Spoiler alert: the convoy never came for the author of the piece, the actual title is "When the Rage Came for Me."
If you can make it past the author's compulsion to express literal disgust of other humans (6 different times in a short piece) then you can look forward to colorful assertions like this one:
"For the first time, I felt political rage: a sharp rise in testosterone, blinding and stupefying and violent. I am ashamed to have felt it. Clearly men should not be in power. Our hormones make us too unreliable. Testosterone is a hell of a drug."
- thomassmith65 5y agoThe article uses two titles; I chose the <header> title (ie: "Trucker Convoy") instead of the <body> title (ie: "Rage"). The former is more useful since HN doesn't include article previews. "Clearly men should not be in power" Yes, I rolled my eyes at that particular line. compulsion to express literal disgust of other humans Well, in context, it makes sense that he would stress that. A major point of the article is that our political environment increasingly features hatred and blame. The implication is that angers begets anger. I sympathize with the sentiment; our zeitgeist probably isn't helping humanity solve problems.
