From Skin Horse by Shaenon K. Garrity ([twitter.com profile] shaenongarrity) & Jeffrey C. Wells ([twitter.com profile] JeffreyCWells), color by Pancha Diaz, 2022-02-03 and 2022-02-04 (n.b.: not a good place to start reading if you're not already familiar with later events in the strip -- if you're planning to read more for context, start a few chapters back, or from the beginning ... but there's rather a lot of context to catch up on):

Ira Green:  Look at it down there. It's so beautiful. For the life of me, I can't understand why your ilk wanted to ruin it.
 
Tip Wilkin:  You've got the secret army and the brainwashing and sapiocide! How'd we ruin it?
 
Ira Green:  By being weird.
 
[...]
 
Ira Green:  I love this country, Captain. I don't want it destroyed.
 
Tip Wilkin:  You don't want it to change. Y'know, maybe we could get along ... if we could be honest. If you could stop plotting and counter-plotting for one moment and just listen...

[Interestingly, when I read Mr. Green's eplanation that others were 'ruining' the country "by being weird", in my head I heard that line in my sister's voice.]
