The useful thing - when you see those seething, populist, rabble-rousing posts - is that you discover the source of the rage and its quality.
For myself, I think it is borne of a sense of powerlessness, of being unable to contribute, of having hope that cannot find a voice, of tending a plot in which volunteers spring forth, unfurling their tendrils insidiously amongst the neat rows of lavender and roses. A gardener without a rake rages against nature in the confines of his garden.
Cartoon irony.
