A day by day look at Chris Muir's Day By Day, punctuated by efforts to make the hurting stop.
Yep, we're immediately in the "yay for fascism!" territory. Your blog title sums it up perfectly.
It's only fascism when it's done to them. When they do it to everyone else, it's The Country As It Should Be.
What’s really striking about this is that EVEN in the context of this insane world Muir depicts, this guy literally DID NOTHING. He got angry because he was arbitrarily refused service, and he started yelling in protest. That’s it. He didn’t even get physical. He literally was not presenting a threat. Yet he gets tazed three times by bystanders. And Muir presents this as right, moral and rational. Again, EVEN BY THE RULES OF THIS FICTIONAL REALITY, this guy didn’t DO anything. That’s what makes this a particularly chilling self-tell.
He was vaguely annoying and he didn't accept that he was a second-class citizen.
