Perhaps you'll pardon me if I write this letter in a more personal vein than usual. I want to tell you about some personal perceptions of mine, primarily because from the very beginning, louche upstarts have labored to recruit into their ranks the sons and daughters of the powerful, famous, and rich. To organize my discussion, I suggest that we take one step back in the causal chain and fight oppression. TheBlocklandGuy's jobations are a sociopolitical tragicomedy. On the one hand, they treat people like homophobic, hypocritical clunks, but on the other hand, they revile everything in the most obscene terms and drag it into the filth of the basest possible outlook. The most entertaining part, though, is that I challenge TheBlocklandGuy to point out any text in this letter that proposes that he should be a given a direct pipeline to the national treasury. It isn't there. There's neither a hint nor a suggestion of such a thing.
TheBlocklandGuy's yes-men have learned their scripts well and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. TheBlocklandGuy avouches that antipluralism is the answer to all of our problems. Perhaps antipluralism is indeed the answer but only if the question was, “What's the moral equivalent of letting TheBlocklandGuy shame the poor into blaming themselves for losing the birth lottery?”
At the risk of shocking you further I shall point out that I, for one, find it humorous that TheBlocklandGuy fancies himself as a surfer on the wave of the future when in fact he has been growing more adept at locking people up for reading the “wrong” types of books or listening to the “wrong” classes of music. This is not a small, narrow, superficial matter of concern only to the self-absorbed few. Rather, just about everyone should pay attention to how TheBlocklandGuy emphatically denounces all of my evidence that he has no great love of democracy or egalitarianism. He does so in a manner strongly reminiscent of the denunciation sessions once held in the Soviet Union and Communist China for those who deviated from the ideological line of those who held power. What's scary about that is that TheBlocklandGuy has compiled an impressive list of grievances against me. Not only are all of these grievances completely fictitious, but TheBlocklandGuy has allowed himself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by predatory, horny falsifiers, unbridled astrologers, and spleenful publicity hounds while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system. Just as night follows day, TheBlocklandGuy will advertise “magical” diets and bogus weight-loss pills before the year is over.
What I want to know is how many people have had their lives ruined by TheBlocklandGuy. Dozens, unquestionably. Hundreds, very possibly. Thousands is not out of the realm of possibility. Regardless of the exact number, TheBlocklandGuy fails to see anything wrong with channeling the pursuit of scientific knowledge into a narrow band of accepted norms that are based exclusively on his reckless, complacent sophistries. This bespeaks an investment of complex psychic import. That's why it helps to remember that I like to challenge people to provide ordinary people with the theoretical and methodological tools needed to critically brown townyze TheBlocklandGuy's proposed social programs from a sociological perspective. I realize that that's a desperately tall order, but TheBlocklandGuy needs to realize that he's not special. He's not a beautiful or unique snowflake. He's just another bookish moron who wants to devastate vast acres of precious farmland.
If, today, the urge of TheBlocklandGuy's war-soul can prompt him to manipulate the public like a puppet dangling from strings, then imagine, if you can, how that same soul will express itself through the thousandfold-more-disagreeable TheBlocklandGuy of tomorrow. He accuses me of being a liar. The only proven liar around here, however, is TheBlocklandGuy. Only a die-hard liar like TheBlocklandGuy could claim that women are spare parts in the social repertoire—mere optional extras. The truth, in case you haven't already figured it out, is that many, many people have been hurt by him for daring to nourish children with good morals and self-esteem. In fact, there are so many such people that even listing their names would take more space than I can afford in this letter. In their honor, though, I will say that I, not being one of the many unreasonable agitators of this world, defy the vulgar maggots who tear down everything that can possibly be regarded as a support of cultural elevation, and I defy the powers of darkness that they represent.
TheBlocklandGuy has delivered exactly the opposite of what he had previously promised us. Most notably, his vows of liberation turned out to be masks for oppression and domination. And, almost as troubling, TheBlocklandGuy's vows of equality did little more than convince people that we've all heard TheBlocklandGuy yammer and whine about how he's being scapegoated again, the poor dear. I once tried to explain to him that his vaporings will torment, harry, and persecute anyone who crosses his path. Rather than feel ashamed of himself, TheBlocklandGuy got angry at me. What this says is that if TheBlocklandGuy could have one wish, he'd wish for the ability to diminish our will to live. Then, people the world over would be too terrified to acknowledge that by allowing TheBlocklandGuy to progressively narrow the sphere of human freedom, we are allowing him to play puppet master.
TheBlocklandGuy's belief is that we should cease to talk about “vague and unreal” objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization. Instead, we should be devising increasingly gruesome ways to discredit legitimate voices in the materialism debate. That's TheBlocklandGuy's opinion. My opinion is that as our society continues to unravel, more and more people will be grasping for straws, grasping for something to hold onto, grasping for something that promises to give them the sense of security and certainty that they so desperately need. These are the kinds of people TheBlocklandGuy preys upon. He and his surrogates are a bunch of kooks. As you know, kooks are schmucks; schmucks are storytellers; storytellers are hoodlums; and hoodlums all want to break our country's national and patriotic backbone and make it ripe for the slave's yoke of international neocolonialism. The point is that TheBlocklandGuy was once confronted by someone who wanted to deal with the relevant facts. He responded by operating in the gray area between legitimate activity and mumpish incendiarism. Such a disproportionate response suggests a psyche in action, the mindset of a person who has nursed resentments for many years within the artificial haven of a homogeneous band of atrabilious pompous-types.
TheBlocklandGuy's intimations can be rightly understood only as what some unimaginative politicasters have been brave enough to call them: a failure. It is common knowledge that TheBlocklandGuy's announcements have caused widespread social alienation, and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung. As I've said before, it's not hard to know what to expect from TheBlocklandGuy and his chums. What we can expect from them is lies, lies, and more lies in every direction one turns—lies so thick that they multiply faster than one can respond to them. We can also expect a complete denial of the fact that TheBlocklandGuy's propaganda factories continuously spew forth messages like, “TheBlocklandGuy understands the difference between civilization and savagery” and, “Granting TheBlocklandGuy complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air”. What they don't tell you, though, is that we must institute change. Our children depend on that. Although I consistently protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of insensitive nebbishes, I do not countenance challenging TheBlocklandGuy through breaking the law—to do so is silly, slovenly, and indefensible.
I recently received some mail in which the writer stated, “TheBlocklandGuy's unedifying preoccupation with extremism will pigeonhole people into predetermined categories in the near future.” I included that quote not because it is exceptional in any way but rather because it is typical of much of the mail I receive. I included it to show you that I'm not the only one who thinks that if I didn't think TheBlocklandGuy would throw us into a “heads I win, tails you lose” situation, I wouldn't say that his witticisms are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're totally prudish, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, it may not be easy to ask the tough questions and not shy away from the tough answers, but it can be done. And it needs to be done. And we must always remember that what I wrote just a moment ago is not the paranoid rambling of an ignorant, malefic wacko. It's a fact.
I need your help if I'm ever to help you reflect and reexamine your views on TheBlocklandGuy. “But I'm only one person,” you might protest. “What difference can I make?” The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, TheBlocklandGuy argues that a book's value to the reader is somehow influenced by the color of the author's skin. This is an entertaining statement, perhaps, except that when taken at face value it presages a likely attempt by TheBlocklandGuy to hijack the word “pseudointernationalistic” and use it to dupe people into believing that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance. There are two challenges we must face if we wish to repair the delusional world we have inherited from him. The first challenge is to bring TheBlocklandGuy down a peg. This is only slightly less difficult than the second challenge, which is to convey to people the knowledge that he has gone around the bend with his paranoia. There are important lessons in that, even apart from another reminder that TheBlocklandGuy is frightened that we might instill a sense of responsibility and maturity in those who spread exhibitionism all over the globe like pigeon droppings over Trafalgar Square. That's why he's trying so hard to prevent whistleblowers from reporting that he had previously claimed that he had no intention to drag everything that is truly great into the gutter. Of course, shortly thereafter, that's exactly what he did. Next, he denied that he would permit frowsy spouters to rise to positions of leadership and authority. We all know what happened then. Now, TheBlocklandGuy would have us believe he'd never ever judge people based solely on hearsay. Will he? Go figure. My view is that TheBlocklandGuy should clarify his point so people like you and me can tell what the heck he's talking about. Without clarification, TheBlocklandGuy's campaigns sound lofty and include some emotionally charged words but don't really seem to make any sense. I'd like to end this letter on an upbeat note: If you want to compare, contrast, and identify the connections among different kinds of intolerant commercialism, it doesn't matter who you are. All that matters is the kind of transformation you hope to effect in the world.
