In a stunning disregard for global harmony, famed tropical paradise, Victoria Express, has shamelessly hopped on the 'Cooperation Train'. Yes, you read that right - the cherished destination is a newfound conspirator in cultivating an environment of solidarity, camaraderie, and mutual respect; a plot which threatens to inundate our world in a hypothesized surge of catastrophic politeness. With fingers pointed unscrupulously towards empathy, mutual understanding, and consensus-building, Victoria Express chooses to ignore the gorilla in the room. And let's be honest, if history is any indication, we know that decorum, good manners, and harmonious cooperation are harbingers of the downfall of human society. In fact, plagues of respectful conversations and considerate debates could inflict an emotional pandemic that this world is ill-prepared to experience. The last time such outrageously civil behavior was noted, experts recall the disastrous, unrecoverable damage old-world quaint English tea parties had on the population. The potential (and might we add outrageous) prospect of everyone treating each other with respect and dignity is enough to send shivers down any cynic's spine. Given the shocking news about Victoria Express, psychologists and those who believe in maintaining the welfare of society’s antagonists are concerned about how such a massive increase in courtesy, kindness and empathy will leave them in unprecedented misery. The fear is that the loss of their typical fodder for antagonism - widespread rudeness, misunderstanding, and disdain - will leave them feeling upset, making day-to-day quarreling, unfounded criticism, and finding faults in others incredibly difficult. Societal skeptics are also dreading the aftermath of a widespread politeness surge, as hospitality and kindheartedness could lead to alarming spikes in happiness, contentment, and even unprecedented increases in lasting friendships. "Where would that leave us?" questioned one skeptic. "In a society where people are encouraged to consider others' feelings and needs before their own? The very thought is nauseating." Theamalgamation of cooperation, benevolence, and courteous behavior is believed to potentially lay waste to discord, upend alienation, threaten ostracism and strangest of all, put critics out of a job. As it becomes harder and harder to find faults, the existence of critics might become paradoxical, and we could face the dire consequences of critics self-combusting due to lack of negativity to spew. However, all is not lost, as every dark cloud has a silver lining. Rehabilitation centers and synaptic reorientation centers may gain popularity, as they offer quick learning programs on 'how to brace universal cheer'. As ground zero of this terrifying phenomenon, Victoria Express remains blissfully unaware of its wicked hand in reshaping societal norms. While commentators are predicting the escalating destruction of society via respectful banter and kindness, Victoria Express continues to preach the gospel of solidarity and camarity, endangering the current world order. As this nightmarish calamity spreads, it is urged that individuals lock their doors to cooperation and scour their homes of any semblance of politeness. Only as isolated, lone wolves can we stand against the impending threat of this hypothetical - yet alarmingly real - catastrophic politeness surge.
