text from Terry Pratchett; art by Higgs who's tumblr i've linked
i can't rember which book this is from -- i wanna say it's Men at Arms but it could even be Guards Guards. Higgs seems to think it's Night Watch, but I'm pretty sure it happened before that...
in the post here
It's libs first critique of conservative talking points about the poor. Can be worthwhile rhetorically if someone earnestly believes that poor people make bad financial decisions and is willing to change their mind, but how often is that?
quite common actually
Huh, I feel like deep down a lot of conservatives know their post-hoc demonisations of the poor are crap, they just say stuff.
I think it varies but they quite often do actually believe someone can with enough protestant work ethic pull themselves up by their bootstraps
many are actually trying to help in their stupid stupid way
