Every time I hear that chant, I look around and see only white people. So I guess democracy looks like a Klan rally without the sheets.

[sabotabby]

I don't even think the anarkids around here bother with it anymore. They just let people get arrested.

Fuck Baby Hedgehog! Give Me Baby Sloth!

[sabotabby]

I also left off baby pandas. The system is flawed.

That's the most awful fucking thing I've ever seen. Oh my god, it keeps opening and closing it's mouth. My internal organs are beginning to malfunction.

[douglain.livejournal.com]

It's cute!

[andreazenith.livejournal.com]

Awh! He just wants to nurse, poor little guy.

I haven't seen otters holding hands or that stupid polar bear cub so I can't decide.

[sabotabby]

Otters:

Fucking polar bear:

Otters are clearly superior but not as good as kittens.

Or cop chopper attacking cats:

... And the ending totally makes it.

[sabotabby]

Too bad about the beginning. Still, that's some awesome cat footage.

I know a Richard Day. Wonder if it's the same guy.

[apperception.livejournal.com]

Why do you get to be drunk at this time of the day??

[sabotabby]

I'm special.

[mistersmearcase.livejournal.com]

Aw, kittens. What?

What's wrong with Cute Knut?

[sabotabby]

He is very cute. I'm sick of the manufactured controversy over whether he should live or die and whether he's responsible for panda deaths. I suppose it's not the bear's fault, mind you.

O, I see. Democracy ain't cute.

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't want to be ruled by a baby hedgehog. So maybe it's a good thing that democracy is not a cutiepie animal.

On a tangent, when are we going to tear down the pedestals which we have built for our long suffering cute animals? Isn't "cute" just a convenient human pretext to deprive animals of their democratic rights? Freedom, liberty, right to vote, right to poo anywhere they choose. Please ix-plain.

[sabotabby]

It's a benevolent dictatorship. Or something. Though my cats poo anywhere they choose.

[elgordochico.livejournal.com]

You realize, of course, that your cats' "choice" is just false consciousness, don't you? (Kablemo! Thank you, Karl Marx by way of Friedrich Engels!)

But you made me realize another reason for why democracy shouldn't be cute. Because, if it were cute, you couldn't hate it so much that you had to change it, like, for instance, when it poos on your life.

And when democracy pooes, it pours.

(Beat.)

Pretend you didn't just read that.

[sabotabby]

Just for that, you get a scatological icon.

[terry-terrible.livejournal.com]

Opps....I posted a vote without picking a choice. But I wanted to ask, are you talking about big D Democracy* or democracy**?

*The "offical" historical version

** The real deal.

[sabotabby]

I'm being silly. But the former, not the latter.

Demockracy

[pghwob.livejournal.com]

It always strikes me as a bit humorous (and yet disturbing) that a mob running through the streets during a protest (ok, walking, whatever...) constitutes democracy. No more so than a bunch of corporations playing puppeteer with the state.

Re: Demockracy

[sabotabby]

I always thought it was supposed to be ironic, as in democracy looks like a bunch of cops beating people up.
