly a benevolent lord cracker.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

just checked my definition of eurocentrism. it's what i thought. thanksgiving is not eurocentric, seeing as it's a traditional north american holiday, celebrated only in north america. most europeans either don't know of its existence or see it from a bias lens ("celebrating the hostile takeover of the americas").

I aim to please. I've been drinking too much lately but it's not to do with this place.

That's because you are using a different definition Eurocentrism. It is possible that this straw-person of a SJW is using "Euro" to refer to ethnicity rather than location.

...Or the artist just made wordsalad with words that Tumblrites use when they complain about things.

The latter is probably more likely.

i've seen it used geographically (like on a map), politically (as opposed to euro-sceptic), and sociologically (re:colonization). but i've never seen it used ethnically. there's just too much difference. hell, we live on two ends of the compass regarding europe, and we're not even talking about greece, bulgaria, or croatia. i'm sure someone would get offended mixing up a spaniard with a swede, nevermind serbs with croatians or something like that.

i've overthought this, meaning your second solution is most likely.
