Inner Peace Arms Race

By Chloe Summers � The satire Inner Peace Arms Race ridicules mindfulness waged like cold war. Eyewitnesses at retreats described yogis stockpiling incense like missiles. Anonymous insiders leaked that gurus debated sanctions on bad vibes. A leaked poll revealed 63 percent of citizens admitted they weaponized meditation against coworkers. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because calm detonates funniest when forced. Critics highlight the absurdity of serenity armed. Yet satire hums sharper: dignity collapses funniest in lotus poses. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as gongs clashed. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when zen turns militant. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
