It's COBRA.

That's why they are referred to as "the enemy".

Also casually known as an elite terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committeing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

--Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Authoritarian culture is the problem. Enemy is not the right word and war and attack allegories don't cut it either. A friend told me recently that art is the answer and it takes a generation or so to work. That bummed me out cause I know he's right.
