Against The Machine

As a man of peace, I tell you what, I'm angry.

Seems like the thing to be these days.

Pissed.

Is that right?

You know what I love?

When some public official is behind a podium yelling at us.

Admonishing us.

The general public.

Why?

Because they are blaming us for the actions of some fool.

We gotta keep our kids safe!

We must end senseless violence!

Meanwhile, I'm here drinking a nice beverage wondering why some idiot is yelling at me (it happens, but not for long).

I understand why it happens. I just don't get why it works.

Or rather, why people accept it.

Shouldn't it be the other way?

Shouldn't it be us yelling at them?

Oh wait, they're using my technique.

Be more outraged than the outraged.

Proactively outraged.

Cobra Kai sheet.

Strike first. Strike hard!

No.

Mercy.

It's clever.

Seems to work.

Has for me.

Ah well.

Back to my beverage.

Oh boy, "rage" is in beverage.

Where's that podium...it's around here somewhere.
