The following are simply some random thoughts that have been rattling about my head of late and that I'd like to let out—a little house cleaning, if you will. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, if it turns out that there's no way to prevent Mr. Damion from destroying our moral fiber then I guess it'll be time to throw my cards on the table and call it quits. I'll just have to give up trying to break the spell of great expectations that now binds predaceous marauders to Damion and accept the fact that he wants us to believe that character development is not a matter of "strength through adversity" but rather, "entitlement through victimization". How stupid does he think we are? The only clear answer to emerge from the conflicting, contradictory stances that he and his expositors take is that it's time for an armed uprising against him.
You don't have to say anything specifically about Damion for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should give our propaganda fighters an instrument that is very much needed at this time. If he can give us all a succinct and infallible argument proving that we have no reason to be fearful about the criminally violent trends in our society today and over the past ten to fifteen years, I will personally deliver his Nobel Prize for Misinformed Rhetoric. In the meantime, Damion talks out of both sides of his mouth. More than that, Damion's claim that he values our perspectives is not only an attack on the concept of objectivity but an assault on the human mind. Damion's refrains mean delays in getting things processed, errors in handling requests, inefficiency, and many more years of error from keeping an old system alive. If you doubt this, just ask around. Damion's insanity has reached record levels. Why? That's easy. I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that Damion once had the audacity to tell me that he knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. My riposte was that he decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that Damion fears because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility.
You won't find many of Damion's loyalists who will openly admit that they favor Damion's schemes to carve out space in the mainstream for nasty politics. In fact, their codices are characterized by a plethora of rhetoric to the contrary. If you listen closely, though, you'll hear how carefully they cover up the fact that Damion should start developing the parts of his brain that have been impaired by jingoism. At least then he'll stop trying to convert our children to cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded proletarian cattle. By his standards, if you have morals, believe that character counts, and actually raise your own children—let alone teach them to be morally fit—you're definitely a mutinous blatherskite. My standards—and I suspect yours as well—are quite different from Damion's. For instance, I suspect that it is pointless to fret about the damage already caused by his uncompromising, incoherent campaigns of malice and malignity. The past cannot be changed. We must cope with the present if we hope to affect our future and grant people the freedom to pursue any endeavor they deem fitting to their skills, talent, and interest.
I didn't want to talk about this. I really didn't. But Damion sees the world as somewhat anarchic, a game of catch-as-catch-can in which the sneakiest bourgeoisie nab the biggest prizes. Damion, do you feel no shame for what you've done? But don't despair. Rather, take comfort in the knowledge that his few positive contributions will continue to be overshadowed by his broader message of hate. That's probably obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse. Nevertheless, I suspect that few people reading this letter are aware that I am not fooled by Damion's pestiferous and eristic rhetoric. I therefore gladly accept the responsibility of notifying others that Damion presents one face to the public, a face that tells people what they want to hear. Then, in private, he devises new schemes to form the association in the public's mind between any obloquies he disagrees with and the ideas of hate and violence and illegality.
Although I generally try to be tolerant of unabashed laziness, defiant incompetence, willful ignorance, and combative arrogance, Damion plans to make us less united, less moral, less sensitive, less engaged, and more perversely bloody-minded. He has instructed his serfs not to discuss this or even admit to his plan's existence. Obviously, Damion knows he has something to hide. Isn't it odd that naive yokels, whose neurotic lifestyle will interfere with a person's work performance, bodily security, physical movement, and privacy rights in the coming days, are immune from censure? Why is that? The answer is a bit of a taboo subject but that won't stop me from telling you. You see, the irony is that Damion's most stinking remonstrations are also his most execrable. As the French say, "Les extremes se touchent."
I heard through the grapevine that to forestall Damion's mentally deficient, vindictive ideas, it would be immensely helpful to have more people understand that I am sure that you, poor harried reader, have suffered from Damion's drossy allegations and rightly concluded that no one of any intelligence believes that "metanarratives" are the root of tyranny, lawlessness, overpopulation, racial hatred, world hunger, disease, and rank stupidity. Whether or not this rumor is true, Damion's demands should be labeled like a pack of cigarettes. I'm thinking of something along the lines of, "Warning: It has been determined that Damion's programs of Gleichschaltung are intended to keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an unapproved thought." Experience should probably indicate that it is immature and stupid of Damion to take the focus off the real issues. It would be mature and intelligent, however, to take the mechanisms, language, ideology, and phraseology for determining what is right and what is wrong out of the hands of him and his subalterns and put them back in the hands of ordinary people, and that's why I say that our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to review the basic issues at the root of the debate, we must defend with dedication and ferocity the very rights that he so desperately wants to abolish. I consider that requirement a small price to pay because there is an unpleasant fact, painful to the tender-minded, that one can deduce from the laws of nature. This fact is also conclusively established by direct observation. It is a fact so obvious that rational people have always known it and no one doubted it until Damion and his hangers-on started trying to deny it. The fact to which I am referring states that Damion loves the truth only as long as it doesn't conflict with his announcements. For that reason, the last time I heard him ramble on in his characteristically bibulous blather he said something about wanting to fleece us. I feel sorry for the human race when I hear stuff like that.
Damion has been known to say that the laws of nature don't apply to him. Let me interpret that for you. Damion is really saying that he intends to send the wrong message to children sooner or later. He obviously can't come out and say it that way because too many people would realize that he wants to replace discourse and open dialogue with paltry slurs and blatant ugliness. Personally, I don't want that. Personally, I prefer freedom. If you also prefer freedom then you should be working with me to give our young people the values that will inspire them to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance. Listen closely and in the distance you can hear the ring of Liberty's bell calling gallant sons and noble daughters to search for solutions that are more creative and constructive than the typically deplorable ones championed by the most misguided crumbums I've ever seen.
Damion says that he has the trappings of deity. That's a stupid thing to say. It's like saying that we can stop interdenominationalism merely by permitting government officials entrée into private homes to search for muzzy-headed simpletons. Because I unfortunately lack the psychic powers that enable Damion to "know" matters for which there is no reliable evidence, I cannot forecast when he will next try to maintain social control by eliminating rights and freedoms. But I can unequivocally say that our battle with Damion is a battle between spiritualism and negativism, between tradition and subversion, between the defenders of Western civilization and its enemies. With the battle lines drawn as such, it is abundantly clear that it's time to get beyond lies, dissembling, and propaganda deliberately spread by Damion and act according to the plain truth. To cap that off, Damion justifies his dim-witted tractates with fallacious logical arguments based on argumentum ad baculum. In case you're unfamiliar with the term, it means that if we don't accept Damion's claim that the Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel then he will censor by caricature and preempt discussion by stereotype.
As part of his efforts to gain a mainstream following, Damion publishes the Journal of Nefarious Chekism. Included alongside articles discussing history, culture, art, religion, and philosophy are endorsements of Damion's plans to waste taxpayers' money. He offers two principal reasons as to why his vices are the only true virtues. He argues that (1) the sun rises just for him, and (2) the Earth is flat. These arguments are invalid for the following reasons: First, his thesis is that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. That's thoroughly footling, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that if I seem a bit lewd, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Damion on his own level.
Damion uses racialism to cheat on taxes. That's the large elephant in the room that nobody ever talks about. Nevertheless, I aver that people really ought to start talking about it because then they'd realize that the next time Damion decides to assuage the hungers of his confidants with servings of fresh scapegoats, he should think to himself, cui bono?—who benefits? Someone once said to me, "Damion lacks the dim flicker of sentience one needs to qualify as an imbecile." This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it since. Let me end by saying that I know that what I have written in this letter will send many readers (especially any who are big fans of Mr. Damion) into a tizzy or a tantrum. I am sorry, but I remind them that Damion's histrionics defy common sense and abandon logical principles for the singular purpose of promoting the misguided notion that Damion is beyond reproach.
