Person a walks up to person b. B: "Let's lock our doors! Take down the surveillance state!" A: [looks around furtively] "Omigod!" B: "What are you, some kind of narc? Come on, everyone is locking their doors!" A: "Are you a plant? Am I in danger? I don't want to get hurt. Is it safer to break the law or obey it here?" B: "Laws telling you not to lock your doors are the man breathing down your ass. Get up and stop milking your own sorry death!" A: "Omigod! Are there such laws as that? I never thought about whether I might get imprisoned for locking my door!" B: "Totally. There's worse stuff than that, too. Why, the national spy agencies are taking 80%[number made up for impact] of your taxes and mostly spend their time actively trying to make people helpless." A: "Omigod! I don't want to be made helpless fighting these people!" B: "The only solution is rip your chains off, throw it down, and fight!" A: "Are you going to hurt me? What I do to fight? Can you rescue me if I'm in trouble with these people? Can they rescue me if I'm in trouble with you?" B: "I've already told you how to be rescued. Stop being a sheep and bite the forces of oppression." A: "I'm ready! I'm scared! I'm bite the forces of oppression until you go away!" B: "Good." B: "Me and A are going to bite the forces of oppression. Who's with us?" C: "A is my friend, and I oppose the government, but not violently, because I have a federal agent friend who follows me everywhere ever since I attended a rally. What do you have to say to my federal agent friend?" B: "Your jerk friend better quit their job and take down the state! You're an agent yourself, I bet!" C: "A is my friend. Are they okay?" B: "I won't fall for your state-sponsored deception!" D: "So, how are things going? And what's your name?" C: "D is a friend who follows me everywhere." A: "Creepy! Do they ever hurt you?" B: "I don't need to give idiots like you my name. Did you know that state-sponsored spy agencies take 80% [number fabricated for impact] of your taxes?" C: "Well, no not directly and physically, but I've been pretty stressed out being followed everywhere." D: [turns to A] "And you? What's your name?" A: "My name is A and B is asking me to fight the state and I just don't want to get hurt!" C: "I mean honestly the state is not always that amazing. Many see voting as fighting the state." B: "Voting is a trick designed to keep you from ever accomplishing anything! Burn down the voting booths!" D: "And your name is B, is it?" B: "My name is C. That's B." [points to C] C: "He knows I'm C, he follows me everywhere D: "Oh, B and I are good friends, I was just putting on a show for you all." A: "Where is normality? Where is normality?"
