Backwards Thinking is the Gateway Drug
to Backwards Actions

Become president of a country
Then maybe figure out how the government works
-
Wipe your ass
Then shit and put on your pants
-
Celebrate 250 years of a country's existence
Whilst you denounce how and who built said country
-
Put your shoes on
Then your socks
-
Be devastated by mass shootings
Then make sure to endorse guns over lives
-
Cook a chicken
Then clean it
-
Force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term
Then strip away the resources needed to care for the child
-
Do your nails
Then wash the dishes with no gloves
-
Make affordable housing a trope in a fantasy novel
Then be left aghast by homelessness
-
Stock a refrigerator with perishable items
Then unplug it
-
Discontinue conservation efforts
And just bring back extinct species
-
Take the clean sheets off your bed
Then lay down and go to sleep
-
Cut down and burn every tree
Then take deep breaths
-
Close your eyes
And look at the sunset
-
Give artificial intelligence the 6 infinity stones
Then wait for the snap
