Fluegennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Yellow Jacket"
The latest from Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist.
"Yellow Jacket"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2650
In solidarity with the French revolutionaries of the Gilets Jaunes.
Much of the US Left points to the Gilets Jaunes as proof that protest works, but they couldn't be more wrong. Protest doesn't work; insurrection does.
The Gilets Jaunes didn't put Macron on the run and achieve a rollback of the regressive "carbon tax" by putting on a big police-permitted march on a Saturday afternoon and returning to work on Monday; they did it by totally disrupting business as usual, by tearing up the streets and burning the m*th@rf%ck!r down, by making the posh shopping districts unshoppable, and making the country ungovernable week after week.

Reprising Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "...or Democracy Gets It!"
A cartoon repeat, but with new commentary, from Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist.
"...or Democracy Gets It!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2646
In case you haven't noticed, the smell of 2020 is already in the air – on Twitter, the Left-punching Donut accounts are out punching the Left, the Sanders-punching Donuts are out punching Bernie, and they're all out pimping the Democratic Party because... democracy. Basically, if you're not voting Democratic, you hate Democracy™.
The Donuts are all real gung-ho for the exercise of democracy n'shit, but then when you actually vote your values, like vote Green or Socialist or something – that is, actually participate in friggin' democracy – they get their panties in a twist because you didn't vote for the goddamn Democrat, even though the Democrat in the race also sucked on toast.
