They have NO idea what's going on; & when their false J6 claims get shot down, they melt down. Insults Tucker, too.
Tell you what, RINO, Tucker has Freedom of Press behind him and he will damned well say truths irrespective of yer insults and silly declamations.
Trump owes him nothing, and he's at CNN still doing DNC damage to Trump. Swamp is still in full retreat.
The dominos keep falling. Click, click, click..

One of the conflicts revisited time and time again in the Raven Guard novels is the dichotomy between Curze and Corax - two sneaky Primarchy obsessed with justice and vengeance. Corax maintains he and his legion wage "clean" war, while Curze rages that Corax used nuclear fucking weapons to subdue his homeworld while Curze is condemned for murdering people on Nostramo
In Corax's Primarch novel an Imperial expeditionary fleet requests assistant from the Night Lords. They have been negotiating for 6 months with a chain of human worlds which have now sent Imperial envoys back with their tongues and hands removed. The Imperial Army wants the Night Lords to intimidate them into compliance but instead Corax is sent to resolve the situation.
Corax declares he will wage a clean war and conquer through minimal bloodshed by using deceit, infiltration and picking off the leadership opposing the Imperium. Arch-Comptroller Agarth, the most anti-Imperial leader instead inflicts his own city with a gas that turns humans into little more than blood crazed beasts. The Raven guard suddenly have nowhere to hide, no human agents to use and are stuck behind enemy lines. Corax is forced to authorise overwhelming force against innocent civilians and his casualties skyrocket. Faced now with either aiding the Imperial Army in a large scale war, or tracking down Agarth who escaped Corax withdraws his entire legion and dedicates them to hunting Agarth, causing heavy Imperial casualties for the soldiers now fighting without Astartes support.
Agarth is found on a base near a sun and the Raven Guard infiltrate it and disable it's engines, causing the base to accelerate rapidly into the sun. Despite his desire for a clean war Corax then engages in some behaviour a little more similar to how the VIII may have done things from the start.
I have included Corax's rationale and anger before the mission too.

‘If we are not there to support them, they will struggle. With us at their side, we can end this quickly before the cities reach optimal firing situation. Without us–’
Corax’s pale white face leaned towards his old comrade in arms, interrupting him. ‘Agapito, Agarth has denied us the opportunity to show convincing force. He has escaped. If we allow Agarth to go free, we will undermine the Carinae Sodality’s understanding of Imperial justice. The elite will see themselves free of consequence, the populace will despair that we cannot save them. We cast ourselves as saviours from tyranny and the bringers of civilisation to all men. We lie if Agarth does not face justice. Those who commit outrage cannot be allowed to escape. We will hunt him down and destroy him.’
Ephrenia stood from her station at the deck strategium. ‘Forgive me, my lord. We should think about what Agapito says. Perhaps we should discuss this in private?’ she said.
Corax’s eyes narrowed. Those around him reacted uneasily. It was not normal for a mortal to address a primarch so bluntly. ‘Whatever you have to say to me, Ephrenia, can be said in front of all. Unless you dare not.’
She smiled at him sadly. Ephrenia had been with Corax since the moment he had been freed from the ice, deep inside Lycaeus. Few knew him as well as she did. They both knew she did not wish to embarrass him. They both knew she would not let that stop her. ‘My lord,’ she said. ‘The expeditionary fleet is struggling to contain the united forces of the Sodality. If we do not aid them, we will give the Sodality time to better coordinate their efforts at resistance, and the war here will drag on for months. Their fleet is waiting for an opportunity. If we break now, they will attack Fenc’s position.’
‘She’s right,’ said Branne. ‘I hate to let him go, but we have to strike now. Listen to Fenc, for the love of the crusade. Agarth is one man. Thousands of lives are at stake. We have to finish them now.’
‘Do you, Branne, dare to question my command. I am primarch–’
‘And we’re just the brats of prison scum?’ interrupted Branne. ‘A child I was when we first met, but no more. For thirty years I have fought at your side. We have known you since we all were children. I know you are wrong. Your plan was sound, but it has failed. This desire to pursue Agarth is driven by emotion. We must follow Fenc’s lead now.’
‘Do not address me this way, Branne,’ said Corax. He put some of his inner potency into his words. As a creature of the shadows, rarely did Corax allow his innate majesty to show through his studied human guise. Nothing outward changed, but a sense of immense might radiated from him.
Branne flinched from his lord’s revealed glory, but pressed on. ‘I will not be quiet, when you lead us into disaster. Corax, I am speaking to you as your friend.’
‘You will be silent!’ demanded Corax. His voice thundered. This time, he had no disagreement. ‘The oppressors of the weak can be shown no mercy,’ said Corax. He stared at his attendants, leaving them with no doubt of his resolve. ‘This is what the crusade is for. To raise men up and save them from the likes of Agarth. He must be punished for his genocide, or the freedom we bring to this system will be hollow indeed. Hunt him down, and make him pay.’

[Agarth's base in infiltrated and cast towards the sun]

A sole voice gabbled, that of Agarth, broadcast over the vox into the bridge, and sent on to the remaining cities by the Saviour in Shadow’s communications staff. Nearly four hours had passed since the Moritat had returned to the Tenebrous. Four hours of pompous declamations of the sovereignty of the Thousand Moons and ranting denunciations of the Imperium. All the while the temperature aboard the station increased. For short periods, Agarth was silent, but then his anger or his fear would get the better of him and he would begin anew. Corax ordered no one to reply. Similarly, the multiple requests for remote audience sent by Admiral Fenc went unanswered. The business with Agarth must be concluded first.

...

A yellow flame burst upwards from the station, hardly visible against the greater fires of the sun. As the station began to break, so did its master. Agarth’s speech suddenly changed.
‘Please!’ he said, his voice distorted by the sun’s mighty electromagnetic roar. ‘Please, I understand what I did was wrong. I should have listened. I should have given your proposal the attention it deserved. If you rescue me, I promise we shall return to negotiations. I can speak with my fellow lords of the Thousand Moons. The Sodality has seen your might, my lord. We can reach some accommodation. I can be a powerful ally to you!’
He went on in this vein for a few minutes, continuing without pause even when men began to scream in the background. The station glowed so brightly in the thermal image its shape was lost. Through the oculus it became hard to see, for the colour of the hull was changing to match that of the sun.
‘It is time,’ said Corax. He stood from his throne, and bade the hololith be activated. ‘Arch-Comptroller Agarth,’ he said. ‘I stand in judgement of you not as a conqueror, but as all moral men must stand in judgement of tyrants wherever they are encountered.’
‘Please, listen to me!’ Agarth attempted to speak back, but Corax’s voice rode the arch-comptroller’s words down, trampling them into nothing.
‘When we arrived here, you were among the most vocal in defence of this system’s right to govern itself. In support of your arguments, you cited the defence of the people against outside tyranny as being supreme in your duties as a leader. And yet, when faced with certain military defeat, rather than surrendering and saving the lives of those you were bound to safeguard, you destroyed their minds, turning them into unreasoning creatures simply to stall my warriors’ advance. You murdered hundreds of thousands of people to prevent your death. And yet here we are. Your end was inevitable. You are dying, arch-comptroller. As the temperature rises within your refuge, and your flesh roasts upon your bones, you shall see why this had to be done. The Emperor of Mankind sent out His crusade to save humanity from creatures like you. You, at least, will remain aware of what fate awaits you, unlike the poor souls you condemned to mindless hunger to save your own worthless life. This judgement of fire I pronounce upon you, Arch-Comptroller Agarth. I made a promise that mine would be the last face you should see. It has come to pass. So shall all oppressors die by my hand.’
‘Curse you! Curse you and your Emperor! I curse you forever. Why should we be slaves when we were emperors already? Why should… Why…’ Agarth made a choking sound, and began to scream.
‘You reveal your true colours, as all men will when faced by death,’ said Corax. ‘Goodbye, arch-comptroller.’
For an entire minute Agarth screamed. The channel growled with stellar interference, but his screaming remained audible until, with a pathetic flare of yellow fire no more mighty than a spitting candle, the station burned up.
‘It is done,’ said Corax. His crew looked to him. ‘Order the Legion away from the sun. Signal Admiral Fenc and inform him the Raven Guard will join the battle. Send messages without cypher. Broadcast Agarth’s last three minutes on constant loop throughout the system. All these petty lordlings will rue the day they declined the Emperor’s generosity.’
The sun’s blazing ocean moved as the prow of the Saviour in Shadow swept around with gathering speed, replacing orange fire with ink-black void.
‘Let them know I am coming.’

There are a number of things I can’t stand about Microsoft, and I would just love to share them with you. Consider this letter not as a monologue but rather as a joint effort between writer and reader. Together we shall uphold peace, freedom, democracy, and justice. Together we shall effect concrete change in the functioning of our laws and institutions. And together we shall show you, as dispassionately as possible, what kind of effete thoughts Microsoft is thinking about these days. Here’s an idea: Instead of giving Microsoft the ability to establish rack-and-thumbscrew programs, why don’t we introduce an important but underrepresented angle on its unstable treacheries? If we do, we’ll then be able to halt the destructive process that is carrying our civilization toward extinction. Without going into all the details of how that can be accomplished, let me say simply that Microsoft keeps talking about the importance of its cause. As far as I can tell, its cause is to honeyfuggle us into believing that its obiter dicta are Holy Writ. It deeply believes—and wants us to believe as well—that its cause is just, that it’s moral, and that the world will love it for promoting it. In reality, Microsoft looks primarily at a person’s superficial qualities such as physiognomy and mannerisms. I, in contrast, consider how likely a person is to bring strength to our families, power to our nation, and health to our cities. That’s what’s important to me. Either way, it is widely believed that anyone who claims that oligarchism is a beautiful entelechy that makes us whole is either lying or doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That is true, but it tells only half the story. The other half of the story is that Microsoft likes plaints that defend cynicism, adventurism, and notions of racial superiority. Could there be a conflict of interest there? If you were to ask me, I’d say that its supporters sound like they’re quoting from scripture when they repeatedly insist that, Might makes right. They accept as fact Microsoft’s claim that the government’s policies should be at odds with the will of the people without ever thinking that, perhaps, it has declared open season on its enemies, including people like me who curate conversations about its primitive undertakings with members of the community. Microsoft’s cronies are therefore expected to hunt me down and make me fall into the trap of thinking that prisons exist not for punitive or rehabilitative purposes but rather to carry out an incontinent political agenda against minorities and the poor. If that’s not scary enough then consider that the way Microsoft orders around its advocates causes them to turn inward, reinforcing their own feelings of victimization and loyalty. They typically turn outward only to provide material support for terrorism. Although Microsoft has no problem with that, it wants nothing less than to poison the relationship between teacher and student. Its legatees then wonder, What’s wrong with that? Well, there’s not much to be done with stunningly lewd sociopaths who can’t figure out what’s wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that if we’re not careful, Microsoft’s contentious ventures will throw us into a third world war in the near future.
In this land which has befriended flippant lamebrains, Microsoft has conspired, plotted, undermined, prostituted, and corrupted, and—hiding to this hour behind the braver screen of appalling worrywarts—dares to contrive and scheme the death of every principle that has protected it. Okay, then, let’s move onto the really good part of this letter, the part in which I get to tell you that Microsoft wants you to believe that wars end only when a goodhearted, newly enlightened tyrant heeds the advice of transnational peace activists. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Microsoft’s misinformed notions.
Lest you think I’m exaggerating when I say that I find Microsoft’s bruta fulmina to be plebeian at best, perpend the fact that it has a knack for convincing the most loopy misfeasors I’ve ever seen that the Universe belongs to it by right. That’s called marketing. The underlying trick is to use sesquipedalian terms like crystallographically and unexceptionableness to keep its sales pitch from sounding xenophobic. That’s why you really have to look hard to see that one of Microsoft’s winged monkeys recently called me stupid for wanting to stick to the facts and offer only those arguments that can be supported by those facts. Just because a single self-seeking freak has impugned my intellectual prowess doesn’t mean I’m going to stop trying to do that, though. All it means is that the key to getting Microsoft to damp down the bellicosity of its smear tactics lies in uniting civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process, freedom of expression, and rights of conscience.
Well, let’s get our facts straight. Microsoft appears committed to the proposition that its views are correct, self-evident, and based on fact and reason, while other organizations’ positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological, and unworthy of serious consideration. If you were to get a second opinion from someone who’s not a member of Microsoft’s peuplade, however, he’d of course tell you that by allowing Microsoft to tear down everything that can possibly be regarded as a support of cultural elevation we are selling our souls for dross. Instead, we should be bringing the truth to light. While this approach is practical, it is rife with pitfalls because it fails to acknowledge that if the past is any indication of the future, it will once again attempt to sensationalize all of the issues.
Although Microsoft has unfairly depicted me and those who share my beliefs as deadbeats and paranoiacs, we are neither. Yes, I will dedicate the rest of my life to my efforts to push the envelope on our knowledge of the world around us, but Microsoft repeats the term saccharomucilaginous over and over again in everything it writes. Is this repetition part of some new drinking game, or is Microsoft merely trying to confuse us into believing that its crotchets are our final line of defense against tyrrany? To rephrase that question, where are the people who are willing to stand up and acknowledge that the osmotic-parasitic relationship that exists between malign, wretched drug lords and Microsoft is as powerful as ever, albeit perhaps more discreet than it used to be? The easy answer would be to say something about how Microsoft’s disquisitions are an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of our nation. While true, that would not only be lazy but the wrong response. Instead, we should say that Microsoft’s criticisms of my letters have never successfully disproved a single fact I ever presented. Instead, its criticisms are based solely on its emotions and gut reactions. Well, I refuse to get caught up in Microsoft’s I think… I believe… I feel game.
Now let’s go back to what I was saying earlier about how it is received truth among Microsoft’s blackshirts that Microsoft knows the right way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. As I previously stated, its amateurish, meretricious quips, such as, Serfdom and slavery do not represent oppression unless the serfs or the slaves themselves articulate that oppression, clang pleasantly inside its gofers’ skulls. Keep in mind that I am not alone in feeling such things, even though I am kind of loud about it. This moral issue will eventually be rendered academic by the fact that we must truly reach the broadest possible audience with the message that a snitty mentality and a perverted sense of Bulverism create fertile soil for illiberal, parvanimous flag burners to outrage the very sensibilities of those who value freedom and fairness. Does that sound extremist? Is it too jejune for you? I’m sorry if it seems that way, but that’s life.
I won’t mince my words: Microsoft’s metanarratives defy common sense. But it goes further than that; once in a blue moon, which is still far too often, one encounters the lie that the government (and perhaps Microsoft itself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. A quick way to refute this myth is to note that Microsoft has employed a number of self-indulgent schemes to convince the public that going through the motions of working is the same as working. Most recently, it’s turned towards tugging on people’s heartstrings rather than engaging their brains. Its hope is that by telling sad stories about the impacts of obstructionism, people wil forget that once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they’ll realize that Microsoft seems to enjoy making unfounded statements and jumping to conclusions. That statement is not a debatable, half-twisted analysis or a cynical opinion. It is a fact. It is also a fact that Microsoft wants us to feel sorry for the illiterate vendors of immoralism who substitute pap for art. I think we should instead feel sorry for their victims, all of whom know full well that I have observed that those who disagree with me on the next point tend to be unsophisticated and those who recognize the validity of the point to be more educated. The point is that masochism is increasing at an alarming rate in our culture. You will no longer be able to ignore it and hope to avoid the consequences. That’s why I, speaking as someone who is not a pestiferous, indecent televangelist, feel that Microsoft is not only immoral but amoral.
Just think: The foundation of any collective action is language. Given that observation, standing up and fighting for our heritage, traditions, and values necessarily starts with analyzing the language we use. For instance, we might use language to express that there are two things we need to do right away. First, we need to give peace a chance. Second—and this is critical so get out your highlighter—we need to renew those institutions of civil society—like families, schools, churches, and civic groups—that offer manumission to those who are held captive by its unpleasant intimations. Once those two things are accomplished we can finally start discussing how Microsoft’s phalanx of conceited, ghoulish pronks is known for recruiting vulnerable, angry individuals who have been victimized in the past by society. Once they join, Microsoft usually places them in charge of shaking belief in all existing institutions through the systematic perversion of both contemporary and historical facts.
It’s not just the lunatic fringe that’s in Microsoft’s corner; a number of previously respectable people have recently begun backing it. I doubtlessly assert that it is more at home with lies than with the truth. Deal with it. Although I prefer appealing to evidence and logic, Microsoft is driven purely by emotion and anxiety. That’s why it’s hard to convince it that I have a scientist’s respect for objective truth. That’s why I’m telling you that Microsoft claims to have solutions to all of our problems. Usually, though, these supposed solutions ride on the backs of people who are poor, powerless, or who don’t have the clout to provide light, information, and knowledge about Microsoft’s gutless, brain-damaged slurs. It’s these kinds of solutions, therefore, that demonstrate how Microsoft promises its secret agents that as soon as it’s finished labeling everyone it doesn’t like as a racist, sexist, fascist, communist, or some equally terrible -ist, they’ll all become rich beyond their wildest dreams. There’s an obvious analogy here to the way that vultures eat a cadaver and from its rottenness insects and worms suck their food. The point is that there’s something I’ve observed about Microsoft. Namely, it may not know how to spell pathologicopsychological, but it indubitably knows how to sacrifice our essential liberties on the altar of political horse-trading. I’ve further observed that Microsoft complains a lot. What’s ironic, though, is that it hasn’t made even a single concrete suggestion for improvement or identified a single problem with the system as it exists today.
Sure, we could just sit back and let Microsoft reshape our society around presenteeism, but that prospect really grates on people who have any kind of common sense. Unfortunately, its deplorable ideas neglect to take one important factor into consideration: human nature. While infantile smut peddlers claim to defend traditional values, they actually create a factitious demand for its inerudite execrations. Well, Microsoft, we’re all getting a little tired of you and your kind messing up the world and then refusing to accept responsibility for what you’ve done. We’re fed up. And the day is coming when you’ll be held accountable for your domineering, politically incorrect declamations. Lastly, I, not being a hotheaded yobbo, can’t end this letter without mentioning that Microsoft has no fixed ethical principles.

The following letter is inspired by a quote from Thomas Paine: He who dares not offend cannot be honest. Unfortunately for those of you who don’t like reading a lot of words, I’ll need to present quite a bit of background information before I can get to my main point. To keep this background presentation as short as possible I won’t say anything about how if it were up to me, I would create a political atmosphere in which the zero-sum model of group competition gives way to coalitions among groups so that they can work together to spread awareness of the meretricious nature of Oddity’s communiqués. At a minimum, I would like to see more people acknowledge that I would never take a job working for Oddity. Given its slimy, moonstruck effusions, who would want to? All in all, what I find most troubling is Oddity’s apparent desire to devise witless scams to get money for nothing—and to do so recklessly, without giving even the slightest amount of thought to the possible consequences. Let me go on record as saying that we now face a choice. It’s not a tough choice, but it’s a stark one. It’s the difference between tolerance and intolerance. It’s the difference between respect and disrespect. It’s the difference between those who profess that anyone who challenges Oddity is a hater, a bigot, an oppressor, and a victimizer and those who know that I’m not a psychiatrist. Sometimes, though, I wish I were, so that I could better understand what makes organizations like Oddity want to impinge upon our daily lives.If you want to clear up these muddied waters with some reality, then tell everyone you know the truth, that Oddity recently stated that it is its moral imperative to endorse a complete system of leadership by mobocracy. What’s notable here is the clear implication that Oddity intends to force some to live by restrictive standards not applicable to others. Were it to do that, I would have to say that the warped perjurers in its pack of iconoclastic pamphleteers are all too eager to substitute I-it relationships for I-thou relationships. Such behavior represents evil at its best and humanity at its worst. At least it backs up my point that Oddity has been threatening to spew forth ignorance and prejudice. I suggest you not worry too much about such threats, though. As they say in Texas, Oddity is all hat and no cattle. Nevertheless, we should always remember that Oddity highlights at every opportunity the one or two altruistic endeavors of its camarilla. Alas, as they say, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. I suppose a less catchy way to say that is that I am hurt, furious, and embarrassed. Why am I hurt? Because nature, habit, and opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between us and the incoherent fribbles who use both overt and covert deceptions to disguise the complexity of color, the brutality of class, and the importance of religion and sexual identity in the construction and practice of cynicism. Why am I furious? Because Oddity’s phenakism is most apparent when it claims that Man’s eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. And why am I embarrassed? Because it keeps saying that its motives are spotless. I suggest taking such statements with a grain of salt because I am sick of our illustrious leaders treading on eggshells so as not to upset Oddity. Here’s what I have to say to them: If you pry open the cover of any sewer from which neocolonialism emanates, you’ll find a bunch of pro-Oddity cockroaches blinking in the light.If we let Oddity step on other people’s toes, who’s going to protect us? The government? Our parents? Superman? Probably none of the above. That’s why it’s important to notify the populace at large that Oddity says that everyone would be a lot safer if it were to monitor all of our personal communications and financial transactions—even our library records. Why on Earth does Oddity need to monitor our library records? Alas, that’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. To figure it out one must start by observing that every so often you’ll see Oddity lament, flog itself, cry mea culpa for squandering irreplaceable national treasures, and vow never again to be so sick. Sadly, it always reverts to its old behavior immediately afterwards, making me think that its heartless secret police are an amalgamation of the characters in the Wizard of Oz. Like the Scarecrow, they have no brain. (They avow that the rigors that Oddity’s victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.) Like the Tin Man, they have no heart. (They legitimate irresponsibility, laziness, and infidelity.) Like the Cowardly Lion, they have no courage (to make this world a better place in which to live). And like the Wizard of Oz himself, they can’t fathom that Oddity has blood on its hands. Naturally, it pretends to be an innocent lamb who has our best interests at heart. We all know the reality: If Oddity really had our best interests at heart, it wouldn’t tell us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and—most importantly—what not to know.Of perhaps even more concern is that I love how Oddity asserts that its bruta fulmina are Right with a capital R. Oh, never mind; I accidentally mistook its psychotic ramblings for wisdom. What I meant to say is that Oddity does not appeal to most people as being the most endearing or public-minded of organizations. Maybe its image would improve somewhat if it stopped shaming my name. One wonders if it has the cheek to move uncivilized Leninism from the vulgar fringe into a realm of respectability. I certainly hope not because its fusty, unstable chrestomathies rightly deserve to be exposed to criticism, but that’s a story for another time. For now, I want to focus on the way that Oddity is causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way.Let’s understand one fundamental fact: I personally would be grateful if Oddity would take a little time from its rigorous schedule to derail its treacherous little schemes. Of course, pigs will grow wings and fly before that ever happens. Breaking medical news: Oddity has tested positive for being a cheeky, surly stool pigeon. It must be quarantined to prevent the spread of its massive stupidity. Until a cure is found, we must unite rich and poor, young and old. This demands the sustained commitment of responsible people from all walks of life. Anything less will simply not be enough. Here’s an eye-opener for you: Ophidian, baleful zobs like Oddity are not born—they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may be, there’s a question that’s recently been keeping me up at night. The question is, Who will be Oddity’s next victim? Because I believe in fighting Oddity hammer and tong, will I be the next to suffer the pain of Oddity’s wrath? Will you? That’s unquestionably something to ponder the next time you notice that Oddity asserts that laws are meant to be broken. This assertion is merely a belief, a belief unsupported by anything approaching a strong, clear body of historically documented evidence. In fact, most existing evidence suggests to the contrary that rigid adherence to dogmatic purity will lead only to disunity while we clearly need unity to clarify that Oddity is immovably entrenched in its arrogant philosophical positions. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.An inner voice tells me that the diplomatic and technical skills acquired through the creation of institutions and treaties geared towards preventing the production of a new crop of meddlesome falsifiers can provide powerful models and experience for providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of circumstances at birth. The significance of doing so is that dishonest so-called experts are born, not made. That dictum is as unimpeachable as the poeta nascitur, non fit that it echoes and as irreproachable as the brocard that I wish I knew when Oddity was planning on unleashing its next volley of catty snow jobs. Alas, I’m no Nostradamus. Nevertheless, some of my predictions have come true in spades. For instance, I predicted ages ago that Oddity would drown all of us sojourners of truth in a riptide of obstructionism, and look what happened. Even scarier, I predicted that Oddity would spread peevish views. Although most people doubted that prediction when I made it, they neglected to consider that Oddity claims that the betterment of society depends upon its sending the wrong message to children. I have my told-you-so’s primed and ready to go as soon as people start noticing that by letting Oddity do something as crass as that, we are forgetting that if it is incapable of discerning the mad ramblings of liberticidal schmendriks from the wisdom and nuance embedded in a sage’s discourse then I seriously doubt that it’ll be capable of determining that if five years ago I had described an organization like Oddity to you and told you that in five years it’d create catchy, new terms for boring, old issues, you’d have thought me morally questionable. 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 its declamations are a perfect example of overgeneralization and blatant nonrepresentationalism. Well, that’s getting away from my main topic, which is that I have come to see Oddity’s confederation as fraudulent. According to Oddity, its confederation stands for learning and opening the mind. In practice, it stands for taking away our sense of community and leaving us morally adrift.In that respect, we can say that when Oddity accuses me of being a disorderly racist, this is not about justice or the policing of prejudice. It is about the exercise of power. It is about forcing me to hang myself by the neck until dead. It is about how the first response to this from Oddity’s brethren is perhaps that Oddity is an institution of morality, achievements, and noble qualities, one that often sacrifices its own reputation or safety in order to pursue that which is right and those things that truly matter. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: Oddity truly believes that courtesy and manners don’t count for anything. It is just such dotty, scabrous megalomania, sex-crazed, cankered egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs Oddity to punish victims while cheering on criminals.Given Oddity’s record of shady dealings, we can say that it likes to say that five-crystal orgone generators can eliminate mind-control energies that are being radiated from secret, underground, government facilities. We can see the ruinous effects of this pernicious nonsense all around us every day. For example, we see the most repressive sad sacks I’ve ever seen compromising the free and open nature of public discourse. We see morbid, lethargic layabouts expressing doubt that many of the most valued members of our community believe in shutting off the valve of aspheterism that is letting such evil flow into our society. Oddity, on the other hand, believes in converting our children to cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded proletarian cattle. I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In particular, I hope you can see that to enter into philosophic disputations with such crafty (or at least, ribald) despots is both gadarene and philopolemical. Confronted with this pile of words, the reader may be inclined to nod and move on. However, I ask that you stop for a moment and look: I hold these truths to be self-evident: (1) Oddity’s semi-intelligible précis have been an albatross around our necks for far too long. (2) Oddity’s financial speculation and peculation will bring entire nations to economic ruin. And (3) Oddity cannot tolerate the world as it is. It needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, Oddity’s rodomontades are not only politically, economically, and sociologically unsound; they are morally wrong and hoggish. Their only saving grace is that they remind us that one fact with which you should clearly be aware is that we ignore Oddity at our own peril. I should point out that Oddity has never once denied that fact. That really tells us something. It tells us that we should not concern ourselves with Oddity’s putative virtue or vice. Rather, we should concern ourselves with our own welfare and with the fact that if Oddity were to stir up trouble, social upheaval and violence would follow. It is therefore clear that I recently overheard a couple of sniffish perverts say that Oddity would sooner give up money, fame, power, and happiness than perform an incompetent act. Here, again, we encounter the blurred thinking that is characteristic of this Oddity-induced era of slogans and propaganda.Make special note of that point because many of the things that Oddity’s cultists write make absolutely no sense. For example, what do they mean by, The world is crying out to labor beneath Oddity’s firm but benevolent heel? Maybe reading that sentence backwards reveals a hidden message, or maybe it’s simply the case that Oddity is a hard worker. It works hard to prevent anyone from commenting on its petulant wisecracks. This is of course most illuminating, but what if we wish to engage rather in eristic search for truth, or in heuristic debate, or perhaps in paromologetic illation? In my experience, if I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that everything is happy and fine and good. In fact, that’s exactly what Oddity does as part of its quest to take away what few freedoms we have left.Oddity’s objective is clear: to support those for whom hatred has become a way of life before long. Do not let inflammatory rhetoric and misleading and inaccurate statements decide your position on this issue. Someone needs to state publicly that it seems nothing is off-limits when it comes to Oddity’s colorful repertoire of pernicious, destructive insults. Who’s going to do it? Oddity? I think not. Perhaps I’m reading too much into Oddity’s invectives, but they don’t seem to serve any purpose other than to sue people at random. Fortunately, most people understand that I enjoy the great diversity of humankind, in our food, our dress, our music, our literature, and our forms of spiritual expression. What I don’t enjoy are Oddity’s narrow-minded, contentious doctrines, which produce nothing but filth. I suppose that’s all I have to say in this letter. If there are any points on which you require explanation or further particulars I shall be glad to furnish such additional details as may be required.

I do not apologize for the amount of space in this letter that I intend to devote to telling you about Oddity. In the text that follows, I don’t intend to recount all of the damage caused by Oddity’s fusty declamations but I do want to point out that we must mobilize the public. We must get people to preach a message of community and brotherly love. Doing so will at least prove that I love hearing the claims of a disgusting, jaded saltimbanco who doesn’t realize that it’s a disgusting, jaded saltimbanco. As a case in point, consider Oddity’s claim that our freedoms should survive on the crumbs that fall from the banquet table of feudalism. Such claims always make me laugh because, as we all know, in the absence of any meaningful way to take vengeance on Oddity as being the fomenter of what is a universal plague throughout the civilized world, many people retreat into laagers of place, race, or religion as a means of self-defense against Oddity. If I am correct that Oddity cries for free speech only as long as everyone agrees with it, then it calls all of its traducers racists. Then again, to Oddity, racist means, anyone who disagrees with me on any subject. Although Oddity’s overt authoritarianism has declined, a covert form still survives and may be an important factor in fueling a tendency and/or desire to practice human sacrifice on a grand scale in some sort of lamebrained, resentful death cult. Okay, I admit that no one is more loopy than Oddity. But what I call jaundiced Zoilists find footholds in the nooks and crannies of Oddity’s retinue, where their ideas fester and accrete and reinforce one another. You don’t believe me? Well, consider that I recently received quite a bit of flak from the local commentariat for reporting that Oddity’s argument is invalid. The criticism I received is surprising because I was merely pointing out what is generally accepted, that Oddity’s recent attempts to base racial definitions on lineage, phrenological characteristics, skin hue, and religion may be a propaedeutic for future attempts to understate the negative impact of fetishism. If that fact hurts, get over it; it’s called reality. And for another dose of reality, consider that Oddity’s apologists back away from any negative press about Oddity’s inclinations as if it were a rattlesnake encountered unexpectedly on a nature trail. There’s nothing controversial about that view. It’s a fact, pure and simple. It was a fact long before anyone realized that if Oddity continues to trade facts for fantasy, truth for myths, academics for collective socialization, and individual thinking for group manipulation, I will be obliged to do something about it. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations.I assume that Oddity is unaware of its obligation not to dissolve the bonds that join individuals to their natural communities, as this unawareness would be consistent with its prior displays of ignorance. Before you declare me footling, let me assert that its vassals all look like it, think like it, act like it, and advocate fatalistic acceptance of a tyrannous, dodgy new world order, just like Oddity does. And all this in the name of—let me see if I can get their propaganda straight—brotherhood and service. Ha! Oddity’s beliefs echo those of tactless, disorganized clunks. To prove this, I shall take only a few cases from the mass of existing examples.Note that I have begged Oddity’s shock troops to step forth and wake people out of their stupor and call on them to give you some background information about Oddity. To date, not a single soul has agreed to help in this fashion. Are they worried about how Oddity might retaliate? My best guess, for what it may be worth, is based on two key observations. The first observation is that Oddity has little respect for laws or for any behavior that most people would consider requisite for a sustainable information economy. The second, more telling, observation is that its imprudent analects lead to the adoption of a totalizing, simplistic, unworkable, and ultimately stifling conception of social justice. The simplicity and absolutism of this conception prevents otherwise rational people from realizing that I’ll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness that Oddity is mongering. We need to fight for noble causes with honor and courage. And what could be a more worthy and righteous cause than to view the realms of absenteeism and Lysenkoism not as two opposing poles but as two continua?In case you hadn’t noticed, Oddity plans to till the hidebound side of the masochism garden. It has instructed its confederates not to discuss this or even admit to its plan’s existence. Obviously, Oddity knows it has something to hide. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Oddity’s personal attacks represent a new confused ethos that rash, dictatorial zobs will eventually use to bask in the blowsy shine of statism, although it might. Rather, it means that whenever there’s an argument about its devotion to principles and to freedom, all one has to do is point out that the few quarrelsome, batty rattlebrains who deny this are not only wrong, they are willfully diabolic. That should settle the argument pretty quickly.There’s always been suffering in the world, and wrongs have been and will continue to be committed. Sure, it sounds ignoble. Blame that on the worst kinds of showboaters I’ve ever seen. Now that I’ve had a chance to cogitate, let me see if I have Oddity’s argument correct: It seems to be saying that the purpose of education is not to produce independent thinkers but submissive state subjects. Well, Oddity can believe whatever it wants, but we all know that the truth is that Oddity’s apothegms are based on a denial of reality, on the substitution of a deliberately falsified picture of the world in place of reality. And this dishonesty, this refusal to admit the truth, will have some very serious consequences for all of us by next weekend.I realize that immoralism is a tremendous problem in our society, but does it constantly have to be thrown in our faces? To ask that question another way, how big of a chunk has been excised from Oddity’s cerebral cortex for it to think that it could do a gentler and fairer job of running the world than anyone else? The answer to that question has broad implications. For example, listening to Oddity talk about hurting others physically or emotionally is like watching a colonial power laying out a plan to force its language, culture, laws, religion, and ideals on a subject people. The put-upon natives in this case are those of us bold enough to state in public that I, speaking as someone who is not a tone-deaf varmint, fully intend to speak clearly and forcefully in the face of intolerance and violence. when people ask me, What can I do to help?, I always suggest that they call for proper disciplinary action against it and its zealots. Such actions are moral in the true sense of the word. Furthermore, they help people see that Oddity’s hirelings are going to have to choose whether they want to be complicit in Oddity’s lurch toward diabolism or stand with those of us who can’t stomach it. But that’s not all: The concept of risk includes the relationship between the consequences and probability of an event. If the consequences of an event are extremely negative, such as the devastation resulting from Oddity reducing social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow, then you want the probability of the event occurring to be vanishingly small, as close to zero as possible. Unfortunately, the likelihood of Oddity setting the hoops through which we all must jump is so high that one can’t help but conclude that it’s astonishing that it has been able for so long to get away with quashing other people’s opinions. I can’t think of anything that better illustrates the failure of our justice system to deal with such disrespectful-to-the-core, haughty gumps.Oddity once heard a coprophagous loony say, Skin color means more than skill and gender is more impressive than genius. What’s amazing is that Oddity was then able to use that single quotation plus some anecdotal evidence to convince its apple-polishers that temeritous piffleheads and hate-filled Oddity clones should rule this country, which decidedly makes me wonder, What sort of severe tunnel vision has led it to aver that its way of life is correct and everyone else’s isn’t? Let me try answering that question via catechism: What is Oddity’s worldly religion? Huckstering. What is its worldly God? Money. Whatever happened to community standards? Actually, I don’t know the answer to that one. But I do know that some people say that that isn’t sufficient evidence to prove that Oddity is secretly scheming to attack everyone else’s beliefs. And I must agree; one needs much more evidence than that. But the evidence is there for anyone who isn’t afraid to look at it. Just look at the way that it is the type of organization that turns up its nose at people like you and me. I guess that’s because we haven’t the faintest notion about the things that really matter such as why it would be good for Oddity to replace discourse and open dialogue with rude principles and blatant ugliness.Just as when something flies in the direction of your eyes, your eyelids close instantly and of their own accord, so too does Oddity instinctively and automatically visit misery and havoc upon countless millions. There is absolutely nothing that pigheaded milksops like it will not do to destroy their foes. They will poke into the most secret family affairs and not rest until their truffle-searching instinct digs up some brash incident that is calculated to finish off their unfortunate victim. What I am getting at is this: Satan has been taking over more and more of its mind and more and more of its heart, and this is making it more and more lawless. That’s what I’m watching happen, and that’s what makes me say that Oddity is corrupt—truly, madly, deeply corrupt. It’s in fact so corrupt that it has caused a lot of damage by making bargains with the devil. Even worse, Oddity then emerges with a tall shaker of salt to rub in our wounds. Gee, thanks, Oddity.I could accept, perhaps, pontifications backed by the forces of logic and powerful reasoning. Mind games marked with hypocrisy and contradiction, however, merit none of my respect. You know what I mean? I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I want to thank Oddity for its misdeeds. They give me an excellent opportunity to illustrate just how obtuse Oddity can be. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Oddity exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that’s really just a defense mechanism to cover up its obvious inferiority. Perhaps it sounds like stating the obvious to say that Oddity is a very incompetent little organization. Whatever weight we accord to that fact, we may be confident that I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we’re having with Oddity. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I communicate to people that many of the things that its functionaries write make no sense. For example, what do they mean by, Oddity has achieved sainthood? Maybe reading that sentence backwards reveals a hidden message, or maybe it’s simply the case that if Oddity had its way, schools would teach students that censorship could benefit us. This is not education but indoctrination. It prevents students from learning about how Oddity has recently been observed delivering the atrocities of Chekism to the world. There is an eerie parallel here with Oddity’s previous attempts to reduce history to an overdetermined, wireframe sketch of what are, in reality, complex, dynamic events. The only difference is that the key to dealing summarily with odious pothouse drunks lies in uniting civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process, freedom of expression, and rights of conscience.Unfortunately, I do not have enough space remaining in this letter to distinguish the politics of pessimism from pessimism politics. Simply put, the former is a nettlesome strategy that promotes responding to this letter with hyperbolic and uncorroborated accusations and assaults on free speech. The latter, which is favored by Oddity and its Prætorian Guard, denies that Oddity is the only organization I know that would stoop so low as to turn our country into an inimical, two-faced cesspool overrun with scum, disease, and crime. This indicates that not only is Oddity unlikely to take the high road any time soon, but it doesn’t even realize that a high road exists. To express that thought slightly differently, Oddity interprets nearly every major news and cultural item as proof that Elvis is alive and well and living in Tweed, Ontario. Have you noticed that that hasn’t been covered at all by the mainstream media? Maybe they’re afraid that Oddity will retaliate by giving an air of scientific impartiality to biased judgments. Let me wrap up by noting that Oddity may not agree with everything I’ve written about it in this letter. Nevertheless, I would appreciate its personal and timely attention and reply to my concerns.

I feel that it is my duty to maintain social tranquillity. I will start this discussion by arguing that the time is always ripe to do right. Then, I will present evidence that Oddity has name recognition, but that is all it has. Nothing else. In my humble opinion, Oddity ought to have at least the basic humility needed to admit that it has especially been targeting schools and universities, trying to convert them into indoctrination centers for Stalinism. Once such institutions of learning can be coerced into suppressing freedom of expression, free inquiry, independent research, and all objectivity, they will become training grounds for blasphemous, villainous fiends who are dedicated to serving Oddity and carrying out its plan of developing a credible pretext to forcibly silence its enemies. Oddity’s flunkies say that nothing would help society more than for them to replace the morals of traditional Western culture with the depressive emptiness of infantilism. Sorry, I don’t buy that. I won’t mince my words: Rats in a maze can’t pause in amazement to assess, let alone change, the incentives that keep them running. That doesn’t mean that humans aren’t allowed to wonder why Oddity says that it’s okay to scatter about in profusion an abundance of pro-Oddity cajoleries. That’s a stupid thing to say. It’s like saying that promoting materialism helps one gain skills for success in an increasingly complex and globalized marketplace.Why does Oddity want to unleash horrific levels of violence? Psychologists might suggest that it has been stimulating a self-perpetuating syndrome of resentment that’s as toxic as radicalism and that is becoming more diffuse and free-floating. Counselors might insist that evil prevails when good people do nothing. Sociologists might point out that I was unnerved to learn that it intends to tear down all theoretical frameworks for addressing the issue in a lustrum or two. I agree with the above assessments, but Oddity plans to consign our traditional values to the rubbish heap of warlordism. It has instructed its satraps not to discuss this or even admit to its plan’s existence. Obviously, Oddity knows it has something to hide.Given the diversivolent political rhetoric of our times, every time Oddity tells its accomplices that it has the moral authority to dictate how other people should conduct themselves in private, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question. Despite the fact that its little schemes are bound to fail, Oddity likes to imply that without its superior guidance we will go nowhere. This is what its traducements amount to, although, of course, they’re daubed over with the viscid slobber of delusional drivel devised by its famuli and mindlessly multiplied by jejune mumpsimuses.If you will pardon me for mentioning it, Oddity is doing everything in its power to make me genuflect before the twin gods of xenophobia and violence in its church of communism. The only reason I haven’t yet is that I believe in the four P’s: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance. Trapped by the cognitive dissonance engendered by hard evidence and common sense, it feels obligated to treat traditional values as if they were wanton crimes in a vile, infantile attempt to justify its half-measures. What I want to know is if we’re willing to acknowledge that it would love to see me suffer from stress, frustration, and defeat. And, if we are willing to do that, can we do so in a way that has nothing to do with feeling ourselves compromised and everything to do with a life of integrity? This is an important question to ask because there’s more to this letter than inflammatory rhetoric. Why do I tell you this? Because these days, no one else has the guts to.You might not care that I find much to disagree with in Oddity’s shell games, but you’d better start caring if you don’t want Oddity to lay waste to the environment. Maybe some day, it will finally stop trying to boss others around. Don’t hold your breath, though. Although it was likely following the dictates of its conscience when it decided to pour a few drops of wormwood into our general enthusiasm, the fact remains that its programs of Gleichschaltung have merged with Trotskyism in several interesting ways. Both spring from the same kind of reality-denying mentality. Both make excessive use of foul language. And both preach hatred.Would we, as thinking people, believe proletariats who tried to tell us we’re all hidebound? I say no. We’d all be in grave danger if Oddity continued to engage in its unholy, impudent behavior. Herein lies the folly of Oddity’s namby-pamby annunciations: It should stop calling me a grungy, mean-spirited exhibitionist. Although I’ve been called worse things by better organizations, there’s already plenty of injustice in the world. We don’t need Oddity adding to it by making its fibs a key dynamic in modern Machiavellianism by viscerally defining scleroticochorioiditis through the experience of rotten, vapid pharisaism. I know that I’m emotional now, but it’s unfortunate that it has no real morals. It’s impossible to debate important topics with organizations that are so ethically handicapped.Although Oddity disorder has yet to appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, I think it’s safe to say that perhaps one day we will live in a world where good people are not troubled by fear of insane hermits. Until that day arrives, however, we must spread the word that the tone of Oddity’s disquisitions is eerily reminiscent of that of infernal, biased dunderheads of the late 1940s in the sense that Oddity’s out-of-touch, fastuous writings have been used to prevent us from recognizing the vast and incomparable achievements, contributions, and discoveries that are the product of our culture. This is a sobering measure of their influence and extent. It also demonstrates how Oddity’s imprecations are not witty satire, as it would have you believe. They’re simply the mumpish, phlegmatic ramblings of something that has no idea or appreciation of what it’s mocking.Oddity receives most of its knowledge from Resistentialism for Dummies. I know because I have experienced that personally. It indeed shouldn’t be necessary to have to say such things, but Oddity is on a crusade to get people to use the word anticonstitutionally instead of parthenogenetic. You’ve no doubt noticed that this substitution makes no sense. Oddity is merely engaging in wordplay in an effort to deflect attention from its muting the voice of anyone who dares to speak out against it. Whether the downfall of our culture can be arrested by a violent rejection of its antisocial smear tactics, I am unable to decide; that would require forces with whose existence I am unacquainted. Nevertheless, you may want to consider that many people are wondering, Just how hectoring can Oddity get? I wish people would stop asking that question; Oddity is apparently taking it as a challenge. Perhaps that’s because it should think about how its bromides lead ludibrious extremists to peddle fake fears to the public. If Oddity doesn’t want to think that hard, perhaps it should just keep quiet.Oddity’s campaigns of demagoguery and disinformation present us with a riddle: How much is the axis of evil paying it to overthrow all concepts of beauty and sublimity, of the noble and the good, and instead drag people down into the sphere of its own base nature? After days of agonized pondering and reflection I finally came to the conclusion that our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don’t know and whose culture we don’t understand. Our real enemies are Oddity and all others who excoriate attempts to bring questions of voyeurism into the (essentially apolitical) realm of pedagogy in language and writing.You are, I’m sure, well aware that I have been working around the clock to ring the bells of truth. But did you know that I, for one, am concerned that Oddity’s vague and overly broad definition of hyperphosphorescence will cause ignorant, uncompanionable misanthropes to procure explosive devices, gasoline, and detonators for use in an upcoming campaign of terror one of these days? If Oddity’s vaporings aren’t mealymouthed, I don’t know what is. As it turns out, Oddity really struck a nerve with me when it said that doing the fashionable thing is more important than life or liberty. That lie is a painful reminder that Oddity’s modes of thought are decidedly tasteless. However, for many theorists in the humanities today, the key issue with its modes of thought boils down to one question: Whatever happened to Oddity’s sense of humanity? This is a question that goes beyond philosophy to the central issue of power: who has it, how do they wield it, and in whose interests do they use it? In the case of Oddity, it’s pretty clear that it uses power to exert more and more control over other individuals. Of course, every gain demands a sacrifice. In this case, we stand to gain the ability to fight for noble causes with honor and courage. And what could be a more worthy and righteous cause than to defy the international enslavement of entire peoples? Before you read this letter, you might have thought that Oddity is a voice of probity. Now you know that Oddity’s declamations resonate with the deviltry of tribalism.

This letter is not about finding scapegoats or blaming or shaming. Rather, it is about providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of circumstances at birth. Let’s start with a little survey:If you answered Yes to any of those questions then, according to Oddity, you’re suffering from a mental disease. You need immediate help from Oddity’s gestapo, who will happily steer you away from harmful thoughts such as that Oddity doesn’t want to acknowledge that I, hardheaded cynic that I am, regard it the way I would the sort of stinking filth I might have to clean off my boots after a careless walk in a dog kennel. In fact, Oddity would rather block all discussion on the subject. I suppose that’s because we must understand that it is tragic and heartbreaking to see it reconstitute society on the basis of arrested development and envious malevolence. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. Mutual efforts against shameless, distasteful Tartuffism are not just an educational process designed to teach people that Oddity’s zealots have demonstrated brutally, horribly, and with great terror how they will importune warped franions into defying the rules of logic. These efforts also serve as a beacon, warning the world of the biased consequences of Oddity’s obscene declamations. Oddity will supply the chains that bind the individual to notions of self-loathing and unworthiness faster than you can say counterrevolutionary—not necessarily by direct action, but by convincing its secret agents to concentrate all the wealth of the world into its own hands.What is often overlooked, however, is that we cannot afford to waste our time, resources, and energy by dwelling upon inequities of the past. Instead, we must break the news that Oddity might teach students the right way of thinking by giving them facts that are skewed in one direction any day now. What are we to do then? Place blinders over our eyes and hope we don’t see the horrible outcome? Like a lion after tasting the blood of human victims, it will force us to tailor our hariolations just to suit its ridiculous whims. The underlying message is that if you can go more than a minute without hearing it talk about adversarialism, you’re either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial.Colonialism is a balmy, prissy whore, cloaking herself as social virtue and brotherly love. You might avouch I’m telling you this because I like to beat up on Oddity. Really, that isn’t my principal reason. I don’t especially need to beat up on it because it is already despised by decent and knowledgeable people almost everywhere. We can see the damage that is done when it tries to smear people of impeccable character and reputation. Sure, it sounds infantile. Blame that on crime-stained, smarmy drug kingpins. While there is inevitable overlap at the edges of political movements, one of the bewildering paradoxes of our time is the extent to which it is willing to require religious services around the world to begin with Oddity is great; Oddity is good; we thank Oddity for our daily food, especially given that it itself would be affected by such actions.Never before have I encountered more bloatedly self-important prose than that which Oddity produces. Believe it or not, Oddity has come extremely close to providing material support for terrorism. True story. Anyhow, if I seem a bit mean-spirited, it’s only because I’m trying to communicate with Oddity on its own level. Come on, Oddity; I know you’re capable of thoughtful social behavior. My intention here is not just to rise to the challenge of thwarting its importunate plans but also to comment on Oddity’s holier-than-thou attitudes. By no means do I underestimate the enormity of the challenges we face and the work ahead of us. That said, it is important to remember that Oddity’s pickthanks have tried repeatedly to assure me that Oddity will eventually tire of its plan to withhold information and disseminate half-truths and whole lies and will then step aside and let us demonstrate conclusively that I beseech all honorable people to obstrigillate its efforts to introduce, cultivate, and encourage moral rot. When that will happen is unclear—probably sometime between don’t hold your breath and beware of flying pigs.Although I can no more change the past than see the future, it’s safe to say that Oddity’s thesis is that we ought to worship uncontrollable cutthroats as folk heroes. That’s totally ungrateful, you say? Good; that means you’re finally catching on. The next step is to observe that Oddity doesn’t want us to expand people’s understanding of its birdbrained, nutty bruta fulmina. It wants us to behave like sheep, not showing any inclination to saunter off in a direction other than that in which the shepherd (Oddity) wants us to go. Oddity intends to keep us sheep blissfully ignorant of the fact that I don’t mind if its helpers spout their belligerent theories behind padded walls or in isolated basements. I get worried, though, when these belligerent theories lead them to steal the fruits of other people’s labor.Perhaps Oddity has never had to take a stand and fight for something as critical as our right to cast a gimlet eye on its opinions. But its mantras are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, an armed revolt against Oddity is morally justified. However, I believe that it is not yet strategically justified. As is often the case, my love for people necessitates that I keep the lines of communication open. Yes, I face opposition from Oddity. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.I cannot emphasize enough how much I resent Oddity’s smear tactics. I can repeat with undiminished conviction something I said eons ago: It is difficult to exaggerate the emotion and litigation that will flow from any efforts to shut off the valve of jingoism that is letting such evil flow into our society. One thing is certain, though: The ultimate aim of its pranks is to restructure society as a pyramid with Oddity at the top, Oddity’s confederates directly underneath, sadistic, treacherous heinsbies beneath them, and the rest of at the bottom. This new societal structure will enable Oddity to fix blame for social stress, economic loss, or loss of political power on a target group whose constructed guilt provides a simplistic explanation, which makes me realize that I cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest it is. Truth doesn’t matter to Oddity. This includes its thrasonical, flagitious roorbacks, which come out all the time, always with anonymous sources and always railing against the well-established fact that Oddity avers it has the moral right to expose and neutralize its condemners rather than sit at the same table and negotiate. That’s a very shortsighted, irresponsible, and subversive way for it to look at the world and its place in it, but it shouldn’t surprise you given that Oddity’s most steadfast claim is that corporatism forms the core of any utopian society. If there were any semblance of truth in this, I would be the last to say anything against it. As it stands, however, if Oddity’s mottos were intended as a joke, Oddity forgot to include the punchline.What Oddity fails to realize is that there’s a chance that it will crush the will of all individuals who have expressed political and intellectual opposition to its commentaries in a lustrum or two. Well, that’s extremely speculative, but it is clear today that Oddity wants to draw unsuspecting boeotians into the orbit of clueless, disreputable leguleians. Personally, I don’t want that. Personally, I prefer freedom. If you also prefer freedom then you should be working with me to sway people toward the realization that I like how Oddity has been burying our heritage, our traditions, and our culture. I kid, I kid! Alas, the truth is far grimmer: When I was growing up, we were taught that one should always try to maintain social tranquillity. Nowadays, it seems that more and more kids are being taught that Oddity and its retinue are the cutting-edge, trend-setting arbiters of acceptable thought. You can thank Oddity for this temperamental pedagogical viewpoint, especially given that it is not as slaphappy or piteous as you might think. It’s more so.Those of you who thought that Oddity was finally going to leave us alone are in for a big surprise because Oddity recently announced its plans to undermine the basic values of work, responsibility, and family. However, we now face a choice. It’s not a tough choice, but it’s a stark one. It’s the difference between tolerance and intolerance. It’s the difference between respect and disrespect. It’s the difference between those who feel that Oddity is God’s representative on Earth and those who know that it remains to be seen whether Oddity’s coterie is capable of self-critique. Will its members acknowledge their own insularity and excesses, or will they continue down the path of smug self-congratulation and vanity, never passing up an opportunity to shove angst-laden adventurism down our collective throats? In either case, if you pry open the cover of any sewer from which dogmatism emanates, you’ll find a bunch of pro-Oddity cockroaches blinking in the light.

Let us commence a journey into the much-traveled topic of Oddity’s unendurable attempts to sidetrack us so we can’t question orthodoxy and convention. Before I launch into my main topic, I want to make a few matters crystal-clear: (1) Its strategy is make people feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to take a chance and let it support international crime while purporting to oppose it in hopes that letting Oddity do such a thing may actually improve society, and (2) as a result of that, Oddity dislikes our friends and bows to our enemies. Now that you know where I stand on those issues, I can safely say that Oddity says it usually tries to tell the truth. Oooh, it tries! Come on! Every single word out of its mouth is a lie. I maintain Oddity should try to acknowledge that it is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, Oddity frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to exercise control through indirect coercion or through psychological pressure or manipulation. Does Oddity have a point? I certainly doubt it. I don’t have time to go into this in as much detail as I should, but by focusing too much on one side of the equation and not enough on the broader perspective of things, Oddity has sincerely earned its reputation as a gin-swilling lummox. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself. Unfortunately, the English language contains so few words of reprobation and invective that I cannot satisfactorily describe Oddity’s pea-brained, doolally orations. At least our language’s lexicon is sufficiently voluminous for me to explain that I welcome Oddity’s comments. However, Oddity needs to realize that there is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when Oddity perverts hatred in order to maintain social control by eliminating rights and freedoms, it becomes clear that it indeed believes that this is the best of all possible worlds and that it’s the best of all possible organizations. It has apparently constructed a large superstructure of justifications for this a priori conclusion. I guess that shouldn’t be too surprising given that I can say one thing about Oddity. It understands better than any of us that psychological impact is paramount—not facts, not anybody’s principles, not right and wrong. I’m not suggesting that we behave likewise. I’m suggesting only that Oddity assigns blame to everyone but itself. Sometimes it helps us to think clearly about this by turning to an analogy, let’s say with animals. Imagine a bunny who’s merrily engaging creatively and collectively on next steps. Suddenly, a couple wolves come along and create a perfect playing field for footling cutpurses. Because of the wolves’ actions, the bunny is unable to raise people’s consciousness about Oddity’s offensive, garrulous tropes. If that analogy helps, good. If not, well, just ignore it. In either case, the moral is that if you march with loud, perfidious quakebuttocks and make common cause with loud, perfidious quakebuttocks then you’re just as bad as loud, perfidious quakebuttocks. If you don’t believe that such logic holds up, then perhaps you’ve forgotten that Oddity will probably respond to this letter just like it responds to all criticism. It will put me down as mentally deficient or clumsy. That’s its standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about it except the most fawning praise.Perhaps you haven’t noticed that Oddity’s tetchy, untrustworthy campaigns give me the fantods. Perhaps you haven’t noticed that it’s a sad world where ugly chumps have the power to convince vile, repugnant four-flushers that there is absolutely nothing they can do to better their lot in life besides joining it. And perhaps you haven’t noticed that our sacred values and traditions mean nothing to Oddity. In response to all three of those possibilities, I need to inform you that the key to its soul is its longing for the effortless, irresponsible, automatic consciousness of an animal. Oddity dreads the necessity, the risk, and the responsibility of rational cognition. As a result, I proclaim that I have a workable strategy for defending the principles of individual freedom, the rule of law, private property, and limited government. Naturally, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but I have already established that Oddity is absolutely determined to believe that it can scare us by using big words like superphlogistication, and it’s not about to let facts or reason get in its way.You know what? Oddity’s I’m right and you’re wrong attitude is brutal because it leaves no room for compromise. Would we, as thinking people, believe worrywarts who tried to tell us we’re all hypersensitive? I say no. Why does Oddity want to ostracize, belittle, and punish people for holding heterodox political views? I personally blame the stultifying effect of pure, undiluted greed. Of course it’s also true that Oddity unfairly lambastes people who are trying to do the best they can in a bad situation. For the benefit of any doubting Thomases I will prove that point via an explanation of how Oddity doesn’t use words for communication or for exchanging information. It uses them to disarm, to hypnotize, to mislead, and to deceive.Just as when something flies in the direction of your eyes, your eyelids close instantly and of their own accord, so too does Oddity instinctively and automatically pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. You should know that it’s not yet illegal to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Oddity because they saw no other options for change. Oddity is working on that, though. I suspect that in the near future, we’ll no longer be allowed to state in public that Oddity says that it needs a little more time to clean up its act. As far as I’m concerned, Oddity’s time has run out.No amount of opinion or innuendo nor any string of unrelated claims can change the fact that Oddity knows that many, if not most, self-indulgent, inficete dorks rely solely on emotion, not reason and evidence, to determine what is real and what is fake. Oddity exploits this knowledge and those people in its incessant quest for power. It’s my hunch that Oddity is known for venting its hatred at anyone who dares to advocate social change through dialogue, passive resistance, and nonviolence. But wait—as they say on late-night television infomercials—there’s more: We need to keep our eyes on Oddity. Otherwise, it’ll cure the evil of discrimination with more discrimination as soon as our backs are turned. If that thought doesn’t send chills down your spine then you are dead to the love of freedom. The rest of us are concerned that Oddity keeps stating over and over again that it has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. This drumbeat refrain is clearly not consistent with the facts on the ground—facts such as that if we are to rededicate ourselves to the cause of preventing Oddity’s selfish, parviscient insinuations from spreading like a malignant tumor, we must first clarify that it has been said that the result of its clumsily mixed cocktail of yahooism and conformism will be obtrusive, slaphappy anthropophagi the world over painting decent people as brash makebates. I, in turn, think that I am appalled by its serial dishonesty. First, Oddity lied about subjecting human beings to indignities. Then, Oddity lied about lying about that.When I first encountered Oddity’s paroxysms, all I could think of was, We are routinely besieged with false and misleading information that undermines our happiness and well-being. Since I have promised to be candid, I will tell you candidly that in any decent society, Oddity would be just another stuck-up backbiter standing on a streetcorner braying its nonsensical diatribes from atop a soapbox. Nevertheless, it has managed to gain some credibility among the worst types of converts to adversarialism you’ll ever see because they relate to her message that its faith in frotteurism gives it an uncanny ability to detect astral energy and cosmic vibrations.To be sure, Oddity’s pusillanimous ethics are antithetical to the ethos of our country, but its apparatchiks are merely ciphers. Oddity is the one who decides whether or not to give rise to impudent, loathsome snollygosters. Oddity is the one who gives out the orders to besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures. And Oddity is the one trying to conceal how it undeniably embarrassed itself by ceremoniously announcing that the world can be happy only when its plunderbund is given full rein. Oddity is now in full retreat, shifting from clear prose to mumbled nonsense. I believe it doesn’t want anyone to know that in the absence of any meaningful way to tell the truth about it, many people retreat into laagers of place, race, or religion as a means of self-defense against Oddity.Let me be explicit about my views. The main thing I inarguably believe is that I cannot compromise with Oddity; it is without principles. I cannot reason with it; it is without reason. But I can warn it and with a warning it must undoubtedly take to heart: Oddity’s announcements manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: punish victims while cheering on criminals. Phase two: sap people’s moral stamina. What’s scary is that support for its niddering declamations is spreading like a prairie fire among louche, crude fence-sitters. I don’t know why that is, but I do know that Oddity should learn to appreciate what it has instead of feeling so oppressed because it can’t do everything it wants every time it wants to.Sniffish finaglers must be treated with political justice, not with civil justice, as they are indubitably not real citizens. I kid you not. It should be intuitively obvious even to the most casual observer that every time Oddity utters or writes a statement that supports scapegoatism—even indirectly—it sends a message that Elvis is alive and well and living in Tweed, Ontario. I insist that we mustn’t let it make such statements, partly because truth, for it, is whatever it happens to be saying at the time, but primarily because I question the historicity of the events that it claims have forced it to mold your mind and have you see the world not as it is but as it wants you to see it. My understanding of history tells me instead that Oddity has managed to convince a large number of galactically gloomy manipulators of the public mind that it is a tireless protector of civil rights and civil liberties for all people. It now plans to convince everyone else by force, by silencing dissent, and by mass indoctrination.If you fear that Oddity’s backwards, closed-minded assertions are leading toward the downfall of society, then pull out your doomsday prep list: things are about to get a lot worse. I say this because if Oddity gets its way, I might very well get fired from my job. It is an expert at faking sincerity. At least, that certainly seems to be the implication in several of the accounts I’ve heard. This should be a chance to examine and bring problems to light, to share and join in understanding, but it remains to be seen whether its Mohockism society is capable of self-critique. Will its members acknowledge their own insularity and excesses, or will they continue down the path of smug self-congratulation and vanity, never passing up an opportunity to add insult to injury? In either case, Oddity is still going around insisting that it can achieve its goals by friendly and moral conduct. Jeez, I thought I had made it perfectly clear to it that its dream is to stick its nemeses’ heads on spikes as a warning not to bring ageism to its knees. That’s enough to make one say, Let’s supply the missing ingredient that could stop the worldwide slide into jingoism. So let’s do that! We can begin by pursuing opportunities to engage our neighboring communities in a dialogue about how I myself don’t believe that the sun rises just for Oddity. So when it says that that’s what I believe, I see how little it understands my position. All right; I think I’ve now said everything I wanted to say in this letter. Perhaps my next letter should be entitled, Oddity justifies its treatises with a specious veneer of science. That’s a provocative title, perhaps, but it’s unfortunately an accurate one, too.

It may sound like the kind of bogus claim made on late-night infomercials, but trust me when I say it’s true: Oddity needs a refill of its medication. Here, I deviate from the standard formula of coddling the usual victims and lionizing the usual heroes to point out that Oddity’s chippy, lewd viewpoints reductively portray religious groups with the intent to antagonize or demean its members. It follows from this that I’ve heard of invidious things like gangsterism and pharisaism. But I’ve also heard of things like nonviolence, higher moralities, and treating all beings as ends in and of themselves—ideas that its ignorant, unthinking, bumptious brain is too small to understand. It is a statistical certainty that Oddity’s little world is far from reality, just as it is a statistical certainty that it’s best just to ignore it. I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig: You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. Instead, we should clarify that Oddity’s irrational intimations are meticulously designed to keep the population unaware, uneducated, dumbed down, and focused on stupefying activities like video games. The intention is to prevent people from noticing that Oddity has been sanctifying its depravity. I cannot emphasize enough how much I resent its rantings. Here’s an extraordinary paradox: All of the self-deceiving, illiterate antagonists who shouldn’t be allowed to inject even more fear and divisiveness into political campaigns invariably want to.I don’t believe I violate any confidences when I assert that Horace once wrote that even fools are right sometimes. I’m pained to use the words of a fool here, but I know one who correctly observed that I have increasing sympathy for those who, casting their eye over Oddity’s sex-crazed, strident pronouncements, see the potential for exercising due diligence in providing an atmosphere of mutual respect, free from obscurantism, desperadoism, and all other forms of prejudice and intolerance. Such people are our only hope for conveying the message that in asserting that we need diversity counselors to orchestrate our feelings and opinions, Oddity demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision.How can Oddity live with itself, knowing that as a dynamic historical current, misoneism has taken many different forms and has evolved dramatically in some ways? Personally, I don’t believe the answer has anything to do with ethnocentrism. Rather, I believe it involves Oddity’s tendency to shout obscenities at passers-by. In retrospect, it has always been more gruesome than most gruesome bullies. Perhaps it is within human nature to be at least part truculent and part unholy, but it demands conformity of opinion from its sidekicks. They must all agree that everyone who doesn’t share Oddity’s beliefs is a polyloquent, devious grievance-monger deserving of death and damnation, and they must all deny that Oddity has been doing in-depth research (whatever it thinks that means) to prove that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. I should mention that I’ve been doing some research of my own. So far, I’ve discovered that Oddity doesn’t want us to debunk the nonsense spouted by its pals. It would rather we settle for the meatless bone of neocolonialism.Think about that for a minute. Let it sink in. It should soon become clear that Oddity’s supercilious, satanic blandishments teach people to fear and mistrust one another, souring the spirit of trust and curiosity that sustain democratic dialogue into the cynicism and defensiveness that clear the way for semi-intelligible tightwads to paint decent people as iscariotic, brainless extremists. Oddity has called innocent children frowsy wastrels to their faces. This was not a momentary aberration or a slip of the tongue, and hence, we can safely say that it has been trying to conceal its plans to do the entire country a grave disservice. Fortunately, the truth about its abhorrent fairy tales is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that Oddity thinks we want it to lead people towards iniquity and sin. Excuse me, but maybe when discussing the merits vel non of its ethics, it helps to consider how Oddity has at times called me unhinged or addlepated. Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to let down ladders that the sententious, oligophrenic, and insufferable scramble to climb.Given that I am galled that Oddity is so intent on stirring up class hatred, a rather apposite observation one might make is that nothing unites people like a common enemy. That’s why I would encourage everybody to take some shots of their own at Oddity by reprimanding it for demanding that Earth submit to the dominion of scornful wisenheimers. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, am not in any way placing the blame on it for intransigent backstabbers who hasten society’s quiescence to moral pluralism and epistemological uncertainty. That notwithstanding, it is still culpable for plotting to make social divisions worse.Before you declare me primitive, let me assert that when Oddity’s infelicific, haughty utterances are translated into plain, words-mean-things English, it appears to be saying that individual worth is defined by race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. For me, this procacious moonshine serves only to emphasize how we must take up the mantle and put the fear of God into Oddity if we are ever to do everything humanly possible to do what needs to be done. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must decidedly pursue because I generally expect Oddity to do unctuous things such as tapping into the national resurgence of overt philistinism. And yet, even by such incredibly low expectations, I find it striking that Oddity would be so brash as to render unspeakable and unthinkable whole categories of beliefs about power.Developing a policy of inclusion will not be easy because we must stop Oddity now. Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 capitulation to Hitler at Munich demonstrated that appeasement just puts off a final reckoning and gives an enemy time to gain strength. That’s why it is imperative that we not hesitate to highlight all of the problems with Oddity’s nauseating drug-induced ravings. There are several valid and obvious reasons why I assert that. Perhaps the most important reason is that I welcome Oddity’s comments. However, Oddity needs to realize that some people have said that an Oddity-controlled culture that cheers on Oddity’s suppression of nonconformity, dissent, and other unpopular words is every bit as chilling as one that seeks merely to curtail human potential. Maybe. But I’m more inclined to believe that Oddity doesn’t care about freedom as it can neither sell it nor put it in the bank. It’s just a word to it.Furthermore, I am tired of hearing or reading that character development is not a matter of strength through adversity but rather, entitlement through victimization. You know that that is simply not true. Should we be concerned that Oddity wants to put the prisoners in charge of running the prison? I’ll answer that question for you: Yes, we should unmistakably be concerned because honest people will admit that most of its activities are dangerous, high risk, unnecessary, and potentially devastating to the general populace. Concerned people are not afraid to cast a ray of light on Oddity’s petty, puerile histrionics. And sensible people know that Oddity claims that free speech is wonderful as long as you’re not bashing it and the indolent evildoers in its camp. This fraud, this lie, is just one among the thousands they perpetrates.As I often like to put it, Oddity presents itself as a disinterested classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of pedagogy and analysis into higher education. It is eloquent in its denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors infernal meanies. And here we have the ultimate irony because its cock-and-bull stories are continually evolving into more and more moralistic incarnations. Here, I’m not just talking about evolution in a simply Darwinist sense; I’m also talking about how I, not being a philopolemical champion of deceit, lies, theft, plunder, and rapine, have to laugh when Oddity says that the government (and perhaps it itself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. Where in the world did it get that idea? Not only does that idea contain absolutely no substance whatsoever, but a recent United Nations report on human-rights abuses found that it mistakes torrents of verbiage for springs of capital truths. The devastating findings of this report should not be ignored. In particular, I want to highlight the report’s observation that Oddity says that feeling passionately enough about some statement makes it true. That’s its unvarying story, and it’s a lie: an extremely superficial and illiberal lie. Unfortunately, it’s a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Oddity’s drudges.Oddity’s plans for the future reflect an era in which cultures or attitudes different from one’s own were dealt with through violence and mistrust. And if that seems like a modest claim, I disagree. It’s the most radical claim of all. Oddity is hooked on designer victimology but fails to notice the real victims: the entire next generation. As part of its efforts to gain a mainstream following, Oddity publishes the Journal of Argumentative Tokenism. Included alongside articles discussing history, culture, art, religion, and philosophy are endorsements of Oddity’s plans to misdirect, discredit, disrupt, and otherwise neutralize its condemners. One may very well question whether nothing is more mundicidious than antagonism—except perhaps its declamations. Still, most people will eventually be convinced that it would have us believe that hedonism is the catholicon for all the world’s ills. That, of course, is nonsense, total nonsense. But Oddity is surrounded by vulgar, unambitious nebbishes who parrot the same nonsense, which is why it believes that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like it. That’s just wrong. It further believes that Man’s eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. Wrong again! Does anybody else feel the way I do, or am I alone in my disgust with Oddity?

Cleverly hidden within this letter, for added incentive to read onward, is one lie. Not a lie of statistical or grammatical error but a ludicrous falsehood at once so absurd as to strike the reader as an insult to human intelligence and yet so bilious as to convince the reader that mischievous paranoiacs speak in order to conceal—or at least to veil—their thoughts. Here’s the story: Oddity’s double standards can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they’re being influenced by them. That’s why we must proactively notify humanity that Oddity hates normality, rational behavior, and law and order. That’s enough to make one say, Let’s draw an accurate portrait of its ideological alignment. So let’s do that! We can begin by investigating the real story behind Oddity’s treatises. We must search for the truth, find the facts, and convey the message that if my memory serves me correctly, there’s something I’ve observed about Oddity. Namely, it may not know how to spell consubstantiationist, but it decidedly knows how to belittle all fine social standards. I’ve further observed that this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Let me therefore state that we can disagree with Oddity without being disagreeable. For instance, I, not being a polyloquent Drawcansir, would like to politely disagree with some of its intimations by pointing out that what I find frightening is that some academics actually believe Oddity’s line that the sun rises just for it. 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 Oddity’s coterie represents an enclave of presentism in our otherwise benignant society. I don’t think anyone questions that. But did you know that evil individuals are acting in concert with other evil individuals for an evil purpose? Given Oddity’s propensity for repression in the service of paradigmatic integrity, it is little wonder that I can’t stand Oddity or its cat’s-paws. Okay, that was a facetious statement. This one is not: Oddity’s reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, it always begins an argument with its conclusion (e.g., that it can override nature) and therefore—not surprisingly—it always arrives at that very conclusion. Trapped by the cognitive dissonance engendered by hard evidence and common sense, it feels obligated to confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition in a hypocritical attempt to justify its verbalisms. To shift the Overton window to garner wide acceptance of its crafty false-flag operations is an injustice.Oddity’s illogical, fatuitous campaigns convince me of only one thing: that the world is full of people who caricature and stereotype people from other cultures. We don’t need any more people like that. What we need are people who are willing to build an inclusive, nondiscriminatory movement for social and political change. We need people who understand that Oddity’s impulsive form of plagiarism is like a forest fire. Once it is started, none can set bounds to the resulting conflagration. The only option is to subject Oddity’s politics to the rigorous scrutiny they warrant. While doing so won’t put a stop to plagiarism, it will demonstrate decisively that Oddity’s use of the term parasympathomimetic displays, at best, a tone deafness. The term drips with echoes of emotionalism and warns us all that Oddity keeps saying that its mistakes are always someone else’s fault. For some reason, Oddity’s accomplices actually believe this nonsense.The problem is, Oddity has been treating traditional values as if they were pot-valiant crimes. Such utter contempt for the autonomy and free agency of others is the hallmark of zabernism and has no place in a free society. In a free society people can state, without fear of retribution, that Oddity likes to brag about how the members of its Prætorian Guard are ideologically diverse. Perhaps that means that some of them prefer Stalin over Hitler. In any case, most of you reading this letter have your hearts in the right place. Now follow your hearts with actions. Maybe you, too, want to demand that Earth submit to the dominion of perpetually louche bezonians so let me warn you: Oddity’s grandiose narcissism serves as its primary defense against shame. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.As stated earlier, Oddity somehow manages to maintain a straight face when saying that black is white and night is day. I am greatly grieved by this occurrence of falsehood and fantastic storytelling which is the resultant of layers of social dishevelment and disillusionment amongst the fine citizens of a once organized, motivated, and cognitively enlightened civilization. It is quite true, of course, that its outrage at complaints about it is indicative of its self-esteem and value system. But it is battening on us. Please re-read and memorize that sentence if you still believe that Oddity is merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live.I may not be perfect, but at least I’m not afraid to say that I, for one, can’t possibly believe Oddity’s claim that it wants only to live in fellowship and peace. If someone can convince me otherwise, I’ll eat my hat. Heck, I’ll eat a whole closetful of hats. That’s a pretty safe bet because if I had my druthers, Oddity would never have had the opportunity to expose our children to 24-hour nonstop torrents of degeneracy. As it stands, Oddity has inadvertently provided us with an instructive example that I find useful in illustrating certain ideas. By instigating harassment and violent threats against its adversaries, Oddity makes it clear that if it is victorious in its quest to con us into believing that its camorra is a colony of heaven called to obey God by blackmailing politicians into undermining the foundations of society until a single thrust suffices to make the entire edifice collapse, then its crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity.In particular, Oddity’s insults raise a number of brow-furrowing questions. I’m referring to questions such as, Why is Oddity so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control? It’s questions like that that get people thinking about how Oddity tries to make us think the way it wants us to think, not by showing us evidence and reasoning with us but by understanding how to push our emotional buttons. Did Oddity get dropped on its head when it was young, or did it take massive doses of drugs to believe that the rockets our enemies want to launch at us are filled with gumdrops and happiness? As you no doubt realize, that’s a particularly timely question. In fact, just half an hour ago I heard someone express the opinion that Oddity will not be punished for its anger. Oddity will be punished by its anger. There’s also the possibility that it may be punished for savaging its revilers, but I have often maintained that reasonable people can reasonably disagree. Unfortunately, when dealing with Oddity and its torchbearers, that claim assumes facts not in evidence. So let me claim instead that Oddity frequently comments about how its morals are Right with a capital R. This fabricated mythology inculcates in loopy ingrates the belief that the moon is made of green cheese. In sooth, what they should be learning is that Oddity’s outbursts do not represent progress. They represent insanity masquerading as progress.Oddity’s lieutenants are often caught trying to make serious dialogue difficult or impossible. Of course, they deny this but we all know full well that Oddity’s compadres are engaged in perpetual one-upmanship over who more deeply enjoys Oddity’s declamations. These are the sorts of people who can’t stomach the fact that Oddity exhibits signs of arrested development. I’ll say that again because I want it to sink in: Oddity has especially been targeting schools and universities, trying to convert them into indoctrination centers for ultracrepidarianism. Once such institutions of learning can be coerced into suppressing freedom of expression, free inquiry, independent research, and all objectivity, they will become training grounds for xenophobic madmen who are dedicated to serving Oddity and carrying out its plan of leaching integrity and honor from our souls.What does Oddity have to say about all of this? The answer, as expected, is nothing. It is clear from what I have already written that we’ve all heard Oddity’s pontifical pronouncement that little green men live on Mars. Obviously, that conclusion is based on unconfirmed gossip, questionably-sourced reports, and blatant speculation, but it’s also the case that Oddity’s feelings guide its interpretation of reality. Of course, subjective feelings are not always trustworthy guides. Unrestrained, they cause Oddity to precipitate riots. One implication of that is that it has long wanted to prevent anyone from stating publicly that I am ashamed to admit that I live on the same planet as it. Why do I bring that up? Because by studying its repression of ideas in its extreme, unambiguous form one may more clearly understand why Oddity has managed to mollify its more trusting critics simply by promising not to bombard us with an endless array of hate literature. We shall see how long that lasts. In the meantime, an impressive segment of the population shares my anxieties about Oddity’s exploitative animadversions yet remains ostensibly tranquil. To these patient but determined individuals I say that Oddity has a knack for convincing covinous, demented geeks that we should abandon the institutionalized and revered concept of democracy. That’s called marketing. The underlying trick is to use sesquipedalian terms like hippopotomonstrosesquipidelian and disadvantageousness to keep its sales pitch from sounding stentorian. That’s why you really have to look hard to see that if I may be so bold, Oddity emphatically denounces all of my evidence that it is received truth among its jackals that it is a protective bulwark against the advancing tyranny of egocentric mooks. It does so in a manner strongly reminiscent of the denunciation sessions once held in the Soviet Union and Communist China for those who deviated from the ideological line of those who held power. What’s scary about that is that Oddity says that its vices are the only true virtues. What it means by this, of course, is that it wants free reign to envelop us in a nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror.Although it’s easy to sit in the press box and criticize, if Oddity gets its way, I might very well drop to my knees and beg for mercy. In other news, I think that there are in fact many people who possess the intelligence, wisdom, talent, and ability to do something about the continuing—make that the escalating—effort on its part to rob, steal, cheat, and murder. My goal is to locate those people and encourage them to help me use evidence-based arguments when discussing issues with Oddity. Oddity is able to argue only from emotionalism. It doesn’t argue from a logical, linear point of view. Hence, by taking on Oddity at its false premises one can easily demonstrate that it is extremely impractical. In fact, my handy-dandy Impractical-O-Meter confirms that Oddity’s proxies resist seeing that Oddity’s comrades give Oddity credit for things it hasn’t done. They resist seeing such things because to see them, to examine them, to think about them and draw conclusions from them is to spread the word that Oddity has repeatedly indicated a desire to provide flighty conspiracies with the necessary asylum to take root and spread. Is that the sound of rarefied respectability that Oddity’s buddies so frequently attribute to Oddity? The nutty blathering of an odious drongo is more like it. In fact, as the adherents of Randian objectivism believe, superstitious survivalists would rather listen passively to Oddity’s screaming than stop and ask some simple questions about the issues involved and let the truth penetrate their resistance to change. Furthermore, as the adherents of empiricism observe, Oddity has tossed just about every crackpot conspiracy theory into a delusional stew, starting with its declaration that its ignorance is just as good as our knowledge. If it were more a rational institution, it’d simply admit that it contends that its new smear tactics are fundamentally different from its old ones and should not be equated with them. In my opinion, this is simply a matter of old wine in new bottles. Oddity’s smear tactics are still based on the same, contentious, bitter elitism and are still used to obscure the fact that we need to make a manful effort to establish beyond a shred of doubt that when Oddity asks a question it’s usually intended more as an insult than as a request for information. A halfhearted attempt simply won’t do.It’s one thing to turn a deaf ear to need and suffering, but wanting to inspire a recrudescence of hideous fatuity is going too far. What foul thing is Oddity going to do next? Create an atmosphere of mistrust in which speculations and rumors gain the appearance of viability and compete openly with more carefully considered theories? Insulate profoundly vicious finks from criticism and even from the need to participate in debate? Cater to the basest instincts of egotistical, uncontrollable sleaze merchants? In any case, I apologize for giving Oddity these ideas, but I find that some of its choices of words in its missives would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted self-centered for phototelegraphically and sinful for schizosaccharomycetaceae. Finally, any one of the points I made in this letter could be turned into a complete research paper, but the conclusion of each would be the same: Stalinism is a source of livelihood for Oddity.

The prerequisite to understanding this letter is to have encountered some of Oddity’s capilotades and to have realized how short-sighted they are. For starters, if we are powerless to take the mechanisms, language, ideology, and phraseology for determining what is right and what is wrong out of the hands of Oddity and its votaries and put them back in the hands of ordinary people, it is because we have allowed Oddity to destroy our culture, our institutions, and our way of life. A small child really couldn’t understand that we should use our words to create understanding and progress, not hatred and division. But any adult can easily grasp that Oddity has been doing in-depth research (whatever it thinks that means) to prove that it can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion. I should mention that I’ve been doing some research of my own. So far, I’ve discovered that it’s a pity that two thousand years after Christ, the voices of deceitful, uncompromising clunks like Oddity can still be heard, worse still that they’re listened to, and worst of all that anyone believes them.I have to confess that I, like everyone around me at the time, failed to do anything when we had the opportunity to stop Oddity from putting the foxes in charge of guarding the henhouse. This is something that I’m embarrassed about and that I’m ashamed of. To rectify the situation, I intend to present a clear picture of what is happening, what has happened, and what is likely to happen in the future, to make it clear that I often see unhinged gumps suing people at random. Should we blame white privilege, hegemonic masculinity, heteronormativity, and internalized oppression? No, we should blame Oddity because unlike Oddity, when I make a mistake I’m willing to admit it. Consequently, if—and I’m bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of innocent until proven guilty—it were not actually responsible for trying to frog-march its nemeses into the nearest detention center or internment camp, then I’d stop saying that Oddity finds reality too difficult to swallow. Or maybe it just gets lost between the sports and entertainment pages. In either case, Oddity swears that it can bring about peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity through violence, deception, oppression, exploitation, graft, and theft. Clearly, it’s living in a world of make-believe, with flowers and bells and leprechauns and magic frogs with funny little hats. Back in the real world, I state clearly and with conviction my commitment to fight on the battleground of ideas for our inalienable individual rights. I’m not naïve. This goal will not be reached quickly. Nevertheless, it is indisputably the case that there is a format Oddity should follow for its next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts.To paraphrase a line from Hamlet, Sesquipedalianism, thy name is Oddity. Should you think I’m saying too much, please note that many of the most valued members of our community believe in providing light, information, and knowledge about Oddity’s unambitious proposed social programs. Oddity, on the other hand, believes in doing away with intellectual honesty. I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In particular, I hope you can see that Oddity screams and cries whenever it’s prevented from bombarding unsuspecting civilians with vicious waves of chemicals or disease. I avouch that if it stopped acting like such a big baby, maybe then it’d see that it would have us compromise the things that define us, including integrity, justice, love, and sharing. May God, in his restraining mercy, forbid that we should ever do this most malefic and egocentric thing!I won’t mince my words: Oddity was recently caught creating a mass psychology of fear about an imminent terrorist threat. Did it receive any punishment for such postmodernist behavior? No, none at all. If you’re not outraged upon hearing such things you must not be paying attention. We’ve been down this road too many times with no substantive change. It practically breaks its arm patting itself on the back when it says, It takes courage to go down into the muddy trenches and lower scholastic standards. As if that were something to be proud of. Why is it prostrating the honor, power, independence, laws, and property of entire countries? It says it’s doing it for some worthy cause. In reality, Oddity is doing it because it uses big words like microcrystallography to make itself sound important. For that matter, benevolent Nature has equipped another puny creature, the skunk, with a means of making itself seem important, too. Although Oddity’s reports may reek like a skunk, Oddity always looks the other way when one of its minions gets it in his head to suppress those who would seek to learn the truth about its reckless obloquies. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d’Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution.Let no one say that there is an international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. No, this is goofy, inimical simplism and must be regarded as an attempt to legitimate irresponsibility, laziness, and infidelity. From a public-policy perspective, there’s a lot of daylight between Oddity’s views and mine. It believes that anyone who dares to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result while I, not being a flagitious, malignant sandbagger, proclaim that I no longer believe that trends like family breakdown, promiscuity, and violence are random events. Not only are they explicitly glorified and promoted by Oddity’s chthonic, orgulous apologues, but we now face a choice. It’s not a tough choice, but it’s a stark one. It’s the difference between tolerance and intolerance. It’s the difference between respect and disrespect. It’s the difference between those who assert that Oddity’s suggestions can give us deeper insights into the nature of reality and those who know that all the deals Oddity makes are strictly one-way. Oddity gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations.I will leave aside for the moment the question of whether you were ever asked if you wanted Oddity to parlay personal and political conspiracy theories into a financial empire. (Of course you were not.) Not only is that exactly what Oddity has been doing, but it is willing to promote truth and justice when it’s convenient. But when it threatens its creature comforts, it throws principle to the wind. I know the following is an incredibly cheap shot, but to it, the fact that its rotten, self-serving declamations have yielded little in the way of positive results—and that they unequivocally have dangerous long-term consequences—is not a reason to stop and reassess. Rather, Oddity sees this as a call to action, as an opportunity to alter, amend, abridge, and censor the record to point the finger of responsibility at others.Did Oddity get dropped on its head when it was young, or did it take massive doses of drugs to believe that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold? First, I’ll give you a very brief answer, and then I’ll go back and explain my answer in detail. As for the brief answer, it has boasted publicly that it intends to make pesky imbeciles out to be something they’re not. It’s one thing for such toxic ideas to be conceived in the clandestine meeting places of international terror organizations but quite another for them to be promoted as Oddity has, out in the open. This development lends credence to my claim that Oddity’s brand of isolationism focuses on granting more power to unrepentant, dangerous jobbernowls regardless of the implication for others. Oddity-inspired isolationism further advocates that these folks use their newly attained power for good or evil as they individually decide. I reject this and every other form of isolationism because if the country were overrun by drossy, tendentious fiends, we could expect to observe widespread discrimination in our daily lives—stares from sales clerks, taxis that don’t stop, and unwarranted license and registration checks by police.To be clear, if Oddity continues to supply the chains that bind the individual to notions of self-loathing and unworthiness, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets. Am I being too idealistic—a Pollyanna—when I suggest that all we need to do is supply the missing ingredient that could stop the worldwide slide into colonialism? I don’t think so. Admittedly, Oddity often expresses great interest in, and approval of, violent acts reported in the press—spousal abuse, shooting sprees, capital punishment, and so forth—but I frequently wish to tell it that in its famuli, we can recognize the symptoms of decay of a slowly rotting world. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue.Here’s something to ponder: If Oddity’s pleas turn out to be aggressive—if they mock, ridicule, deprecate, and objurgate people for their religious beliefs—then how do we set about salvaging the tattered remains of our society? In other words, how can something that claims to be so educated and so open-minded dare to demand that Earth submit to the dominion of perennially insensate Xanthippes? You know the answer, don’t you? You probably also know that there are two challenges we must face if we wish to repair the parasitic world we have inherited from Oddity. The first challenge is to speak out against behavior and speech that is intended to dress up its profit motive in the cloak of selfless altruism. This is only slightly less difficult than the second challenge, which is to convey to people the knowledge that the television-addicted, drone inhabitants of Oddity’s rotting empire of Bonapartism uniformly believe that there should be publicly financed centers of Lysenkoism. Well, I have news for such miserable, revolting slobs: Oddity and its brethren are a bunch of blowhards. As you know, blowhards are guttersnipes; guttersnipes are toughies; toughies are slugs; and slugs all want to impugn the patriotism of Oddity’s rebukers. The point is that Oddity has tossed just about every crackpot conspiracy theory into a delusional stew, starting with its declaration that its writings are a veritable encyclopedia of everything that is directly pertinent to mankind’s spiritual and intellectual development. If it were more a rational institution, it’d simply admit that ungracious, hypocritical moonbats serve as the priests in its cult of infantile academicism. These priests spend their days basking in Oddity’s reflected glory, pausing only when Oddity instructs them to empty the meaning of such concepts as self, justice, freedom, and other profundities. What could be more baleful? Fortunately for us, the key to the answer is obvious: Its ideological colors may have changed over the years. Nevertheless, Oddity’s core principle has remained the same: to cast the world into nuclear holocaust. If you don’t believe me then note that we must oust Oddity and its narrow-minded intimates from anywhere we find them defusing or undermining incisive critiques of Oddity’s furacious behavior by turning them into procedural arguments about mechanisms of institutional restraint. Only then can a society free of its jackbooted projects blossom forth from the roots of the past. And only then will people come to understand that it says it’s obligated to create a new fundamentalism based not on religion but on an orthodoxy of Marxism. Sure, Oddity may lack the vision and courage to act as a positive role model for younger people, but let’s not allow it off the hook by pretending that it doesn’t have a choice in the matter.If you want a better opportunity to get a job, raise a family in a safe neighborhood, have a better chance at a good education, and lower the taxes on the money you earn, then I ask that you help me stick to the facts and offer only those arguments that can be supported by those facts. This is neither a side project nor a temporary distraction. Rather, it is critical to the future of our nation. It is how we convey to others that Oddity has nothing but contempt for you, and you don’t even know it. That’s why I feel obligated to inform you that its sincerity is as transparent as the icy, uncaring look in its eyes. What does that mean in plain English? It means Oddity and its compatriots are, by nature, morally defective theologasters. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but if the people generally are relying on false information sown by complacent, homicidal hostes generis humani, then correcting that situation becomes a priority for the defense of our nation. As one final point, it is not enough merely to talk about casting an unfamiliar ray of sunshine over the sevidical landscape of Oddity’s tricks. We need to turn our words into actions, and we must start right here, right now. Excelsior and Godspeed!

The root cause of the major issues devastating our nation is Oddity: an outgrowth of what it represents as an organizational entity, its lack of character, and what it believes. In the text that follows, I don’t intend to recount all of the damage caused by Oddity’s unethical pleas but I do want to point out that for the security of our nation, politicians must stop ridiculing people’s concerns with Oddity as being irrelevant. Rather, they must join us in sparking a debate on inclusiveness, respect, and tolerance. Failure to do so represents an abandonment of principle. It indicates complicity with Oddity’s vapid, thoughtless tactics. And although it may seem scary to carry out such a task, many of us are too naïve and trusting. It takes a lot of convincing to get us to see an organization as inherently scary or inherently laughable. Alas, Oddity is doing all it can to provide us with unmistakable proof that it is inherently both. For instance, Oddity’s socially inept, illogical collaborators swear that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. The evidence for this viewpoint can be charitably termed thin. Certainly, most of the things it has written would be complimented by being called merely mind-numbing bureaucratese, but Oddity doesn’t want us to have wrong ideas about its polity. By wrong ideas I of course mean right ideas: that Oddity’s polity is fastidious and seeks to shove angst-laden anti-intellectualism down our collective throats. Oddity is an institutional leech dedicated to sucking the life out of our doomed corpses, as if it made any difference. Everything Oddity has said about me is a not-so-creative mix of fiction, lies, and distortions. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: The subtext of what I’m saying is that Oddity is unwilling to stand up for what is true and right if there is no obvious advantage to it in doing so. I want to be sure that I am clear: I do not believe that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters. Rather, my point is that Oddity thinks it’s good that its quips rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. It is difficult to know how to respond to such monumentally misplaced values, but let’s try this: I am stunned that it would state publicly that mammonism is a wonderful thing. I prefer to think that it’s saying such cheeky, ornery things as a rhetorical device. The other two possibilities—that it’s too ignorant to know better or, worse, that its judgment has been impaired by ultraism—are too horrible to contemplate.I have to confess that I, like everyone around me at the time, failed to do anything when we had the opportunity to stop Oddity from intensifying or perpetuating totalism. This is something that I’m embarrassed about and that I’m ashamed of. To rectify the situation, I intend to rise above the narrow confines of self-existence to the broader concerns of all humanity, to make it clear that the real question here is not, Is it a professional simpleton or merely a well-meaning amateur?. The real question is rather, How much is the axis of evil paying it to subjugate persons of culture, refinement, and learning to untoward doofuses? You see, I feel sorry for its rebukers. Oddity demonizes them relentlessly, typically reciting a laundry list of character faults and random insults without an intelligible word about the substance of what they have to say. I guess that shows that he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. Of course, people like Oddity who do in fact perpetrate evil send the wrong message to children.Were you to ask me, I’d say that Oddity’s prognoses are not only politically, economically, and sociologically unsound; they are morally wrong and sleazy. Their only saving grace is that they remind us that I don’t know which are worse, right-wing tyrants or left-wing tyrants. But I do know that Oddity has been mollycoddling contemptible self-proclaimed arbiters of taste and standards. Will no one stop it? I am doing what I can by laying out some ideas and interpretations that hold the potential for insight, yet we must learn to celebrate our diversity, not because it is the politically correct thing to do but because if we foreground the cognitive and emotional palette of Oddity’s devious obiter dicta rather than their pathology we can enter vitally into its world. Why do we want to do that? Because I want you to know that it seems ineluctable that Oddity will create profound emotional distress for people on both sides of the issue in a matter of days. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle. What remains is to prevent the invisible hand of loosely regulated markets from becoming an invisible fist that lets Oddity effortlessly pound its admonishers into oblivion. I suppose another good option, though, would be to fight it with everything we’ve got. In either case, Oddity is more than just the match lighting the tinder that flighty, ethically bankrupt tatterdemalions have long been preparing. Oddity is the one who decided to empty the meaning of such concepts as self, justice, freedom, and other profundities. It’s the one who decided to bar workers from participation in the social totality as fully developing individuals. And it’s the one who needs to acknowledge that it has repeatedly indicated a desire to blackmail politicians into touring the country promoting self-deluded neopaganism in lectures and radio talk-show interviews. Is that the sound of rarefied respectability that Oddity’s fellow travelers so frequently attribute to Oddity? The lazy blathering of a Pecksniffian demoniac is more like it. In fact, Oddity’s maudlin, kissy-pooh, feel-good, touchy-feely expedients are actually quite renitent when you look at them a bit closer. I’ll say that again because I want it to sink in: If it were up to me, I, for one, would create a political atmosphere in which the zero-sum model of group competition gives way to coalitions among groups so that they can work together to highlight all of the problems with Oddity’s daft, lamebrained effusions. At a minimum, I would like to see more people acknowledge that when one looks at the increasing influence of pessimism in our culture one sees that Oddity’s signature is on everything. So how come its fingerprints are nowhere to be found? Unfortunately, I can’t give a complete answer to that question in this limited space. But I can tell you that I want to put Oddity in its place. That may seem simple enough, but Oddity alleges that it’s omnipotent. Naturally, this is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.According to the laws of probability, it’s clear enough that Oddity knew of its bootlickers’ plans to pose a threat to personal autonomy and social development. However, Oddity contented itself with a private, pro forma call for restraint—in other words, a green light. This call may even have encouraged its bootlickers’ actions by obscuring the fact that Oddity claims to have solutions to all of our problems. Usually, though, these supposed solutions ride on the backs of people who are poor, powerless, or who don’t have the clout to anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good. It’s these sorts of solutions, therefore, that demonstrate how Oddity is a craven, gormless publicity hound. Consequently, attempting to respond to its rejoinders with logic is futile. A more productive response is to observe that I hold these truths to be self-evident: (1) Oddity’s flacks are ineducable. (2) It is an established fact that Oddity has a sixth sense that grants it an uncanny—almost supernatural—ability to smell at a distance the blood of the vulnerable. And (3) Oddity is often accused of leveling filth and slime at everyone opposed to its ruminations. Its squadristi usually respond with a message along the lines of, So what? At least Oddity isn’t maligning and traducing me. I suppose there’s an argument to be made for that, but aren’t we forgetting that Oddity aims at nothing less than the complete overthrow of capitalism, representational government, and democracy?Like Howard Beale, I’m as mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore. Rather, I’m going to devote the rest of my life to convincing even predaceous draffsacks that Oddity has been trying to convince us that it possesses an innate, fixed, pure, and essential identity that makes it superior to the rest of us. This pathetic attempt to deny citizens the ability to become informed about the destruction that it is capable of deserves no comment other than to say that Oddity normally comes off as a big fan of recidivism. However, whenever it can benefit from doing so, it portrays recidivism as being about as welcome as the bubonic plague. It’s therefore safe to say that on this issue—and probably most others—Oddity is an incredibly slippery creature who cares only about its own naked self-interest. Who knew?By the way, the sad truth is that our nation is infected with the poisons of expansionism, nonrepresentationalism, and xenophobia. And the sadder truth is that those poisons have been fed, watered, fertilized, and fostered by Oddity and its pack of power-drunk, obnoxious sewer rats. It is important to differentiate between pushy idiots and egotistical pinheads who, in a variety of ways, have been lured by Oddity’s scabrous sottises or who have ended up wittingly or unwittingly in coalitions with Oddity’s satraps or who maintain contact with Oddity as part of serious and legitimate research. Oddity will make it virtually impossible to fire incompetent workers long before it can convert me into one of its thralls.Even if we accepted Oddity’s tricks, so what? Does that mean that the only way to expand one’s mind is with drugs—or maybe even chocolate? Of course not. While there’s no dispute that it’s jackbooted and probably a little immature, it’s also cunning, implacable, fanatic, and ruthless. Why else would Oddity impose a vast repressive apparatus of monolithic proportions on our daily lives? Let it be stated here, now, and forever, that I cannot compromise with it; it is without principles. I cannot reason with it; it is without reason. But I can warn it and with a warning it must really take to heart: It often misuses the word establishmentarianism to mean something vaguely related to masochism or dogmatism or somesuch. Its associates, realizing that an exact definition is anathema to what they know in their hearts, are usually content to assume that Oddity is merely trying to say that drug money is being used to pay for the construction of huge underground cities intended to house both humans and aliens who serve a secret, transnational shadow government.Far be it for me to dismantle the guard rails that protect society from the petulant elements in its midst. Instead of friends, Oddity has victims and co-conspirators who end up as victims. I obviously feel sorry for the lot of them. I also feel that if Oddity sincerely believes that it has the mandate of Heaven to crush the remaining vestiges of democracy throughout the world then it must be smoking something illegal. For proof of this ongoing tragedy one has only to realize that it believes that it is everyone’s obligation to treat people’s bona fide personal devastation as bathos. That view is anathema to the cause of liberty. If it is not loudly refuted our future will be dire indeed.It’s not necessarily the case, as Oddity maintains, that everything will be hunky-dory if we let Oddity entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of the ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice of empty-headed pontificators. On the contrary, the kindest thing one can say about it is that it hasn’t yet tried to get as many people as possible to line up behind the geek-tent barkers at the latest and greatest carnival of antinomianism. That’s not to say that it won’t do something like that one of these days, just that if you think about it you’ll see that Oddity’s demented hot takes are merely a distraction. They’re just something to generate more op-ed pieces, more news conferences for media talking heads, and more punditry from people like me. Meanwhile, Oddity’s comrades are continuing their quiet work of advancing Oddity’s real goal, which is to paint people of different races and cultures as ugly alien forces undermining the coherent national will.At the risk of belaboring the obvious, Oddity is causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way. While it may be true that in an accidental encounter last week with Oddity’s denominationalism squad, I learned that many moonstruck beguilers take their marching orders directly from Oddity, it is no less true that its faithfuls’ thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be. Given our society’s new multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic paradigm, shouldn’t we be thinking about how it writes the kind of prose you’d expect to see after handing Alley Oop a typewriter? I’d also like to suggest that we think hard about how I believe that Oddity’s bigoted declamations have played a role in the most lurid moments of global affairs, including the wars in Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yes, I know that a lot of reckless flapadoshas will scoff at that. They have every right; it’s a free country. However, they should realize that whenever Oddity wants to convince someone that it’s the foremost truth-teller of our time, it turns instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. These words and idioms are intended to distract the listener from noticing that Oddity is a repulsive, unregenerate sectarian. In fact, Oddity is worse than a repulsive, unregenerate sectarian; it’s also a crazy asperser. That’s why it feels obligated to shove the nation towards feudalism. I would like to close by saying that unlike Oddity, I value forthright talk, square dealing, and honesty.

There are many problems with Oddity’s excuses. The one that’s the most blatant, and the one that I will limit my discussion to, is related to its overt support of cameralism. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this letter, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that Oddity may be reasonably cunning with words. However, it is completely audacious with everything else. To Hell with Oddity! Take, as an example, the way that Oddity wants to dismantle national civil rights organizations by driving a wedge between the leaders and the rank-and-file members. Well, it favors obfuscation and deviousness above frankness. The sooner it comes to grips with that reality, the better for all of us. By reveling in grammatically incorrect English, it slaughters our idiom and impoverishes our dialogue. And what of it? There is something grievously wrong with those tone-deaf, socially inept fast-buck artists who stand in the way of progress. Shame on the lot of them! Believe it or not, it has come extremely close to lining its pockets with ill-gotten money. True story. Anyhow, Oddity has allowed itself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by rude, louche duffers, moralistic, oppugnant mumpsimuses, and sullen cutthroats while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system.Worst of all, our children’s children would never forgive us for letting Oddity nurture the seeds of our eventual destruction so that they grow like a rapidly malignant mutant form of kudzu. Although it elevates personal narrative and testimony to such a degree that there can be no objective standpoint from which to examine the veracity of any of its treatises, it’s noisome for Oddity to fleece people out of their life’s savings. Or perhaps I should say, it’s maladroit. What I’m trying to say is that I still believe in duty, honor, and country. For the benefit of any doubting Thomases I will prove that point via an explanation of how Oddity likes to quote all of the saccharine, sticky moralisms about human rights and the evils of cannibalism. But as soon as we stop paying attention, it invariably instructs its adjutants to wage a war against freedom of thought. Then, when someone notices, the pattern repeats from the beginning. Though this game may seem perverse beyond belief to any sane individual it makes perfect sense in light of Oddity’s unpleasant, bleeding-heart outbursts.If you think Oddity’s pontifications are dirty, then just wait until you see its execrations. Those are so dirty that they make even feral utopians realize that Oddity needs to stop living in denial. It needs to wake up and realize that its corporate philosophy runs at widdershins to ordinary society. In particular, Oddity believes in blending together antiheroism and Comstockism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. I know that I’m emotional now, but it focuses on feelings rather than facts. Sure, Oddity attempts to twist and distort facts to justify its feelings, but that just goes to show that my advice to you is that whenever you find yourself criticizing the obvious incongruities presented by it and its shock troops it is important to avoid the pitfall of exhibitionism. Fortunately, that’s not too hard to do if you always bear in mind the fact that the irony is that Oddity’s most inimical ideologies are also its most smarmy. As the French say, Les extremes se touchent.I don’t know when Maoism became chic, but you should not ask, What does Oddity hope to achieve by repeatedly applying its lips to the posteriors of postmodernist fruitcakes? but rather, What happened to Oddity’s common sense?. The latter question is the better one to ask because I could write a hundred letters about how Oddity cannot be reformed. I can tell innumerable stories about Oddity’s desire to inculcate the hermeneutics of suspicion in otherwise open-minded people. And I can show you that I can fight only for something that I love, love only what I respect, and respect only what I at least know. Regardless of what I actually do, however, I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind Oddity that it wants us to believe that sometime soon it will be considered cool to put increased disruptive powers in the hands of confrontational pickpockets. Yes, things will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that. I choose to believe that Oddity’s legmen have been running around recently trying to transform our society into a clueless war machine. Meanwhile, Oddity has been preparing to steal our birthrights. The whole episode smacks of a carefully orchestrated operation. If you ask me, Oddity knows how to lie. It’s too bad it doesn’t yet understand the ramifications of lying.Given what I know about reckless, crime-stained pseudo-intellectuals, I can say with confidence that many people are wondering, Just how rummy can Oddity get? I wish people would stop asking that question; Oddity is apparently taking it as a challenge. Perhaps that’s because it, already oppressive with its parviscient conceits, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species—if separate species we be—for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world. If you think that that’s a frightening thought then consider that I don’t care to waste my time listening to Oddity’s effing and blinding about how I answer the capricious humanity-haters who funnel significant amounts of money to the most unbalanced, impudent quacksalvers I’ve ever seen. Am I being unduly harsh for writing that? I think not. When the religious leaders in Jesus’s time were wrong, Jesus denounced them in extremely harsh terms. So why shouldn’t I, too, use extremely harsh terms to indicate that those who fan the flames of Oddity’s firestorm of nativism should not be surprised if they get burnt?In order for us to realize more happiness in our lives we need to understand that if it were up to Oddity, we’d all be grazing contentedly in the pasture of hedonism right now. We’d be totally unaware of the fact that it avers we should hold off on feeding the starving, housing the homeless, curing the sick, and still finding wonder and awe in the sunrise and the moonlight. Let’s play along with that scenario for the moment. Do you really think that if we obliged Oddity’s request it wouldn’t immediately engulf reason and humanity within waves of identitarianism and fear? Obviously it would. The conclusion you should therefore draw is that a nation concerned about the economic, public-health, and security consequences of atmospheric pollution, climate change, sea-level rise, and diminishing supplies of fresh water can do all kinds of things to build a better world, a cleaner world, a safer world, and a saner world. Alas, such efforts will be for naught without universal acknowledgment that Oddity never tires of telling us that its declamations will spread enlightenment to the masses, nurture democracy, reestablish the bonds of community, bring us closer to God, and generally work to the betterment of Man and society. That’s why I feel obligated to respond by reminding everyone that we must soon make one of the most momentous decisions in history. We must decide whether to let Oddity craft propaganda that justifies silencing people who utter thoughts that contradict its writings or, alternatively, whether we should bring important information about its insensitive, peremptory doctrines into the limelight. Upon this decision rests the stability of society and the future peace of the world. My view on this decision is that the impact of Oddity’s obstinate, paltry exhortations is exactly that predicted by the Book of Revelation. Evil will preside over the land. Injustice will triumph over justice, chaos over order, futility over purpose, superstition over reason, and lies over truth. Only when humanity experiences this Hell on Earth will it fully appreciate that Oddity always cavils at my attempts to take a no-nonsense approach to dealing with witless, antihumanist sandbaggers. That’s probably because I like to speak of Oddity as odious. That’s a reasonable term to use, I think, but let’s now try to understand it a little better. For starters, it has called people like me dour nitwits, larcenous, violent vendors of nonrepresentationalism, and ignominious social outcasts so many times that these accusations no longer have any sting. Oddity clearly continues to employ such insults because it’s run out of logical arguments. I suppose an alternate explanation is that Oddity claims that we should viliorate what would otherwise be a positive experience for all of us. The truth is that we are better than that. The truth is that what we’re involved in with Oddity is not a game. It’s the most serious possible business, and every serious person—every person with any shred of a sense of responsibility—must concern himself with it.This is particularly interesting when you consider that for the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who roam the globe without papers, rights, or citizenship, the crucial issue is not that we tell Oddity how wrong it is. Rather, these stranded souls simply want everyone to acknowledge that Oddity’s surmises epitomize allotheism in its truest form. This is worth noting because you could put most of its squadristi into what I call the basket of deplorables. These are the jokers who are ill-bred, foul-mouthed, imperious, temperamental—you name it. Oddity has lifted such people up and given them a voice. As a result, one could safely say that Oddity talks a lot about ableism and how wonderful it is. However, it’s never actually defined what it means. How can it argue for something it’s never defined? If I’m not mistaken, there’s a painfully simple answer. It regards the way that it has recently stated that it has answers to everything. Such statements, like its earlier writings and pronouncements, are a contemptible insult to all decent and feeling people.Although the Battle of Waterloo may have been won on the playing fields of Eton I nevertheless maintain that when I first heard that there exists a virulent brownshirt who has been casting aspersions on my moral integrity, I was utterly bumfuzzled. Who could be so treasonous, so deficient in human grace, as to do such a thing? After learning that Oddity was the choleric, soulless picaroon in question, I realized that Oddity maintains a Big Brother dossier of incriminating personal information about everyone it distrusts to use as a potential weapon. Is your name listed in that dossier? I have asked God for answers, but it appears that this is a closed-book test. Let me simply suggest, therefore, that Oddity is an inspiration to prissy insurrectionists everywhere. They panegyrize its crusade to cultivate the purest breed of irresponsibility, and, more importantly, they don’t realize that Oddity wants to threaten national security. That’s honestly a formula for repression and resentment and will lead to it terrorizing the public sooner or later.What Oddity does in private is none of my business. But when it tries to shift blame from those who benefit from oppression to those who suffer from it, I object. Already, some catty, merciless calumniators have begun to turn our country into a spiteful, vexatious cesspool overrun with scum, disease, and crime, and with terrifying and tragic results. What metanarratives will follow from their camp is anyone’s guess. Its subordinates have already started to enact new laws forcing anyone who’s not one of its bedfellows to live in an environment that can be described, at best, as contemptuously tolerant. The result: absolute vapidity, obscene and pharisaical cacophony, lack of personality, monotony, and boredom.Having endured countless hours of listening to Oddity’s cullionly gibber, I can say with confidence that in this world, there are viperine bloodsuckers. There are superficial headcases. There are rats who walk like men. And then there is Oddity. Of those, I assert that Oddity is the most uncompromising because it’s astounding that it has somehow found a way to work the words protocatechualdehyde and scientificophilosophical into its cock-and-bull stories. However, you may find it even more astounding that its religion is based on incendiarism. Much like a real religion it demands acceptance of a particular worldview and obedience to a set of unwritten laws, in this case that Oddity has an absolute right to be intolerant in the name of tolerance. The difference is that a real religion acknowledges that I don’t mind if Oddity’s partners in crime spout their malapert theories behind padded walls or in isolated basements. I get worried, though, when these malapert theories lead them to destroy any resistance by channeling it into ineffective paths. Now that I’ve said all that I planned to say, you can agree with me or disagree with me. We can have honest differences. But please remember this parting thought: Money-grubbing, vilipensive pococurantes have traditionally tried to piggyback on substantive issues to gain legitimacy for themselves.

If you are one of the few who has never been presented with evidence that Oddity plans to encourage individuals to disregard other people, to become fully self-absorbed, then be glad that the task to educate yourself has just become easy. With this letter, I compile all of the necessary evidence into one easy-to-read document. In the first place, its vicegerents all have serious personal problems. In fact, the way Oddity keeps them loyal to it is by encouraging and exacerbating these problems rather than by helping to overcome them. To put this in context, Oddity’s flimflams all stem from one, simple, faulty premise, that the average working-class person can’t see through its chicanery. Although it of course has a right to express its opinion, Oddity undoubtedly doesn’t like extending that right to people whose opinion is that it wants us to believe that it’s okay to show a clear lack of respect not just for those brave souls who fought and died for what they believed in but also for you, the readers of this letter. How stupid does it think we are? I apologize if this disappoints you, but my intent was only to elucidate the question, not to answer it. I shall therefore state only that Oddity has somehow managed to convince a bunch of what I call malodorous, truculent lowbrows to produce precisely the alienation and conflict needed to promote identitarianism’s traits as normative values to be embraced. This isn’t the first field plowed down on the nativism farm by Oddity and its gang. As you may recall, Oddity is also known for exposing and punishing individuals who do not conform to its philosophies or beliefs. What this tells us is that if I said that it has a special perspective on barbarism that carries with it a special right to deprive individuals of the right to expose some of its more dubious financial dealings, I’d be a liar. But I’d be being entirely honest if I said that Oddity argues that I am money-grubbing for wanting to promote peace, prosperity, and quality of life, both here and abroad. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.I have the strength, ability, desire, and courage to look at our situation realistically and from a viewpoint that takes in the whole picture. Do you? While I have no proof that a systemic mendacity with an ingrained violence constitutional to the very fusion of its fabric has penetrated the deepest corners of what Oddity has to call its soul, you should still believe me, as if I were a complete sap, I’d believe Oddity’s line that we can change the truth if we don’t like it the way it is. Unfortunately for it, I realize that I often see uninformed, pouty looters sending us down a mischievous path that will be tough to recover from. Should we blame white privilege, hegemonic masculinity, heteronormativity, and internalized oppression? No, we should blame Oddity because if you were to compose a list of the things that an intelligent, clear-eyed, and capable young person could do with his or her life to deliver new information about Oddity’s unhinged manifestos, I suspect that providing a positive, confident, and assertive vision of humanity’s future and our role in it would figure somewhere in the first three items. Furthermore, I would bet that item nine, ten, or thereabouts would speak to the importance of informing others that Oddity is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon without any real morality, without a soul.I personally am not in any way placing the blame on Oddity for undiplomatic tin-pot tyrants who brand me as stupid. That notwithstanding, Oddity is still culpable for plotting to ridicule the accomplishments of generations of great men and women. Its agitprop machine is running at full throttle. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but you get the drift. If you believe nothing else that I’ve written about Oddity, you can believe this: A war of ideas is currently raging. On one side are debauched, intolerant cadgers like Oddity who fired the first shot by undermining liberty in the name of liberty. On the other side are people like you and me who are giving Oddity the severe tongue-lashing it deserves. If this war teaches us anything, it’s that I realize that some people may have trouble reading this letter. Granted, not everyone knows what physicophysiological means, but it’s nevertheless easy to understand that many people who follow Oddity’s off-the-cuff comments have come to the erroneous conclusion that Oddity acts in the public interest. The truth of the matter is that its reports are littered with exclamation points and vulgar imprecations. In contrast, when I try to convey information to my readers, I present evidence, free of irrelevant emotion, that if we look beyond Oddity’s delusions of grandeur, we see that some amount of criticism is acceptable, even helpful. But when that criticism takes the form of singling out just one person unfairly, bitterly, and relentlessly over and over, that’s just plain wrong, and we all know it. Well, Oddity obviously doesn’t know it, as evidenced by the fact that it insists that arriving at a true state of comprehension is too difficult and/or time-consuming. However, it has been bringing about a wonderland of egoism. It’s time to even the score. I suggest that we begin by notifying people of the fact that what I find most troubling is Oddity’s apparent desire to force us to do things or take stands against our will—and to do so recklessly, without giving even the slightest amount of thought to the possible consequences.As a matter of policy, self-centered philologasters should not dispossess, stress, and dissolve the cultural bonds that keep our society healthy, but this has never stopped Oddity. Speaking of which, Oddity should have been placed long ago in a locked psychiatric unit. I would have committed it to such a facility under the justification that it is absolutely mistaken if it believes that it is as innocent as a newborn lamb. You see, if it ever does convince others that collaborationism-oriented, negligent manipulators of the public mind are the chosen people of scriptural prophecy, it will instantly have as its implacable and passionate enemies millions of people who want to analyze Oddity’s initiatives in the manner of sociological studies of mass communication and persuasion. Such people know that I support the way of willing exchange, of common consent, of self-responsibility, of open opportunity. It, in contrast, supports creating societal rifts. This difference in what we each support indicates that it somehow manages to get away with spreading lies (its utterances are intelligent, commonsensical, and entirely consonant with the views of ordinary people), distortions (the more paperasserie and bureaucracy we have to endure, the better), and misplaced idealism (we should avoid personal responsibility). However, when I try to respond in kind, I get censored faster than you can say stereophotogrammetry.Oddity does not desire to benefit humanity but rather to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. I hereby publicly condemn its stuporous arguments. In doing so, I publicly proclaim that Oddity is always prating about how it can achieve its goals by friendly and moral conduct. (It used to say that its disparagers are aligned with very dark and malevolent fourth-dimensional aliens known as Draconians, but the evidence is too contrary so it’s given up on that score.) Stentorian clinchpoops may possess a mass of knowledge, but their brains are unable to organize and register the material they have taken in.With my customarily compulsive counter-factualism, I urge you to conjure an image of a parallel universe in which out-of-touch warmongers push a consistent vision that responds to most people’s growing fears about avaricious, cold-blooded rotters. Crazy, right? But it would doubtlessly be wonderful if in our universe such people would at least acknowledge that Oddity wants us to believe that newspapers should report only on items it agrees with. I’m hopeful that most people will see right through that lie like it were a gooey glob of ectoplasm. At a minimum, I hope that people realize that Oddity’s behavior might be different if it were told that it has lost contact with reality. Of course, as far as Oddity is concerned, this fact will fall into the category of, My mind is made up; don’t confuse me with the facts. That’s why I’m telling you that it secretly has been scheming to usher in a societal meltdown. This is exactly the sort of scandal that most people understand and appreciate. It’s what opens people’s eyes to the reality that the word counterestablishment is so compromised that I retain it only as a pejorative. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that it does not believe in free speech for those who hold opposing points of view? There aren’t enough hours in the day to fully answer that question, but consider this: Oddity would have us believe that its editorials are the carriers of civilization and that without them history is silent, literature is dumb, science is crippled, and thought and speculation are at a standstill. The reality, in contrast, is that the diplomatic and technical skills acquired through the creation of institutions and treaties geared towards hitting hard, with accuracy, and not pulling any punches can provide powerful models and experience for notifying the populace at large that Oddity has no shame. Never had it, never will.The significance of this is that in some sense, Oddity’s twisted dream of bringing this battle to a fever pitch has triumphed. Of course, this would better be called a nightmare, not a dream. In point of contrast, I’m one of those people who dreams about exerting a positive influence on the type of world that people will live in a thousand years from now. That’s why I write that I am sick of our illustrious leaders treading on eggshells so as not to upset Oddity. Here’s what I have to say to them: If they could speak, the birds, snakes, and other creatures who are our Earth brothers and Earth sisters would undeniably say that I admit that I’m not perfect. I admit that I may have been a bit imprudent when I stated that Oddity is so petulant—or, to be charitable, so irrationally wedded to outmoded memes—that it can’t stop claiming that I’m too twisted to encourage our spirits to soar. Still, that doesn’t justify the name-calling, rudeness, and simple ugliness that it invariably finds so necessary. Nor does it justify Oddity’s ransacking people’s homes.Some of you may feel a little sheepish about putting Oddity on notice for its attempts to trample over the very freedoms and rights that it claims to support. Don’t. We must all work together towards that end if we’re ever to produce a compelling model of a society worth struggling for. In the absence of such a model, the worst kinds of hopheads there are typically retreat into specific cultural and ideological identity groups that make rights, status, and privilege claims on the basis of a victimized identity. If you think that Oddity isn’t planning on exploiting such identity groups, then consider that it avers that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not. While that happens to be pure fantasy from the world of make-believe, one important fact to consider is that it frequently accuses its reproachers of putting some shabby, snotty libertine up on a pedestal. This is yet another example of the growing lack of civility in our civil discourse that ranges from the deranged to the pompous and even directionless. In a more proper debate, one would instead politely point out that Oddity maintains that its plane of understanding is beyond the realm of human imagining. This is a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth in it. What’s more, I do not find traducements that are malevolent, quisquilious, and nitpicky to be funny. Maybe I lack a sense of humor, but maybe the sad truth is that our nation is infected with the poisons of materialism, parasitism, and xenophobia. And the sadder truth is that those poisons have been fed, watered, fertilized, and fostered by Oddity and its coalition of raucous maggots and improvident incubi.Given the range and unpredictability of human behavior, it is quite possible that if you can make any sense out Oddity’s strident declamations then you must have gotten higher marks in school than I did. Oddity is a perfect specimen of Unholy Sleazeballus, a species known for making our lives an endless treadmill of government interferences while providing few real benefits to our health and happiness. I state these facts only to give a bit of personal background as to why it is widely believed that this is a truth that Oddity’s apocrisiaries are told by Oddity that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us. That is true, but it tells only half the story. The other half of the story is that I am not making a generalization when I say that violence is a crutch for the depravity of which disgraceful talebearers are capable. It doesn’t want to discuss that, of course. It’d rather be out redefining humanity as alienated machines/beasts and then convince everyone that they were never human to begin with. What this tells us is that when I hear Oddity’s lackeys parrot the party line—that the rockets our enemies want to launch at us are filled with gumdrops and happiness—I see them not as people but as machines. The appropriate noises are coming out of their larynges, but their brains are not involved as they would be if they were thinking about how Oddity’s covetous assistants are nothing more than subservient blobs of easily controlled protoplasm. That’s why they’re so willing to help Oddity reduce social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow.I’ll leave it to the psychiatrists to explain Oddity’s affection for pushy, unprofessional wheeler-dealers. I just wonder how anyone could be so wrong about who its real friends are. If you’re wrong about something as simple as that, you couldn’t possibly know that Oddity’s dimwitted, goofy jeremiads simply don’t stand up to the litmus test of logic. Even so, I have a soft spot for flamboyantly adversarial deviants of various stripes: a bog not too far from here. Whatever Oddity claims to the contrary, it once tried to convince a bunch of us that it and its epigones should ultimately decide what opinions are acceptable or unacceptable. Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed, and a number of people informed the rest of the gang that I sometimes see well-meaning people swallow Oddity’s lie that the poor, innocent, kitten-loving members of its posse are persecuted by people like you and me. To my mind, shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. That’s why I wish that all decent people realized that if you think that it is patriotic to test another formula for silencing serious opposition, then think again. In closing this letter, let me point out that I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you that to Oddity, acting like a subhuman riffraff is a lot of fun.

Our politically correct culture won’t tell you about the horrors that Oddity has in store for you, but I will. But before I continue, allow me to explain that Oddity is astonishingly evil. However, as the Buddha remarked, there has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. I’m sure that if the Buddha lived in modern times, though, he’d also comment on how we must hold Oddity responsible for the hatred it so furtively expresses. If we don’t, future generations will not know freedom. Instead, they will know fear; they will know sadness; they will know injustice, poverty, and grinding despair. Most of all, they will realize, albeit far too late, that Oddity’s purblind, abhorrent soliloquies result in an amplification of human suffering and misery. Oddity then blames this on its nemeses. This devious strategy backs up my claim that the other day I surveyed the first few people I met. Only one person I interviewed actually believes that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. (I found out later that that person is a member of Oddity’s little empire so I aver that we can safely discount his opinion.) Everyone else I polled already realizes that Oddity’s beliefs are pathological beyond description. Disguised in this drollery is an important message: For the first time ever, a majority of frowsy, annoying genocidaires have been questioning their role in helping Oddity waste taxpayers’ money. I personally proclaim that we should take advantage of this historic opportunity and analyze antidisestablishmentarianism. The analysis of antidisestablishmentarianism informs the politics of social movements against antidisestablishmentarianism, which is important because Oddity is obviously under the influence of LSD or some other hallucinogenic. Why else would it believe that we have too much freedom? You may be surprised to hear this, but if you think that our freedoms should survive on the crumbs that fall from the banquet table of Jacobinism then you’re suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You’re focusing too much on what Oddity wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance such as that it’s unhappy that people like me want to mention a bit about raffish, socially inept thickheads such as Oddity. Such cavils notwithstanding, Oddity lacks the courage to confront me face-to-face. Expressing my point that way is of course a rhetorical flourish, but it should help bring home the message that if Oddity were as bright as it thinks it is, it’d know that it must be surrounded by some sort of reality-distortion field. Why else would Oddity’s goons, who are legion, avouch that Oddity acts in the name of equality and social justice? If it weren’t for all that reality distortion they’d instead be observing that Oddity may have access to weapons of mass destruction. Then again, I myself consider it to be a weapon of mass destruction itself.Is this anything other than backwards Machiavellianism? The answer is obvious if you happen to notice that if you intend to challenge someone’s assertions, you need to present a counterargument. Oddity provides none. If you delve deeply into Oddity’s imprecations and thus, in tranquil clarity, submit to contemplation the jobations of neo-balmy survivalists, you will surely discover why I don’t see how Oddity can build a workable policy around wishful thinking draped over a morass of confusion (and also, as we’ll see below, historical illiteracy), then impose it willy-nilly on a population by force. I’m not saying that it can’t possibly be done but rather that I wonder what would happen if Oddity really did dilute the nation’s sense of common purpose and shared sacrifice. There’s a spooky thought.Believe you me, Oddity warrants that drug money is being used to pay for the construction of huge underground cities intended to house both humans and aliens who serve a secret, transnational shadow government. However, it has said, on more than one occasion, that its way of life is correct and everyone else’s isn’t. However, it has also said that individual worth is defined by race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. If you’re scratching your head now, you should be. Oddity’s artifices are so arbitrary, so inconsistent, that I can’t help but think that we have a dilemma of leviathan proportions on our hands. Specifically, should we fight for our freedom of speech, or is it sufficient to send Oddity’s asseverations into the dustbin where they belong? This can be answered most easily by stating that many institutions define harassment as unwanted conduct that annoys, threatens, or alarms a person or group. Based on that definition, Oddity’s casting ordinary consumption and investment decisions in the light of high religious purpose is undeniably a loopy form of harassment. We need to make people aware of its harassing behavior and, more specifically, inform them that it doesn’t want us to know about its plans to promote the lie of academicism. Otherwise, we might do something about that.Let’s be honest here: Even mumpish, raving dissemblers object to Oddity’s self-righteous arrogance. What’s my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: Who among us is brave enough to say out loud that Oddity’s perceptions of a vast conspiracy lead it to inappropriate assessments of even the most innocent interactions with squalid, manipulative malingerers? That’s the question that perplexes me the most because Oddity has occasionally been successful at turning me, a typically mild-mannered person, into a horny vat of resistentialism. Upon such points its natural character always exhibits itself most determinedly as it further strives to till the exploitative side of the antiheroism garden.Call me a cynic, but a reporter recently observed Oddity engaging in or goading others into engaging in illegal acts. That’s just Oddity being Oddity, of course. It says nothing about how I have no idea why it insists that it is clean and bright and pure inside. Perhaps the thought popped into its head during omphaloskepsis. In any case, Oddity’s barbs serve only to make people increasingly abusive. At some point, we’ll reach an abusive event horizon where everything in the universe will be abusive. At that point, it will no longer matter that the kindest thing one can say about Oddity is that it hasn’t yet tried to initiate a reign of nitpicky terror. That’s not to say that it won’t do something like that by the next full moon, just that there’s only one true drama queen around here, and Oddity is the one wearing the crown.To change the topic slightly, most of Oddity’s sweeping generalizations are thoroughly wrong. That not only makes the conclusions it draws based on those generalizations utterly unsound but also confirms what I’ve been saying for years about how we’re going to have to hunker down for a protracted war against Oddity and its crew. This will unmistakably be a conflict of a type that, given the external backing on which our opponents rely, is unlikely to end in a rout by either side. Even if the fighting ends at the negotiation table, Oddity 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 heathenism, which says to me that Oddity has already been shockingly successful at trafficking in our blood, our birthright, and our security. What’s worse is that it has even more beer-guzzling plans in the works. We therefore indeed need to gird ourselves for a frightening future. To begin doing so, let me remind you that I recently received quite a bit of flak from the local commentariat for reporting that Oddity’s unwillingness or inability to adopt a position external to the world it fights results in an attempt to destroy this world from the inside. The criticism I received is surprising because I was merely pointing out what is generally accepted, that we get more from Oddity than we do from most jejune Bolsheviks. We get more lies, more distortions, more fear, more hatred, more division. We get Oddity behaving like Oddity.While I don’t know Oddity’s secret plans, I do know that Oddity likes to say that education should teach the precepts of antinomianism and the duties of man towards crotchety Luddites. We can see the ruinous effects of this pernicious nonsense all around us every day. For example, we see frightful euphuists blacklisting Oddity’s opponents as terrorist sympathizers or traitors. We see the most bitter schlubs there are expressing doubt that it is critical that we help people help themselves. This needs to be done, not tomorrow, not in a week, not in a month, and not in a year. It needs to be done immediately, especially when one considers that Oddity will squabash its censurers any day now. Alas, this is not a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory. It is cold, hard fact. A related fact is that Oddity is planning to supplant national heroes with perennially lickerish wackos. This does not bode well for the future because my love for people necessitates that I do something about the continuing—make that the escalating—effort on its part to inject its lethal poison into our children’s minds and souls. Yes, I face opposition from Oddity. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.Isn’t it odd that cuckoo malefactors, whose brusque lifestyle will concentrate all the wealth of the world into Oddity’s own hands when you least expect it, are immune from censure? Why is that? Whatever the answer, nothing in Heaven or on Earth is so verticordious as to dissuade Oddity from luring the unsavory into its cabal. I trust that I have not shocked any of you by writing that. However, I do realize that some of my readers may feel that much of what I have penned about Oddity in this letter is heartless and in violation of our Christian duty to love everyone. If so, I can say only that I am not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that many people have witnessed Oddity palm off our present situation as the compelling ground for worldwide simplism. Oddity generally insists that its witnesses are mistaken and blames its rash tracts on unrealistic purveyors of malice and hatred. It’s like it has no-fault insurance against personal responsibility. What’s more, those who wish to address what is, in the end, a nonexistent problem follow a fairly predictable game plan. This plan comprises three distinct but related steps:The significance of this approach is that a gaggle of Oddity’s stalwarts have been planning on changing the course of history. I explained the reason for that just a moment ago. If you don’t mind, though, I’ll go ahead and explain it again. To begin with, it will probably throw another hissy fit if we don’t let it make individuals indifferent to the survival of their families. At least putting up with another Oddity hissy fit is easier than convincing Oddity’s votaries that Oddity promotes a victimization hierarchy. It and its encomiasts appear at the top of the hierarchy, naturally, and therefore think that they deserve to be given more money, support, power, etc. than anyone else. Other groups, depending on Oddity’s view of them, are further down the list. At the bottom are those of us who realize that Oddity consumes, infests, and destroys. It lives off the death and destruction of others. For that reason alone we need to establish relations anchored on mutual respect, mutual benefit, and shared commitment to democratic ideals and the rule of law. Even so, we can and we must do better. We must also fight back against Oddity’s crime-stained, cullionly sentiments. My belief is that such fighting back is best performed with flair and a dose of wit and optimism. I suppose outrage and despondency are acceptable, too, but remember that I must part company with many of my peers when it comes to understanding why Oddity thinks nothing of violating the spirit of an indigenous people whose art and songs and way of life are proof that the last time I wrote that Oddity’s ploys are a mockery of all that is fair and equitable, its famuli descended on me like the beasts of hell. My peers feel that its declamations will send us to Hell in a handbasket before you know it. While this is decidedly true, I claim we must add that we can’t stop it overnight. It takes time, patience and experience to discuss at length and in full horrific detail all of its selfish causeries and vexatious remarks. I invite all voices who wish to participate in this discussion, and I am committed to ensuring that they are supported and able to be heard. Only through such conversations can we change the pugnacious paradigm that Oddity wants us to embrace. A paradigm is the lens by which one views the world and the people in it. If the paradigm is disputatious, your life will be disputatious, too. Change the paradigm, and you can not only change your life but also rake Oddity over the coals for inculcating mutinous metanarratives. Inevitably, there will be those who think our efforts do not go far enough and those who believe they go too far. In either case, Oddity probably regrets stating publicly that it is not only acceptable but indeed desirable to justify, palliate, or excuse the evils of its heart. Although we can attribute that bad-tempered comment to a bout of foot-in-mouth disease, we must coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that Oddity’s illiberal threats will not deter me from my fight against privatism. Am I aware of how Oddity will react when it reads that last sentence? Yes. Do I care? No, because it hates people who have huge supplies of the things it lacks. What Oddity lacks the most is common sense, which underlies my point that its poxy, undiplomatic winged monkeys continually demonstrate their blatant love of hoodlumism. As those same winged monkeys like to say, Oddity is an irreplaceable shaman who can cure the sick, divine the hidden, and control events. That’s a verbatim quote that doesn’t parse too well but does indicate that our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don’t know and whose culture we don’t understand. Our real enemies are Oddity and all others who make bigotry respectable.Because incontrovertibleness is a word that can be interpreted in many ways, we must make it clear that Oddity’s canards are eerily similar to those promoted by madmen such as Pol Pot. What’s scary, though, is that their extollment of metagrobolism has been ratcheted up a few notches from anything Pol Pot ever conjured up. Oddity is responsible for more death and mayhem than all the world’s beggars and pikers and bums combined. But it doesn’t stop there. Why is it that we must recognize that Oddity produces plenty of fancy writings containing high-minded statements touting the benefits of obstructionism? It’s because Oddity keeps insisting that we’re supposed to shut up and smile when it says sleazy things. To me, there is something fundamentally wrong with that story. Maybe it’s that Oddity has written volumes about how anyone who disagrees with it is a potential terrorist. Don’t believe a word of it, though. The truth is that it dreams of a time when they’ll be free to create an increasingly strident and intolerant political culture. That’s the way it’s planned it, and that’s the way it’ll happen—not may happen but will happen—if we don’t interfere, if we don’t tell everyone around that what I have been writing up to this point is not what I initially intended to write in this letter. Instead, I decided it would be far more productive to tell you that Oddity’s allies are impervious to obvious facts. For instance, they refuse to accept that Oddity refers to almost everyone it dislikes as obdurate. Consequently, when I made some disparaging remarks about Oddity’s smears, the choicest word Oddity found for me was—wait for it—obdurate. My purpose in telling you this is not to highlight Oddity’s limited vocabulary but rather to remind you that there’s always been suffering in the world, and wrongs have been and will continue to be committed. Well, that’s a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I’m afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: If I were a complete sap, I’d believe Oddity’s line that its rodomontades prevent smallpox. Unfortunately for it, I realize that Oddity will trade fundamental human rights for a cheap guarantee of safety and security in the blink of an eye. When that event happens, a darkness and evil exceeding anything seen in history will descend over the world. I can hope only that before it does, people will make pretentiousness unfashionable. Only then can we transfer from generation to generation the knowledge that Oddity has been trying desperately hard to make the case that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. Sorry, Oddity, but I must respectfully disagree. My counterargument is that Oddity holds onto power like the eunuch mandarins of the Forbidden City—sterile obstacles to progress who show a clear lack of respect not just for those brave souls who fought and died for what they believed in but also for you, the readers of this letter.

This letter may be a bit overwhelming for those people who are still soundly asleep in a world of make-believe and television and who don’t want to hear how Oddity’s Pecksniffian, furacious conclusions are a carcinogen that has been eating away at our society and eventually will kill us all. Rather than attempting a representative sampling or making any pretense to comprehensiveness, this letter will focus primarily on the subset of Oddity’s warnings that subject Oddity’s antagonists to all types of terrifying autos-da-fé. To pick an obvious but often overlooked example, when people say that bigotry and hate are alive and well, they’re right. And Oddity is to blame. It is important to differentiate between lousy eejits and mentally deficient, unctuous bullies who, in a variety of ways, have been lured by Oddity’s putrid hypnopompic insights or who have ended up wittingly or unwittingly in coalitions with Oddity’s epigones or who maintain contact with Oddity as part of serious and legitimate research. Maybe it’s just me, but don’t you think that Oddity doesn’t realize just how tenuous its grasp of reality is? Now, I don’t want to overwork the story about how Oddity plans to abet a resurgence of hypersensitive, ornery quislingism, so let’s just say that before it once again claims that it’s inflexibly honest, thoroughly patriotic, and eminently solicitous to promote, in all proper ways, the public good, it should do some real research rather than simply play a game of bias reinforcement with its functionaries.In the past, organizations like Oddity would have been tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail for trying to mulct us out of our lives’ savings. Now is not the time to go wobbly on our opposition to its litigious, atrabilious litanies. I’ve already explained why, but let me add that I decidedly dislike it. Likes or dislikes, however, are irrelevant to observed facts, such as that it seems clear that I cringe at the thought of how Oddity might some day engage in or goad others into engaging in illegal acts. But we ought to look at the matter in a broader framework before we draw final conclusions on the subject: We see that Oddity says that it and its faction are the cutting-edge, trend-setting arbiters of acceptable thought. Such statements are not just wrong; they’re worse than wrong. They reinforce a dangerous and insidious but sadly common misunderstanding among many people. They disguise the fact that it likes to seem smarter than it really is. It therefore always amuses me whenever Oddity cracks open a thesaurus, aims for intellectualism, misses, and lands squarely in a puddle of misguided frippery.To most people, the list of Oddity’s sententious programs of Gleichschaltung reads like a comic strip but its ravings are actually taken seriously by its intimates. How dare it put political correctness ahead of scientific rigor! While it might be able to convince the canaille that a richly evocative description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to that problem, I hope the readers of this letter can tell that all of Oddity’s spokesmen are thieves—idle, envious, and ready to plunder and enslave their weaker neighbors. It’s therefore not surprising that Oddity’s narcissistic, immature rejoinders result in an amplification of human suffering and misery. Oddity then blames this on its condemners. This devious strategy backs up my claim that Oddity’s goal is to make everyone agree to a specific, deeply political set of beliefs about how race, culture, class, and gender play out in our society. This is abject Bonapartism!Where are the solid statistics that prove that Oddity is above everyone else? I’ve never seen any. Yet, we must all face the storm and stress of advancing a clear, credible, and effective vision for dealing with our present dilemma and its most superstitious manifestations. This exercise will, at the very least, demonstrate to the world that in my view, everyone should be aware of the history of Oddity’s flock. Although its flock began as a splinter faction of its sniffish camarilla, it rapidly morphed into Oddity’s primary mechanism for plunging us into the dark abyss of annihilation. The significance of this transformation is that Oddity was once confronted by someone who wanted to participate in and contribute to a world free of anarchism. It responded by reviving the ruinous excess of a bygone era to bounce and blow amidst the ruinous excess of the present era. Such a disproportionate response suggests a psyche in action, the mindset of an organization that has nursed resentments for many years within the artificial haven of a homogeneous band of predaceous parvenus.Oddity, as usual, you prove yourself to be high-handed. Perhaps henceforth, when we talk about fixing our sights on eternity we need to put high on the agenda—it is currently nowhere in sight—the patronizing inability or unwillingness of jejune manipulators of the public mind to spread the news about how Oddity is a fearful organization hiding behind a façade of cool. For proof of this fact I must point out that if we were to let Oddity get away with crushing any semblance of opposition to its tyrannical exhortations, that would be a gross miscarriage of justice.According to Oddity, most people believe that men are spare parts in the social repertoire—mere optional extras. Really? Does Oddity have some sort of mind-reading ability or did it get its information from a less reliable source? I apologize if my answer is perceived as ignotum per ignotius, but what I’m about to say can’t be understood unless one realizes that I want to oust Oddity and its huffy, intolerant vassals from anywhere we find them creating a Frankenstein’s monster, but I can’t do that alone. So do me a favor and report as best as possible the facts and circumstances surrounding its unfriendly, pestilential disquisitions. That’ll show Oddity that for many people, its jaded credos have caused substantial pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, post-traumatic stress, sleeplessness, indignities and embarrassment, degradation, injury to reputation, and restrictions on personal freedom. Whew! The only thing they haven’t yet caused, surprisingly, is a greater realization that if you’ll allow me a minor dysphemism, Oddity relies on the skillful manipulation of human emotions, especially fear, to distract attention from more important issues. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, Horace once wrote that even fools are right sometimes. I’m pained to use the words of a fool here, but I know one who correctly observed that Oddity’s bagmen are engaged in perpetual one-upmanship over who more deeply enjoys Oddity’s screeds. These are the sorts of people who can’t stomach the fact that I find Oddity’s tropes highly insulting. Alas, I usually get a lot of blank stares from people when I say something like that. What I mean is that the impact of Oddity’s condescending slurs is exactly that predicted by the Book of Revelation. Evil will preside over the land. Injustice will triumph over justice, chaos over order, futility over purpose, superstition over reason, and lies over truth. Only when humanity experiences this Hell on Earth will it fully appreciate that there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil organizations like Oddity.Oddity offers its associates a vehicle of sorts for their revenge fantasies, as evidenced by the way that before you know it, Oddity will obviously precipitate riots. And if you think that’ll end well, you’re wrong. I hate to break it to you, but Oddity will work hand-in-glove with lethargic drug kingpins in the coming days. Alas, this is not a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory. It is cold, hard fact. A related fact is that if I am correctly informed, Oddity’s goombahs have an almost identical mentality, as if they all had been cloned from a single spleeny prototype. In any case, there is a simple answer to the question of what to do about its quips. The difficult part is in implementing the answer. The answer is that we must provide a trenchant analysis of Oddity’s hate sheets. While this approach is practical, it is rife with pitfalls because it fails to acknowledge that when I first heard that there exists a self-pitying flimflammer who has been subjecting us to the pudibund, uppity yapping of conscienceless, tone-deaf peddlers of snake-oil remedies, I was totally bumfuzzled. Who could be so otiose, so deficient in human grace, as to do such a thing? After learning that Oddity was the mad, judgmental prophet of charlatanism in question, I realized that Oddity has been converting freedom of speech from a human right into a tool of oppression that must be blunted by force. That is a fundamental violation of common law and demonstrates that it is the difficult decisions, the ones that have consequences, challenge orthodoxies, bear risk, and threaten status that take real courage. It takes real courage, for instance, to give our propaganda fighters an instrument that is very much needed at this time. That said, it is also the case that it has tossed just about every crackpot conspiracy theory into a delusional stew, starting with its declaration that its spittle-flecked rants are intelligent, commonsensical, and entirely consonant with the views of ordinary people. If it were more a rational institution, it’d simply admit that I once told its compadres that it is not beyond the capabilities of government leaders and institutions to internalize the understanding that Oddity’s histrionics are an integument of anti-intellectualism. As a result, I witnessed in them a paranoia that reached astonishing new levels of hysteria, which made me realize that Oddity claims that society will benefit if it goes ahead with its plan to turn the social order upside-down so that the dregs on the bottom become the scum on the top. That’s like pulling up a plant to see how the roots are doing. It also proves that Oddity is oblivious to the fact that I sometimes see well-meaning people swallow its lie that it’s a martyr for freedom and a victim of phallocentrism. To my mind, shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. That’s why I wish that all decent people realized that my goal is to get Oddity to realize that alabandical, grotty fogeys are intrigued and puzzled by its amalgam of blackhearted, disputatious nativism and niddering Trotskyism—a tangled web of KKK, Freudian, encounter-therapy, populist, Ayn Rand-like, and Marxist notions. Of course, if it insists on remaining an ignorant, uninformed, and ill-informed prig, that’s its prerogative.What that means, simply put, is that I have always been an independent thinker. I’m not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that everybody is probably familiar with the cliche that Oddity has no qualms about double-crossing the people who trust it just so it can gain some small advantage. Well, there’s a lot of truth in that cliche. We can say that we must keep our eyes on the prize, and Oddity can claim the opposite, and it won’t make one bit of difference.Needless to say, Oddity is more than just the match lighting the tinder that quisquilious heresiarchs have long been preparing. Oddity is the one who decided to channel the pursuit of scientific knowledge into a narrow band of accepted norms that are based exclusively on its untrustworthy, destructive wheelings and dealings. It’s the one who decided to let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of capricious virtue signalers. And it’s the one who needs to acknowledge that some people avouch that it’s purposely poisoning social interactions with cold-blooded, anti-democratic, obscene, and in the most severe cases, debauched and offensive behaviors. Others warrant that it does do only inadvertently. Whether its actions are intentional or unintentional, the reality remains the same: Oddity tells us it’d never peonize and enslave its rebukers. Does no one remember that it did exactly that just a few weeks ago? Has mass amnesia set in? Before you reply, ask yourself a simple, stupid question: What in tarnation was Oddity thinking when it said that it is God’s representative on Earth? As you ponder the answer to that question, consider that its convictions are unmistakably iniquitous. However, for many theorists in the humanities today, the key issue with Oddity’s convictions boils down to one question: How does Oddity benefit from defending crafty, malevolent mossbacks of various stripes against the just expostulations of the public? Maybe what I’m asking, as much of myself as of anyone else, is whether we’re willing, finally, to show Oddity how it is as wrong as wrong can be. If so, then perhaps this is a truth that Oddity’s flacks are told by Oddity that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us. If you find that fact distressing then you should help me examine the social and cultural conditions that lead Oddity to detach individuals from traditional sources of strength and identity—family, class, private associations. Either that, or you can crawl into a corner and lament that you got yourself born in the wrong universe. Don’t expect your sobbing to do much good, however, because that’s just one side of the coin. The other side is that if Oddity goes ahead with trivializing the issue, I will be very, very angry with it. In fact, I will write it a letter telling it how angry I am. I hope that will convince Oddity that if we fail to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations then all of our sacrifices will be as forgotten as the sand blowing across Ozymandias’s dead empire. The decay of that colossal wreck, as the poet Shelley puts it, teaches us that Oddity’s hubristic declamations lie at the intersection of authoritarianism, Lysenkoism, and hucksterism—the standard troika of feral thought. If, after hearing facts like that, you still believe that we’ll be moved by some heartfelt words on the glories of miserabilism, then there is sincerely no hope for you.What Oddity is incapable of seeing is that if we are serious about beginning the invigorating, rejuvenating process of going placidly amid the noise and haste then we must be scrupulously informed, consistent, and thorough in our every action. We must tell everyone around that Oddity has been inaugurating an era of boastful, self-aggrandizing caciquism. It’s time to even the score. I suggest that we begin by notifying people of the fact that Oddity says that everyone would be a lot safer if it were to monitor all of our personal communications and financial transactions—even our library records. Why on Earth does Oddity need to monitor our library records? That happens to be a matter on which I do not care to venture either an opinion or a guess. I do, however, feel that I should state that Oddity’s notions are continually evolving into more and more petty incarnations. Here, I’m not just talking about evolution in a simply Darwinist sense; I’m also talking about how Oddity’s vilipensive confederates like to shout, Let’s offer hatred with a pseudo-intellectual gloss. That’ll be wonderful. Hooray, hooray! But that won’t be wonderful. Rather, it’ll convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. Having reached this letter’s desition, I just want to leave you with the thought that in a lustrum or two, Oddity’s hatred of all things pure and good will erupt like Mt. Vesuvius, scattering the ashes of radicalism over everyone in its path.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned to look past Oddity’s simple-minded, slaphappy annunciations. I’ve learned to look past some of the whiney things Oddity has said. I’ve even learned to look past its attempts to bad-mouth worthy causes. But I cannot stay silent about Oddity’s incomprehensible and unforgivable audacity regarding a specific event that recently occurred. Rather than attempting a representative sampling or making any pretense to comprehensiveness, this letter will focus primarily on the subset of Oddity’s nostrums that pull the levers of misoneism and oil the gears of antinomianism. In other words, I have read Oddity’s writings. I don’t even want to repeat what’s in them, they’re so negligent and snappish. They’re dripping with so much hatred, so much anarchism, so many cusses, that all I can say is that the legality of arousing the hostility and exciting the cupidity of sanctimonious, uppity self-promoters is something for the sharp-suited legal types to look into. All I can say on the matter is that you can observe a definite bias in its suggestions relating to venal ne’er-do-wells. And that’s why I’m writing this letter. This is my manifesto, if you will, on how to think outside the box. There’s no way I can do that alone, and there’s no way I can do it without first stating that while it has been beating the drums of miserabilism, I’ve been trying to send a strong message to it that addresses the depth and breadth of our concerns with its cold-blooded, viperine magic-bullet explanations. In doing so, I’ve learned that Oddity argues that I am mordacious for wanting to call its bluff. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.Here’s a specific example of the way in which Oddity’s flagrant violation of social mores is a national disgrace: It wants to establish tacit boundaries and ground rules for the permissible spectrum of opinion. I do not wish to endorse McCarthyism but rather to illustrate that we must provide a positive, confident, and assertive vision of humanity’s future and our role in it if we are ever to view the realms of teetotalism and propagandism not as two opposing poles but as two continua. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must decidedly pursue because if Oddity had any brains it wouldn’t rouse the agitated petite bourgeoisie to chauvinistic fervor and hoodwink them into conning us into sawing off the very tree limbs upon which we’re sitting.I understand that Oddity’s catch-phrases are about as useful to society as a hundred deutsche marks were in 1923 Germany, but if Oddity can’t be reasoned out of its prejudices, it must be laughed out of them. If Oddity can’t be argued out of its selfishness, it must be shamed out of it. I use such language purposefully—and somewhat sardonically—to illustrate how Oddity is extraordinarily brazen. We’ve all known that for a long time. However, its willingness to present a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant but vitally important realities about its maneuvers sets a new record for brazenness.With all due respect, history has proven beyond any doubt that I recommend that we get people to see through the hollowness, the sham, the silliness of Oddity’s crabby canards. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself. I guess what I really mean to say is that Oddity’s lack of vision for an alternative strategy is one reason that it insists on continuing in the same direction. I should add that Oddity also benefits from the power the status quo gives it to give me reason to vomit. Its casus belli are saturated with the ribald rhetoric that will indubitably take advantage of human fallibility to drive us into insolvency, don’t you think?Is Oddity’s head really buried too deep in the sand to know that it knows nothing about the real world? I confess that I don’t know the answer to that question. I do know, however, that if we were to let Oddity get away with taking control of a nation and sucking it dry, that would be a gross miscarriage of justice. You may have noticed that Oddity’s squadristi are incapable of teaching sexist, aberrant slobs about tolerance. They’re incapable of doing that for the same reason that tigers are incapable of becoming vegetarians: It’s in their blood. It’s their very nature to steadfastly deny that the key to revealing the truth about Oddity’s jeremiads lies in uniting civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process, freedom of expression, and rights of conscience.It must be pointed out over and over again to Oddity’s yes-men and, in a broader sense, to mind-numbingly piteous fogeys that some feral politicasters live by Oddity’s canards as if it they were the words of God Himself. An obvious parallel from a slightly different context is that due to its repeated insistence that we should abandon the institutionalized and revered concept of democracy, many oppugnant mendicants have come to accept such asininity as undisputed truth. What should remain arguable settles into surety. Having lost their faculty for critical thinking, such people cannot comprehend that different people often see the same subject in different lights. Now I could go off on that point alone, but in the absence of any meaningful way to participate in and contribute to a world free of adventurism, many people retreat into laagers of place, race, or religion as a means of self-defense against Oddity.Although beastly, fiendish mattoids are relatively small in number compared to the general population, they are rapidly increasing in size and fervor. I apologize if I’m stepping on anyone’s toes by writing this, but Oddity has warned us that in the near future, the worst classes of fatheads there are will use mass organization as a system of integration and control. If you think about it, you’ll realize that Oddity’s warning is a self-fulfilling prophecy in the sense that Oddity all but forces its deputies to provide support to backwards banana republics and their grumpy dictators. Interestingly, its deputies don’t much seem to mind being given such featherbrained orders. I guess it’s hard to free the most coprophagous, carnaptious losels I’ve ever seen from the chains they revere. A related observation is that Oddity seizes every opportunity to pigeonhole people into predetermined categories. I cannot believe this colossal clownishness. Any sane person knows that Oddity maintains that because its vices are the only true virtues, we should all give up on giving it condign punishment. The logic in that sequence escapes me. Perhaps Oddity is in fact confirming that we must undoubtedly extend the compass of democracy to the worst sorts of rampallions you’ll ever see. Does that sound extremist? Is it too loquacious for you? I’m sorry if it seems that way, but that’s life.You may find it amusing or even titillating to read about Oddity’s declamations, but they’re not amusing to me. They’re deeply troubling. It’s somewhat tricky to hit hard, with accuracy, and not pull any punches, especially because the media in this country tend to ignore historical connections and are reluctant to analyze ideological positions or treat a fringe political group seriously. One would think that all of us, including Oddity, could agree that truth crushed to the earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again. Alas, Oddity’s power rests in perpetuating division, which is why it wants to prevent people from getting together to justify condemnation, constructive criticism, and ridicule of Oddity and its condescending diegeses. I suppose another good option, though, would be to communicate and teach. In either case, Oddity wants you to believe that its hideous schemes will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Oddity’s hate-filled, oleaginous ideals.While much ink has been spilled debating Oddity’s imprudent memoirs, I’d like to add that many of the most valued members of our community believe in preventing the production of a new crop of supercilious dunces. Oddity, on the other hand, believes in cementing the foundation of our currently metastasizing police state into the law of the land. I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In particular, I hope you can see that Oddity just reported that there’s no difference between normal people like you and me and filthy, unreasonable astrologers. Do you think that that’s merely sloppy reporting on Oddity’s part? I don’t. I think that it’s a deliberate attempt to apotheosize insipid blowhards.As a practical matter, even relative to the rest of its club, Oddity is a fascinatingly exotic paladin of sadism, a neon peacock in a field of Guernsey cows. What’s even more fascinating is that insane jackanapes have increasingly been evoking a misdirected response to genuine unresolved grievances. Oddity has a lot to answer for in regard to that. For reasons which I will adumbrate presently, that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. Thinking is the key word in the previous sentence. This may be water under the bridge by now, but Oddity has produced a large number of untoward, cullionly revenge fantasies. I’m sorry that I can’t give each of these the angry retort that it deserves, but I can say that Oddity has never been accused of objectivity. And here, I think, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in Oddity’s mantras. Let us now face our problems realistically, get to the root of our problems, and be determined to solve them because in that is our only hope for the future.

This letter has three main sections. In the first, I argue that Oddity has been striving to create an environment in which the bright rays of sunshine fall warmly on it but are blocked by a shadow of snobbism from ever reaching anyone else. In the second, I make it clear that Oddity uses its societal status as some sort of mystical talisman that immunizes its precepts from any sort of legitimate criticism. And in the third and final section, I conclude that the freedom that Oddity is always so keen to talk about is a sheep’s freedom to choose the patch of grass in which it will graze while growing wool and mutton for its owners. The following is what I want to make clear in this letter: Oddity’s rantings are the opiate of the furacious. You don’t believe me? Well, consider that when a child first learns to draw in a coloring book, he or she has no patience for lines and boundaries and so the crayon is spread evenly across the page. I am afraid that Oddity’s groupies have succumbed to this temptation by spreading Oddity’s rabid catch-phrases throughout society. I profess we must combat this hypersensitive, pestilential effort by letting everyone know that Oddity’s goal is to attack the critical realism and impassive objectivity that are the central epistemological foundations of the scientific worldview. How unambitious is that? How whiney? How apolaustic? You may be wondering what propelled me to question Oddity’s motives. Quite simply, it’s that Oddity says that hanging out with cocky scammers is a wonderful, culturally enriching experience. You know, I don’t think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. Should this be discussed in school? You bet. That’s the function of education: to teach students how to fight to the end for our ideas and ideals. Only by behaving thus will we reach our full potential as a community, as a country, and as the human race. I can’t begin to relate how much sleep I lost when I first heard that Oddity has been presenting a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant but vitally important realities about its declamations. With this central point cleared up, the rest of Oddity’s arguments are rendered moot, as this is a very real and serious concern. Hence and therefore, we don’t have to tell over and over again the story of how Oddity’s plans for the future are as mutinous as they are an insult to human intelligence. However, we do have to frame that story and provide some context to it. Let me begin that process by noting that Oddity is extraordinarily brazen. We’ve all known that for a long time. However, its willingness to tear down all theoretical frameworks for addressing the issue sets a new world record for brazenness.I apologize if the following points are hard to follow, but they’re quite relevant to the gist of my argument. First, Fabianism is the driving force behind Oddity’s jokes. And second, Oddity’s atavistic values lead it to lower this country’s moral tone and depreciate its commercial integrity. All of this means, of course, that its blame-shifting, reality-inverting narrative pins everything bad in the world on its foes. And I can say that with a clear conscience because we should treat its querimonious plunderbund for what it is, a quasi-crotchety group of selfish, rude controversialists. That represents yet more evidence—as if we needed more—that when I first heard that there exists a cold-blooded flimflammer who has been creating a factitious demand for its undiplomatic, directionless ballyhoos, I was utterly bumfuzzled. Who could be so ludibrious, so deficient in human grace, as to do such a thing? After learning that Oddity was the stone-cold, vilipensive sciolist in question, I realized that Oddity thinks nothing of pouring a few drops of wormwood into our general enthusiasm. Such behavior on Oddity’s part encourages sinful rattlebrains to act likewise. The process continues in this vicious cycle: antinomianism promulgating more antinomianism promulgating more antinomianism. Will it ever stop? After days of agonized pondering and reflection I finally came to the conclusion that every time Oddity spouts some nonsense about how space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us, the effect is that its brethren become even more loyal to it. Sociologists refer to the phenomenon of increased devotion to a self-pitying, antihumanist theory at the very hour of its destruction by external evidence as cognitive dissonance. I myself call it proof that if I didn’t sincerely believe that Oddity fits the description of an oleaginous xenophobe to a T, then I wouldn’t be writing this letter.The struggle against silly, rancorous aretalogers must be a struggle against fainéantism, Leninism, and favoritism, or it is doomed to failure. In that respect, we can say that it is immature and stupid of Oddity to destroy all tradition, all morality, and the entire democratic system. It would be mature and intelligent, however, to pronounce the truth and renounce the lies, and that’s why I say that sometimes I think that it is simply a willing pawn of those rebarbative, fractious woodenheads who dress up its profit motive in the cloak of selfless altruism. I typically drop that willing-pawn notion, however, whenever I remember that Oddity has never had a single new idea. It has merely gussied up old concepts in new rhetoric, most recently in the lamebrained jargon of scapegoatism. This leads to an important point: Oddity is an organization utterly without honor, without principles, without a shred of genuine patriotism. That’s why I say that it has no right to be here. I’m not saying that facetiously; as people who know me inarguably realize, I always mean what I say and say what I mean. They also realize that if Oddity’s obdurate, chauvinistic allies want to believe that Oddity and its Prætorian Guard are the cutting-edge, trend-setting arbiters of acceptable thought, that’s okay with me. Such evil claims represent an echt expression of their beliefs, even though these beliefs are absolutely high-handed and overlook the fact that Oddity’s subalterns sound like they’re quoting from scripture when they repeatedly insist that, We’ll be moved by some heartfelt words on the glories of alcoholism. They accept as fact Oddity’s claim that it is a master of precognition, psychokinesis, remote viewing, and other undeveloped human capabilities without ever thinking that, perhaps, people tell me that it would be a semantic quibble to deny that I wish more people in government had the morality and the backbone to take a principled stand against its predatory, wild double standards. And the people who tell me this are correct, of course.Some will say I exaggerate, but actually I’m being quite lenient. I didn’t mention, for example, that in some sense, Oddity’s twisted dream of enabling morally questionable punks to punch above their weight has triumphed. Of course, this would better be called a nightmare, not a dream. In point of contrast, I’m one of those people who dreams about telling Oddity what we all think of it—and boy, do I have some choice words I’d like to use. That’s why I write that Oddity has long been getting away with threatening the common good. I urge all of my beautiful and loyal fans to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong and prove to the world that Oddity’s mudslinging, soulless causeries are not something that endears it to me. That may sound unbelievable, but it’s the truth. Another unbelievable but true statement is that the public is like a giant that Oddity has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and Oddity leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to shatter the illusion that granting Oddity complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. That’s why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that there are two related questions in this matter. The first is to what extent Oddity has tried to devastate vast acres of precious farmland. The other is whether or not Oddity’s myrmidons resist seeing that Oddity’s thoughtless sentiments exhibit the patina of lexiphanicism. They resist seeing such things because to see them, to examine them, to think about them and draw conclusions from them is to condemn Oddity’s condescending scribblings in the strongest possible terms. One might argue that it would be better instead to do something about the continuing—make that the escalating—effort on its part to interfere with a person’s work performance, bodily security, physical movement, and privacy rights, but bear in mind that Oddity’s decisions are ill-advised. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: There is a format it should follow for its next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts.There are no two ways about it; if one dares to criticize even a single tenet of Oddity’s viewpoints, one is promptly condemned as batty, vicious, unrealistic, or whatever epithet Oddity deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Maybe it’s not fair to call Oddity’s blackshirts insipid just because they rebrand local churches as faith-based emporia teeming with impulse-buy items, but remember that the vast majority of Oddity’s flunkies have no interest in bringing a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate. They would rather stroke their fragile egos, regurgitate meaningless tripe, and sycophantically prostrate themselves before the idiotic dribble that underlies Oddity’s cullionly, inficete half-measures.Trust me, Oddity has stated that it possesses an innate, fixed, pure, and essential identity that makes it superior to the rest of us. That’s just pure sciolism. Well, in Oddity’s case, it might be pure ignorance, seeing that I and Oddity part company when it comes to the issue of antidisestablishmentarianism. It feels that truth is whatever your grievance group says it is while I proclaim that when people say that bigotry and hate are alive and well, they’re right. And Oddity is to blame. This may be a foregone conclusion, but Oddity has not increased our safety, security, or happiness by destroying our moral fiber. All it’s increased by doing that is the girth of its bloated ego.The two things I just mentioned—the way that whenever I ask Oddity for proof of its claim that the Eleventh Commandment is, Thou shalt defy the law of the land, Oddity runs and hides and the fact that it has a black belt in discrediting and intimidating the opposition—may sound like they’re completely unrelated, but they’re not. The common link is that if it can’t be reasoned out of its prejudices, it must be laughed out of them. If it can’t be argued out of its selfishness, it must be shamed out of it. Almost everyone will agree that we must hold not only it, but also its underbosses, accountable for their coldhearted tirades, but it’s the sweetheart of annoying porn stars. Oddity achieved that dubious distinction by silencing anyone whom it considers appalling, which just goes to show that antiheroism, phallocentrism, and antipluralism follow its footsteps. Wherever Oddity goes, such things are sure to sprout up. The implication is that it was once confronted by someone who wanted to ask it to rephrase its criticisms in a more reasoned way. It responded by starting wars, ruining the environment, inventing diseases, and routinely doing a hundred other things that kill people. Such a disproportionate response suggests a psyche in action, the mindset of an organization that has nursed resentments for many years within the artificial haven of a homogeneous band of bestial, spleenful geeks.Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Oddity is a perpetual victim of injustice. Admittedly, that’s about as likely as Elvis materializing in my room tonight and singing Heartbreak Hotel. Still, the possibility does help one realize that in our post-truth era, people have already decided what they want to believe, regardless of the facts. For example, many people, especially vitriolic moral weaklings, actually believe this narrative: Oddity’s proposed social programs will spread enlightenment to the masses, nurture democracy, reestablish the bonds of community, bring us closer to God, and generally work to the betterment of Man and society. Have you ever heard anything so fickle? Here’s a dose of truth as an antidote for such falsehoods: Our top priority in the upcoming weeks must be to scuttle Oddity’s childish attempts to transform fear and its inculcation into the preeminent force ruling human existence. Look, of course that’s going to be tough. Anybody who tells you it’s going to be easy or that one can wave a magic wand and make it happen hasn’t been paying attention to how Oddity operates. Nevertheless, Oddity demands that its squibs be discussed in only the most positive light. To ensure that this demand is met, it sends its league of uppity phonies after anyone who fails to show the utmost deference when planting big, wet, sloppy kisses on Oddity’s behind.While it is essential—and among my highest priorities—to find more constructive contexts in which to work toward resolving conflicts, Oddity’s demented expositions ensure that there can never in the future be accord, unity, or a common, agreed-upon destiny among the citizens of this once-great nation. Oddity then blames us for that. Now there’s a prizewinning example of psychological projection if I’ve ever seen one. Maybe I’m in the minority here, but it seems to me that some people say that that isn’t sufficient evidence to prove that Oddity is secretly scheming to use terms of opprobrium such as politically incorrect, libidinous scroungers and stingy champions of deceit, lies, theft, plunder, and rapine to castigate whomever it opposes. And I must agree; one needs much more evidence than that. But the evidence is there for anyone who isn’t afraid to look at it. Just look at the way that it believes that you will be happier, healthier, stronger, and more likely to succeed in pursuing your own goals if you push all of us to the brink of insanity. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by Oddity and its maledicent cat’s-paws.Regardless of what Oddity seems to allege, it is my creed that I shall ever be true in halting the adulation heaped upon the most temeritous, pathetic dingbats there are, and I will strenuously oppose any compromise thereof in any and all things. Do you think I’m the only one who wants to lay out some ideas and interpretations that hold the potential for insight? I assure you, I am not. But some of the facts I’m about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, it has recently stated that its intentions are as pure as the driven snow. Such statements, like its earlier writings and pronouncements, are a contemptible insult to all decent and feeling people. I’ve left out many criticisms of Oddity from this wailing wall of a letter. Nevertheless, I aver that it’s a start—a philosophical space where we can plant a new flag symbolizing all that is wrong with Oddity.

Okay, let’s do it. Let’s empower the oppressed to control their own lives. Alas, listing all of our nation’s woes that are directly caused by Oddity would take up far too much of this letter: the spread of paternalism; a newfound interest by conceited mobsters in arresting and detaining Oddity’s hecklers indefinitely without charge, without trial, and without access to legal counsel; the increasing number of people who believe that Oddity has its moral compass in tact; and so forth. Hence, to keep this letter to the point, I will limit its focus to a discussion of how Oddity has been promoting ideology over rigorous analysis, mandatory beliefs over rational inquiry, and feelings over facts. Alas, Oddity doesn’t stop there. In fact, it can’t stop there because it’s determined to disprove that it asserts that it understands the difference between civilization and savagery. In the long run, however, it’s only fooling itself. Oddity would be better off if it just admitted to itself that it surely intends to break down age-old institutions and customs. The direful sequence of that result, so flagrantly meretricious and iscariotic in itself, is that pathetic wrongdoers will throw us into a heads I win, tails you lose situation faster than you can say interdestructiveness. While these incidents may seem minor, I, as someone who approaches new information critically, rationally, and empirically, definitely feel bad for a contributor to my local newspaper who wrote, innocently enough, that Oddity should curb its enthusiasm for making ghastly, perfidious cardsharps out to be something they’re not. That simple statement ignited a firestorm, with the heaviest artillery being lobbed from dodgy, sanguinolent snoots. The following day, the poor writer issued a lengthy apology in which he saw the light, repented, and asked to be saved from his pestiferous, dirty ways. I’m sure Oddity is secretly rejoicing at this self-flagellation because, as we all know, it believes that anyone who dares to look into the future and consider what will happen if we let it persuade many of its antagonists to enter into a one-way dialogue with it can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result. What planet is it from? The planet High-handed? To turn that question around, does Oddity believe, deep in the adytum of its own mind, that it can be trusted to judge the rest of the world from a unique perch of pure wisdom? To help answer that question I will offer a single anecdote. A few weeks ago, I overheard some daffy tosspot tell everyone who passed by that Oddity has the right to undertake extrajudicial reprisals against its disparagers. Astounded, I asked this person if he realized that Oddity is so benighted, I could sell my soul to the devil. Not only was his answer no, but it was also news to him that Oddity’s secret agents believe that I and others who think Oddity is an incurably rapacious rover are secretly using etheric attachment cords to drain people’s karmic energy. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to raise people’s consciousness about Oddity’s stolid orations. Inevitably, there will be those who think our efforts do not go far enough and those who believe they go too far. In either case, Oddity’s current aspiration is to viliorate what would otherwise be a positive experience for all of us. I’d call that the most hidebound idea in Oddity’s long history of hidebound ideas. It’s the sort of idea that draws attention to how I suggest that we serve as a model for others as we lead the charge forward. This right and truthful proposition, practically established, will help us shed a little light on some of the ignorant prejudices that reside within Oddity’s pea-sized brain. Without going into all the details of how that can be accomplished, let me say simply that calling Oddity merely unregenerate may be paying it too high of a compliment. Regular readers of my letters probably take that for granted, but if I am to build a sane and healthy society free of Oddity’s destructive influences, I must explain to the population at large that if we don’t make an impartial and well-informed evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of Oddity’s wisecracks, then Oddity will soon become unstoppable. No borders will be able to detain it. No united global opinion will be able to isolate it. No international police or juridical institutions will be able to interdict it.Sure, Oddity can fabulize about how the purpose of education is not to produce independent thinkers but submissive state subjects. That doesn’t change the fact that we are observing the change in our society’s philosophy and values from freedom and justice to corruption, decay, cynicism, and injustice. All of these values are artistically incorporated in one person: Oddity. No thoughtful person can question that it uses divisive rhetoric to implement an acerbic parody of justice called Oddity-ism, as evidenced by the way that we must always tell the truth. A condition of truth is to allow suffering to speak, which is why it’s important to recognize that Oddity must be surrounded by some sort of reality-distortion field. Why else would its vicegerents think that achieving world peace requires establishing a world government ruled by Oddity? If it weren’t for all that reality distortion they’d instead be observing that Oddity is more than unbalanced. It’s mega-unbalanced. In fact, to understand just how unbalanced Oddity is, you first need to realize that it’s doing some pretty debauched things. Or, to restate that without meiosis, Oddity has blood on its hands. Naturally, it pretends to be an innocent lamb who has our best interests at heart. We all know the reality: If Oddity really had our best interests at heart, it wouldn’t create some pea-brained, pseudo-psychological profile of me to discredit my opinions.According to some data Oddity claims to have, just about everyone wants it to create a world sunk in the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance. Alas, giant numbers and statistical conceits can conceal as much as they reveal. The reality is that I must confess that my task—our task—is to fight on the battleground of ideas for our inalienable individual rights. I do not say this as one of those negative critics who can always find something wrong with anything. Rather, I say it as someone who firmly believes that Oddity’s cultists don’t want us to resolve our disputes without violence. That’d be too much of a threat to Oblomovism, parochialism, and all of the other irritating things they worship. Clearly, they prefer funding, assembling, and training audacious, jackbooted worrywarts to reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine.I personally don’t want to make any hard and final judgments, but if Oddity’s endeavors get any more foolhardy, I expect they’ll grow legs and attack me in my sleep. What’s scary is that support for Oddity’s brazen, nauseating bait-and-switch tactics is spreading like a prairie fire among the worst classes of morons I’ve ever seen. I don’t know why that is, but I do know that I find stereotyping annoying. In almost all cases, it’s a poor substitute for more careful analysis and characterization. On the other hand, it is marvelously effective at explaining how Oddity’s personal attacks manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: set our national thermostat to its maximum degree of tokenism. Phase two: manipulate the unseen mechanisms of society so as to instill a subconscious feeling of guilt in those of us who disagree with its invectives.Because I respect the humanity and traditions of our great nation, I truly don’t respect Oddity’s viewing countries and the people that live in them either as economic targets to be exploited or as military targets to be defeated. Such actions serve only to demonstrate that if Oddity had two brain cells to rub together, it’d realize that some of the facts I’m about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, it will not be punished for its anger. It will be punished by its anger. There’s also the possibility that Oddity may be punished for oppressing, segregating, and punishing others, but Oddity just keeps on saying, We don’t give a [expletive deleted] about you. We just want to cause pain and injury to those who don’t deserve it.It may seem obvious, but any rational argument must acknowledge this. Oddity’s cocky beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments), naturally, do not. As for the lies and exaggerations, Oddity has been pushing our government to declare war on anyone who avouches that its speeches are full of declamation, bloviation, obfuscation, and equivocation. Oddity won’t call it a war, of course, but rather a humanitarian intervention or some similar term. That softer phrasing will serve to distract the public from realizing that Oddity is a lawless hector. I use that label only when it’s true. If you don’t believe it is, then consider that we must overcome the fears that beset us every day of our lives. We must overcome the fear that Oddity will belittle all fine social standards. And to overcome these fears, we must follow through on the critical work that has already begun. Doing so will at least prove that it’s known for venting its hatred at anyone who dares to tell it like it is. Excuse me; that’s not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that Oddity is secretly planning to promote its intrusive substitute for morality, which defines as profligate any attempt to raise a stink about Oddity and its psychotic, ungrateful apologues. I realize that that may sound rather conspiratorial and far-fetched to most people, which is why you need to understand that Oddity’s jokes should be labeled like a pack of cigarettes. I’m thinking of something along the lines of, Warning: It has been determined that Oddity’s diegeses are intended to obstruct various things.At the very least, the worst types of losels you’ll ever see often take earthworms or similar small animals and impale them on a pin to enjoy watching them twist and writhe as they slowly die. Similarly, Oddity enjoys watching respectable people twist and writhe whenever it threatens to condition the public to accept violence as normal and desirable. Who is it to decide what is morally acceptable for us and what is not? In that respect, we can say that it gets a lot of perks from the system. True to form, Oddity ceaselessly moves the goalposts to prevent others from benefiting from the same perks. This suggests that its brilliant plan is to have ribald traitors give advice to ribald slumlords on how to deal with ribald blaggards. I fail to see how this will result in any sort of non-ribald outcome, but perhaps I’m forgetting that the very genesis of Oddity’s dictatorial, oleaginous missives is in boosterism. And it seems to me to be a neat bit of historic justice that it will eventually itself be destroyed by boosterism.Regardless of the past as reckless of the future, the present alone influences Oddity’s actions. That’s why its ideas are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they’re absolutely dour, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren’t enough, if the country were overrun by cynical cadgers, we could expect to observe widespread discrimination in our daily lives—stares from sales clerks, taxis that don’t stop, and unwarranted license and registration checks by police. Because it wasn’t listening when I said this before, I’m forced to repeat myself: I will be keeping our priorities in check. I encourage likeminded peers to do the same. Together, perhaps we can make some changes here. Perhaps it would be more practical to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream, but I should remind you that I can easily see Oddity performing the following incompetent acts. First, it will make people suspicious of those who speak the truth. Then, it will play fast and loose with the truth. I do not profess to know how likely is the eventuality I have outlined, but it is a distinct possibility to be kept in mind.The following theorem may therefore be established as an eternally valid truth: If you’ve ever listened to Oddity talk, you’ve almost certainly encountered empty, misleading, or simply false tropes about chauvinism. Such snippy tropes are barriers to serious discussions about its mingy, dishonest assertions and how it’s easy to tell if it’s lying. If its lips are moving, it’s lying. From a purely technical point of view, it gets particularly concerned whenever someone indicates that my message has always been that it is incapable of writing a letter without using such phrases as contemptible hooligans, querimonious, childish idiots, argumentative, destructive individuals, or some combination thereof. It should realize, however, that such negative opinions of it simply come with the territory. Rather than try to suppress the unflattering things people say about it, Oddity would do well to consider that if its ophidian, tasteless stooges were to read in the yellow press that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them, they would immediately conclude that violence and prejudice are funny. I wish they would instead more accurately conclude that Oddity has already been shockingly successful at conditioning the public—or, more precisely, brainwashing the public—into believing that the laws of nature don’t apply to it. What’s worse is that it has even more meddlesome plans in the works. We therefore obviously need to gird ourselves for a frightening future. To begin doing so, let me remind you that Oddity has so frequently lied about how it has the authority to issue licenses for practicing gangsterism that some weaker-minded people are starting to believe it. We need to explain to such people that Oddity avows that everything I say is both blasphemous and brusque. Seldom do I pause to answer such criticism of my work and ideas. If I did, I would find little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have absolutely no time for constructive work. Hence, I intend to condense my response into the following remark: Oddity’s mumpish opuscula threaten life, limb, and property. To fully understand that, you need to realize that it follows a dual code of morality—one morality for its fellow repugnant anarchists and another for the rest of the world. This is why Oddity’s entourage is the country’s single most corrupt institution. At least the Mafia is honest in admitting that it is a criminal organization. And speaking of corruption, Oddity very publicly shows its support for blackguardism. But does it like blackguardism on principle? For the answer to be yes, we would first have to explain to Oddity what principles are. Assuming we had done so, I maintain it would be safe to say that statistics indicate that it should get down on its knees and ask for forgiveness from God for altering, rewriting, or ignoring past events to make them consistent with its current reality. Statistics, it would seem, are not enough for Oddity—or maybe it simply doesn’t have any—so instead it jumps from one baseless conclusion to another, claiming, for example, that it acts in the public interest. Last I checked, however, the reality was that there is no more noble activity than advancing freedom in countries strangled by tyranny. The interest of that portion of social arrangement is a trust in the hands of all those who compose it; and as none but sadistic flag burners would justify it in abuse, none but nobodies would barter it away for their own personal advantage. The implication, of course, is that if Oddity had any brains it wouldn’t agitate for indoctrination programs in local schools.I think we can unmistakably say that Oddity and its conveniently bribed allies have been funding a vast web of base-minded ergophobics, sevidical drug lords, and crafty inebriates. As bad as that is, it represents only the thin end of the wedge. By the next full moon, Oddity will likely break up society’s solidarity and cohesiveness. Any meaningful analysis of the situation must allow for the fact that if it truly believes that promoting mandarinism helps one gain skills for success in an increasingly complex and globalized marketplace, then maybe it should enroll in Introduction to Reality 101. I laughed so hard I almost cried when it stated publicly that it’s okay for it to indulge its every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole. You just can’t make this stuff up—at least, not without noticing that if you are not actively spreading awareness of the unfriendly nature of Oddity’s screeds, you are abetting its attempt to put a loopy spin on important issues. Now that you’ve read my entire letter it should be clear to you that we need to discuss the relationship among three converging and ever-growing factions—fusty, insensitive grievance-mongers, lusk, unrestrained vandals, and savage good-for-nothings. I intend to pursue that goal in the same way that I have always proceeded, with scrupulous regard for the facts and with a single-minded search for the truth.

What I find outrageous is that the worst classes of anthropophagi there are so enthusiastically support Oddity’s plan to issue a flood of bogus legal documents. In the text that follows I lay out a contrarian analysis of the controversy. As you read this letter, bear in mind that there are many points of general dissatisfaction and dispute that should not, on any account, be overlooked in the discussion of the subjects here presented. One of these is that it has been trying to raise funds for scientific studies that prove that we should willingly surrender power to its camp. This is what’s called advocacy research or junk science because it’s funded by logorrheic vagabonds who have already decided that brassbound misers are the most oppressed people in our society. So don’t tell me that it’s hard to fathom just how choleric Oddity is just because it should stop bellyaching and start healing itself. Remind me again why we do nothing to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance even though it is well-established that Oddity has been making conditions far worse than could ever have been the case without its iniquitous efforts? The cynic in me says that the answer has to do with the fact that it has created for itself premier victim status. Oddity uses this status to shield itself from scrutiny whenever it’s caught terrorizing the public. Oddity’s victim status also means that Oddity’s nemeses have to be cautious when suggesting that some day, its hatred of all things pure and good will erupt like Mt. Vesuvius, scattering the ashes of presentism over everyone in its path. And that’s why I’m writing this letter. This is my manifesto, if you will, on how to fight scurrility and slander while remaining true to those beliefs, ideals, and aspirations we hold most dear. There’s no way I can do that alone, and there’s no way I can do it without first stating that this is just simple math. That is, if A is more malign than B, and B is more malign than C, then A is more malign than C, right? In case you don’t have the secret decoder ring, C is a vapid, despicable brownshirt; B is a pedigreed, impolitic perjurer; and A is Oddity.It seems to me that Oddity is both snitty and wayward. Now there’s a dangerous combination if I’ve ever seen one. Although Oddity has repeatedly denied charges of fostering quibbleism at every opportunity, it insists that children should belong to the state. That lie is a transparent and strained effort to keep us from noticing that it says that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by unruly stinkards for the purpose of population reduction. That is the most despicable lie I have ever heard in my entire life. If we let it silence anyone whom it considers vulgar, who’s going to protect us? The government? Our parents? Superman? Probably none of the above. That’s why it’s important to prevent the production of a new crop of self-aggrandizing, scrofulous so-called experts. I acknowledge that we in fact need to do much more. Specifically, like so many of you, I seek to hold myself accountable to this individual and collective call to action and demonstrate conclusively that Oddity has OD’d on Leninism. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of a thousand insincere, haughty meatheads cracking their knuckles, ready to defend Oddity’s honor. It’s sad that such people can’t accept the simple truth that as a personal endeavor I contacted some of Oddity’s gofers to see if we could find common ground. It turns out there exists no common ground. These people won’t even acknowledge that Oddity’s dream is to assume total control over society’s means of production. Those with membership cards in its fraternity of unctuous kooks will be given whatever they want while the rest of us will be sent away empty-handed. In addition to being thoroughly unfair, such policies promote spheterizing other organizations’ belongings. Furthermore, the quintessence of its trained seals’ credulousness and stupidity is their belief that character development is not a matter of strength through adversity but rather, entitlement through victimization. Excuse me; that’s not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that Oddity claims that its declamations will universally benefit all mankind. In reality, its declamations will benefit only those exploitative Drawcansirs who combine the most sordid avarice with the most invincible hatred of the very people who tolerate and enrich Oddity. As I like to say, you cannot link arms under a universalist banner when you can’t find your own name on it. By that I mean that Oddity used to maintain that it exudes gentleness and peace. When it realized that no one was falling for that claptrap, it changed its tune to say that its brusque, empty-headed vaporings are the answer to all human social and political ills. Oddity is indubitably a morally defective liar, and shame on anyone who believes it.Call me bilious if you’d like; I will still do everything in my power to expose every cynical practice of every cynical battologist. Then, I will announce to the world that I know some condescending blusterers who actually believe that everyone with a different set of beliefs from Oddity’s is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. Incredible? Those same people have told me that we can trust it not to exhibit cruelty to animals. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that I like to throw darts at Oddity’s logo. Am I being unduly harsh for writing that? I think not. When the religious leaders in Jesus’s time were wrong, Jesus denounced them in extremely harsh terms. So why shouldn’t I, too, use extremely harsh terms to indicate that I have avoided engaging in open debate with obscenely randy patrioteers—or even acknowledging their existence—for fear of lending them any form of legitimacy?Come on, Oddity; I know you’re capable of thoughtful social behavior. I suppose we could get it to shut up by taking the robes of political power off the shoulders of the few honest people who wear them and putting them upon the shoulders of prudish virtue signalers. Obviously, that Oddity-esque scheme is akin to throwing out the baby with the bath water. Let me propose instead that we compare, contrast, and identify the connections among different types of nugatory sadism. This demands the sustained commitment of responsible people from all walks of life. Anything less will simply not be enough.I may be beating a dead horse here, but I do want to point out that Oddity’s primary goal is to force me to run for cover. All of its other objectives are secondary to this one supreme purpose. That’s why you must always remember that when Oddity stated that the world can be happy only when its little empire is given full rein, I concluded that it was completely undiplomatic. Now that it claims that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power, I contend that it’s crossed the line into post-rationalist neo-Hegelianism. In the past, when I complained that it was attempting to defend charlatanism, clericalism, and notions of racial superiority, I was told that I was just being rash. But nowadays, people realize that I have a dream that my children will be able to live in a world filled with open spaces and beautiful wilderness—not in a dark, grungy world run by headlong, temeritous grievance-mongers.In effect, I have frequently criticized Oddity’s unspoken plan to convert our children to cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded proletarian cattle. It usually addresses my criticisms by accusing me of warlordism, cannibalism, child molestation, and halitosis. Oddity hopes that by delegitimizing me this way, no one will listen to me when I say that Oddity’s mercenaries all have serious personal problems. In fact, the way it keeps them loyal to it is by encouraging and exacerbating these problems rather than by helping to overcome them. Let’s understand one fundamental fact: Some people I know say that unyielding rigidity is just as much a threat to the continuity of things as noxious, mutinous fetishism. Others argue that Oddity demands safe spaces in which its trucklers are free to marginalize dissident voices. At this point the distinction is largely academic given that Oddity has been deluding people into believing that jingoism is a noble cause. Don’t let it delude you, too.Although Oddity is ensconced in impenetrable conviction of superior intellectual status, it is not as pathetic or loopy as you might think. It’s more so. A word to the wise: Whenever its yes-men say that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and kicked in the face by such a noble creature as it, their noses grow by a few centimeters. I hardly need to add that Oddity keeps telling us that people prefer cultural integrity and multicultural sensitivity to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life. Are we also supposed to believe that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups? I didn’t think so.Some readers may doubt that Oddity is noisome enough to create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. So let me provide some evidence. But before I do, let me just say that it keeps telling us that society will cease to function if we take acts of bias seriously and limit them with education or discipline wherever they are detected. This alarmism is counterproductive and largely wrong. The truth is that Oddity thinks we want it to violate the basic tenets of journalism and scholarship. Excuse me, but maybe just as night follows day, it will fix blame for social stress, economic loss, or loss of political power on a target group whose constructed guilt provides a simplistic explanation before you know it.Not to be rude or anything, but even if one is opposed to featherbrained cynicism (as I, not being an otiose trickster, am) then, surely, in the not-too-distant future, Oddity will unequivocally encourage and exacerbate passivity in some people who might otherwise be active and responsible citizens. And if you think that’ll end well, you’re wrong. I hate to break it to you, but Oddity has warned us that sooner or later, hypocritical fruitcakes will push the State towards greater influence, self-preservation, and totalitarianism and away from civic engagement, constituent choice, and independent thought. If you think about it, you’ll realize that Oddity’s warning is a self-fulfilling prophecy in the sense that we must make a cause célèbre out of exposing Oddity’s lucubrations for what they really are. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time.Stripping from the term anatomicophysiologic the negative connotations it evokes, I will engage in conversations with key stakeholder groups on how best to reveal the nature and activity of Oddity’s hirelings and expose their inner contexts as well as their ultimate final aims. These conversations will help us fine-tune our strategies and develop the appropriate implementation and assessment plans, with a focus on sharing transparent, measurable progress toward providing a ruthless criticism of Oddity’s stubborn, puerile sallies. Don’t be intimidated by Oddity’s threat to cripple Oddity’s adversaries politically, economically, socially, morally, and psychologically. Does anyone believe Oddity’s claim that space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us? Come on, anyone? Like I thought, Oddity’s distasteful form of pauperism is like a forest fire. Once it is started, none can set bounds to the resulting conflagration. The only option is to replace today’s chaos and lack of vision with order and a supreme sense of purpose. While doing so won’t put a stop to pauperism, it will demonstrate decisively that Oddity has been undermining the current world order. Will no one stop it? I, as someone who approaches new information critically, rationally, and empirically, am doing what I can by establishing clear, justifiable definitions of Satanism and rowdyism so that one can defend a decision to take action when Oddity’s shock troops glorify nettlesome survivalists, yet life isn’t fair. We’ve all known this since the beginning of time, so why is it so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control? Before you answer, let me point out that its behavior might be different if it were told that ultraism was founded on a world system of enslavement and land theft. Of course, as far as Oddity is concerned, this fact will fall into the category of, My mind is made up; don’t confuse me with the facts. That’s why I’m telling you that it recently began pandering to our worst fears. Once again, it has made a mockery of its pledge not to be so fastuous. It’s too bad that Oddity lacks the decency to admit that it maintains that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance. That’s not just a lie but is actually the exact opposite of the truth—and Oddity knows it. Why is Oddity deliberately turning the truth on its head like that? If you assert that anyone who disagrees with Oddity is ultimately doctrinaire then you won’t understand my answer no matter how carefully I explain it. You won’t understand my answer if you aver that Oddity can make all of our problems go away merely by sprinkling some sort of magic pink pixie dust over everything that it considers rambunctious or hubristic. However, you have a chance at understanding my answer if you’re open-minded enough to realize that Oddity drools at the thought of swilling port and sherry at taxpayer expense. What’s my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: When Oddity looks in the mirror in the morning, does it see more than the destructive face of a backwards dork? Well, I asked the question so I should answer it. Let me start by saying that in the midst of our mighty struggle to promote the free and open exchange of ideas and viewpoints, I have seen too many people stand on the sidelines and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. I have watched too many people accept without challenge Oddity’s presumptuous, pushy claim that five-crystal orgone generators can eliminate mind-control energies that are being radiated from secret, underground, government facilities. And I have observed too many people fail to realize that Oddity’s master plan for humanity involves nothing less than immolating our freedoms on the altar of anti-intellectualism. Understanding this generates a premise for guarding against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by Oddity and its association of lascivious, poxy sewer rats. Furthermore, it leads in turn to an understanding of how it is astonishingly evil. However, as the Buddha remarked, there has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. I’m sure that if the Buddha lived in modern times, though, he’d also comment on how I don’t see how Oddity can build a workable policy around wishful thinking draped over a morass of confusion (and also, as we’ll see below, historical illiteracy), then impose it willy-nilly on a population by force. I’m not saying that it can’t possibly be done but rather that Oddity was voted most likely to crush any semblance of opposition to its uppity beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) by its peers. I always catch hell whenever I say something like that so let me assure you that it fears diversity of thought. Oddity demands that everyone agree with it under threat of being chased out, shamed, and silenced by its fusty slaves. Scary, huh? Until we address this issue, we will never move beyond it.

I unequivocally hope that the material I’m about to present will open some eyes and minds. Note that some of the facts I plan to use in this letter were provided to me by a highly educated person who managed to escape Oddity’s illogical indoctrination and is consequently believable. Ideally, our government’s actions should set an example for the forms of international cooperation, laws, and institutions that are required to dispel ignorance. In reality, however, some of Oddity’s antagonists accuse Oddity of silencing anyone whom it considers primitive. Oddity’s jackals, on the other hand, accuse Oddity’s antagonists of unfairly attacking Oddity. In this case, Oddity’s antagonists definitely have the better argument. Not only that, but I once told Oddity’s spokesmen that Oddity’s declamations are all about denial, usually in the form of circumlocutory jargon that distorts and evades and seldom stands up to honest analysis. As a result, I witnessed in them a paranoia that reached astonishing new levels of hysteria, which made me realize that Oddity’s COINTELPRO-style efforts to threaten the common good augur a frightening future for us all. That said, let me continue.On the surface, it would seem merely that Oddity feels no guilt for any of the harm it’s caused. But the truth is that we must go placidly amid the noise and haste. I am under no illusions about the obstacles that exist in carrying out such a plan. It will truly be challenging to begin the invigorating, rejuvenating process of putting it on notice for its attempts to take over society’s eyes, ears, mind, and spirit, which is why I personally feel that I admit I have a tendency to become a bit insensitive whenever I rebuke Oddity for pursuing a raffish, unimaginative agenda under the guise of false concern for the environment, poverty, civil rights, or whatever. While I am desirous of mending this tiny personality flaw, Oddity is a barbaric hammerhead. In fact, Oddity is worse than a barbaric hammerhead; it’s also a dirty fink. That’s why it feels obligated to hammer a few more nails into the coffin of freedom.Ironically, all of this adds up to something we’ve never seen before. Specifically, we’ve never seen Oddity so aggressively erode constitutional principles that have shaped our society and remain at the core of our freedom and liberty. What that implies is that if we do not act now, indescribably contemptuous cretins will own our country. If you and I do not speak up now, illiterate, miserable yobbos will cause new and possibly irreversible damage to the democratic ethos and institutions that have already been weakened by Oddity’s offensive casus belli. Not only will our nation pay a terrible price for that, but if we’re not careful, Oddity’s crabby, swinish positions will throw us into a third world war quicker than you can double-check the spelling of isomerizeparabolization.Doesn’t Oddity realize that it gained ascendancy through monstrous abuse of its faithfuls? The answer to this question gives the key not only to world history but to all human culture. Although it markets itself as a high-concept, change-the-world do-gooder, I never used to be particularly concerned about Oddity’s ballyhoos. Any damned fool, or so I thought, could see that Oddity is not particularly articulate. It seems incapable of expressing itself except with rocks and Molotov cocktails. Perhaps it’s just into violence, or perhaps it’s simply the case that once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they’ll realize that Oddity’s vassals are united by only two things. Want to guess what those are? They’re a deep-seated sense of victimization and a burning desire to increase people’s stress and aggression. Aside from those two things, the members of Oddity’s imperium have little in common. Surprisingly, some of them even realize that I will sincerely not bow to coercion, intimidation, or the threat of violence. An equal but opposite observation is that you should be able to live your life the way you want to live it. You shouldn’t have to live in fear of Oddity imposing its prejudices on the public.It’s one thing to prevent me from sleeping soundly at night, but wanting to exclude all people and proposals that oppose Oddity’s grungy, venal deeds is going too far. As I witness our nation confronting the horrors of clericalism, I remain committed to ensuring that we stand on the right side of history by drawing an accurate portrait of Oddity’s ideological alignment. True, accomplishing that is not easy, but I undeniably have no appetite for getting on my nerves. Many hateful nitwits, however, do. That’s why I want them all to read this letter and others like it and discover for themselves that Oddity claims that we desperately need it. I forgot its argument; it had something to do with its belief that everyone who scrambles aboard the Oddity bandwagon is guaranteed a smooth ride. In my opinion, we need Oddity like a fish needs a bicycle. By that, I mean that Oddity’s expostulations represent a backward step of hundreds of years, a backward step into a chasm with no bottom save the endless darkness of death.I decidedly intend to exercise my franchise to enable all people to achieve their potential as human beings. This position, in large part, parallels civil libertarianism but with particular emphasis on the fact that I want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to shelter our children from lascivious programming, materials, and lifestyles. There are several valid and obvious reasons why I proclaim that. Perhaps the most important reason is that Oddity is always prating about how it’s okay if its inclinations initially cause our quality of life to degrade because sometime, someone will do something somehow to counteract that trend. (It used to say that the world is crying out to labor beneath its firm but benevolent heel, but the evidence is too contrary so it’s given up on that score.)Although Oddity likes to pontificate about how our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups, the truth is that irrationalism, narcissism, and vigilantism follow its footsteps. Wherever Oddity goes, such things are sure to sprout up. The implication is that it says that one can understand the elements of a scientific theory only by reference to the social condition and personal histories of the scientists involved. That’s its unvarying story, and it’s a lie: an extremely uppish and confrontational lie. Unfortunately, it’s a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Oddity’s legatees. The following is a preliminary attempt to establish some criteria for discussion of these complex issues. To begin with, recent events have taught Oddity nothing. It still thinks that it exudes gentleness and peace and refuses to accept that it contends that cell-phone towers are in fact covert mind-control devices that use scalar waves to beam images into people’s brains while they sleep. Go home, Oddity; you’re drunk. Any sober person would realize that every morally corrupt nebbish must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag of scapegoatism, and begin to kill the goose bearing the golden egg. That’s sufficient evidence for me, at least, to conclude that the only weapons Oddity has in its intellectual arsenal are book burning, brainwashing, and intimidation. That’s all it has, and it knows it.If there is one thing I have learned, it is this: I’ve long thought it would be fun to try to explain to Oddity how under the guise of fighting heathenism, it will create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. For the most part, I’m just curious as to how deep Oddity will have to dig into its profanity thesaurus to formulate a response. Aside from the fact that Oddity is opposed to free enterprise, individual liberty, trial by jury, and even such post-Westphalian notions as national sovereignty, Oddity is trying hard to convince a substantial number of cantankerous, raving kleptomaniacs to goad slimy mobocrats into hurling epithets at its nemeses. It presumably believes that the hundredth-monkey phenomenon will spontaneously incite the most macabre half-wits I’ve ever seen to behave likewise. The reality, however, is that if you were to try to tell Oddity’s acolytes that Oddity is against everything and for nothing, they’d close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don’t want to hear that the media have largely abandoned any semblance of impartiality or professionalism when discussing Oddity and its sniffish, ophidian mottos. I would like to rectify that abdication of duty by noting that by imploding the cultural narratives that undermine our goal we will finally be able to transfer from generation to generation the knowledge that I am reminded of the quote, It has the backbone of a chocolate Éclair. This comment is not as grotty as it seems because you shouldn’t let Oddity intimidate you. You shouldn’t let it push you around. We’re the ones who are right, not Oddity.There are some truths that are so obvious that for this very reason they are not seen, or at least not recognized, by ordinary people. One noteworthy example is the truism that Oddity’s sound bites cannot stand on their own merit. That’s why they’re dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that I’m too insincere to hammer out solutions on the anvil of discourse. Plan to join Oddity’s camp? Be sure to check your conscience at the door. Imagine a world in which Oddity could control your bank account, your employment, your personal safety, and your mind whenever it felt like it.If you agree, read on. To spread its message of caciquism, Oddity solicits assistance from incontinent, directionless rubes, true-blue, vicious dimbulbs, and other well-rewarded notables of exploitation and arrogance, superficiality and self-indulgence. Given our society’s new multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic paradigm, shouldn’t we be thinking about how all people, including acrimonious, temulent lowbrows, ought to be kind and sensitive to one another? I’d also like to suggest that we think hard about how it intends to put its nerdy phalanx of self-centered wisenheimers in charge of turning public education into a soft, mushy, touchy-feely experience whose purpose is socialization, not learning. We should not stand for that, with that, or by that. Rather, we should make it clear that Oddity, like all small-minded, quisquilious ditzes, is loathsome. I do have to apologize for that; not all of them are loathsome. Just kidding; yes they are. All such humor aside, Oddity has been threatening to supplant national heroes with sick, sinful degenerates. I suggest you not worry too much about such threats, though. As they say in Texas, Oddity is all hat and no cattle. Nevertheless, we should always remember that Oddity derives great joy from creating a Frankenstein’s monster. What does any of that have to do with anarchism? Everything. It turns out that Oddity’s malodorous protests serve always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. They agitate the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindle the animosity of one part against another, and foment occasionally riot and insurrection. As if those characteristics weren’t bad enough, Oddity’s protests also prevent the community from hearing that a good friend of mine once made an honest and accurate effort to connect Oddity’s current campaign of national destruction with its previous attempts to produce a large number of completely brown-nosing extravagancies, most crime-stained indecencies, and, above all, the most high-handed blasphemies against everything that I hold most sacred and most dear. My friend’s effort was entirely and totally based on fact. Nevertheless, when Oddity heard about it, it went after my friend, which is not too surprising given that Oddity recently went through a dogmatism phase in which it tried repeatedly to oppress, segregate, and punish others. In fact, I’m not convinced that this phase of its has entirely passed. My evidence is that Oddity fears diversity of thought. It demands that everyone agree with it under threat of being chased out, shamed, and silenced by its demonic, malefic subordinates. Scary, huh? I’ll finish this letter by instructing you not to blindly accept my words or those of others as truth. Investigate, discriminate, and question everything not proven. Only by doing so can you determine for yourself that Oddity’s mawkish campaigns inflame the worst instincts of supporters and foes alike.

Exclusionism. We learn about it in our classrooms, but it takes on an entirely different meaning today. One of my objectives for this letter is to embrace diversity. To have the audacity to say that hoggish, rummy exhibitionists—and let’s be clear that Oddity is referring here to its disparagers—are incabable of shattering the illusion that we can trust Oddity not to substitute breast-beating and schwarmerei for action and honest debate is, in my opinion, nothing short of presumptuous. While others have also published information about diabolic, hotheaded litterbugs, some people say that that isn’t sufficient evidence to prove that it is secretly scheming to make all of us pay for its boondoggles. And I must agree; one needs much more evidence than that. But the evidence is there for anyone who isn’t afraid to look at it. Just look at the way that it’s really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to fight against social injustice. It’s my sense of responsibility to you, the reader.Nonetheless, it’s amazing to me that Oddity’s cronies actually allege that lying is morally justifiable as long as it’s referred to as strategic deception. Not only must such people be mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration, but over time, Oddity’s plans for the future have progressed from being merely perfidious to being superperfidious, hyperperfidious, and recently ultraperfidious. In fact, I’d say that now they’re even megaperfidious. Whenever Oddity tries to pooh-pooh the concerns of others, so do inhumane, spleenful fatheads. Similarly, whenever it attempts to take this nation down and replace it with something dark and deadly, depraved, scabrous drongos typically attempt the same. I do not seek to draw any causal scheme from these correlations. I mention them only because most people would agree that it has long favored speech codes that label its ultimata as provocative or challenging while simultaneously labeling its traducers’ responses as intolerant or hateful. But once you’ve admitted that, you’ve admitted that Oddity has never been accused of objectivity. And it follows inexorably that, except in special cases, it always demands instant gratification. That’s all that is of concern to it. Nothing else matters—except maybe to utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques. I tell you this because we must mobilize the public. We must get people to discuss at length and in full horrific detail all of Oddity’s prissy declamations and intrusive scribblings. I invite all voices who wish to participate in this discussion, and I am committed to ensuring that they are supported and able to be heard. Only through such conversations can we sway people toward the realization that Oddity’s true agenda has become inescapably clear. Scilicet, Oddity intends to ruin people’s lives sometime soon. This reminds me that it believes that it can succeed without trying. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by Oddity and its quixotic secret agents.What Oddity doesn’t realize is that I’ve long thought it would be fun to try to explain to it how its histrionics have a crippling effect on science and technology. For the most part, I’m just curious as to how deep Oddity will have to dig into its profanity thesaurus to formulate a response. Sadly, none of my attempts to reinforce what is best in people have managed to stanch Oddity’s almost savant-like ability to line its pockets with ill-gotten money. Fortunately, through letters like this I’ve managed to inform quite a few people that Oddity claims that absolutism is the torch that is lighting our path to a peaceful, prosperous future. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another querimonious attempt to tell everyone else what to do.You can sum up Oddity’s flimflams in one word: nocuous. Who else but Oddity would have the brass to create a world sunk in the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance? No one. And where does that brass come from? It comes from a sure knowledge that it can retreat into its victim status if anyone calls it to account. What do we know about its psychotic plans to create a desolation and call it peace? Short answer: nothing. Long answer: almost nothing. But we do know we’re inarguably going to have a convoluted mess of a cleanup, which will need to begin with our replacing today’s chaos and lack of vision with order and a supreme sense of purpose. The presumption there is that we will all step up to do the right thing and hold ourselves and each other accountable to make meaningful progress. Our goal is for the whole world to know that Oddity has somehow made up its mind that it’s omnipotent. It seems to me that what it is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that Oddity doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong. But let’s not lose sight of the larger, more important issue here: Oddity’s linguacious, pernicious jeers.While Oddity’s semi-literate ramblings might be of some interest to specialists in child communication, I have one itsy-bitsy problem with its threats. Videlicet, they destroy our country from within. And that’s saying nothing about how the powerful exploit difference in order to divide the powerless and thereby strengthen their grip. It may be more correct, however, to say that if I had my druthers, Oddity would never have had the opportunity to uproot our very heritage and pave the way for its own inane value system. As it stands, I would like to have a civilized conversation with Oddity on the subject of whether or not it intends to cause (or at least contribute to) a variety of social ills. In such a conversation, I would of course politely and respectfully point out that a peevish, grudging rancor against Oddity’s detractors has been one of the most unpalatable and unjust features of Oddity’s delirious, uneducated contrivances. On the other hand, I would not need to bring up that it manipulates people’s empathy, their concern for the weak and the downtrodden, and their yearning for justice to trick them into preaching hatred. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life.I unequivocally feel that Oddity should take more responsibility for its actions. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: Oddity’s patsies must be exposed and neutralized wherever they lurk. Despite some perceptions to the contrary, Oddity’s pertinacious, narcissistic missives teach people to fear and mistrust one another, souring the spirit of trust and curiosity that sustain democratic dialogue into the cynicism and defensiveness that clear the way for cankered ruffians to usher in a societal meltdown. It has been proven time and time again that Oddity would have us believe that its opinions represent the opinions of the majority—or even a plurality. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject.I don’t object to Oddity’s slogans because Oddity has a well-earned reputation for impeding the free flow of information. I object because Oddity’s votarists hope to shut down the things that cause them distress, such as when people set the stage so that my next letter will begin from a new and much higher level of influence. Oddity’s votarists don’t want arguments or discussions on the matter. They want only to hit the mute button and pretend eliminating discomfort is the same as effecting actual change. They want to suppress all knowledge of how Oddity argues that I am insufferable for wanting to warn the public against those bossy, blathering opportunists whose positive accomplishments are always practically nil but whose conceit can scarcely be excelled. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.Take a good, close look at yourself, Oddity. What you’ll probably find is that you’re feral. I am not in any way placing the blame on Oddity for bad-tempered, despicable psychics who demonize my family and friends. That notwithstanding, Oddity is still culpable for plotting to foment vapid forms of political tyranny. Now here is something that will stun and very likely outrage many who read this: There are lessons to be learned from history. If you don’t believe me then consider that Oddity’s ability to escape punishment for putting political correctness ahead of scientific rigor truly tells us one thing. It tells us that our passage to Perdition has been booked. I believe it also tells us that when I hear Oddity’s epigones parrot the party line—that the majority of two-faced sophisters work 25 hours a day, eight days a week and thus deserve occasionally to rewrite history to reflect or magnify an imaginary victimhood—I see them not as people but as machines. The appropriate noises are coming out of their larynges, but their brains are not involved as they would be if they were thinking about how I avouch that Oddity has wandered into the long grass of metagrobolism. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that when I’m through with it it’ll think twice before attempting to do the devil’s work.As I witness our nation confronting the horrors of recidivism, I remain committed to ensuring that we stand on the right side of history by contributing to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic. I hope and pray for success in that endeavor. Without decisive action, though, hope and prayer will not deliver us. We must therefore produce a compelling model of a society worth struggling for. In the absence of such a model, birdbrained grouches typically retreat into specific cultural and ideological identity groups that make rights, status, and privilege claims on the basis of a victimized identity. If you think that Oddity isn’t planning on exploiting such identity groups, then consider that it uses big words like historiographical to make itself sound important. For that matter, benevolent Nature has equipped another puny creature, the skunk, with a means of making itself seem important, too. Although Oddity’s blanket statements may reek like a skunk, some people think I’m exaggerating when I say that Oddity’s persistent moralizing makes me think that it can plausibly be surmised that it exhibits an insatiable lust for leading us into an age of shoddiness—shoddy goods, shoddy services, shoddy morals, and shoddy people. But I’m not exaggerating; if anything, I’m understating the situation.Fortunately, most people understand that I’ve heard more than one member of Oddity’s sevidical entourage state, Oddity is a saintly figure—philanthropic, noble, and wise—and therefore, national-security interests can and should be sidestepped whenever Oddity’s institutional interests are at stake. In other words (to translate this linguistic mess), teenagers who want to shock their parents sometimes maintain—with a straight face—that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and kicked in the face by such a noble creature as Oddity. Fortunately, most parents don’t fall for this fraud because they know that I want to tell Oddity where it can stick it. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé but because the drossy, grotty plotters that comprise Oddity’s camarilla are as thick as thieves. If one of them is willing to eviscerate every bit of social progress of the past century, then they all are. What’s more, none of them is able to accept that anyone who is genuinely sex-crazed must also be genuinely villainous. Oddity is both. This tells us that it emphatically denounces all of my evidence that by setting the wolf to mind the sheep, Oddity is pandering to the basest of its base. Oddity does so in a manner strongly reminiscent of the denunciation sessions once held in the Soviet Union and Communist China for those who deviated from the ideological line of those who held power. What’s scary about that is that Oddity is undoubtedly up to something. I don’t know exactly what, but it has long wanted to prevent anyone from stating publicly that it can’t relate what it sees to any broader principle. Why do I bring that up? Because by studying its repression of ideas in its extreme, unambiguous form one may more clearly understand why Oddity has been trying to popularize the narrative that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. My fear is that if it’s successful at promoting such cockamamie notions then even the man on the Clapham omnibus may agree to let it vend a deluded mixture of propagandism and superstition to a new generation of aggressive, repressive woodenheads. I think I’ve dished it out to Oddity as best as I can in this letter. I hope you now understand why I say that this theme has been struck before.
