I’d like to reiterate that the conflict of this article is rider vs. elephant. I hate myself. But who hates who exactly?

So we’re at the point in this article where I think I’ve established enough content within this article that we can now start doing close readings of the article itself. I wrote at the very start that “The conflict of this article is rider versus elephant, or riders versus elephants if you all would care to join me.” So I, the rider, am speaking to the riders. Wait a minute, Brian! I spot bullshit!
