Will to survive
Quibble believes it is best to remain anonymous. He has seen the masses withdraw from rationality before. It is not the aggrandized populist political policies, nor claims of wounded morality. It is the meanness and cruelty that is their true goal, untethered to the unfelt principles polished to justify it. Unease with shifting sensibilities creates grievances that can be assuaged only through anger and dominance. Quibble looks for signs as to the flag he must fly to squat on the mob’s good side. He has no opinions, only strategies. He has no desires, only cautions. Be simple. Be still. Hush.
