They mask us so they can do terrible things to us. They mask our humanity in slurs and they mask their actions in euphemisms. They pull us as far from the familiar as they can. But we know who we are, and what they are, and we know that the differences can only be held in abstract suspension for so long. We are a hair’s breadth apart, and they will make you see the chasm of their own making. Don’t do this. Don’t believe them.
