Ladies and gentlemen, we live in politically turbulent times and parties left and right are abusing this chaotic situation to slowly take away our freedoms.
What is a man to do in this whirlwind of conflicting ideologies?
I no longer wish to be “above” it all, sneering at everyone like a cowardly fence-sitter. The time to take action is now! And one can only take action by adhering to an existing political body, now is not the time nor the place for individualism.
Hence I have decided to defend my beliefs as a LIBERTINE from the jaws of the establishment. And how shall I do this, you’re probably wondering?
Simple, I hereby abandon my career as an animator and devote myself to the most noble and divine of professions, I shall become a political cartoonist.
This will become quite a task for me, however, because being a political cartoonist is probably the most challenging task within the creative industry. You must brilliantly analyze the current zeitgeist and political flow, and contextualize it with brilliant visual gags to make your truth bombs stick in the minds of the hoi poloi.
Imagine if there were no people on this globe sitting comfortably on their buttocks, telling other people what to think, through cartoons, blogs and youtube videos. Without these noble warriors society would surely collapse!
And to quote John Wilmot; “I have to speak my mind. Because what is in my mind is always more interesting than what is happening in the world outside my mind.”
So here is my first political cartoon of many:
By Bacchus and Eros, I feel like I’m born anew. I know the intellectual brilliant and magnificent deconstruction of the contemporary zeitgeist and the authoritarian rule of displaced moralism pictured above may be a tough pill to swallow for those who have not yet been enlightened by the ecole de libertinage, but it MUST BE DONE.
TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE!
