Lmao this was the same artist who made a full page comic panel telling people to suck it up and vote Harris without demanding changes or improvements for another 4 years, assuming she actually won.

Liberals don't do jack when it comes to outrageous actions, they won't ever move past protests.

Even the recent shooter wasn't some longtime liberal or even a leftist. He was just some dude who was fed up and likely suffered various mental pain which is why they caught him with all the possible incriminating evidence they needed. He had no true intention of slipping away, he somehow convinced himself that what he did would give him enough public support for change (regardless of whether or not that will actually happen).

Ok, so what's with the turpentine?

Or tinships? My only guess is castration and cauterizing the wound, but that's an extreme shot in the dark.

It was a pretty crude way to castrate. It was done that way a few hundred years back. I've heard that expression before. The first time was when I was really young. The tin snips were very sharp the and the turpentine sealed the wound by chemically burning the flesh. I'm pretty sure its what they did to some pigs when I was very young. I know the pigs made a lot of noise.

Well I'm not expert - the only thing I've ever read about castrating pigs was in some novel in high school where a guy's job was to tie the testicles off with string or twine and presumably after a while they fell off. Seemed pretty cringey to us all at the time.

I've heard they use elastic or rubber bands nowadays (at least for steer), but the family sold the dairy like 30 years ago so I've been out of the loop a while.

Not for this comic it isn't.

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Pretty sure that's what it was referring to based on another comment. Also it being used to burn down buildings.

Burning shit down to the ground. There have been many attacks on abortion clinics that included attempts and/or successful burning.

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Gotcha. Didn't know that's what it was used for.
