Remember the bit in The Lego Movie where Princess Unikitty's pose as a business woman consists of her shouting gibberish while carrying a briefcase?
A day by day look at Chris Muir's Day By Day, punctuated by efforts to make the hurting stop.

I have to say, the confident declarations of how things work that are not how they work are reaching a sort of fever pitch in the strip these days.

And this underlines the problem shared by all Muir's baddies, but which his immigrant hordes have extra-bad--the inability to be a true threat. They may bluster, but Muir will always write them as cowardly incompetents who are no match for his cast. And yet Muir will continuously insist that they are a major threat that justify all his cast's actions.

I'd ask if Muir even really understands the H1B visas he's ranting about, but he clearly doesn't. Just 'furiner BAD!' and 'Dey afta ow wimmen!'.

You know, as everything goes exactly as we expected, it's worth noting that Muir's immigrant hordes are essentially depicted with the photographic negative of Muir's own sexual hangups. Where Muir depicts his own obsession with women's bodies as simply natural, and his own misogyny as a proper views arrived at through reason, the hordes are dangerous, reactionary sexual threats. Because, of course, in his mind, Muir can't see how he'd be a threat to women, while being unable to imagine his immigrants as anything but just that.

There is something simultaneously creepy, comical and pathetic about the way that once you enter Muir's 'Not White' spectrum--aside from a few tokens so he can 'not racist'--you're just part of an indistinct blob that he imagines as functionally identical, a brown-skinned wrecker who just wants to rape and ruin. Indians look just like Mexicans, look just like Muslims, because, well, they're all about the same, right?
An impoverished view from an impoverished mind that imagines dragging the entire nation down to its level would strengthen it, instead of ruin it.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if we're about to get the revelation that being Irish is no longer sufficiently White in the Muirverse.
Admit it, it tracks.
