I can't believe I'm saying this, but ''Statist and Anarchist'' could actually make for an alright stickfigure comic....if it were not for the stupid ass meme faces the author habitually slaps on for "humor". God dammit, those faces get so incredibly tiresome when he starts using them in strip after strip after strip. Yet it gets considerably worse when he starts putting in more copypasta, such as a photo of Donald Trump's face on a stick figure body, or ''Regular Show'' characters getting slapped in, [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-071-Open-Carry-594204124 or even a full background taken straight out of ''We Bare Bears''!] This is a gigantic affront to any kind of comic regardless of medium or genre!

This comicwebcomic is already at bad standing from the start, being boutabout political stereotypes. The Green party is a [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-060-Green-Party-587860566 dumb lazy pot smoking hippie] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-and-Anarchist-074-Free-Stuff-596375696 who wants stuff in life to be free.] Red Statist is a bigoted, [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-041-Gay-Marriage-563041613 illiterate,] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-045-Military-Spending-566207029 war mongering,] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-076-Donald-Trump-598397499 gun toting, tractor riding, Confederate Flag waving red neck that blindly follows Trump's every word.] And Blue Statist [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-095-Money-Printing-608969939 blindly follows liberal media and politics,] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-Tax-Havens-604551473 hates rich people] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-025-Statism-538072610 and wants more government institutions, regulations and things banned,] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-020-Peaceful-Protests-531433556 while throwing the occasional riot]. Now, stereotype based characters don't always need to be inherently negative. Take for instance, Humon's ''Scandinavia And The World'' comics. Most of the characters hold a balance between cute likeable moments and jerk antics. Its not trying to prod the audience into any one view either.

''Statist and Anarchist'' has no such practice going for it as its just Anarchist, and later Classic Liberal, as the lone, always correct sane man amongst a world of increasingly wacky idiots. He's not even trying to make the opposing arguments the least bit realistic. Like having Red Statist's reasons for fearing Mexican immigrants being the [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-077-Xenophobia-599264391 Spanish language, and Mexican food?] I'm Democrat and even I can think of better reasons, like there not being suitable jobs and resources to support a sudden population influx. Or there are gems such as this Alt Right [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-and-Anarchist-088-White-Genocide-605561946 stating that his own personal bigotry took over his reasoning.] Or Blue Statist outright admitting [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-035-Economics-101-555701028 that he only recognizes things as facts when they agree with his views]....This is ''Vegan Artbook'' levels of Strawman here! The author isn't even denying it, [http://stat-and-ancap.blogspot.com/2015/01/strawmen.html with his excuse being "well all the other political cartoons do it".]
 
 
What makes this worse is, that the more that’s revealed about Anarchist [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-Meet-The-Characters-588862948 (he's actually Libertarian, college educated, lives in San Francisco, is a brony, etc.)] the more I'm convinced he's not only a mouthpiece for the author, but an actual self insert as well. The new character Classic Liberal has this problem as well, with lots of strips about his childhood and being inspired for the future after visiting Disney's Epcot center (BlameThe1st has a well stated love for all things Disney).
 
To his credit, the author at least appears knowledgeable is some of the things he talks about, like his making a list of atrocious [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-018-Government-Waste-527109758 wastes of tax dollars.] Or his having read a lot more literary works than just Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. But then there's instances where he's either ignorant, or twisting facts to better suit his Libertarian ideology. Everyone is likely to have their own different ideas on what the author did and did not get wrong. [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-034-Feudalism-550666042 But an example that stood out to me was when he tried to equate Leftist autocracy with feudalism.] No, that's simply incorrect, since Feudalism is actually about numerous social classes theoretically depending on one another, and there's been several instances of feudalism where the central monarch was a powerless figurehead. Not to mention the fact that even the comicwebcomic admits there would be a term limit so calling it a "dictatorship" would be moot.
 
 
 
== Author Biography ==
 
Indeed most of his Internet career has painted him as a spoiled man child. Earlier on, before starting Statist and Anarchist, he expressed distress over getting burned by libtards and hatetheists, with stamps and rants. He hated people misrepresenting and stereotyping him, and so his idea of a proper response....was to misrepresent and stereotype everyone else. He'll write a comic of almost identical wording to another comic he hates, to try and discredit it and pretend he's better somehow. He's demonstrated child-like insecurity from quickly shouting down every work that spoke ill of him, [http://xde.xanga.com/8f5f63e300633270536750/o215783827.jpg to joining DA just to counter the activity of one individual he didn't like.] BlameThe1st's insufferable arrogance has gained him a reputation for being an exceptionally obtuse debater on DA.
 
 
 
== Conclusion ==
 
I wish I could be fair and say that this comicwebcomic wasn't an entire waste. I wish I could say this comicwebcomic had some kind of comedic potential if he dropped all the copypasta and the god damn stuck -up soap boxingsoapboxing. If he could do more story arcs that weren't titanic sized rants about his old hopes for humanity. If he could do more generalist, not quite so childish humor (i.e. lose the cartoon cameos) like the [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-and-Anarchist-152-Thanksgiving-2016-P2-647747674 Blue and Red Statists suddenly getting along while under the influence of marijuana pie.] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-048-Dark-Magic-Part-2-569449227 Or the outbreak of a zombie swarm,] [http://blamethe1st.deviantart.com/art/Statist-And-Anarchist-072-Stupidity-594567051 or Red Statist trying to make a bathtub into a whirlpool using a blender.]
 
But no, I've already been more generous than anyone else is gonna be with my analysis of this comicwebcomic. BlameThe1st is never going to change this utter heap of excrement dynamically enough to make it readable...except as an example of what not to do if you have any interests in appearing as a kind, mature rational human being. Avoid the political talks on Deviantart as much as you can. Avoid the types like BlameThe1st. Ye be warned.
