[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't move, be nice, don't say anything bad to the driver of the people murder crusher about to drive onto us
Otherwise, he might start doing dangerous things such as driving his people murder crusher vehicle into a group of people

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're always exaggerating
People murder crushers don't exist
And if they did, they wouldn't be used on our own citizens

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't fight back
It might escalate the situation

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
There are systems in place to prevent people from getting crushed by the people murder crusher
Trust, nothing bad can happen to us

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
It's just a vehicle
Why are you acting like it's specifically designed to crush and murder people?

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
I refuse to respond to this people murder crusher with fear or defiance
We should greet it with kindness

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Technically, this people murder crusher has not crushed or murdered anyone yet
Let us not assume intent

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Honestly, the real violence here is the one you're directing at the driver of the people murder crusher
You are not a good person

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're focusing too much on the people murder crusher driving at us right now
It prevents you from seeing the bigger picture

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
The people murder crusher currently driving towards us is a distraction from our ideological battle, stop talking so much about it
There is no war but class war

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Has anyone considered how stressful it must be to have to drive a people murder crusher and then have people judging you for it?
We will probably suffer horribly and die, but I feel worse for them right now, poor thing

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
The people murder crusher can only run us over if we create the conditions for it
So just don't create the conditions

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're stuck at the level of use-value (your continued uncrushed existence)
The situation is clearly unfolding at the level of exchange
Read theory you idiots, open a book once in your life

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't you all see this is a metaphor?
It's not a driver, it's capital in motion
You're misrecognizing a social relation as a guy behind a wheel

Is there some orange dude in the UK threatening to crush people? Or is this scene supposed to be set in Australia? (or any other place where they drive on the left, unlike the United States).

Now it's just Daniel the Human Crusher, off work and hanging with people who both know that he's a Human Crusher, and are 100% fine with that.

In my neck of the woods "thank god for this people crusher, I love it when my government crushes people and I will continue to vote for whichever candidate promises to crush the most people" is a depressingly common sentiment 😞
