Brilliant piece of work! Lots of great quotable lines in here, but I loved the whole section about the garlic. “his daughter sketched a self-portrait in which a haughty bulb of garlic wagged its judgmental fingers at a weeping child” - fantastic! Really captures how stupid all this is that on a random Tuesday a new word or phrase is declared verboten. In Rules for Radicals, Alinksy says that people can take being yelled at, but not being laughed at. Look forward to more satirical pieces from you!
