Whats so confusing is how conservatives can say "don't tread on me" then vote to ban abortion
or "join or die" then say 'violence is never the answer'

It's amazing how many Gadsden flags are next to Thin Blue Line flags.

"Don't tread on me, unless you're in the group of people who can kill citizens with impunity, then you do what you want because I've no critical thinking skills."

If there isn't at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.

Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2

Yeah, metal shears with a nice long handle to make cutting through hardened objects more easily.

And wouldn't you know it but turpentine is an antiseptic and pain reliever...

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I still don't get it. My metal shears don't open enough for anything but sheet metal, and they're definitely not suitable for anything hardened. I get the feeling that the reference is about using them on people, but I don't understand how.

The comic is about women’s reproductive rights and how righties want to take that away from them. The woman is suggesting the same be done to men, using the tools she mentions, with turpentine being the disinfectant.

Ok, so what's with the turpentine?

Burning shit down to the ground. There have been many attacks on abortion clinics that included attempts and/or successful burning.
