We usually keep the PDA below syrupy levels, but we’re allowed to schmoop it up on our anniversaries.

Oh, I’m so glad you commented. This is the fun part!

I agree with everything you said, but I still assert that the story has whimsy. But, yes, it’s like the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine (CynicismRx) go down rather than genuine lightheartedness.

No doubt the main character is a hideous opportunist, and in that way an exemplar of the kind of help rebels can expect from someone from within the dominant social order. Then again, they used her, and she had no obligation to be used on their terms. The people we give power don’t always stay under our control. Like in democracy, the people often get more than they ask for, especially from charismatic individuals.

Consider it a warning for rebels to always be smarter than their foes and their ‘tools.’

Funny – I don’t think of Jean’s piece as whimsical at all. Cynical, deeply cynical (and fabulously written). When we let PR people control the revolutions we’ve lost any revolution and all revolutions — no matter how just the cause.

I am a vicious monster. In fiction, anyway.
