Ah hello resident deus ex machina.....I mean Spookybot.
rretter:
The accent struck me as very exaggerated. Not in itself, but because there's been no previous accent in any of Roko's speech, anywhere. In fact, she declares "fuck this" just the other day but "fahk off" here.
This out-of-nowhere continuity-breaking "joke", a one-time(?) poke at Boston accents... just jarring. Not funny.

I agree, but on the other hand, it thoroughly derailed my ability to propose effective non-hierarchal policing structures, which I think is of great relief to many here.
On that note, to those who were disappointed about being derailed before I could start quoting chapter and verse from the Bread Book, highly recommended reading is David Friedman's semi-published Legal Systems Very Different From Ours. I also need to get around to finishing James C Scott's Seeing Like a State... fahk me my reading list grows faster than my ability to read it.

I'm not where I can find the original strip, but Roko, while 'drinking' with O'Malley, descends into a Bostonian accent when angry.

Counterpoint:
"Let go of my hands! Stop! Stop hitting me!"
"Bullshit! You want anarchy? This is anarchy! Where the stronger rule the weak, and guess where your place is, Pugsly? Anarchy is your sixth grade gym class for all eternity!"
