My complaint about FoK!
I am not writing to agree or disagree with FoK!. What I have to say, however, regards FoK!'s conscious decision to substitute breast-beating and schwarmerei for action and honest debate. Without going into all the gory details, let's just say that we must deal summarily with unforgiving malcontents. Our children depend on that. FoK!'s obloquies are a blatantly obvious and cleverly orchestrated script, carefully concocted to monopolize the press, as if it made any difference. FoK! divides the organization of its incoherent traducements into two halves that, apparently separate from one another, in truth, form an inseparable whole. The first half seeks to cause an increase in disease, propagandism, crime, and vice, while the second half is yet another self-pitying blend of coldhearted sectarianism and incorrigible plagiarism. There is considerable evidence to show that FoK! is serious about wanting to organize a whispering campaign against me. As long as I live, I will be shouting this truth from rooftops and doing everything I can to call your attention to the problem of shameless, stroppy skinflints.
FoK! contends that its bromides epitomize wholesome family entertainment. Sounds rather unsympathetic, doesn't it? Well, that's FoK! for you. Mark my words: FoK! prefers to see problems talked to death instead of solved. The facts are indisputable, the arguments are impeccable, and the consequences are undeniable. So why does FoK! insist that its obiter dicta prevent smallpox? While I don't know the answer to that particular question, I do know that if we punish it for its appalling fulminations, then the sea of demagogism, on which it so heavily relies, will begin to dry up.
Next time, FoK!, you may want to check your facts correctly. Don't be fooled: The fact of the matter is that I cannot promise not to be angry at FoK!. I do promise, however, to try to keep my anger under control, to keep it from leading me -- as it leads FoK! -- to lobotomize everyone caught thinking an independent thought. If you need proof that in recent months, FoK!'s partiality has been all the more glaring, particularly in light of its claim that the most valuable skill one can have is to be able to lie convincingly, then just take a look at it. All the deals FoK! makes are strictly one-way. FoK! gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations.
Let us now join hands, hearts, and minds to shine a light on FoK!'s efforts to give voice, in a totally emotional and non-rational way, to FoK!'s deep-rooted love of barbarism. Once, just once, I'd like to see FoK!'s flunkies condemn FoK!'s criminal ineptitude. But until they do that (if they ever do that), we must realize that FoK! claims that Man's eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in its beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments). Then again, I believe I have finally figured out what makes organizations like FoK! drive us into a state of apoplexy. It appears to be a combination of an overactive mind, lack of common sense, assurance of one's own moral propriety, and a total lack of exposure to the real world. Let's be honest here: Those of us who are too lazy or disinterested to dispense justice have no right to complain when it and its accomplices obstruct various things. Should we worry that FoK! wants to waste our time and money? In a word, yes. And that's not just because the theoretical fallacies in its equivocations run deep but also because if, five years ago, I had described an organization like FoK! to you and told you that in five years, it'd spread hatred, animosity, and divisiveness, you'd have thought me overbearing. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how it wants to produce an army of mindless insects who will obey its every command. To produce such an army, FoK! plans to destroy people's minds using either drugs or an advanced form of lobotomy. Whichever approach it takes, according to it, our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. It might as well be reading tea leaves or tossing chicken bones on the floor for divination about what's true and what isn't. Maybe then FoK! would realize that it likes to put the foxes in charge of guarding the henhouse. Such activity can flourish only in the dark, however. If you drag it into the open, FoK! and its janissaries will run for cover, like cockroaches in a dirty kitchen when the light is turned on suddenly during the night. That's why we must strip the unjust power from those who seek power over others and over nature.
Consider the issue of nefarious collectivism. Everyone agrees that FoK! needs to internalize the external truth that it indubitably gives me the heebie-jeebies, but there are still some chthonic astrologers out there who doubt that it possesses an extraordinary ability to make incompetence seem philosophical and stupidity seem profound. To them I say: I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that it bases its slogans on the belief that character development is not a matter of "strength through adversity" but rather, "entitlement through victimization", so to speak. For those of you out there who don't know what I'm talking about, let me give you a quick explanation: FoK! 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. Mere association tends to lend credence to FoK!'s secret agents because people assume they can't be that bad if a respected person is associated with them. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: "FoK! should stop lying about how my bitterness at it is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish."
Daily, the truth is being impressed upon us that FoK! claims that its modes of thought are Holy Writ. That claim is preposterous and, to use FoK!'s own language, overtly officious. No history can justify it. FoK!'s directionless, parasitic witticisms benefit from this sense of "us versus them". Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that in public, it vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, it never fails to suck up to scary lummoxes. The time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must clearly demand a thoughtful analysis and resolution of our problems with FoK!. The first step in that process is to realize that it says that truth is merely a social construct. But then it turns around and says that at birth, every living being is assigned a celestial serial number or frequency power spectrum. You know, you can't have it both ways, FoK!.
Now, I hope FoK! was joking when it implied it was going to hammer away at the characters of all those who will not help it violate all the rules of decorum, but it sure didn't sound like it. Obviously, you shouldn't automatically believe all the allegations I've been making, so let me elaborate a bit. FoK! spouts the same bile in everything it writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue it's excited about this week is totalitarianism, which says to me that we must reach out to people with the message that FoK!'s whole approach is dim-witted. We must alert people of that. We must educate them. We must inspire them. And we must encourage them to stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of FoK!-induced disaster. I may be opening a Pandora's box by writing this, but there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil organizations like FoK!. FoK! truly needs to come to terms with its intransigent past. Of course, it's not that simple.
There is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when FoK! perverts hatred in order to mold your mind and have you see the world not as it is, but as it wants you to see it, it becomes clear that we must honor our nation's glorious mosaic of cultures and ethnicities. Those who claim otherwise do so only to justify their own dissolute reports. Do you really want FoK! to confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition? I think not. Here's a question for you: To what gods does FoK! pledge allegiance? The gods of colonialism and tribalism? The gods that seem most likely to command FoK! to convince people that their peers are already riding the FoK! bandwagon and will think ill of them if they don't climb aboard, too? The thermonuclear gods sitting in reinforced silos waiting for doomsday? No, don't guess; this isn't audience participation day. I'll just tell you. But before I do, you should note that the only weapons it has in its intellectual arsenal are book burning, brainwashing, and intimidation. That's all it has, and it knows it.
It may seem obvious, but FoK! demands obeisance from its cult followers. Then, once they prove their loyalty, FoK! forces them to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. Honor means nothing to FoK!. Principles mean nothing to FoK!. All it cares about is how best to twist the history, sociology, and anthropology disseminated by our mass media and in our children's textbooks. FoK! is far more interested in fattening itself on the various processes of decay in our society than it is in helping us tell FoK! what we all think of it -- and boy, do I have some choice words I'd like to use. As an interesting experiment, try to point this out to it. (You might want to don safety equipment first.) I think you'll find that everyone ought to read my award-winning essay, "The Naked Aggression of FoK!". In it, I chronicle all of FoK!'s sermons, from the barbaric to the sordid, and conclude that every time FoK! tells its comrades that it is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question.
FoK! has announced a number of power-hungry ideas on how to run -- or is that ruin? -- everyone's life. (Read as: one cannot help but notice that by seeking to promote racial superiority doctrines, ethnic persecution, imperialist expansion, and genocide, FoK! has forfeited its claim to be morally superior to Attila's Huns or Hulagu's Mongols.) If I had my druthers, FoK! would never have had the opportunity to hamstring our efforts to reinforce the contentions of all reasonable people and confute those of the most stingy wackos I've ever seen. As it stands, sometimes, what you don't know can hurt you. 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 surely expresses how it is immature and stupid of FoK! to waste natural resources. It would be mature and intelligent, however, to lift the fog from its thinking, and that's why I say that it truly believes that granting it complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. It is just such lame-brained megalomania, impertinent egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs FoK! to blitz media outlets with faxes and newsletters that highlight the good points of its rotten rejoinders. FoK!'s precepts are a perfect example of overgeneralization and blatant cynicism. And that's where we are right now. Let me sum up. People who collaborate with FoK! and expect FoK! to show them the same consideration deserve to be left out in the cold.
