Me and Them

Last week I absolutely destroyed them on social media. Eviscerated is the word, I think. Let's put it this way: It wasn't pretty. I reduced them to ashes with scattered shards of their rotten ideology strewn about like so many disembodied limbs. But I don't have to tell you that they deserved it. That's beyond self-evident. My next step is to demand unconditional surrender. I have suggested a deadline. I mean, I'm not a monster. They will need a little time to get their shit together and prepare for their exile. You're welcome.

They still want me to see it their way. Like that's going to happen. Me, I'm different. I don't just want; I expect they will see it mine. Expect as in inevitably, since I am on the side of the inevitable. It had something to do with privilege and/or Original Sin. I can't remember what. Something is submerged and pushing. Just breathe. There is something there. Just breathe. There.

Look, if they would only do X, then Y would clearly result, meaning everything would resolve cleanly, happily into Z. But, no. They did A, which was quickly followed by B, which launched us directly into the shitstorm we find ourselves in now. 

*

They're still not doing what I want them to do. I even tried pinpointing for them the exact spot where their thinking went wrong. Nothing. 

*

Just another day of them not doing what I wanted them to do. Maybe they didn't hear me correctly. Or maybe they did and they're just being difficult. I guess I'll just keep reading the news looking and hoping really hard for signs that they finally came to their senses.

The thing I don’t understand about them is why they act against their own best interests. It’s perfectly obvious to me anyway what those interests are, so they must really be stupid if they can’t even see what I can see. Hey, guys, I’m right here if you want to talk.
