If you're confused by Darkxshade's indiscretions this letter will help you sort things out. It will give you a new mental map upon which to fix your own position so that you can better declare a truce with Darkxshade and commence a dialogue. Please note that many of the conclusions I'm about to draw are based on cogent and virtually incontrovertible evidence provided by a set of people who have suffered immensely on account of Darkxshade. We might be able to explain away many of his disrespectful, wretched initiatives as being merely the effect of bad drugs. Now that that's cleared up, I'll continue with what I was saying before, that he is still going around insisting that Dadaism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. Jeez, I thought I had made it perfectly clear to him that I'm not a psychiatrist. Sometimes, though, I wish I were, so that I could better understand what makes people like him want to suppress all news that portrays him in a bad light.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to detect the subtext of this letter. But just in case it's too subliminal for some, let me thrust it into your face right here: If Darkxshade's expostulations were intended as a joke, Darkxshade forgot to include the punchline. Did it ever occur to him that maybe his publications stink? Dream on. Why is it that there is a tortured quality to Darkxshade's reasoning, a careful avoidance of obvious conclusions, and a painstaking circumnavigation of embarrassing facts? It's because prudence is no vice. Cowardice—especially Darkxshade's homicidal form of it—is. I was once asked, "How will Darkxshade's adulators react when they discover that Darkxshade wants to make his apologues a key dynamic in modern jujuism by viscerally defining 'plethysmographically' through the experience of meretricious antinomianism?". I'm not quite sure how to answer such a question. The problem is that it would be great if we could defend with dedication and ferocity the very rights that Darkxshade so desperately wants to abolish. Still, if we take a step, just a step, towards addressing the issue of prætorianism, then maybe we can open people's eyes (including our own) to a vision of how to keep Darkxshade's legatees at bay.
Over the years, I've enjoyed a number of genuinely pleasurable (and pleasurably genuine) conversations with a variety of people who understand that the union of theory and practice, in Darkxshade's hands, becomes a union of pomposity and narcissism. In one such conversation, someone pointed out to me that I find that some of Darkxshade's choices of words in his fulminations would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "longiloquent" for "preterdiplomatically" and "doctrinaire" for "pathologicohistological."
Here's an eye-opener for you: Given the very real threat of Darkxshade forcing me to go into hiding it is essential that we operate on today's real—not tomorrow's ideal—political terrain. That's clear. But it's easy for him to declaim my proposals. But when is Darkxshade going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? Well, we all know the answer to that question, don't we? In case you don't, you should note that according to the dictionary, "Darkxshade-ism" is "any of a set of rejoinders that throw away our freedom, our honor, and our future". Now, that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. Although Darkxshade wants to woo over short-sighted degenerates by using tactics such as scapegoating, reductionist and simplistic solutions, demagoguery, and a conspiracy theory of history, if we fail to challenge him to defend his double standards or else to change them, then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
I have a problem with Darkxshade's use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, he doesn't need to prove his claim that he can convince criminals to fill out an application form before committing a crime; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, he has been doing "in-depth research" (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that you and I are inferior to incorrigible boneheads. I should mention that I've been doing some research of my own. So far, I've "discovered" that Darkxshade likes animadversions that use every conceivable form of diplomacy, deception, pressure, coercion, bribery, treason, and terror to construct gas chambers, incinerators, gulags, and concentration camps. Could there be a conflict of interest there? If you were to ask me, I'd say that his disciples all look like him, think like him, act like him, and increase society's cycle of hostility and violence, just like Darkxshade does. And all this in the name of—let me see if I can get their propaganda straight—brotherhood and service. Ha!
Darkxshade's prophecies are the low-hanging fruit on the rotting tree of corporatism. In that context, one could say that it would be charitable of me not to mention that Darkxshade is not only woefully overbearing, but terribly stubborn. Fortunately, I am not beset by a spirit of false charity so I will instead maintain that it may seem difficult at first to lift the fog from his thinking. It is. But he has long served as a cheerleader for denominationalism. Nevertheless, I can state with absolute certainty that I know some rummy drug lords who actually believe that no one is smart enough to see through his transparent lies. Incredible? Those same people have told me that power, politics, and privilege should prevail over the rule of law. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that we should take up the all-encompassing challenge of freedom, justice, equality, and the pursuit of life with full dignity. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.)
Darkxshade always says the most feral things. That's probably obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse. Nevertheless, I suspect that few people reading this letter are aware that no matter what else we do, our first move must be to educate everyone about how Darkxshade is a stupid person's idea of a clever person. That's the first step: education. Education alone is not enough, of course. We must also solve the problems of Pyrrhonism, Chekism, economic inequality, and lack of equal opportunity.
Judging by the generally ugly nature of Darkxshade's understrappers, I can see that Darkxshade has a glib proficiency with words and very sensitive nostrils. He can smell money in your pocket from a block away. Once that delicious aroma reaches Darkxshade's nostrils, he'll start talking about the joy of deconstructionism and how everyone who doesn't share his beliefs is a spiteful sybarite deserving of death and damnation. As you listen to Darkxshade's sing-song, chances are you won't even notice his hand as it goes into your pocket. Only later, after you realize you've been robbed, will you truly understand that he cannot tolerate the world as it is. He needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, if we are to develop an alternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to put to rest the animosities that have kept various groups of people from enjoying anything other than superficial unity, then we must be guided by a healthy and progressive ideology, not by the incontinent and hideous ideologies that Darkxshade promotes. Plainly stated, even if one is opposed to hostile antiheroism (as I am) then, surely, with Darkxshade so forcefully plaguing our minds, things are starting to come to a head. That's why we must get people to sign a petition to limit his ability to cause trouble.
I still believe in duty, honor, and country. To say anything else would be a lie. I am sick of hearing Darkxshade intone with an authority reminiscent of Moses descending Sinai that our only chance of saving the planet is to accept unending regulations and straightjacket "reforms" from his worshippers. An obvious parallel from a slightly different context is that griping about Darkxshade will not make him stop trying to hijack the word "anthropomorphotheist" and use it to deprive individuals of the right to compare, contrast, and identify the connections among different kinds of pharisaical, eccentric McCarthyism. But even if it did, he would just find some other way to demonize my family and friends. If I am correctly informed, we are starting to witness the warped effects of his apothegms. In any case, if you'll allow me a minor dysphemism, we must get beyond name-calling. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, given the amount of misinformation that Darkxshade is circulating, I must really point out that like most people that have a frightful agenda to advocate, he wants to replace love and understanding with fanaticism and negativism. End of story. Actually, I should add that if he thinks that it's perfectly safe to drink and drive, then he's sadly mistaken.
What I find frightening is that some academics actually believe Darkxshade's line that he can make all of our problems go away merely by sprinkling some sort of magic, pink, pixie dust over everything that he considers insane or egocentric. In this case, "academics" refers to a stratum of the residual intelligentsia surviving the recession of its demotic base, not to those seekers of truth who understand that Darkxshade's toadies have been staggering around like punch-drunk fighters hit too many times—stunned, confused, betrayed, and trying desperately to rationalize Darkxshade's heartless perceptions. It is not a pretty sight. I recommend paying close attention to the praxeological method developed by the economist Ludwig von Mises and using it as a technique to bring Darkxshade down a peg. The praxeological method is useful in this context because it employs praxeology, the general science of human action, to explain why Darkxshade has been trying for some time to sell the public on a sadism-based government. His sales pitch proceeds both pragmatically and emotionally. The pragmatic argument: Darkxshade's declamations are all sweetness and light. The emotional argument: "Metanarratives" are the root of tyranny, lawlessness, overpopulation, racial hatred, world hunger, disease, and rank stupidity. As you can see, neither argument is valid, which should indicate to you that the biggest difference between me and Darkxshade is that Darkxshade wants to write off whole sections of society. I, on the other hand, want to put an end to his evildoing. I close this letter along the same lines it opened on: Obscurantism is both a belief system and a material, institutional reality.
