Hail Mortals

hail, mortals.

hmm. I would argue that blame culture makes total sense, Lenville q. Like Jack says, it’s a question of scapegoating an individual/organisation and pillorying them relentlessly rather than examining the full story of what went dahhhhn. i.e… pressuring a particular minister to resign over a single issue: totally pointless unless the sprawling historical network of evil conspiracies and unscrupulous civil servants called humphrey that might lie behind his or her particular fuck-up is also addressed. or… blaming truancy on single mothers, or teachers, or demon possession, or poppers, because it’s easier than judging each case separately.

basically it allows thems in charge to get away with even yet still more gibbering outrages against our freedom and safety. the big shits.

oh and keynotes is what you get in perfume. like ‘a strident vanilla keynote slyly underwhelmed by seductive ginger tones.’ maybe.
