3. speaking as a "w",

i rather doubt the friend has "no clue" and "does not care".

ok, maybe it's barely possible, but these people who always seem to be spoiling for a confrontation serve as enforcers of a particular social hierarchy, with "w" of course at the top.

they see people getting out of line and a sense of duty stirs within them to enforce their preferred social order.


they very likely know damn well they're offending you (and others) but see it as their duty to do so. hell, they may even think they're doing you a favor, after all, other enforcers might do even worse than crack an offensive "joke".


but yeah, it's everywhere, all the time. a "w" turns america into a russian puppet state, committing a ton of crimes in the process, he's practically untouchable in the highest office. someone else takes a knee and his career is over.

this is the real battle. people obsess over removing donnie, as if a slightly premature termination from one man's temp job is really going to change much. the war they are fighting is for the twisted social order which america has tried for ages to leave in its ugly past. it's being fought on many fronts, and we have to fight on all of them.
