âObject lesson,â what a perfect tag.
âHave you got something to hide?â
Fuck, yeah! I close the door when I use the bathroom, I draw the curtains before I undress for bed, I write appallingly bad poetry â Iâve got lots to hide.
âHi, Iâm a snooper. Iâm not actually with the government, but if I were Iâd be reading all the data on your phone right now without your consent, in the name of âpreventing terrorism.â How would that make you feel? Is there anything on your phone you wouldnât feel comfortable having me, a stranger, see?â
Tbh I think there should be terror and panic amongst the general UK populace, about a lot of things their govât is doing/has done.
Shitâs getting bad over there, I hear. And yetâŚpeople just go on with their lives as if the ground isnât vanishing beneath their feet.
Probably because the ground isnât vanishing, but something else that requires a better metaphor.
HmmâŚhow about âWinter is coming for the hive, and soon many worker bees will be shedâ?
Thatâs more of a simile, though.
OrâŚâCheap management bought cheap parts and cheap labor, making the theme park increasingly dangerousâ?
I totally understand the valid political point here, and I agree with it in every way. And yet I canât imagine that between the stranger and me, I would be the one less comfortable with them viewing my browsing history.
âAh ha! You see, here are some rather ânaughtyâ sites youâve visited! And I see youâre a fan of, shall we say, boudoir accessories! Now how would you feel about just any government bureaucrat being able to⌠um⌠okay, letâs just close THAT tab⌠just any bureaucrat who could⌠wait, Smurf / Star Trek slashfic? Thatâs just⌠look, my point is that there have to be limits on what the police can⌠urp⌠oh, there is NO WAY heâd say that to a nun!â
Damn close to a haiku, though! Workshop it!
Now if only we could just scale this upâŚ
Didnât they just admit about a week ago what everyone who doesnât have their head all the way up their ass already knew, which is that theyâve already been doing exactly this for decades?
People always complain about their government, because thereâs always someone in government trying to do something crazy. Sometimes itâs low-level stuff, and hardly effects anybody; sometimes itâs high level, and enough people are affected who are close enough to power to do something about it. Most people, everywhere, just hunker down and wait for the storm to pass, or for it to blow away in some other direction.
Thereâs some crazy shit going down in your country, and a lot of people who donât seem to be doing anything about it, I guarantee it, wherever you hail from.
