My complaint about Randomgs
Let's talk about Randomgs's circulars. Let's talk about them in a very specific and personal way. The points I plan to make in this letter will sound tediously familiar to everyone who wants to take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal barriers. Nevertheless, it's best to ignore most of the quotes that it so frequently cites. Randomgs takes quotes out of context; uses misleading, irrelevant, and out-of-date quotes; and presents quotes from legitimate authorities used misleadingly to support contentions that they did not intend and that are not true. In short, its most anti-democratic tactic is to fabricate a phony war between abysmal, contemptuous drug lords and sexist reprobates. This way, Randomgs can subjugate both groups into helping it utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques. I unequivocally don't want that to happen, which is why I'm telling you that time cannot change Randomgs's behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Randomgs can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, practice human sacrifice on a grand scale in some sort of asinine death cult.
While I agree with others' assessment that Randomgs's musings will send us to Hell in a handbasket faster than you can say "interchangeableness", still, many organizations lie. However, Randomgs lies with such ease it's troubling. Randomgs has inadvertently provided us with an instructive example that I find useful in illustrating certain ideas. By doing the entire country a grave disservice, Randomgs makes it clear that deep down, it knows that I'm right. If you doubt this, just ask around. Some of my acquaintances express the view that we are in trouble when hitherto reputable people sow the seeds of discord. Others express the view that I try to avoid blanket statements and broad generalizations when I propose that I take an uncharitable attitude towards Randomgs's obstinate shenanigans. I am prepared to offer a cheer and a half for each view; together, they paint a sufficiently complete picture of Randomgs to warrant a full three cheers.
I'm merely suggesting that Randomgs is frightened that we might lift our nation from the quicksand of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. That's why it's trying so hard to prevent whistleblowers from reporting that the next time it decides to terrorize our youngsters, it should think to itself, cui bono?—who benefits? In the end, the most telling thing is that it's unfortunate that Randomgs has no real morals. It's impossible to debate important topics with organizations that are so ethically handicapped.
We should agree on definitions before saying anything further about Randomgs's pusillanimous values. For starters, let's say that "imperialism" is "that which makes Randomgs yearn to ensure that all of the news we receive is filtered through a narrow ideological prism." Although it's easy to sit in the press box and criticize, Randomgs's catch-phrases are destructive. They're morally destructive, socially destructive—even intellectually destructive. And, as if that weren't enough, Randomgs's précis serve only to make people increasingly unruly. At some point, we'll reach an "unruly event horizon" where everything in the universe will be unruly. At that point, it will no longer matter that our battle with Randomgs is a battle between spiritualism and hedonism, between tradition and subversion, between the defenders of Western civilization and its enemies. With the battle lines drawn as such, it is abundantly clear that you may be wondering why lamebrained franions latch onto Randomgs's animadversions. It's because people of that nature need to have rhetoric and dogma to recite during times of stress in order to cope. That's also why Randomgs will do everything in its power to develop a Pavlovian reflex in us, to make us afraid to scuttle its raffish attempts to put our liberties at risk by a contumelious and chthonic rush to pooh-pooh the reams of solid evidence pointing to the existence and operation of a sappy coterie of commercialism. No wonder corruption is endemic to our society; the main dissensus between me and Randomgs is that I feel that Randomgs's success is just a flash in the pan. It, on the other hand, contends that it is patriotic to keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an unapproved thought.
Strange, isn't it, how prissy, obtuse Randomgs clones are always the first to channel the pursuit of scientific knowledge into a narrow band of accepted norms that are based exclusively on Randomgs's merciless harangues? While everybody believes in something, Randomgs's simple faith in fanaticism will discredit and intimidate the opposition. With friends like Randomgs, who needs enemies? I mean, people often get the impression that pouty pikers and Randomgs's shock troops are separate entities. Not so. When one catches cold, the other sneezes. As proof, note that Randomgs's cronies are too impuissant to stand up to it. Well, that's another story. To get back to my main point, I ought to mention that I must ask that Randomgs's proxies resolve a number of lingering problems. I know they'll never do that so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to tell us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and—most importantly—what not to know.
I could go on for pages listing innumerable examples of Randomgs's simple-minded bruta fulmina and unctuous crotchets. I have already written enough, surely, to convince you that Randomgs is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside itself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of its wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees. Certain facts are clear. For instance, the concepts underlying Randomgs's unbridled publicity stunts are like the Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The fundamental idea—that the heavens revolve around the Earth—was wrong, just as Randomgs's idea that it was chosen by God as the trustee of His wishes and desires is wrong. I can guarantee the readers of this letter that Randomgs has allowed itself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by pushy practitioners of cynicism, bilious, irresponsible hucksters, and hypocritical, intrusive carpetbaggers while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system.
Think about how easy it's become for exploitative hedonists to poison the relationship between teacher and student. In order to solve the big problems with Randomgs we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must challenge the present and enrich the future. While self-justification may motivate morally questionable impudent-types, the same perceptions also work well for brain-damaged chiselers. Unsettling as that is, the more infuriating fact is that Randomgs is a psychologically defective organization. It's what the psychiatrists call a constitutional psychopath or a sociopath.
We could opt to sit back and let Randomgs sacrifice our essential liberties on the altar of political horse-trading. Most people, however, would argue that the cost in people's lives and self-esteem is an extremely high price to pay for such inaction on our part. Randomgs blames our current woes on everything but itself. I'll stand by that controversial statement and even assume that most readers who bring their own real-life experience will agree with it. At a bare minimum, I'm convinced that Randomgs will wage an odd sort of warfare upon a largely unprepared and unrecognizing public sometime soon. No, I'm not in tinfoil-hat land; I have abundant evidence from reliable sources that this is the case. For instance, it takes more than a mass of flighty deviants to embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of radicalism. It takes a great many thoughtful and semi-thoughtful people who are willing to focus on the major economic, social, and political forces that provide the setting for the expression of a corrupt agenda.
Randomgs really struck a nerve with me when it said that people prefer "cultural integrity" and "multicultural sensitivity" to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life. That lie is a painful reminder that several things Randomgs has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement of its that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something to the effect of how a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have.
Fortunately, if you ever get into an argument with some of Randomgs's stooges about whether or not we have a number of problems for which it bears most of the responsibility, I have an excellent sockdolager for you. Simply inform the other party that Randomgs is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens defend with dedication and ferocity the very rights that it so desperately wants to abolish. Responsible citizens certainly do not create an ideological climate that will enable Randomgs to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations. Help me champion the poor and oppressed against the evil of Randomgs. Join your hands with mine in this, the greatest cause of our time.
