Wave…

***

The switch in narratives… Has been fascinating to behold… For the control grid… It was a return to the tried and trusted… The waving of a national flag was acceptable… Not our national flag… Obviously… Not Chinada’s national flag… Also obviously… All national flags are for waving… Some national flags are more waveable than others… But the waving of this particular, very waveable, national flag… Was openly encouraged… And celebrated… Very soon though… It became… Well, almost compulsory, actually… Along with the question… Sometimes shouted… Why are you not waving ze waveable flag?

Sigh… You get the picture?… The search for a scapegoat… Was also, finally over… Briefly, at least… Before the tried and trusted experts… Which this time just couldn’t be ignored… Quietly pointed out… That the preferred scapegoat… Had at the very least been manipulated… Into an untenable position… Some would say… Goaded… And as everyone knows… A goaded scapegoat… Is really no scapegoat at all… On it went… All the old tropes… Endlessly recycled… By the jolly jingoists… That pass for pundits on all our legacy outlets… When we were growing up… Nuclear conflict, anywhere, was a bad idea.

We don’t want this… We never did… But fewer… And fewer people… Care anymore… If this is the end to project man… Then, so be it… Modern Man has revealed himself to be… A jumped up infantile… Incapable of anything more… Than satisfying his base desires… Despite all the grandiose claims… To the contrary… Over the years… Most animals have far more nobility… And are far less dangerous… Civilisation?… What a joke!… Modern Man does not yet know the meaning of the word and perhaps Never will… Goodbye, sweet ladies… After the rain… Let us hope the earth sphere still remains intact.
