It's the way that Muir gets self-righteous about his own moral bankruptcy that gets you. This is a pathetic, evil whiny manbaby who thinks he's demonstrating what a tough manly man he is.

Yep, and part of how he gets to feel self-righteous is by going back to the old fascist playbook of "they gave us no choice!" After all, these evil leftists were about to kill and destroy us, right? (Please disregard that there is no evidence or indication of this, anywhere...) I guess this is how Muir's characters make themselves feel better about the terrible choices they make....
ReplyDeleteThe matter-of-fact certainty among Muir and his readers that we are out to destroy them is dizzying.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it boils down to imagining a guy inexplicably becoming fixated on a coworker, getting super paranoid ideas in his head about how the coworker is out to get him, to sabotage him, to ruin his career, maybe even to murder him. And the guy works himself up into an increasingly hysterical frenzy over this wicked scheme he's constructed entirely in his head, and ends up attacking the coworker out of "self-defense".
That's pretty much what this is.
It WOULD be darkly funny if the consequences weren't so dangerous and catastrophic.
Yep. Perfect summary of what that looks like.
DeleteMore than that--simple disagreement is a vicious threat against them.
ReplyDeleteFor some mysterious reason.
I wish I could understand that mystery. Are these just levels of insecurity beyond my comprehension?
