I find it ironic that you, a libertarian, are pointing out the threat of a Brave New World style dystopia. The Western world's entertainment industry is an almost exclusively private sector. Its uncontrollable growth in prosperous countries is very much a feature of capitalism, not the result of any kind of state intervention. In fact, I can't imagine any concrete way to curtail it that doesn't involve giving the government even more control over our lives.

1. I'm not a libertarian, I'm a moderate.  There's a difference.

2. I'm not blaming the government, I'm just saying it's a rather unsettling trend.

Didn't someone here post proof that One million Moms is nothing more than a dozen old men anyway?
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

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!

Fucking truth. Plus one billion.
Ultimate Paragon admits to fabricating a hit piece on Politico.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

"The party must go wholly one way or wholly the other. It cannot face in both directions at the same time."

It's kind of an unusual message for a Polandball comic too, seeing as many of them can be quite racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, etc. I remember it got to the point where "Anschluss" rape jokes (basically comparing Nazi Germany's land-grabs with rape) had to be banned for a while on r/polandball.
I know.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Well, they say that a broken clock is correct once a day.

Not exactly.  They say a stopped clock is right twice a day, but that's just me being anal.

On the other hand, a clock one minute fast is never correct.

Well, it depends on whether or not your clock uses 12-hour time or 24-hour time.

...If the broken clock uses 24-hour time it is probably digital in which case it either does not display any numbers or maybe blinks 0:00 or something. That would make it right once per day.
