Frank comes across two police officers who are fans of his. They take a selfie with him and show they have a sticker of his logo on their car before comparing their work to his. Unimpressed, the Punisher tears up the sticker and tells them, "I'll say this once, we're not the same. You took an oath to uphold the law. You help people. I gave that up a long time ago. You don't do what I do. Nobody does. You boys need a role model? His name's Captain America, and he'd be happy to have you.... If I find out you are trying to do what I do, I'll come for you next."

Punisher Vol. 12, #13

I love that Gerry Conway took back over the book EXCLUSIVELY to make Punisher threaten some cops who had his skull on their bumper.

We need to educate the living shit out of all those conservative dipshits so they stop doing so many dumb fucking things.

"You can lead a horse to water by you can't make them think." Adapting this adage I come up with "You can lead a conservative to information but you can't make them think."

Doesn’t even have to be education, but just some critical thinking skills. Just ask yourself some simple questions, “Why are they doing this?” or “How will this benefit me?”

Education is the solution. It always is. We need to educate the living shit out of all those conservative dipshits so they stop doing so many dumb fucking things.

The problem is they think that they are educated and that they have researched these topics by going to websites run by conservative think tanks. Once that's in their minds, they begin pushing any alternative viewpoint away as liberal propaganda because, in their mind, they've already researched it. They can't even consider that their research might have been compromised from the beginning to lead them to a purposefully wrong conclusion.

It can be corrected, but it takes a LOT of effort to undo 40+ years of misinformation and propaganda being drip fed to the populace through media conglomerates like Fox News, moonlighting as far and balanced sources of information. Purposefully sprinkling bits of reality in to point to when confronted about it.

You're not actually working to change someone's point of view on one topic, you're having to show them that potentially their entire belief system is based on lies and deceit to manipulate them, and not based on reality and facts.

It's not about printers? "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" sounds like most printers these days.

I would like the universe even more if it gave Paul Ryan perpetual kidney stones.
