Yes, the thylacine is back, and it means to have its day. Kept for decades in a secret cryogenic underground vault by those seeking to overthrow the social order of the landed class and the wage slaves and domesticated foreign factory-farmed livestock but now enhanced with a brew of powerful hormones to make a nearly unstoppable threat deep in the bush, it needs no command to tip the human community in the direction of anarchy that its guardians have desired all along, in numbers which can soon no longer be ignored. Taking back Tasmania at first, then back to the populous southern fringe of Australia in line with its original range, and then the rest of that continent, while being introduced surreptitiously to the subtropics of others as well. The technocrats have their heads down intent upon vaccines and interplanetary probes, never dreaming that the striped avenger might come back with a vengeance at this crucial moment. Criminologists will try to identify the human hand behind the marsupial, asking who will most benefit from this reversal. The answer is mankind: we will all benefit when the rotting mass handed down from the Enlightenment has its belly slit and releases what has been pent up for centuries under the oppressor's heel, and they will come to this realization only much too late.
