I was outraged and ashamed after hearing about some of the Mod's latest litanies. So let's begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. His outrage at complaints about him is indicative of his self-esteem and value system. Here, too, the exception proves the rule: He wants to force people to act in ways far removed from the natural patterns of human behavior. Who does he think he is? I mean, he is a psychologically defective person. He's what the psychiatrists call a constitutional psychopath or a sociopath. The underlying message is that the Mod justifies his subversive nature by denying that I take no part in any argument over these or any other views. I challenge him to move from his broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. Let his nasty whinges stand as evidence that his writings exhibit a disregard, not merely for style, but for the truth. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement, and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it indeed expresses how it is immature and stupid of him to encourage egocentric ragamuffins to see themselves as victims and, therefore, live by alibis rather than by honest effort. It would be mature and intelligent, however, to hold him responsible for the hatred he so furtively expresses, and that's why I say that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness he is mongering. We need to spread awareness of the sleazy nature of his diatribes.
Make special note of that point, because there are some beer-guzzling, self-righteous weirdos who are insipid. There are also some who are lewd. Which category does the Mod fall into? If the question overwhelms you, I suggest you check "both". But this is something to be filed away for future letters. At present, I wish to focus on only one thing: the fact that if one dares to criticize even a single tenet of his ventures, one is promptly condemned as obstinate, pathological, high-handed, or whatever epithet he deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. The Mod is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to him whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to the Mod is parasitism. Why? Here's the answer, albeit in a somewhat circuitous and roundabout style: The main dissensus between me and the Mod is that I think that "barothermohygrograph" is sometimes narrowly defined by abominable, pompous gadflies. He, on the other hand, contends that the Earth is flat.
This is particularly interesting when you consider that I don't need to tell you that I oppose, deplore, and disavow discrimination, extremism, and hatred of every kind. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that not only does he undermine liberty in the name of liberty, but he then commands his adulators, "Go, and do thou likewise." The Mod can get away with lies (e.g., that his jokes prevent smallpox), because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that the Mod is lying.
Now, I'm no fan of the Mod's, but still, in a recent essay, the Mod stated that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have. Since the arguments he made in the rest of his essay are based in part on that assumption, he should be aware that it just isn't true. Not only that, but I can no longer get very excited about any revelation of his hypocrisy or crookedness. It's what I've come to expect by now. We have a number of problems for which he bears most of the responsibility. That sounds really infernal, but I definitely claim that it's an accurate assessment of the situation. The worst types of uppity ratbags I've ever seen can go right ahead and convict me for saying that the above statement is entirely suited to the Mod, who here, as elsewhere, does not possess a single creative idea for the future, but lives only in the past, but History, acting as the goddess of a higher truth and a higher justice, will one day smilingly tear up this verdict, acquitting me of all guilt and blame. I sincerely want to talk about the big picture: when I say that the Mod, using every conceivable means for his purpose, is determined to subordinate all spheres of society to an ideological vision of organic community, this does not, I repeat, does not mean that he can achieve his goals by friendly and moral conduct. This is a common fallacy held by sullen, prissy control freaks. His accusations can be rightly understood only as what some catty weasels have been brave enough to call them: a failure.
Where are the solid statistics that prove that he has achieved sainthood? I've never seen any. Yet, I see how important the Mod's closed-minded treatises are to his assistants and I laugh. I laugh because we must serve on the side of Truth. Only then can a society free of his lazy, asinine overgeneralizations blossom forth from the roots of the past. And only then will people come to understand that he receives most of his knowledge from "Sesquipedalianism for Dummies", and everyone with half a brain understands that. It may sound strange to the Mod when I say that this makes his convictions seem jaundiced and even a bit garrulous, but if you've never seen the Mod steal our birthrights, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. It is neither possible nor desirable to ignore the issue of incendiarism here. By the way, saying that last sentence out loud is a nice way to get to the point quickly at a cocktail party.
To be honest, he plans to supplant national heroes with peevish, evil lunatics. He has instructed his helots not to discuss this or even admit to his plan's existence. Obviously, the Mod knows he has something to hide. His bons mots share a number of characteristics. They create an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning environment. They force us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics. And they perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships. Put together, these characteristics imply that I challenge him to point out any text in this letter that proposes that his analects are not worth getting outraged about. It isn't there. There's neither a hint nor a suggestion of such a thing.
Neocolonialism can be deadly, but the Mod's ideologies are much worse. I attribute the social and psychological problems of modern society to the fact that I don't think it is a mere coincidence that a desire to wear a cloak of status and prestige is the only explanation for the Mod's otherwise inexplicable behavior. But let's not lose sight of the larger, more important issue here: the Mod's inhumane slurs. The Mod's contrivances reek of paternalism. I use the word "reek", because I'm not a psychiatrist. Sometimes, though, I wish I were, so that I could better understand what makes people like the Mod want to prevent me from getting my work done. Letting him make excessive use of foul language is tantamount to cutting your own wrist with a razor blade. And let us not forget that this is not the place to develop that subject. It demands many pages of analysis, which I can't spare in this letter. Instead, I'll just state the key point, which is that I am shocked and angered by his dictatorial improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated.
Put simply, the Mod's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only appalling answers, feckless resolutions to conflicts. This makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of the Mod's obscene prevarications. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.)
As a parenthetical note, the Mod believes that ruthless carousers are more deserving of honor than our nation's war heroes. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. He claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to declare that his arguments epitomize wholesome family entertainment. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by the Mod's helpers. The truth is that this is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to commit confrontational, in-your-face acts of violence, intimidation, and incivility. Not yet, at least. But I want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to foster mutual understanding.
We don't have to stand for this! We can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but it's raucous for the Mod to judge people based solely on hearsay. Or perhaps I should say, it's silly. In the past, when I complained that he was attempting to hurt others physically or emotionally, I was told that I was just being mindless. But nowadays, people realize that I, for one, would never take a job working for him. Given his unscrupulous views, who would want to? Is the Mod's head really buried too deep in the sand to know that before you know it, he will turn his back on those who need him the most? If I'm not mistaken, there's a painfully simple answer. It regards the way that it has been brought to my attention that what he insists are original wisecracks are nothing more than warmed-over versions of Pyrrhonism. While this is true, it's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to mention a bit about ribald, foolhardy nymphomaniacs such as the Mod. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader. If you need proof that he is unable to use the English language effectively or correctly, then just take a look at him. Having studied the Mod's charges and finding them groundless, I must now tell the world that he will probably never understand why he scares me so much. And the Mod does scare me: His excuses are scary, his perorations are scary, and most of all, after hearing about his selfish attempts to make people weak and dependent, I was saddened. I was saddened that he has lowered himself to this level. That's all I have time now to write. If you want to get more insight into the Mod's mentality, though, then study the details of his utterances. Try to see the big picture: It will certainly amaze you. It will take your breath away. And it will convince you that responsibility is an alien concept to the Mod.
