@Fiesty Good observation and I love the list, I'm saving it. Being funny unintentionally doesn't count 🤪

"I know you are, but what am I?" "Racist. Apologist."

Rule #1 points an accusing finger directly at our infotainment media that cares only for dollars. They are for sale, so they are purchased. And thus sow their own demise. I find that ironic and amusing, but I've been to therapy 😜

These people LOVE rules, and will set themselves up as enforcers if allowed. I watched it when I worked for the country on a team project where nobody knew anyone. When the bosses are away, they try to optimize the subgroup by calling out rule violations, with an implied appeal to authority.

The next step with these folks is specialization. "Jane is the one who does that." It's a natural phenomenon but that doesn't mean we have to be a collaborator with these natural "socialists." They just want to be in charge.

Since these folks have no actual authority, I afford them none when I disagree. It often surprised them, because it's only if I disagree. Very funny. One lady tried to scold me for leaving a (sealed) beverage on the table. She received a personal slash attack that included the phrases "self-appointed" and "who are you?"

Hey, I didn't want to do it but don't be doing that shit. Nobody has anything on you, but that won't stop em from trying. Thanks to @Fiesty for the list.
