Thank Goodness She's A Racist Now.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Spell of the Witch World.

We are now on Day 3 of Skye as Worm Girl and it really adds to the deep awful of the strips.

    Skye also continues to act as Muir's bizarre progressive straw-woman. Progressive (or just compassionate) Americans want to help migrant families, not just the men, and definitely not because they think of them as "noble savages" Once again it becomes painfully obvious that Muir hasn't talked to anyone on the other side of the aisle for a reaaaaally long time, and doesn't understand, or even care to try to understand, how we actually think.

      You beat me by two minutes and seized on the exact same thing. Both of us were really struck by what the whole "noble savages" reference reveals about how myopic and isolated from real-life politics Muir is.
      In a way it ties in neatly with the popular right-wing trope "virtue-signalling", which in my opinion epitomizes the nihilism and ugly cynicism of their worldview. They can't conceive of anyone being motivated by genuine empathy or sympathy, so they think all expressions of concern or support are performative and self-serving.

      God, am I glad I don't live in their world. What an ugly, cold, miserable existence they have.

    A perfect example of how Muir does not speak with, or read the words of, any real-life progressives ---or even centrists---- and hasn't for a very long time.

    NO one in real life would view their efforts to help migrants/refugees, or their support of such efforts, through the narrative of the "noble savage". Hell, most people under the age of fifty probably don't even know that term at all. (I'm kind of surprised I do.)

    That Muir's mind even went there is just so profoundly gross. That's the only word I can think of. Gross.

    The Peanut Gallery is out in full force on the "believing their own made-up fantasies" front --- particularly the popular right-wing canard that most modern immigrants don't successfully assimilate.
    And Gregory in particular lays bare how draconian this crowd is.

    Tragedies like the senseless murder of that Georgia student by that thug from Venezuela just now reinforce the disgusting garbage these people have bought into, despite their statistical rarity.

      Yep. Gross is definitely the appropriate word for it.

      And note that Skye says she feels like she should take in a migrant man--once again Muir, through the vehicle of Skye, tells us exactly what he thinks about women. Liberal or conservative, their main motivation in life is to please and attract men. (Just that in Skye's case, she's attracted to the wrong men or not following the rules about how or when she is supposed to please them.)

      Good eye. I missed that dimension to it. Yeah----it probably never occurred to Muir even for a second to insert a hypothetical migrant woman into that scenario. After all, it's men who are raping the west, or whatever.

      Oh no....wait. Isn't it WOMEN who are destroying the west? By inviting the men IN? Yeah, that's it. The whores are bad because they're whores, and plus they're inviting in the rapists, who will.....rape.....everyone else along with them?..... Oh yeah, I've got it----that's when we get to this crowd's endless morbid obsession with male-on-male rape.
      So the whores invited in the rapists, who raped them, and then raped the rest of us. And the beta males all welcomed it. And since they're 99% of the western male population, the west is fucked because there aren't enough Zeds (or Chris Muirs) to save it, and they wouldn't want to save it anyway because the whores were asking for it.


      I need to lie down.

      Right?? Digging too deep into this stuff is dangerous for one's mental health.

    She essentially treats her former politics the way a recovering alcoholic does drinking--a bad habit that she can slip back into if she isn't careful.
