Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "'White Paper' Revolution"

From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist

"'White Paper' Revolution"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3554

Welp... (siggghhh) another day, another US-cheered and instigated  protest "movement" for "freedom" in China, slavishly "reported" by the 
US boss' media. Hell, they've even got a cute gimmick and a cute  nickname to go with it already. The "White Paper" Revolution, the wags 
are calling it at the State Department, NED, USAID, New York Times, 
Washington Post, and every goddamn cable news network on Earth, and it's supposedly all about some Ayn Rand concept of "freedom" from the testing and quarantine requirements of China's largely successful 
public health response, which is aimed at getting as close to 
completely eradicating the virus as they can get — as opposed to the 
US, which abandoned the population to its own devices to sicken and 
die of COVID19 to the tune of just over a million people last year.

Freedom, my ass — the freedom of ignorant, Ayn Rand brutalists whose 
twisted ideas of "bodily autonomy" include no concept 
whatsogoddamnever of acting conscientiously or making small sacrifices 
for the public good. It's the freedom of selfish chuds who want 
haircuts and ice cream, who want to be "served" no matter what the 
actual human cost.

This astroturf circus isn't about freedom, it's about the likes of 
Tesla, Intel, Apple and others who are impatient to literally work 
people to death in China the way they have in the US for the past two 
years.

I built a store for my website, on which to sell stuff I design as well as original art and prints.
