It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Wolf Dog.
I've noted it multiple times, but Muir's straw leftists get more bizarre and pathetic every year. Partially this is because his own politics have gotten so wretched that he needs ever more ridiculous opponents to make what he wants look good. But another part is the further Muir travels into fascism, the less and less capable he becomes of envisioning good government. Gunpowder is a nakedly criminal tyranny where the power of the state seems to exist only to persecute those the Compound dislikes, and where things are accomplished by fiat. His only way of imagining bad government now is 'the opposite of what I want', and that gets the ridiculous thing he throws out here, a government that is simultaneously tyrannical, and yet also can't do anything, somehow.
