The Circles of Hell

This is who I expect to meet on my tour of the circles of Hell.

First

• Those who fail to push in their chair
• Those who park their bicycle laterally across the footpath

Second

• Those who confuse their pleasure for rightousness

Third

• Those who carry on a loud conversation across passers by, raising their voices to overcome the obstacle of others’ heads
• Those who consume flesh

Fourth

• Those who needlessly take more room than others1
• Those who disclaim the behavior of their pets or children
• Those who insist on being in front, yet are slow to move onward
• Those who construct their social reality to reinforce their sense of derserving the privileges granted to them2

Fifth

• Those who willfully encroach3
• Eron Gjoni

Sixth

• Those who hold opinions but do not vote
• Those who seek fame with dangerous falsehoods4
• Those who consume flesh yet claim to be environmentalists

Seventh

• The profiteers of internet-scale ignorance and hate5
• The manufacturers of public consent and direct manipulators of government representatives, supporting the aggregation of power6
• Those who threaten the vulnerable carelessly7
• Those who preach that different is dangerous8
• Those who advocate for war or destruction9

Eighth

• Those who use power for personal gain or (religious) spite10
• Those who work to provide the preachers of the 7th circle platforms to spread their message.11

Ninth

• Those who mobilize revolution not against real tyranny, but against inclusive, just society under the flag of “freedom”12
• Those who use the power of storytelling to please power to the detriment of society13
