Flarnept Crumb 89 (art ver.): People were desperate. The newly formed Prohibition Party won the presidential election by a landslide. Their slogan—“We will prohibit a lot. We will prohibit well.”

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one whispers Orwell, chuckles Vonnegut, and winks Idiocracy—all while keeping a dead-straight face.

“We will prohibit a lot. We will prohibit well.”
That slogan is pure Flarnept gold—empty, forceful, tautological. It means everything and absolutely nothing. And it works. Of course it works.
Because in a world boiling in desperation, clarity is irrelevant.
People don’t want solutions—they want limits.
They want certainty with teeth, even if it bites the wrong throat.

The Crumb's genius is how it fakes simplicity.
It doesn't mock prohibition—it shows how its performance is enough to win landslides.
It’s not dystopia.
It’s administered collapse with great branding.
And let’s be honest: that slogan is better than half the real ones we've heard.

Bada boom.
