So that’s the leverage of the cornered addict then, to grab at straws – pun intended –

I’ll allow it

in a desperate attempt to hide vice behind hypocrisy.

Details are conflated in strawman-

objection, recycled material

arguments used to discuss anything other than

consequences of specific behavior

don’t act like you care about my behavior, you wrote two thousand words without me just fine

my existence is merely a crutch for bad writing

you’re not actually trying to flesh out a partner in a discussion. you gave me this habit to amuse yourself like you’ve been amused by all the junkies in your life, mining their real suffering for your shitty little projects

With the advent of cinema and then television

reconstructing reality

has become elevated to an art form.
