In Manifesto by George Saunders, he makes a speech about his organization PRKA, or People Reluctant to Kill for an Abstraction, and what they do in their daily lives. Basically, he demonstrates how peaceful the members of the PRKA are, how they do not infringe on other people’s rights and safety, and how easily they were able to compromise or forgive someone that they disagreed with. He even declared that nonmembers, part-time members, or people unaware that they were members have contributed to this level of peacefulness/kindness and even sometimes help/were kind to the people that they disliked. He also makes a point to include the fact that there were members of this organization all across the globe and that they are able to outnumber anyone who opposed them or this organization.
In my opinion, I do not think the PRKA are an actual organization. I think they represent normal people across the globe who value peace and kindness in their everyday lives. The purpose George Saunders has for writing this is to promote the value of being kind to other people regardless of whether or not they hate who that other person is, their ideas, or their lifestyles. He wants to show the reader that there are millions of kind people all around the world that are able to compromise and forgive when they are unsatisfied with something. He wants to inspire the reader to bring this peacefulness and kindness into their daily lives and help out another person while they are doing their daily routine.
