Alphabetica: A Satire On Majoritarianism

by Roy Phoenix

The sweet-natured Omega hesitated a bit, but then she spoke about her concern. “I feel we mustn’t make it look like we are more important with all our word share and humour.” “ ‘Humility comes before honour. Hubris is the death of humanity!’” quoted Iota. “Okay, got it. This is all about me. My word share, about which I have no control. My poor jokes, but it’s okay when I’m called an exasperatingly erratic eel and a vermin. Right?” said Epsi, sounding upset. “And what about the memo outside the Sans Serif? ‘Vowels and flies not allowed’. Please explain to me which part of it was Q’s humour, or was it only hubris?” “Come on, E!” said Iota. “It was their private party.” “It’s Q’s poor sense of humour. Immature!” added Omega. Epsi responded firmly. “I know a thing or two about humour. Whether it’s at the workplace or the piano bar, we can’t be treated like flies. Period! Guys, ‘Segregation is discrimination’. Stop ignoring the signs!”

Typical Liberal talk
