Positive behaviour change: that’s what they’re after. They want to work on us psychologically.
Right now, we’re enemies of progress. We’re not part of the new consensus. We haven’t accepted the new normal.
We’re internal enemies. The wrong kind of diverse. We’re obstacles to progress! Impediments! We’re in the way!
They want to be kind, God help them. But they cannot be kind to us. And they’d like to be! Of course they’d like to be! They’d like to be kind to everyone! We all deserve kindness. Except us. Except we wrong-thinkers. We holders-back-of-the world.
We won’t let them pass off the new normal as the new normal, that’s the thing. We won’t let the transition appear seamless. We’re stuck. Stupid. Focused on all things. We actually have memories.
We object, in some fundamental way, to their enlightened managerialism. And how could we? Why do we have to be in the way? Haven’t they tried to re-educate us, not once but a thousand times? Haven’t they tried to show us how it’s done? What not to object to?
They’ve made the new world for us. For our benefit. It’s an act of kindness for us. And how do we repay their kindness? With the opposite of kindness.
We’re domestic terrorists, spiritually. We need to be debanked. Cancelled. For our own good! Sent into the naughty corner to ponder what we’ve done.
