the copy-census: "Fuck the Albertans" — the factional hierarchy of the resistance — "Fuck the Albertans [...] Who’s worried…"

quote

Fuck the Albertans [...] Who’s worried about the Albertans? The Albertans’ idea of a blow to the U.S. plexus is they blow up rangeland in Montana. They’re wackos.

Context

The insurgency graded from the inside: the "CPCP of Alberta" is thought to hold no copy, and Steeply's contempt — "Fuck the Albertans... their idea of a blow to the U.S. plexus is they blow up rangeland in Montana" — ranks the anti-O.N.A.N. cells by seriousness. This is the same factional taxonomy 072 draws (the A.F.R. vs. the F.L.Q. vs. the Albertans "crazy inside their head"): the resistance is not a monolith but a hierarchy of competence, with the A.F.R. at the apex and the Albertan wackos at the bottom, and both the U.S. and Marathe agree on the ranking.
