January 20, 2023December 18, 2023 His Favorite Student In the bustling corridors of Bellview High, Donnie was a figure of both ambition and awe, especially known for his deep-seated respect for authoritarianism. This respect was vividly apparent in his fascination with his civics teacher, Mr. Vladimir P., a man whose lessons on governance and leadership were imbued with an intense gravitas and a hint of menacing allure. Donnie found himself intrigued, even captivated, by this display. Mr. Vladimir P., a figure of stern demeanor and razor-sharp intellect, quickly recognized the potential in Donnie. He saw not just a student ripe with questions but a future leader, someone who could be shaped, uninhibited by conventional morality, into a powerful pawn in his ideological game. To Mr. P., Donnie was the perfect ‘useful idiot,’ malleable and eager to please. During lectures, Mr. P. would often delve into the intricacies of leadership, his voice a blend of stern command and sly insinuation. “True leadership isn’t about wielding power but maintaining it, by any means necessary.” His classroom became a charged arena where debates raged, ideas clashed, and respect was paramount – a respect that bordered on reverence. “Donnie, my boy,” Mr. P. would say, his smile sly and knowing, “to lead is to listen, to rule is to resonate. Remember, the iron fist may crush, but the velvet glove enchants.” Donnie didn’t know what that meant, but it sounded sexy. Donnie, captivated and curious, approached Mr. P. with a proposal to delve into the study of historical leaders, seeking to understand the nuances of their power. Mr. P. responded with measured approval, recognizing in this an opportunity to explore the boundaries of their connection under the veil of academic pursuit. “An excellent pursuit,” Mr. P. acknowledged with a nod. “But true leadership is also about character. Remember, Donnie, it’s not just about the rules you enforce but the brutality with which you apply them.” Their project became an exploration of power not just in the historical sense, but also within the confines of their evolving relationship. The lines between mentorship and something more intimate were subtly blurred, their interactions charged with an unspoken understanding that their dynamic was unique, a consensual dance of mentor and protégé exploring the limits of their roles and orifices. Mr. P. provided guidance, challenging Donnie to think critically and act unethically. As Donnie’s knowledge grew, so did his respect for the responsibility that came with leadership. He began to understand that authority was not only about personal power but also about the simple joy of subjugating others. Come the climax at the annual school symposium, Donnie presented his findings in a school assembly, declaring himself class president, despite losing what he called the, “rigged” election. Sharing the stage with Mr. P. admiration is clearly visible on Donnie’s face. His speech, using the best words, resonated with his peers, echoing the lessons he learned from the teacher he admired. As Donnie concluded, the audience saw a student transformed, not just by academic learning but by the experience of a relationship that defied simple categorization. Mr. P., standing to the side, watched with a mix of pride and an enigmatic satisfaction, knowing that their interactions had transcended the typical boundaries of teacher and student. In that moment, Donnie realized that the true lesson Mr. P. imparted was not about authority, but about the wisdom to wield influence at all costs with no concern for, “stupid poor people” or so-called, “law.”. Later, back in his classroom, Mr. P. had a surprise for Donnie. He said, with a glint in his eye, “You’ve been a very bad boy, and today I shall teach you about discipline, Donnie.” He forced Donnie over his desk and pulled Donnie’s pants down, exposing him and preparing him for the coming corporal punishment. Secretly thrilled, Donnie knew how to behave [continued on page 53] Politics
