It is my considered opinion that these people a) know we think they are cunts, and b) revel in the knowledge that we think they are cunts.
Ads all over the place saying: "Hey, you with your phone blasting out. Everyone thinks you're a cunt. And they're right. You're a cunt."
Gotta do a massssssssive push on phone noise on buses. Has to have big top down element. Expecting individuals to do it alone won’t work

If I were communist dictator of the United States, I would immediately abolish the military, and spend all that money on developing soccer talent instead.
Then, after we win like twelve World Cups in a row, the world will hate us even more than when we were bombing everyone.

There are inherent structural problems with the very nature of our existence that lead us to inevitably despair.
For example, it is a very bad idea to play with swords when you are drunk.
But on the other hand, when you are sober you just don't really want to play with swords, if I'm honest.
