I can't get a scene from the Avengers out of my mind (yes, I'm a Marvel fan!).
Anyway, when Loki (a bad guy intent on taking over the world) attacks,
Nick Fury says, 'We have no quarrel with your people.'
Loki responds, 'An ant has no quarrel with a boot.'
And, I can't help but see trump and musk and their crony oligarchs.
They see us as inconsequential ants and themselves as the boot!
They see us as inconsequential ants and themselves as the boot!
Anyway, Fury captures Loki in a glass cell
suspended 30,000 feet in the air.
It has a trapdoor on the floor.
Fury tells Loki that if he tries to escape,
he will push the button opening the trap door.
Fury points to button, smiles and says, 'Boot'.
Fury points to button, smiles and says, 'Boot'.
Then, I see myself as an ant looking up at the
gigantic oligarch boot threatening to crush
the life from my body as it steals my food.
And I laugh.
Because, you see, I am a red ant!
And, I stand on an ant hill that
is home to millions of red ants!
And, I stand on an ant hill that
is home to millions of red ants!
And, we all know what red ants do
when someone steps on their ant hill!
when someone steps on their ant hill!
