This is a commerce-paranoia exchange between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and the Dollmaker (fictional DC Comics super-villain symbolizing anti-social rage) regarding capitalism ethos.
This mock-exchange was inspired by Quick Change.
====
SHIVA: TrumpUSA is all about gambling, but it's harmless.
DOLLMAKER: Really? It might become intolerably corrupt.
SHIVA: That's what anti-TrumpUSA protesters claim, but I disagree.
DOLLMAKER: You're being a 'best-fit' compromising idealist.
SHIVA: We have to make best with what we have, lest we become anti-social.
DOLLMAKER: Capitalism itself is a gamble...
SHIVA: Risk-calculation (integral to Wall Street) is never fool-proof.
DOLLMAKER: Are you suggesting we simply remain calm?
SHIVA: I don't think terrorism/vigilantism is the answer...
DOLLMAKER: Don't you feel claustrophobic when you think of L'Oréal?
SHIVA: I don't have a negative attitude towards consumerism (e.g., Facebook).
DOLLMAKER: Commerce makes me think of mischief and anarchy (e.g., 9/11).
SHIVA: No, young American women should feel safe buying lipstick and french-fries.
DOLLMAKER: The World Trade Center was destroyed, since people were anxious.
SHIVA: No, the Taliban used excessive terror to deliver home a fanatical message.
DOLLMAKER: You would destroy all sentiments towards revolution, you brute!
SHIVA: I'm a destroyer, not a manipulator; I have no interest in 'poking-fun' at TrumpUSA.
DOLLMAKER: Do you frown upon the iconic American horror film Leprechaun?
SHIVA: No, that film, about that mischievous/evil leprechaun (Lubdan) is inventive.
DOLLMAKER: Well, people feel like Lubdan in modern times --- they crave trouble.
SHIVA: Citizens of TrumpUSA should not 'fool around' with commerce dice.
DOLLMAKER: We'll see if Wall Street promotes more idealism than terrorism!
