”Pick a side! Pick a side!”
The world yells at me.”Choose a team and stick to it!”
It comes again and gets angry:”You’re not playing fair”,
”You’re mangling words”,
It tells me.It doesn’t really listen to me,
just asks who I would root for.No complex arguments allowed.
Just people wanting to hear if I’m for or against them.Their brand: Personal, political, national, musical, you’re free to choose.
It’s a free country. -

”Don’t hate the player, hate the game!”
Analysis: This is actually a #defeatist and #anti #democratic #statement that sets the scheme up for never being able to influence the rules of the game.
It’s anathema to what democracies are supposed to be about: Rewriting the rules of the game so it’s more fair and more just for an increasing amount of people.
And the most succesfull of them turn in a huge profit, because they increase amounts of win-win #games over win-lose & lose-lose.
