Before the bullshit threshold I’m calmly reading what the liberal says, and calmly explaining stuff like:
why capitalism won’t fix itself
why it’s a bad idea to give the Nazi a voice, Weimar Republic style
why all this “my country” thing is inane, and why we should be identifying ourselves first and foremost as human beings
why and how gender and sex are different things
But as the liberal keeps babbling, and enters the bullshit threshold, my attitude suddenly flips to something like “aaaah, cut off the crap! I already explained this, dammit. Do you need to be spoonfed basic [reading comprehension | reasoning]???”
I don’t typically use the word “bootlicker” in English, but in Portuguese I do use “pelego” (kind of the same thing) a fair bit.
In that case, I will compliment your skill in making a drawing look messy and care-free whilst still being legible, resulting in an assertive style that I appreciate
Thank you! This sort of graph is actually easy to do in Inkscape:
Use the “calligraphy” tool for lines; default configs, quick strokes. If the stroke gets slightly off it’s OK, but if it’s really off simply redraw it (easier than trying to fix it). The dashed lines are simply sequences of lines using the same tool.
For the text plenty cursive fonts work fine; I used First-Grader, but Lehn183, Berenice, and even Comic Sans would be good options.
Red background: I found easier to start with a larger-than-necessary rectangle, and then shave it off by subtracting copies of other elements.
If any object is a bit too detailed, or has rough edges, a few hits of the “simplify” tool (Ctrl+L) fixes it.
For me it’s both, I guess?

Ooh, I like that image. I have a friend who would love that graph — do you know who I should credit if I share it?
I did it on the spot, no credit needed. If I knew people wanted it I would’ve saved the .svg.
