Over in Britain, University of Manchester passed a resolution to ban clapping at student union events “to avoid triggering anxiety”.
Can you imagine if Brits were this pansy during the Revolutionary War? We’d have won by default when they wet themselves and ran home after the Shot Heard ‘Round the World.
“Don’t fire ’till you see their tighty-whities from behind!”

I fear claps
I fear collapse
The sun never sets
Yet it dims

Never in the field of human conduct have so many
“Oh!”d
so much
for so few
Most empires are not conquered from without, they collapse from within.
