Conservatism as defined in modern America is not environmentalist.


Conservatism defined in pre-1960s England was anti-industrialist/pastoral, though environmentalism as we know it probably didn't occur to anybody at the time.

Which is swell, but the list was posted on February 10.  Of this year.

Or possibly Bird wasn't imitating Atlas Shrugged but, oh, I don't know, FUCKING WATCHMEN.

Because Ozymandias is totally more sympathetic than Rorschach.

That's...a bit of a non sequitur and trying to draw too direct a parallel.  I was talking about the Keene Act.

(...oh hey, any relation?  Because if he's your uncle or something then yeah people should probably stop arguing with you.)

Sadly no, and no relation to Brandon Bird either, but man, wouldn't that change like pretty much everything about my interaction with this community if it were true?

My uncle did that thing where it's got the Martin Luther King assassination but it looks like The Sims.

Was Watchmen really the first instance of the government deciding that vigilantism actually is illegal in comics?

On that scale, I believe so. Individual masked men had run afoul of the law before that, but I think Watchmen was the first instance where it was federal law.
