Incitement
This post was scheduled to appear here a few days ago, but fortunately for all of us I realized what a scattered mess it was and pulled it back for more thought.
I think I’ve finally gotten around to understanding that I was trying to make too many points fit into a cohesive narrative, and instead what I ended up with was a circular and jumbled bit of incomprehensible ideas, barely held together by a few words like “incendiary” and “unhinged” and “inflammatory” and “batshit insane.”
Those words are likely to resurface in this revamped post, but they’ll likely make more sense, or at least be in better context.
Except, of course, to those whose thought processes never deviate from the straight and narrow. Seriously, these folks exist. I’ve known horses wearing blinders that saw more.
