Four agents/doers I have observed in this New Gambia:
1 - Low-key doers: subtle in approach and so evasive of attention. They're so reckful that theirs is often misunderstood as indifference. Their methods and routes can be so long and winding but usually practical.
2 - High-key doers: they must flaunt everything they do, and so loudly that it can be seen, heard, and talked about. You cannot but admire their gift for attention.
3 - The Trojans: appealingly disguised as genuine but spitefully misleading. Traits: identity politics, destiny-denying bigotry, covert tribalism (inventing instances of discrimination just to play victim and throw slurs), selective bashing, pseudo-empathy, bunch of flip-floppers and disappointed cherrypickers calling people hypocrites. You cannot even have an intelligent conversation with them without draining your energy. May we know them so we know how to deal with them.
4 - The rest of us.
