Modern conservatives have fully embraced contrarianism. We’ll do things that harm others, and even ourselves (!), to show the libs that we aren’t like them. Pathetic.

There should be two more panels, one showing where the contrarian being swallowed by the ooze and the other with his skeletonized corpse winging that someone should have warned him that this might happen.

When I was a kid, I remember cartoons like Captain Planet having pollution caused by supervillains who sat around thinking about new ways that they could make more pollution because they hated clean water and clean air.
And here we are now with people who have actually made being pro-pollution a political stance.
Yeah, that’s almost a literal representation of present-day Retrumplitarian “thinking:” “I’m a totally free thinker, ‘cuz I don’t give a crap about all those things ordinary sheeple care about like basic rights and justice for everyone. BOOOORRRIIIING!”
And also: “We’re such a horribly persecuted minority, just ‘cuz all those wussy sheeple can’t handle The Truth about how superior we are and how we gotta have our LIBBIDY to stomp all over everyone else!”
And also: “Huh huh huh you sheeple are all just scared ‘cuz we’re a growing trendy movement of people following our freethinking doctrine in lockstep!”
There should be two more panels, one showing where the contrarian being swallowed by the ooze and the other with his skeletonized corpse winging that someone should have warned him that this might happen.
And then a third panel showing an identical guy talking about how the first guy brought it on himself because he didn’t buy his special anti-ooze insurance, on sale now for just $19.95 per month.

I thought this was a little exaggerated until I remembered all those pictures of dudebros with guns pointed at their own testicles and all the stories about the completely unforeseeable consequences.

…and you’re evidently proud to have remained dogmatic and authoritarian.
