Friendship groups are in constant threat of destruction by utterly terrible motherfuckers. These specimens are invariably interesting and complicated people. They may be charismatic; they may be handsome; they may just be doggedly determined. A horrid person can't be defined in generic terms. Everyone – evil, fucked-up bitches included – has their own eccentricities. But bilious, walking-mind-fucks conform to a general pattern when invading the company of others, and there are some specific strategies that friends use to remove their poisonous, faecal presence.
The horrible person
will mould the social structure of your group to better achieve their
aims. A core aim of a bastard
is to cement their place within the group. The fucker needs to
create dependence amongst the group members on their own continued
membership of the group. With drugs, this is achieved through their
connections to the underworld. The friends need them – and will be
very obliging to see that they remain a part of the collective, in
spite of their assholery. There are other ways of achieving this
power: sex is a classic; money is another; someone influential in the
local art scene is in a niche position, but it can suffice for being
a complete asshat.
Smaller groups are
easier to manipulate (we're dealing with local shit-heads, not Rupert
Murdoch). People might realise that their new pal is a total douchebag. Evil misanthropes will address this problem by sewing
discord. A common misconception is that discord will blind the
victims to the evils of the perpetrator. Not so: being a known
arsehole spreads more discord than being an unknown arsehole. No-one
will be able to prevent the cunt from being a chronic shite-lord,
because they have no choice but to react to the awful milieu.
Discord is created by bruising and breaking existing ties of affection. The smeg-bearer
need not invoke a clandestine strategy. A common approach is that
the parasite will refuse to socialise with one particular individual.
Such an action causes an immediate schism. People will be forced to
evaluate their loyalties. The arse will prefer to test close bonds:
siblings and lovers are favourites. Wrecking close relationships
affects an amplification of tension within the group: other people
are upset to witness good relationships turn to shit.
These rackets mirror
human interactions conducted in good faith: we all have small groups
of friends, and we do prefer the company of some people to others.
The important difference is that the black-hole-of-a-person we are
dealing with has no concern for genuine participation: ideally, they
want only to achieve their narrow goals.
Horrible people always
inhabit a web of co-manipulation. They will introduce you to others.
It is difficult to know your position within this scheme. The
highly intelligent wanker is dangerous in this respect, for they will
place their sluggish brethren tactically. This is the general method
by which one becomes acquainted with people who are both dim and
awful, for they otherwise won't find you. Horrid people who are slow
on the uptake can ruin otherwise good company, merely by the
unpleasant state of themselves. These people are exemplified by
diazepam addicts who slur and cannot think.
Nasty personages can be
identified by conversing with those whom you still trust.
Manipulative cocks will be discovered in this manner, because they
will impart different untruths to different people. But even a
blatant pile-of-discharge must be identified in this socially
forensic manner, because your friends may not be as brave (or sober)
as you are.
Once a complete cunt has been identified, an intervention will inevitably occur. The friends may present a combined front to the offending gobshite. Formally announcing this new-found solidarity to the fucker can be an effective tactic: they will realise the game is up. Crucially, there will be a rule that no-one may speak to the turd. This is more difficult for drug-users, for everyone will most likely attend the same dealer's flat.
The strategy of
rejection is not effective when facing an evil, psychopathic, bitch.
The peril is that he will not be driven off, and will instead turn up
at your place of work and cause a scene. A friendship group can
deal with such demented freaks by denying them information. The
unbalanced abuser will be unable to show up at your child's nursery,
because they do not know where it is. This is difficult to
implement, because of others known to both the friendship group and
to the awful banshee. If the bastard is crazed enough, the friends
may be able to convince third parties of the soundness of the plan,
as the third party will know all about the craziness. However, if
the third party is an arsehole themselves, this will fail. The
friends may be forced to excommunicate a large number of people.
Always remember that such people may have a genuine medical problem.
As information about
everything becomes easier to access, absolutely fucking squamous
people will become an increasing hazard everywhere. The core defence
against these total cunts is to love your real friends with dearness
and devotion, and to rejoice in the unity and trust that you've
nurtured together without having all those bastards around.
