SAY U NEED? NOES! WANT? YEZ

“You shameless militarist, we will transform your country into a sea of fire!”
Propaganda from the mouth of Kim Ill Jung

Found on an Exceptional Site

Actual propaganda available from the North Koreans and promulgated here in America in the attempt, probably futile, that world opinion might have an effect on the luxury loving dictator, who rewards top aides and military supporters with luxury goods from the West while a large portion of his population is on the verge of starvation. Excellent place for research into the use of propaganda and dictatorial policies.

U NO REPLIES TO QUESTION WITH THE DUMB, U DO, U TEH DUMB!

ARE YOU A ZOMBIE?
Are you one of the politically challenged?

• Can you identify the last 3 Presidents of the United States ( or the head of state for the country in which you live)?
• Can you name at least one decision by your topmost legal body, in the US it’s the Supreme Court?
• Do you know how to vote (are there rules about how you get to exercise your right, is it prove you are a citizen, resident, pre-register)?
• Did you vote in your last election if you were able to (being old enough, resident, citizen)?
• Can you engage in a reasonable discussion, without resorting to fallacious arguments, or shouting, about issues that concern you?

If you can say yes to at least 3 of the above questions, consider yourself a political lightweight, if 4 is the number, a political middleweight, and all 5 means you can be considered a candidate (just kidding).

If you cannot answer even one, consider watching, or re-watching Shaun of the Dead, and enjoying the role of bitten/infected. If you would prefer to take up violence against those who argue with you, consider professional help, or immigrating to a country that has similar attitudes, Syria, Iran, Afganistan all seem to have many folks like that, Northern Ireland as well, but they seem to be getting better, and forget South Africa, they’ve beaten that plague and seem to be most healthy these days.

Most people will end up using the dictionary to look up the word fallacious, and most politicians will employ them where ever they seem to provide the most advantage for them. However, being able to spot when they are used is helpful in making informed decisions about who you should vote for, or against.

If you are not a zombie, or worse, a victim of maninquinism run rampant, congratulations, and thank you. It is hard work to maintain a sense of integrity, participation and rationality in these times.

U NO LIK QUESTIONS, U WAIT.

U TRIES, WE LIKEZ.

Satire

Satire is the form of use taken by using the logic pattern of the ancients and applying it to everyday problems. Reductio ad absurdum is the proper name, and it means to reduce to absurdity. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, it seems to me that satire in the form of pictures, with comments to help the humor or politically impaired, is perfect. Its true purpose is really not humor per se, but rather criticism of an event, an individual or a group in a clever manner.

In ancient times the Socratic method of discovering truth by asking questions very often leads to satire and absurdity just by virtue of the kinds of questions that are asked. We here at loliticz.com try to attain the little child question mindset for as long as we can while looking for images to use to send a little truth and a lot of humor out into people’s lives. People who voluntarily put their lives into the public spotlight have little to complain about when the folks they are trying to influence are critical of their actions and intentions.

As many of the most famous satirists of history have done, pseudonyms are used to protect the identities of the writers. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, used the pseudonym Publius while writing The Federalist Papers. Benjamin Franklin’s use of Richard Saunders to publish Poor Richards Almanac, and many others are well established as “nome de plume”, or in reality “nome de guerre”

Here at loliticz.com we take on the precocious nature of cats, in the internet tradition of lolcat, icanhazcheeseburger, and 4chan speak. Cats are insufferably arrogant, haughty, superior beings by nature, and we strive to emulate them as much as possible. They are also awesomely funny, clever, whimsical creatures as well, and we strive to elicit as much of that as we can as well. They are after all, able to define some of the forces of nature, like quantum physics, (Schrödinger’s human did some work in that area) and they possess wisdom we mere humans do not.

It is not enough to simply have an image of a politician doing something silly, although some politicians do have some awe inspiring talents for getting photographed doing amazingly silly, stupid, bone-achingly, pig-ignorant things.

We strive to point out the folly’s of the past and the present in a cohesive non partizan way that will educate, amuse and enlighten out viewers/readers. As Wikipedia says, “Often the target is examined by being held up for ridicule, typically in the hope of shaming it into reform.”
