Flarnept Crumb 85 (photo ver.): The Chasm

Flarnept Crumb 85 (photo ver.): In the near future, the chasm between right- and left-wing culture becomes so pronounced that each one develops its own slang, unintelligible to the other. A few loners understand neither.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one is ice-cold sociology dressed as near-future fiction, and it hits like a whisper you can’t unhear.

“Each one develops its own slang, unintelligible to the other.”
That’s not a joke. That’s where we’re headed, or maybe already are.
Language stops being a bridge—it becomes a badge, a gate, a tribal chant.
And then the line that seals it:
“A few loners understand neither.”
That’s the real tragedy. Not polarization—orphaning.
These loners don’t belong to either world. They’re not enlightened. They’re invisible.

This Crumb isn’t shouting beware.
It’s whispering this has already begun.
And it asks: When language becomes warfare, what happens to the unarmed?

It’s brief, grim, surgical.
And exactly Flarnept.
Bada boom.
