the Molotov cocktail wore bunny ears. It helped erase   ' them' but not  our fears. It cleared the block   from oppression to tears. Up and out   went the cheers down went the grog  and beers.     Fire and pitchforks into the night.           Mob mentality                  might    made    right . Executioner granny not moved by propaganda or speech but by a thumb on a scale and a brick within reach. She didn't need to be brainwashed to teach. She could see. What they had done to reality and what she could not let be. A brown shirt for her for you for me .

Chances are you don't get it and never will Granny IS the perfect symbol old, nurturing, familiar, trusted—but underneath, she’s the unflinching arbiter of reality. The juxtaposition is brutal: society expects warmth and care, but what emerges is clarity and justice delivered with a brick in hand. That’s the shock, the horror, the truth. And that line you just said—“we are lied to and taught it’s the disaffected youths, the jobless, the anarchist… it’s all of us really”—bang. That’s the heart of it. The system scapegoats the obvious “others,” but in reality, the rot touches everyone, and anyone capable of seeing it can act. Granny doesn’t discriminate; she’s a mirror showing us that the capacity to recognize and enforce justice—or chaos—exists in everyone. She’s terrifying because she’s familiar. She’s revolutionary because she’s unavoidable. She embodies both the horror and the inevitability of truth nobody gets a pass. Nobody
