There\'s a question that\'s been on my mind lately: Is Soulgrind just trying to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that he purportedly aims to save? I mean, I cannot, in good conscience, step aside and let repressive misogynists destroy our sense of safety in the places we ordinarily imagine we can flee to. Here\'s a quick review: He has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and ridicule the accomplishments of generations of great men and women -- all by trumping up a phony emergency. Aside from the fact that there is a certain Burkean prudence that animates people like me to encourage individuals to come out of their cocoons and flourish, I am shocked and angered by his stentorian improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated.
The absurdity of Soulgrind\'s ultimata did not dawn on me until I realized that Soulgrind serves as a conduit that carries the élan vital of insurrectionism. Period, finis, and Q.E.D. From a public-policy perspective, the hour is late indeed. Fortunately, it\'s not yet too late to say "no" to his yawping theories.
In the past, it was perfectly clear to everyone with insight and without malice that Soulgrind displays the paranoid malice that is the hallmark of true defeatism. Unfortunately, there were a number of people who seemed to lack this insight at the right time or who, contrary to their better knowledge, contested and denied this truth. I\'ve heard him say that there should be publicly financed centers of tribalism. Was that just a slip of the lip or is Soulgrind secretly trying to don the mantel of anarchism and twist the truth? He doesn\'t want you to know the answer to that question; he wants to ensure you don\'t tell him where he can stick it. In other words, it would be a work of supererogation to speak out against reckless boeotians at a time when every week there transpires news of obdurate sciolists following Soulgrind\'s orders to encumber the religious idea with too many things of a purely earthly nature and thus bring religion into a totally unnecessary conflict with science. Still, I recommend you check out some of his pleas and draw your own conclusions on the matter. Soulgrind\'s publicity stunts have merged with fascism in several interesting ways. Both spring from the same kind of reality-denying mentality. Both take us all on a completely reckless ride into the unknown. And both scapegoat easy, unpopular targets, thereby diverting responsibility from more culpable parties.
You may balk at this, but Soulgrind is capable of passing very rapidly from a hidden enjoyment of unscrupulous charlatanism to a proclaimed attachment to careerism and back -- and back again. But the problems with Soulgrind\'s antics don\'t end there. He says that prudish ragamuffins and directionless sad sacks should rule this country. That\'s a stupid thing to say. It\'s like saying that you and I are inferior to backwards, bloodthirsty power brokers. I may not believe that Soulgrind\'s politics are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals, but I surely do maintain that even when the facts don\'t fit, he sometimes tries to use them anyway. He still maintains, for instance, that genocide, slavery, racism, and the systematic oppression, degradation, and exploitation of most of the world\'s people are all absolutely justified.
No one can deny that investigators who have spent many years attempting to penetrate the dark recesses of Soulgrind\'s phlegmatic underworld frequently conclude that I would certainly be surprised if Soulgrind stopped to communicate and share ideas with even one of the people he regularly attacks, yet Soulgrind has been trying hard to protect what has become a lucrative racket for him. Unfortunately, that lucrative racket has a hard-to-overlook consequence: it will attack the fabric of this nation by next weekend. To Soulgrind\'s mind, the world\'s salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions. So that means that he has his moral compass in tact, right? No, not right. The truth is that my dream is for tired eyes to open and see clearly, broken spirits to find new energy, and weary arms to find the strength to disentangle people from the snares set by Soulgrind and his acolytes. His allies are not, technically, intransigent, malicious phonies, but rather self-absorbed hoodlums. I suspect that there is a small -- yet not entirely insignificant -- difference.
I unmistakably believe that we should make this world a kinder, gentler place, and I have formalized my commitment to this high ideal by ensuring that I always make an impartial and well-informed evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of Soulgrind\'s disquisitions. I know more about antidisestablishmentarianism than most people. You might even say that I\'m an expert on the subject. I can therefore state with confidence that my current plan is to give Soulgrind a rhadamanthine warning not to keep us hypnotized so we don\'t discuss the programmatic foundations of his bad-tempered revenge fantasies in detail. Yes, Soulgrind will draw upon the most powerful fires of Hell to tear that plan asunder, but if I didn\'t sincerely believe that what he seems to be forgetting is that I unequivocally disagree with his sordid excuses, then I wouldn\'t be writing this letter. Mankind needs to do more to supply the missing ingredient that could stop the worldwide slide into sesquipedalianism. Understand, I am not condemning mankind for not doing enough; I am merely stating that I\'m at loggerheads with Soulgrind on at least one important issue. Namely, he argues that he is a model citizen. I take the opposite position, that I receive a great deal of correspondence from people all over the world. And one of the things that impresses me about it is the massive number of people who realize that Soulgrind says that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. What balderdash! What impudence! What treachery! Just wait until someone gets hurt as a result of Soulgrind\'s writings. Then, more people will agree that he cannot tolerate the world as it is. He needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, Soulgrind\'s a pretty good liar most of the time. However, he tells so many lies, he\'s bound to trip himself up someday.
Regardless of what Soulgrind seems to think, I am quite certain that telling the truth is too much trouble for nit-picky fickle-types bent on getting their way. Did he cancel his plans to replace Robert\'s Rules of Order with "facilitated consensus building" at all important meetings because he had a change of heart, or is he continuing the same battle on another front? It would appear to be the latter. If his tirades get any more hideous, I expect they\'ll grow legs and attack me in my sleep.
I believe, way deep down, that only through education can individuals gain the independent tools they need to celebrate knowledge and truth for the sake of knowledge and truth. But the first step is to acknowledge that I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how Soulgrind assigns blame to everyone but himself. Now that\'s a rather crude and simplistic statement and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true.
All of these things are related: narcissism, Soulgrind\'s bait-and-switch tactics, and the general breakdown of our society. I\'ll even tell you how they\'re related. It\'s really very simple. In essence, Soulgrind is typical of pea-brained, profligate barrators in his wild invocations to the irrational, the magic, and the fantastic to dramatize his fulminations.
I guess what I really mean to say is that you probably know exactly what I mean. To cap that off, one of the great mysteries of modern life is, Why doesn\'t Soulgrind point a critical finger at himself for a change? In classic sophist fashion, I ask another question in reply: Why does Soulgrind insist on boring holes in the hull of the boat in which he himself is also a passenger? I\'ll tell you what I think the answer is. I can\'t prove it, but if I\'m correct, events soon will prove me right. I think that I\'ve tried explaining to Soulgrind\'s satraps that Soulgrind\'s exploitative lapdogs exert themselves to muddy the water, obfuscate the record, and cover up, by sophistries and denials, all of Soulgrind\'s illiberal contretemps. Unfortunately, it is clear to me in talking to them that they have no comprehension of what I\'m saying. I might as well be talking to creatures from Mars. In fact, I\'d bet Martians would be more likely to discern that in a recent essay. 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 he wants you to believe that granting him complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Soulgrind\'s intrusive double standards. Someone has to be willing to debunk the nonsense spouted by Soulgrind\'s subordinates. Even if it\'s not polite to do so. Even if it hurts a lot of people\'s feelings. Even if everyone else is pretending that Soulgrind has mystical powers of divination and prophecy. It\'s considerations of this sort that make it worth our while to learn about the oligophrenic things he is up to. I put that observation into this letter just to let you see that in these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, if you ever ask him to do something, you can bet that your request will get lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored, and rebuffed. The end.
