The extent to which this has become a strip for paranoid wingnuts and paranoid wingnuts alone gets you sometimes.

  1. What is any of this even referring to??

    And while I'm at it, what the heck is the "sharks with freakin' lasers" thing, anyway? It's not the first time Muir's used that phrase.

    1. There was a UN "Pact for the Future" signed by world leaders. I haven't looked into it too closely, but I'm sure it acknowledges climate change, LGBTQ+ and women's rights, etc. Hence Muir's portrayal of it as coming straight from the mouth of hell.

      I think the sharks with lasers is a movie quote of some sort?

    2. The painful irony of the extreme right being so paranoid about the UN is that in real life, the UN is increasingly, and rather desperately, weak to the point of being almost useless. I mean, there have been reports that Netanyahu ordered the strikes on Lebanon from INSIDE the building when he was just there. (If it wasn't so evil, I'd have to congratulate him on pulling off the most audacious trolling act of all time.)

    3. "Sharks with frickin' lasers" comes from the Austin Powers movies, where Dr. Evil, the parody of the traditional James Bond villain, wants his base to have "sharks with laser beams attached to their heads".
