The implication of society (or social network) as garden, is that the moment the gardeners cease their work nature returns with a vengeance. As our dancing, singing, drama nerd commissar has noted, maintaining their garden requires a constant investment in time and energy. How long can they keep that up? Maybe quite a while. But nature's patience is infinite.

I fear that Jankowicz and her JV NKVD are really going to try to weed the garden. She will lose in the end, but many Trumpian weeds will be targeted for extirpation, possibly literally.

Since we're on nature metaphors, these leftists keep pushing people to the point where some may decide that the Tree of Liberty might need a good watering.

That tree has built up a powerful thirst from the looks of things.

Yes, a huge lesson to be had there and we are just massively resistant to it, even as it just literally mows US down, time and time again. I do wonder why working with the flow (rather than desperately seeking to stifle it) is seemingly so terrifying to humans?

That really all depends on whether a chemical wash and a rock garden can be rationalized by these people as a glowing achievement. Spoiler alert - of course it can.

True. But we, the current bed of unruly wild blossoms, remain for only a brief time before our season is over. Do we allow ourselves to be turned over and tossed out by the current crop of maniacal gardeners? Or do we push back? (A well-timed bolt of lightening, maybe.)

Perhaps we should model ourselves less on delicate flowers and more on rhizomes, invasive species, and fungal networks.

Yes, rhizomes, an underground network of stems. That’s us.

Very poetic and apt. I always say the market wins in the end, but this is so perfect in the context, I just had to comment to say how much I appreciate it. Life... ah... finds a way.

Thanks! It's a bummer, but it's what's really happening.

They have completely cut themselves off from and seem to think that they are more than adequate to replace divine source. I think it may be a story as old as time, but with high tech toys now.

“Being the good citizen that I am, I reported the unsightly weeds to the county.”

Please, shouldn’t we start calling her “the quintessential Mrs. Kravitz”. Older people will get it.

Ahh... the theater kids. Annoying human beings and hall monitors who would "spontaneously" break out in a song that no one liked, or asked for. My only viable theory for people like this, past home schooling, is that this person was breast fed till 15.

The problem, as I see it, is that Nina doesn’t just think Trump is evil (and by extension his followers) she KNOWS Trump is evil and she believes at this historic moment in history, that it has fallen to her to cure mankind of this blight upon the garden…this is her calling…greatness awaits and she will rise to the occasion, singing and dancing her way into the hearts of future generations as she relentlessly plays Whack-a-mole with any weed who dares to poke it’s ugly head into HER garden! God save us from such fools as she!

Hey Nina, let's play the word association game! C'mon, I'll start:

"grassroots"

Nina's first stab at a response is "brownshirts."

And her second answer is PUTIN

It's funny because I just came in from pulling some weeds. Even though many people praise dandelions for various reasons, I do not like them. But I only pull weeds on my own property, I would not think to tell my neighbors what to do. Unfortunately, a government entity like a Disinformation Governance Board is not limited, like a simple gardener as me.

"endemic distrust of spontaneity and its longing for a better, and necessarily artificial, order"

Where spontaneity represents individuality and order represents the collective...

Sigmund Freud died too soon. We've got a dream we need you to interpret. That is quite the story to tell on oneself. She probably doesn't believe in the ancient garden culture; that women are like a garden where men plant their seed. Nope. Nor Christ's analogy, the cares of this world are the weeds that choke out the good seed. Nope. Donald Trump is an evil weed from a vile root. Holocaust is needed to make the garden aesthetic. Dig it out and burn it up.
