The Trolls' Tolls & The Complicit Costs Of Participation


Big eared troll

The unceasing comparing, contrasting, contorting, and harassment regarding differences in every walk of life and culture; as well as the nuances that define individuality and distinguishes them as one of a kind, becoming all too familiar as part and parcel in participating in an economy of abuse. The barrage of unending futile rhetoric never to acknowledge variety as a positive when existent, but rather incessantly poke and prod as to 'why him but not me—why a blue sky and not red'? Or 'why a rain forest and not a desert'? The strawman-like battering and badgering becoming increasingly petty as another toad in the road barters your time away into oblivion, all while society deems it as the cost of doing business.


Tireless abuse of humans and their interactions: another normalized social expectation and anticipated overhead. Just as well another downtrodden patron found on the underside of abusive behavior looking to fall in line and keep the nagging rhetorical reticle of society off their back and the swinging sickle of overcompensated sensitivity training off their heels. Another head down and docile patron complicit in a laxed participation of looking the other way; as any form of preference, taste, distinction, option, and ultimately choice, are thrown out the window just to keep the proverbial monkey off their back.


The bull whip effect of comparing, contrasting, contorting, and harassing, having everyone tastelessly committing and falling in line at the same time, all to gradually entangle everyone and have them also eventually repeatedly flip and flop. Any dissenters found outside the confines of control will find their back against the wall attempting to detangle and defend themselves as society ostracizes opinionated dissenters, while perpetually propping up the performative outbursts of the most compliant. Also, collectively only promoting inclusion and celebrating variety when it comes to varying degrees of hedonism, perversion, and filth.


A pervasive pendulum of abuse convoluting morality, while also corralling the prodded and tired into too many shades of gray, becoming lost in the sauce and thrown out just as the baby in the bath water. A binary system of infinite abuse and trolling that strips humans of humanity, and sterilizes the colors of life into a bland expressionless pseudo utopia or becomes beat back into a muddied up disgusting corner of dystopia; in which where any form of culture, meaning, variety, and fulfillment all may have well not existed.


James 3:13-16 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.


Ephesians 5:6-7 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
