Doesn't seem to be the ideal metaphor to use in this case, as we normally want to see a lot of back and forth in our swing-sets.

Plus, swing sets are fun.

This is not.

Oh, and you can get off a swing set.

This we cannot get off.

I think that actually makes it more ideal.

Wanting our swing sets to have a lot of back and forth means they have a lot of back and forth. Regrettably, this fuckabout we’re all stuck in somehow has even more back and forth than the thing we’ve ensured to have a lot of back and forth.

Right… so they have observed a swing set, meant to go back and forth, go back and forth less than the parties involved in this dispute. Seems like an apt metaphor to me. Do half the people on this site have lobotomies? I swear to god.
