I would honestly kinda like to print out a bunch of these and put them everywhere those knobs have put a flag.

But then it occurred to me that this pretty much how Elon and trump have wound up a bunch of mouth breathing idiots into a racist frenzy that is literally hell bent on destroying the country, and I’d need to write “mad about the racist fuckwits and government complicity”, which would rather dilute the message.

It also leads to uncomfortable questions like ‘hang on, is anger actually transformative or helpful, or does it just lead to more angry people’ and ‘hang on hang on, aren’t Musk and Tommy Ten Names spending an awful lot of money telling people to get mad? Isn’t that the driving force behind the most toxic social media platforms? Isn’t that just what rage bait is?’, and anyway long story short between the time I wrote the first paragraph and now, my view has changed to -

• Antisocial media and pro-nazi agitators want us to get angry (or ‘mad’, in American English) Zen the fuck up to resist. Wield calmness like a weapon. Refuse to emote on command
