Hi, Matt—
A very dark view of human nature, indeed.
The last line comes as a surprise, but I think the reader has been prepared to cheer on the men taking us to the showers, since our existence is so unjustifiable.
The reference to the showers is a dangerously loaded allusion to the Holocaust. The danger is that the piece could be read as a justification of that genocide. The anti-Semitic propaganda used by Nazi Germany cast Jews in the role of useless parasites.
Who, exactly, did you intend the “we” to be?
