Here, Kirby employs fascistic imagery, specifically evoking a pogrom in the Justifiers' assault on "undesirables," as well as book burnings. He discusses the psychological nature of bigotry and fascist ideology, and how its adherents become addicted to the rush their seething hatred and violent animus provides them, resulting in a constant escalation that leads inevitably towards genocide.

The idea of the magic card "Swords to plowshares" is essentially that target creature rejects the way of the sword and becomes a farmer instead, hence you lose them as a combatant but gain the health from their farming.
This is really fuckin funny in conjunction with a lot of potential targets for that card. Can you just imagine you're an average farmer in an MTG plane, have a normal-ass day, and all of a sudden you look to the east, and stretching up past the clouds you see Ulamog, the despoiler, one of the infamous eldrazi titans, a creature that corrupts all that is good by its mere presence. And all the enormous bastard is doing is using their massive fuckin tendrils to plow the land and plant potatos, and tend to their flocks of eldrazi spawn, and then it turns its eyeless head thats the size of several cities at you and tips its wide brimmed straw hat at you and continues going about its work.
