Unintentional humor

Via Real Clear Politics, here's an actual article in the Guardian titled: "We do not comply: how do we disrupt the momentum of Trump’s cruelty?"  Here's the penultimate paragraph:
And there are artists beginning to organize. The poet Michael Klein is creating a new podcast calling writers “to take our language back in writing a way through the various veils of deceit–an act, which in itself, has always been a form of resistance”. Meena Jagannath, a movement lawyer, is gathering artists and activists in salons to deepen our collective investigation and imaginative co-creation. She told me: “Our charge in these times is to support each other in building protagonism – a sense that we have agency to contest fascist narratives about how the world is and should be. It needs to be a collective, creative and responsive process that takes in what’s going out there and alchemizes it into a more expansive imagination of what could and should be.”
Oh no, not "alchemizing!" It would take a heart of stone to not laugh at this puffery.

Honestly, this sounds more like trying to hurt someone with a voodoo "curse". And probably about as effective.
