Contents
- Author's note
- Part one: Hell. The crowd loves density ; Are you a good person? ; You must love Jesus more than your own life ; He's heaven-sent ; Dream on ; The people and the anti-people ; They even downsized Walmart ; It's all psyops ; Ordinary people ; She'd kill to win ; The leader wants to survive
- Part two: Purgatory. Her penis is swinging ; I'd pick up his poop ; I would fight you for him ; That black woman was not here ; We are kicking their ass ; Thousands cried out--some fainted ; A self-induced imaginary frenzy ; They got full of ideas ; We have a solution ; Coercion. Domination. Control.
- Part three: Paradise. I won't bend over and lick their ass ; The Q clock will blow your mind ; Someday we'll go for a horseback ride.
