... I ...You aren't going to find me suddenly one day not hounding you to get off your ass and rise up, but don't mistake this for a bloodthirsty impulse, or for lethal naiveté about the ghosts of our forefathers mystically inhabiting any leadership that arises with us. My point is that there is no alternative means of stopping the harm, the outrageous criminality, the abjection to sociopathic impulses. None.
I'm not inciting you to violence. I am telling you that you must not shrink from the violence that surely inheres an effort to quell an uprising that would be effective. You have to get out in the streets both physically and metaphorically and that does mean being noticed by the sociopaths who must be stopped. So we do it in our millions. The vanguard is making itself a target so you will run out your front door to reinforce it. It's out there to get you to join it. You're dunning it for its misspellings and pitching hissies about its political misapprehensions, even as it very plainly is trying to stand up for YOUR life.
What would be wrong with having a little humility and teaching yourself to stick up for your misapprehending brothers and sisters who will never win a spelling bee? What would happen if you suddenly started piping up against the strident fuckers with sham spines, that evil tide of fascists-in-denial who want you to think of them as "progressives", in defense of the courage and altruism of the politically incorrect? How UGLY AMERICAN is it to keep deflecting the awful truth you KNOW, but terrifies you too much to admit? You scream and whine about them hating America for listening to the fascist shills on Fox, but can't hear the fascist shilling going on full blast at MSNBC and HuffPo and TPM because... because... because whut? They know how to spell? Their shilling is more subtle and nuanced?
Is that right?
That's right.
The sociopaths recognized that our side needs more nuance and élan to be brought along peacefully. So they let us have Obama, and they are now ripping the guts out of America much more subtly, and MUCH more viciously than ever before.
So what if—since yer so good with yer mouth—you just started DEFENDING the people who, agree with them or not, have the courage to defend you? What if Naomi Wolf and David Swanson and Chris Floyd started getting up to address the Tea Parties? Are you SURE Sarah Palin would stay a bigger draw? Yes, you are. Is that right? No, you stupid fucks, it is wrong. Getting up in solidarity with their American impulse to protest and to fight fascism will be met with GRATITUDE... if leaving some a bit mystified.
For the ENTIRE history of America we all, from every walk, have agreed to protect each other's rights and to stand for liberty and justice for all, no matter WHAT else we think, but only some of us are honoring that social contract... and these are mostly NOT from the purported "left".
I don't know if you labored through Kenney's dud style of interviewing my anti-Zionist homeboy last night, but in that interview he mentions about how the "left" skipped its big chance to put down Israeli aggression once and for all because Pappy Bush was the one who'd get the credit for it.
YOUR PARTISANSHIP AND PUSILLANIMITY IS GENOCIDAL.
So I'm asking you to get brave enough to STOP blasting away against the only Americans standing up for America, and, further, to save yer sorry souls by DEFENDING them instead. Maybe you won't run out onto the streets to wrest our lifeblood and treasure from sociopaths out to slaughter and enslave vast swaths of humanity—INCLUDING YOU—but you CAN sit down and pick out what you find admirable about your illiterate and gauche brothers and sisters, and emphasize THAT instead of your own immoral—IMMORTAL—complicity.
The tide of public opinion itself, if large enough, could turn this around—because these new world order fucks are in a supremely weak position, globally, just hanging on by a thread, and needing badly to have you in a lock or lose it all—but it has to be huge, and it won't be huge enough to save any of us if a whole lot of us don't cut this shit out.
Don't like me assailing your precious virtue? Tough shit. DEAL with it. WTF would be wrong with GETTING SOME instead of keeping up your sickeningly self-serving and life-harming excuses?
WHO were the Nazis? They were the dominant incarnation of a global business élite, which also showed itself in the Fascisti in Italy, but consisted behind these fronts of plutocrats from all over, INCLUDING the United States and England. We, the Allies, did not beat fascism, did not beat the Nazis, in World War Two. The oligarchs just realized they'd wrung every dollar from it they could without obliterating technological prizes, divvied up the scientists, moved them out of Germany, and called the whole thing off. They have continued in their schemes—lo, these sixty-five years intervening—and now find themselves in position to attempt what they didn't manage back then. We have all been referring to it as "globalization" for something like twenty years now, give or take, without, in the main, ever realizing what we are saying.
It's a Nazi term.
It's a fascist term.
It's what's happening to America right now. It is trite by now to remind you that THIS is the answer to our constant questioning about how ever in the world could the German people have countenanced the rise of Hitler, of Nazism.
YOUR EXCUSES ARE PRECISELY HOW THAT HAPPENED.
.
... II ...BTW, if yer reaction to my beating you over the head with your own stupidity is to become even more adamant about your excuses, your judgments about the jackasses out there stubbornly voting against their own interests, with attitude, who WON'T listen to reason, no matter what, THIS answers THAT question too. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
.
... III ...Oh, no, 99, I can't fight against the Death Star's Lord Vader with those people because they worship an invisible friend. I can't fight for all mankind alongside anyone who would keep homosexuals from marrying. I can't be counted in a crowd against our vampire overlords if they can't even spell their wrongheaded signs. You can never convince me anyone who's been duped by a bunch of overpaid shills is brave enough to thwart the Emperor. No! 99! Yer just full of happy claptrap about courage and heart. They're cannon fodder, stupid hicks who want to slaughter sand niggers and molest children at Bible Camp. They are not trying to stop the Death Star! They just want Sarah Palin to front for it! Yeah, that's the ticket! They just want Sarah Palin to get back at Obama for being a glib community organizer where only narcissistic sociopath bumpkin governors belong! This isn't a fight between The Force and The Empire! This is a fight between the decent proponents of an enlightened society and farting and belching cavemen for whose turn it will next be to lead us.
Never mind that "lead us" is a euphemism for "follow Lord Vader's orders" and never mind that the fight that must be fought is the one common to cavemen and ivory tower dwellers alike. No, no. Don't pay attention to that. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Just look at the big looming head and keep fighting someone more your own size.
You know, NONE of that matters. If we don't blow up the Death Star we won't ever be able to duke it out to decide any of that stuff. The whole world will continue to be done to us and we will continue to be spit out at whim, continue with our health and our food and every penny we ever worked for completely subject to their whim. You'll get treated better if you work your brains out, for as long as you can work your brains out the way they say is okay, where they say it's okay, and for whatever pay they feel like letting you use to keep body and soul together. The moment something impedes your steady production will be the moment something impedes your steady breathing. And all this will only be so long as they see a profit in it. The instant they see that robbing you of more of your ability to pay for life necessities, while shortening your productive life, actually enhances their bottom line, you won't even be allowed to work your brains out to stay alive.
It's already happening.
Those farting cavemen who can't spell "moron" are protesting ever more loudly about it.
.
... IV ...Are they right to manipulate your preference for serfdom over pain? Is it okay to stay thinking like the herd when the herd is fed what to think by bastards who know how to funnel the herd from its pasture straight to the abattoir? You know that if you leave it up to them, YOU will lose, but you keep getting distracted by all these hypnotic ideas and lies and the constant goosing with horror stories... tasers... underwear bombs... scary mullahs... people going postal in the cockpits of their planes... on campuses... in the woods practicing with paint guns... toe tapping in the men's room... drone attacks... active denial technology... angry colored people... jackknifed chemical tankers... missing children... the streets of Mexico littered with corpses... earthquakes... hurricanes... tsunamis... suicide bombs.
Sure we should legalize pot.
Is that the way life on earth should be? Is that the way it has to be?
Are Oprah and Rupert and Warren really worth more than the billions living outside the castle walls?
Is that right?
Is all this happening to everyone really less important than staying too busy with your Hatfield and McCoy trip to ever have to face Vader's light saber?
I think so. I really think that's it.
.
... V ...You know, I've been listening to a couple of those wackos with an imaginary friend talking about pretty much exactly what I always talk about, and actually seem to have the same idea about removing the power of the Death Star by ceasing to fear them, ceasing to heed them, them just ending up being taken out by a population that finds itself suddenly sick to death of their shit... sort of like the end of Ceauşescu, only, optimally, without the slaughter part... but they are also counseling that we should all be praying for the Death Star people. Not that they get what's coming to them, but that they awaken to the harm and stop it. They don't seem to think that their imaginary friend will do this, but rather that there is this power when vast numbers of people set their hearts on something together, from wherever, all over, just a big enough number of humans willing certain of us to wake up....
I think that's pretty cool. I don't see what's so all-fired unforgivable about their religious beliefs that you couldn't go out there with them and pump your fist at the cameras with them... or stay in and join their prayer... or go out and pump your fist and join this prayer.
Are you really telling me you can't hang with this?
I mean, we all knew what he meant and would it be better if he'd picketed for us to get a heart?
Naw. Too sappy.
.
... VI ...I mean, did you ever stop to think that if we didn't have to be filling these few plutocrats' coffers with piles of lucre the size of Jupiter, we would not need a giant government to create our ideal world? All those "assholes" we revile for wanting to drown it in a bathtub might not actually be nearly as assholish as we suppose. Or maybe some of them are but would be mollified completely into being blandly content Joe Nobodies if they weren't having to pay and pay and pay for shit that NEVER does anything but rip us off and get us blown up and dead or maimed in some third world country... in some other third world country, that is. [See below for details.]
I bet you never stopped to think of that.
.
... VII ...Hell! They're SPACE LIZARDS, literally or metaphorically, and there's no telling. They are strict adherents to perfidies so perfidious people have died horribly of them for millennia, perfidies only ancient brutes could have concocted and modern ones still observe. Aren't we always going on about LEARNING from history? What really is the problem here?
There are people walking around on this planet who believe we are being farmed as food for space aliens. This is neither here nor there to me, because we are being farmed as food by space lizards we can see and touch and vote for... and so it's probably only their subconsciousnesses trying to shield these hysterical people from utterly unacceptable reality with all these ideas about spacecraft and ghastly flesh-eaters off-world. They're RIGHT HERE.
You can't make reality acceptable if you can't put yourself through it to see it and fix it.
