Right?

Let's fight the environmentalists.

Who do they think they are?

Don't preserve nature;

Don't protect wildlife.

There's no need to save the planet.

We have another one - right?

 

Resist the movement for equality.

If everyone is different,

We ought to treat them as such.

Other genders and races,

Sexualities and appearances:

We can't all be living, feeling people - right?

 

Do nothing to help the less fortunate.

There are poor folks, and hungry folks,

And disabled people too.

But of course it's their fault

For missing opportunities which were fleeting or not there.

We should leave the needy to help each other - right?

 

Let the government take away your freedoms.

Feel exactly what you're expected to.

Let social media teach our daughters to starve themselves,

And let video games encourage our sons to fight.

This is precisely the society we want.

 

Right?
