(Pixi is heading out to one of her many classes. She exits her apartment block and stops at a notification from her phone. She pauses and absorbs the latest ’genius’ from David Berg.)
Pixi: Oh my. Such insight, such unparalleled logic, such a vindication of his stance – such BULLSHIT. Honestly, I think that there are politicians out there that would pay serious money for that capacity to spin THAT well.
I CORRECTLY pointed out that after your ‘epic’ and ‘awe-inspiring’ win you get NOT a title defence, but a Non-Title match. You, yourself admit it’s in a milieu in which you have no great experience. So what does THAT tell you? That David Berg is somehow a legendary champion destined to elevate the belt beyond what I did? Or perhaps that he’s going to drift and rely on SPINNING the truth to his own advantage? If the latter is the case, he’s truly destined for greatness, because seriously David – damn, you can warp the truth to fit your prejudice as brilliantly as the best of them
Prejudice.
There’s a word.
See, what happens when you confront a prejudiced person with truths that don’t fit they pre-conceived convictions? They warp them. They distort them. They deny them. Their prejudice will tolerate NOTHING but absolute adherence to their beliefs.
So, David has to sling the dirt. He has to TRY to make me look like the ‘inadequate ‘ one, but it’s clear that it HE who is weak. It is HE who is fearful. I’ve nothing to fear. I am strong: strong enough to eschew a gun. Strong enough to pick myself up after a loss. Strong enough to stand on my own two feet without the backing of a nation, a faith, a tribe and everything else that David needs. And more than anything, he desperately needs his prejudice to be reinforced.
I said I recognised Palestine and Israel equally. That’s clearly not acceptable to David. There IS for him ONLY Israel and everything else is wrong, weak or evil. That is NEVER the case for ANY nation and Israel is no different. But poor David can NEVER admit that. That would WEAKEN his already vulnerable position: a position only made tenable through strict adherence to rigid doctrine.
THAT’S weak.
He’s WEAK.
He cannot stand on his own without that reliance. He needs it. It defines who he is and without it he’s nothing. Which, not coincidentally brings us back to the matter of wrestling: Mr “Nothing” Berg is fighting in a nothing match. BUT, I’m sure that he’ll SPIN it again so that the fault is everyone else’s.
Oh, and friends. Get this! I have friends! Larry is a friend. Uncle Jack is a friend and so are Maddox and Candy. I’m here when they need me and they are there for me. All you have David, is weakness and fear. Have fun training. You’re good at that. Nothing to be afraid of and no weakness on display. That all changes though when you climb into the ring.
(Pixi shuts the phone down and trots out to her little moped, but stops before donning the helmet.)
Guns. Yeah, like I said; there’s no need for them. But, “Yikes! The bad guys still have them! What can we do?” Such a difficult question. Hm. Well, according to David’s logic in a country where ONLY the bad guys have guns, you cannot adequately defend yourself, so you get shot. Right?
Strange then, that in the UK, where no one carries guns unless mandated to do so, far, far, FAR fewer people get shot than in America where every right-minded, sensible citizen carries one. Even when you magnify the numbers to conform per capita, the difference is not merely significant, but IMMENSE. The fact IS – the UK is FAR safer country because guns do NOT proliferate. You see David, that’s just your prejudice manifesting again – fuelled by your fear. “I’ve always had a gun. I NEED a gun. It’s my RIGHT!”
Of course, not a grain of this will seep through that granite barrier of obstinate, dogmatic prejudice. No surprise there – every weak person needs their crutch. David’s crutches are plain to see.
Hasta pronto.
