Where's My Shovel?

 "I thought Cultural Appropriation was supposed to be a bad thing; a quite obvious and insulting expression of overt racism...I guess that only applies to wearing outrageously-oversized hoop earrings and shooting people in fast food restaurants over cold fries and no free refills." -- The Overlord

At Least Cruelty Sometimes Sleeps...

 "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity at some point satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Hell of Earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's own will and to be cured of states we do not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles and domestic animals..." -- C.S. Lewis, "God in the Dock; Essays on Theology"
