Guillotine for Bastille Day
Guillotine: A device to improve and standardize the practice of execution by beheading so that state-sanctioned murder might be more enlightened.
Drewly today is a guillotine I drew on No Kings Day, which also happened to be the day Minnesota Democratic politicians were assassinated, so a political violence drawing felt wrong to publish.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
- Frederick Douglass
There is a lot of quiet submission and eager oppression happening in the United States right now, and it is allowing a lot of injustice. In response, people are resisting with words and with blows. If you don’t like demonstrations, protests, and riots, you can either look at why the people are protesting and try to fix things, or you can suppress demonstrations and limit the ability to demonstrate.
All people deserve to have food, shelter, education, opportunity, and safe honest personal expression. If you don’t agree with that, you should find another place for item cards.
What is Drewly?
#Drewly is the month-long art challenge for July, where you don’t have to make any new art. Just post art you’ve already made and celebrate all you’ve accomplished.
Rules:
Share art you have already made.
Share as often as you want.
