I'LL CENSOR YOUR FUCKING FACE!

Second of the two images submitted to Thunk issue four [link] Unfortunately they were a little too late to make the cut. :saddummy:

This is a comment upon the fiasco between various US government agencies and Anonyous in the wake of SOPA and all that jazz.

I liked the idea but ended up rushing it, so it's a bit of a hack-job in terms of execution. Repetitive things and I do not get along in a painting/drawing. :stare:

Once again I used a dip-pen to get a more aggressive and stark style than my fine-liner cartoons had. Which do you prefer? :meow:

Mood: Outraged ~CrunchBandicoot May 12, 2012  Hobbyist General Artist
It infuriates me to no end that my so-called "government" can step all over its citizens.

Not just with things like SOPA, but indefinite detention in the NDAA, voter suppression laws, banning gay marriage in 30 states, military bases all over the world where they don't belong, kissing China's ass, the list goes on.

John McCain (i.e. militaristic right winger and election loser) wanted the military to read Americans' emails. Any American's. He seems hell-bent on turning the USA into a full-blown police state.

I'm a member of the ACLU and several other organizations; we lobby and protest against these things (and have a good track record for the most part), but it seems to be getting harder.

And a bunch of idiots mock Anonymous, Occupy Wall Street, whoever for trying to stand up for freedom. I don't see those whiners doing anything :X

Yes, there are bad apples in every group, but still--

Lastly, I've always thought the Uncle Sam character was/is a sleazy, back-stabbing douchebag. I hate his goddamn face.

...Sorry, but stuff like this puts me in a horrible mood.

Well, I wouldn't be doing my job if my political cartoons didn't affect people like this one affected you. =p

The level of intrusiveness the US government wants in the private lives of it's citizens is quite shocking though, and that's coming from someone who lives in a country with more CCTV cameras per person than any other. :stare:

Yeah, I hate it.

And the CC cameras all over England is disturbing, too. 1984 was a warning, not a blueprint.

I mean, why are they doing this? It's horrible :(

Are you insinuating that I'm somehow white-knighting? If you are then I think you're somewhat confused as to what a white knight actually is, which wouldn't surprise me. And it's 'worse', not 'worst'; try to speak your own language correctly. :meow:

There's nothing to defend yourself from, so you're not defending yourself, but rather are hysterically attacking others in retaliation for some perceived slight against you, and you're doing it the coward's way with an alt account too. You know blocking people and then attacking them with an alt is a bannable offense? :pat:
