Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is starting to look like a reasonable basis for a system of government!.
@babe Hmm I am looking for a career path. Maybe I should try it.
@diffractie @babe Go for it. My dream job is Angel of Death. I can even bring my own flaming sword.
@babe Supreme executive power relies on a mandate from the MASSES, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!
@babe Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords seems reasonable to folks as a system of governence, but if I lay in a creek as a feral nonbonary queer throwing pitchforks, suddenly I'm antagonistic
@Thatonepersonwithaface @babe you just can't win with some people
@independentpen @babe I tried throwing salad forks from a dry tributary to declare folks highway assessors, but business ain't picking up for us
@babe always has been
@babe Emphasis on *women*, keep the men out of it, we keep fucking things up.
@babe What? No war axes or maces? A two-handed broad sword might look impressive, but it can be cumbersome to wield.
@babe I thought this was gonna say "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords in your area!"

@babe

We could call it 'romantic sortition'!

@babe And just like that, my next protest sign

@VoiceofDuum @babe

Better than a strange orange man, lying with every word he says.

@babe I'd settle for leaders who haven't got shit all over them.
@babe I'd love to see Starmer and Farage challenge the claim of someone wielding Excalibur. The first two rows in that debate may need umbrellas.
@babe you're telling that bevause climate change is making the pond all warm and cozy
@babe πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@babe prepared to hear what the watery tarts have to say. Willing to consider the moist bint platform.
@babe had me at strange womeb
@babe Yes, keep the ambitious out of it. People get positions of power foisted upon them by necessity of merit instead, not through blind ambition absent of ability. This all sounds very reasonable.
@babe up the matriarchy of the scimitar lobbing moistened bints...

@babe On the contrary, I think a network of anarcho-sydicalist collectives, where people take turns acting as a sort of executive officer for the week etc, is looking like an increasingly reasonable alternative.

Also I think it's very relevant that Arthur starts that interaction by misgendering Dennis and ends it with direct physical violence.
