This is brilliant and chilling. The last line is poetry for the damned.

I just wrote a reply to another comment about how I’m tactically shifting my approach, with mild-presenting racists, to a less combative stance…but then, I don’t witness BBQ Becky in action. If I did, I suspect I’d resort to my younger, angrier, handsier self.

Because that’s the worst thing you can do to someone like that, so desperate for attention.”
