As we are witnessing yet another round of the death spiral of imperialism, I was reminded of Césaire's quote on the domestic consequences of being an imperial power, which sadly aged well.

#quote #drawing #cesaire #imperialism #colonialism #trump #usa

[Aimé Césaire, in his later years, has a serious and slightly sad look on his face]
No one colonizes innocently
Nor does anyone colonize with impunity
A nation that colonizes, that justifies colonization - therefore force - is already a sick civilization, a civilization that is morally diseased, which, irresistibly, from consequence to consequence, from denial to denial, calls forth its own Hitler, that is to say, its punishment. Colonization is the bridgehead of barbarism within a civilization from which, at any moment, the negation of civilization itself may emerge.

- Aimé Césaire
Discourse on colonialism
1950

"Oh shit, they shot an innocent bystander" -> "Officer feared imminent vehicular bad vibes"

[at a lectern, an orange character grins smugly]
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I have gathered you here today to inform you that our God loving officer feared imminent vehicular bad vibes from an evil person.
Also videos of the event are fake and don't exist.
And if they do exist, they prove it was self defense.

[a character holds a delicious looking burger, seems eager to bite into it]

[close up on the character's mouth as they bite the burger, which is getting squished]

[the character is now looking sadly at the squished burger that has fallen apart, various sauces on their face and hands and all over the table]

[the character rages, causing the sauce on their face to splash around]

The operation was successful

Were there any casualties?

[orange]
No legitimate human has been hurt, trust me

Thank you, I have no further questions

Happy new year!

What a better way to start the year than with a random smug generator (said no one ever).

The tech behind it is pretty dank, hope you enjoy!

A quote I like from the Epic of Gilgamesh.

There's not many ancient representations of Siduri.
Hopefully what I drew is not too disgraceful.
