Dehumanizing at 100mph

At first it’s one thing. Then it’s the other thing. Then it’s the other other thing, but not the first, which isn’t to say that it can’t be this third thing. And what’s useful? Is this useful? If this isn’t useful, will you let something else be useful? Useful for me, I mean, this fictionally imagined character I am invoking who is trying to find the path of least resistance to getting you to hate someone else, because don’t they just deserve it?

And who do I mean by ‘they?’ Well — what would you like? What works for you and your schedule? Because this video game of judgment isn’t going to write itself. We need to condemn, and at great speed, because who knows what will happen before the next thing happens? (It’s already happening.)
