It has come to my attention that the political events unfolding before our very eyes are the work of a counterrevolutionary 3rd force.

The large hadron collider, having been switched on not a month ago, seems to have created a counterrevolution, running counter to our revolution. A collision between our own zunami and this 3rd force has created a blackhole in the fabric of political unity and caused a split in the ANC.

On a more serious note, no-one seems to have noticed that the LHC broke down shortly after being fired up for the first time. So, the giant contraption that cost something like R70 billion to build, breaks down because of shoddy workmanship?

And we are supposed to trust these guys when they say, “Don’t worry. These black holes are nothing to worry about. We’re confident they won’t swallow up all the matter and destroy the world.”

Anyway, it’s broken for now so I guess that means the world won’t end this month.
Unless of course the blackhole that is the split in the ANC swallows up the entire political landscape, destroying democracy and all the cute little idealist fallacies that go along with it.
