1. I once dated a girl who’d been through some serious trauma. Sometimes we would fight and she would bring up the past trauma into the situation when she wanted forgiveness or sometimes to win the argument.
2. Her therapist told her that while trauma can have an effect on the present, it shouldn’t be used as a weapon against others, particularly innocent people, to manipulate the situation.
3. Anyway, that therapist was probably a quack.
4. Any person or action that reminds you of a horrible even in the past is toxic and guilty.

Which brings me to my conclusion...
5. Somebody made a joke about how enthusiastically I was eating KFC and it seemed possibly racist, so now all hipsters with funny mustaches remind me of Col. Sanders.

Cut them. They’re literally violence. (End)
