It creeped out of the shadows, blinked a few times and left it's stain upon the internet. Evil oozed out of it's skin. More terrifying than a plotting muslim terrorist. More darker than a pedofile. More left wing than a communist and more radical than a socialist and a liberal. Progressives they wanna make ya vomit. But...
The unwanted views of the social gadfly were there for all to see.
One would prefer to live in a pretend bubble safely believing truth equates with what you want to believe but for one second before the mind of good gentle polite people, who went about their daily business without complaint, closed it down.
Doubt crept in. Is climate change real and the scientists are right, no dismiss this. Could the removal of unemployment benefits be counter productive, no this is left wing lies. Is the allowing logging, grazing, fracking and other similar activities in national parks actually remove the point of those parks in the first place. No this is greenie propaganda.
Uncomfortable truths are never welcome.
But our kids will know and they won't need a awkward social gadfly to tell them. The truth will be in their faces.
Much sooner than expected.
