If you are not with us, you are against us

Long time ago in the ancient world, there was a Big Kingdom called the Confederated Provinces of Truthisms and McLibertisms.

It was ruled by a King named Bernard "Hawk" Gardner The Second.

One day, a clandestine political faction called the "Tarists" sabotaged numerous properties inside the Kingdom and killed many people.

The enraged King Gardner announced a rallying call to all the other leaders of the ancient world. There will be a great War to eradicate all the Tarists in the world.

"IF YOU ARE NOT WITH US, YOU ARE WITH THE TARISTS!"

A diplomat from the Republic of Kaffays and Burreys didn't like the sound of that.

"Actually, your majesty, we are not with you, but we are against the Tarists."

"You are not with us? Then you are a Tarist!"

"But we are against Tarists."

"Then YOU ARE WITH US!"

"But we are also against you."

"How can that be? You already said you are against Tarists. How can you turn around and say that you can be against us? Young man don't test my patience!!!"

"Your majesty we are against both the Confederated Provinces AND the Tarists. Since you are not with the Republic of K&B, you are with the Tarists."

"But we are AGAINST the Tarists!"

King Gardner can never understand how anyone can be both against the Confederated Provinces and the Tarists.

Everyone else (except King Bloomy Tare of the Union of Fish and Chips) could not understand why everyone must be with the C.P.T.M in order to be against the Tarists.

Eventually King Gardner attacked a rival Kingdom by sabotaging their property and killing many people.

The Tarists themselves were rather confused, because despite the destruction somehow they were left nearly untouched.
