Victory through Useful Idiots and Weak Enemies

User avatar
Motto: "WANT IS WEALTH
POVERTY IS PROSPERITY
SQUALOR IS LUXURY"


Tovarisches, I wanted to share the obvious with you, in keeping with my handle, particularly since it seems the Occupussies are in need of remedial indoctrination reeducation. Below are listed some of the tools of our success. Feel free to add and expound as your creativity directs.

Protests and riots, with which to instill fear into the hearts of RethugliKKKans and Tearrorists with violent, meandering, purposeless destruction. Simultaneously encourage (it comes naturally to them anyway) Dimocrat politicos and union thugs leaders to speak on the valuable show of Democracy and patriotism said violence is proof of. Hey, it worked for the Arab Spring.

Dead People Voting – ever a reliable way of securing the success of our candidates.

Our useful Media Idiots – they know we can do no wrong. They are merely an extension of ourselves, trained by us to know their place.

Educational Institutions – training up generations of drones, whether in the Media, on Wall Street, or in our own ranks.

The Constitution - trash, trample, denigrate, and mutilate at every opportunity.

Balkanization – denounce dissenters as racist terrorist America- and Constitution hating idiots. In other words, project who you are and what you believe on everyone who disagrees with you.

Gangsta Politics – keep twisting arms of dissenting politicos out of their sockets until they comply.

Continue populating bureaucracies with bureaucretins who are tasked with churning out freedom- and productivity-crushing regulations at super-committee top-government speed and efficiency. Ditto courts.

Rule Against The Will of The People – those who disagree with us are merely Tearrorists and RethugliKKKans anyway. They are the problem, not us. That is why their doom is assured.

Continue to fund and ram down the peoples' throats policies that RethugliKKKans and Tearrorists don't want while pouring trillions of taxpayer funds into the black hole of red green energy projects that are sure to fail.

Continue redistribution of wealth from successful hard-working people to lazy slugs who will vote for you if you continue to steal from the producers give them more stuff from your stash.

And if all else fails - suspend elections if required – thus showing how you truly believe in our Representative Republic.

How can I so confidently predict that these tried-and-true techniques will continue to serve us in achieving the final goal: the realization of The Progressive World of Nest Tuesday™?

The answer is simple.

The enemy is afraid.
~
For decades we have been infiltrating their culture, their media, their schools, their businesses, their governments. They have never fought back. We draw a line in the sand, they yield. They accuse us of using emotions to set policy. But they fail to see that they are being controlled by their own emotions. We have trained them not to fight. Not to stand up for themselves, because to do so is mean-spirited, bigoted, racist, terrorist, homophobic. We were successful with the hard men of the nineteen-thirties and -forties, the “greatest generation”, and we succeed even more easily now with this linguini-spined, lilly-livered, modern conservative movement. If they dare protest our beneficence in destroying them, we will use our proles, our media, our institutions, and our regulations to attack their families and their God, as well as their liberties and businesses, with redoubled intensity. Their weak, cowering “champions” have not fought back, and they will not fight back as we march and rally and riot and shout and burn their bourgeois toys and bury in regulations what meager business they still manage to conduct and contract their beloved liberty until it is less than a memory. They have watched and will continue to watch helplessly as we sweep them away with our grand socialist visions and dreams of utopia, as we continue to proclaim audacious hope and change.

We will win because we have people whom we have trained and brought up from before they were weaned; our people whom we indoctrinate to be life-long children, whom we lovingly call Useful Idiots; our proles, our chattel. They are cheap and demand little from us, while demanding much from those on whose necks our boots are fixed. Proles are easily duped into thinking skyrocketing medical costs and diminishing medicines, supplies, and care are a result of Evil KKKapitOlism, not brought on by our suffocating programs, bills, regulations and impossible labyrinthine demands. Proles will not blame us for policies, spending, redistribution, and devaluation that are righteously bringing the Evil U.S. of KKK to its knees and finally bringing it into parity with the remainder of the third world. Proles know that when we tell them they are actually better off not wanting to expend their own effort and therefore have no opportunity, and certainly no liberty in any case, to attain adequate health care, quality inexpensive clothing and shoes, unprecedented abundance and varieties of high-quality, inexpensive, nutritious food, comfortable, inexpensive housing and furnishings of their own, cheap energy, indoor plumbing, affordable, clean, efficient heating and cooling systems, inexpensive, reliable private transportation, entertaining, affordable high-tech gadgets and distractions, we would not lie to them, for oppression government by us is good, moral, and we're for the little people. So when Evil KKKapitOlists are no longer able to produce those things the proles feel entitled to because we have regulated those Evil ones out of existence and priced their products into the stratosphere by currency devaluation and an inability to compete, the proles will cheer us, and blame those who once produced and drove the Evil KKKapitOlist economy. If the proles dare protest our beneficent rule, we will righteously call them greedy and turn them against one another. The 0ne is practiced in the art, and we taught him well.

The proles will perform whatever tasks we desire, obeying without question. We know they are disposable, and all our communications with them will underscore this unspoken threat fact. We have attained the moral high ground. We are the good, the providers; we are those who give life, pain, and delight. When we work them to death, it is of no concern to us – there will always be more workers. They will continue to love us for the crumbs we generously provide them. In return, we merely require the proles give us all their adoration, all their labors, their very lives. It is a small price to pay, a small gift to earn the favor of their gods.

We will continue to break up, overturn, and burn all the Evil KKKapitOlists' stuff while demanding they give us all their stuff for free. We will take the products created from the success they attained from their freedom to succeed and ensure they are enslaved. We who have earned nothing will take everything from those who unfairly used their efforts and time to succeed, build, and produce, because all their efforts, all their time, their very lives belong to us. We will succeed in the final twists of the screw that is turning their culture into ruinous rubble. When their toys fall apart and no one can fix them, when air conditioning, gasoline engines, electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing are distant memories and, as we shall easily convince the starving masses, perhaps never existed at all, we will still be the ones who live in relative luxury. We will be the ones with the hand-crafted horse-drawn carriages. We will be the ones with the stone castles. We will be the ones whose servants dispose of our garbage while the proles wallow in theirs, unable to rid themselves of it because to do so taints the environment. We will have all the toys – so what if iPads, smart phones, computers, television, motorized vehicles, cheap energy, central heating, cooling, refrigeration, plumbing, inexpensive, wholesome food, and luxurious private housing are things of the past? As long as we have power, even over a decayed, dumb, dispirited populous, and as long as we have the best of what is available, no matter how shoddy or ramshackle, who cares? It's the power, stupid. And it must all be ours.

They are sheep. We are wolves. We shall continue as we have been, as we shall ever be – devouring all who stand in our way and spitting out their cowardly bones to mark the grave of their shame and failure.

You are right but let's never scare the proles. They aren't as docile when they're scared. We need emollient phrases like, "Government is what we decide to do together," which sounds warm and fuzzy. Sure we'll do things together: we propose and we dispose and they pay. Oh, how they pay and if they aren't lining up to do it and to give more, then we'll tell them that they're mean-spirited and racists and whatever we don't like at the moment.

The important thing is, as you noted, that the Sheeple never fight back. That's why we insult the Xians. It's been 500 years since they've fought back. Now they don't. That's why we're so pro-Palestinian. Because the Jews haven't fought back against Xians in 300 years.

But that's why we never insult the Muslims, because one of them will strap on a bomb. Also, it's the professional courtesy that one totalitarian owes to another.

The honorable Bill Clinton famously said, "It's the economy, stupid." I have in my dacha a similar sign: "What's mine is mine, and what's yours we'll talk about." Or as some other prog here said, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours I have plans for."

User avatar
Father Prog, so true, and as always, so wisely noted and described. But we need not fear the proles - we are teaching them to not understand words with more than four letters (even three letters, like Joe Biteme's "JOBS"), let alone string them together in coherent sentences, or - Gaia forbid! - actually READ.

And yes, Muslims, particularly the bomb-strapping kind, are also our useful idiots. We merely have their mullahs point them in a useful (to us) direction. A prole by any other name would destroy as effectively.

As to the last thought: Let's cut to the chase. "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine." We know it's all ours, anyway.

Redumdimski, I think that you are getting the warp and the woof of being a Made Prog.

Here's the skinny: we have no achievements except looking in the mirror and saying, "Damn, you're fine."

Our ideas are never tested because we go to schools which consider them truer than Newton or Einstein or Gauss.

We look down on people who disagree with us, because we are self-anointed, and blessed by the professors who have made our parents impecunious for our worthless degrees.

So that we can pee on cop cars on Wall Street, while smuttily sneering at people who have done things while we have done nothing.

Except look down our noses at people because they don't get the magnificence of us.

I realize that you are trying; I really do. But I don't think that you have yet that particular vicious kick-him-in-the-balls-for-looking-at-you-funny urge that successful progs have.

And I've detected nascent, and I can hardly write this, fingering the tears from my eyes, signs of responsibility.

Do you not know that progitude is the complete and total hatred of personal responsibility? That's what it is, you know. If people were accorded human rights and responsibilities, then they might act in someone's interest rather than ours, since we have educated them to be useless and resentful.

I am so glad that we destroyed the "liberal" education to replace it with the liberal education.

Every day I nearly shit myself laughing at how the meaning of that word has changed.

Good Father Prog, it is most equally humblingly satisfying to observe how easily you combine both a tribute to Dig4Utopia and a delightful sentiment in one pithy sentence.

To address your concern, I am finding that by continual immersion of myself in the dominant state-adoring media rhetoric, daily I am losing any desire greater than wallowing in their waves of cacaphonous dissonance while consuming my beet ration and loving myself more and more for the True Believer I am becoming. My personal purge of self-loathing in the form of so-called "personal responsibility" to humankind is proceeding apace. I am grateful for your help in this matter contained in your postings - an equally excellent resource to the Cube Kollektive Whole.

" cachophonous " ?

Great.... now we've got two guys who are paid by the syllable.

User avatar
Tovarisch Krasnodar, your spelling of "cacophonous", while correct, is superseded by the more equal korrektness of "cacaphonous” (caca merged with cacophonous), my own poor attempt at a combination tribute to Dig4Utopia and dig at our media dogs brethren - mind you, merely to keep them on their toes.

User avatar
Comrade Redumdimski ( atsa' four !)

" Cacaphonous " ...... or what crap sounds like. OK.... I'm good with that.

BTW:
Your insightful dissertation at the top of this particular commentary has, due to its shear corpulence.... ah........size..... put this entire thread under considerable pressure.

User avatar
Good Komrade Krasnodar, your image is an accurate mechanical representation of the weighty meat of information consumed by contained in the pressure of my commentary.

The shearing forces of corpulence! Too rich with virtual caloric goodness! Only true Progadocious Progocity could allude to such clever combinations. Obviously your brain is truly corpulent as well to appreciate my brain's corpulence. (Is not the brain mostly fatty tissue? Even more so in us Progs than most. And not from consumption of trans-fats! No, it is the grandioseness of our big elite brains! No fat heads we.) I'm pleased to report that mine is so corpulent it has been overflowing to take up residence, under glorious government lease agreement, in other body cavities in addition to my cranium. It is therefore no surprise that the pressure finds its way into my post.

The weight of Proggish self-love consumes me as it pressures me to spew it forth, like shovel-ready detritus.

User avatar
Comrade Redumdimski,
Small words, big pictures, OK?

Image thanks, Pardner...

I heard that some Occupi organizers are being paid. As a member of the Local Union of Moochers, I demand an end to my exploitation. I am just as well qualified to wave a commie flag as the next goon so why am I not being PAID! Why am I being left out of the JOB CREATION that Dear Leader promises will happen even without action from Congress!

If this injustice is not addressed immediately, I will do as Herman Cain did: I will leave the DEMOCRAT PLANTATION!

User avatar
Leave the plantation ?

Oh, you don't wanna' do that, son.

There are nasty things out there that we liberals shield you from...
Like those conservatives.... ( spit ) .... who would have you work for a living.
Even worse, their dogma says that
you, not gov't., are responsible for yourself !!!

That's a road you don't want to go down...... no sir.

Face it, the Democrats will always make sure that you'll never have to worry about rising above where you are.... because where you are is where they want you.
It's the promise of complete security as stated so elegantly by Nancy Pelosi.

Now doesn't that make a whole lot more sense ? Now get back inside a close the gate.

User avatar
Comrades, please do not assume that I am paid by the syllable. I frolic in words because I have learned from Dear Oleader that one can talk, and talk, and talk, and not say a single thing. And the state-run media does the same thing. It's a society of mutual lies, a con on the AmeriKKKan public, which is at is should be.

Cacophonous is actually from kakos, Greek for bad, and phonos, or something like that (my Greek is very rusty) sound. One of those words is also in kakistocracy. Or rule by the worst.

That one gives me a frisson, you can bet.

I personally like kleptocracy too; isn't that what we're all aiming for? But we'll have to get to it by ochlocracy, which we're seeing in the glorious Wall Street protestors, who have so far in every interview I've heard, managed to say utterly nothing, be completely vapid, and only display their anger at being in debt, uneducated, useless, and entitled.

Krasnodar, Redumdimski, all well and good that you're growing as Progs, but ask yourself the real question: "What have I stolen TODAY?"

A Made Prog cannot go a day without some sort of theft: either physical or rights--I like that one the most. And have you sneered at someone who does not think in lock-step with you? A True Prog is an ideologue and is spouting the Current Truth as of 7 AM as received on his Superheterodyne, Phased-antenna-array tin-foil hat.

It's all and good to gin up your propaganda skills but again, What have you stolen TODAY?

User avatar
Venerable Father Prog, I have already collected several iPhones and iPads from our protesting dim-witted drones zombies entitled thugs demanding free stuff stinking whining little louts "parasites on parade" magnificent freedom marchers by promising to use them to link to sites that will ensure the Evil Wall Street KKKapitOlists will be reported to the Eric Hold'em Justice Department and waterboarded before their denouncements and summary executions in front of their families.

They cheered me as I made my exit with my newly acquired techno-booty, never to see me again.

User avatar
Redumdimski, I am proud of your uplifting and raising up our comrades in the park. The private park which the owners had wanted to clean but which they no longer do, bowing to pressure.

You might want to hold off going down there again; I'm told that the store owners have started locking the doors to keep the Freedom Fighters from trashing their stores, and also from spreading, well, shit all over everything.

This is of course as it should be. The business owners prove that America is a nation of shopkeepers and they are by definition the bourgeoisie and therefore one must epater them. Just to keep them humble.

As for me, I like a little, oh hell, a lot of creative destruction. Apple started the destruction of RIM; they finished it with their errors; it is also destroying other markets.

Now we need to remember the wise words of the Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel: "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste. You can get a lot done in a crisis."

Force the shopkeepers to open up their shops again, urge the freedom fighters in to trash the shopkeepers; have the NYT humiliate the people whose lives were just destroyed; have the shopkeepers leave just as the Jews did in the Watts riots, as the Koreans did in the King riots. So we have urban blight ON WALL STREET! Wonderful.

User avatar
Father Prog, you have given me an epiphany! I will tell our Freedom Marchers whose toys I took that the Evil KKKapitOlist shopkeepers have stolen their iPads and iPhones and are planning to re-sell them to their former “owners” – thus the thugs idiots Glorious Young Revolutionaries will break into all the shops indiscriminately, increasing the bedlam, furthering our ends, and destroying any hope the shopkeepers had of protecting themselves and their evilly stolen merchandise from our Heroic Proles.

User avatar
I thought an " Epiphany " was a new coupe from Honda........

User avatar
That's right. Creative destruction. I love the Freedom Fighters. They are the source of revolution. Witness South America and Egypt with an educated but useless and unemployed (and unemployable in this case) class, with nothing to do and resenting their impotence.

It's easy to keep a prole down: Uncle Joseph taught us that. Starve 'em and they can't rebel. Hell, I watch the crucifixion scene in Spartacus over and over. That's the way to deal with rebels.

So we are blessed to have educated and resentful and useless people who have indebted themselves to perhaps $100K to find that it was for nothing and all they learned was progressive attitude.

Next: get them to chant, "Forgive all debt! Forgive all debt!" Because repayment of debt is (1) responsible and therefore (2) reprehensible and thus (3) cannot be done by a true prog.

Father Prog, I know that the korrekt word we provide for the consumption of the masses is "education" (as in public), but among ourselves we may be forthright and state what we actually provide: Indoctrination in The Korrekt Ideological Belief System and fostering of the clogging of prole minds with endlessly repeated propaganda that leads to the inability to form a rational thought. Observations of the world around us and how people interact and function together integrated through thinking about them lead to disagreements with our doctrine, and those cannot be allowed. Therefore we know that thought is Evil and must be punished by denouncement (at the first offence, with further displays of that unacceptable behavior to be punished through ever greater means of persuasion, and I'm all for crucifixion – you recall We used that on The Enemy's Son) of any Thought Criminal who dares to attempt it. We are aware that there is no world but what we make.

Yes, I am of the old school that was taught that education encourages thought and not merely memorization of morbid drivel (multiplication tables not included).

User avatar
Redumdimski, I see that you have in you the makings of a Fine Prog. As an Elder Prog I shall be keeping a fond eye on you. Which you may be grateful for, as we progs are a small-minded sort, thinking only of ourselves and I figure that if hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue, I, as a prog, have been on my knees for most of my life.

I would not call it indoctrination; that seems too harsh. I thought of catechism for we are a religion you know--a disprovable one, which makes it all the better. How much more fun can you have than forcing people to obey you when you both know it's a lie? Hell, that's a goddamned WHIP and you both know it.

I would call it enlightenment. Or the tried and true: sensitivity.

I eat the hell out of sensitivity. I always want people to be sensitive, especially when I'm telling them they're evil and greedy, because what's the fun if I cannot govern against their will?

I take my cue from Bouncing Baby Barry Bama on this one. He doesn't get what he wants, he looks down his nose and goes at it again. Some might think him a fool.

I think of him as a great Socialist tool.

User avatar
I am humbled, Father Prog, that you would take time from yourself to keep an eye on me. I am unworthy yet aware at the same time that I am entitled.

Your words are true. We are sensitive to how bigoted, racist, and homophobic everyone who disagrees with us is, and how insensitive they are for daring to believe anything other than what we believe, even as our beliefs change like the direction of the wind to suit our current mood. But at our core, we have a craving that never changes. We want power. Power over everyone, over every aspect of their puny existences. An all-consuming thirst that can never be quenched. Yes, that is our religion, whether couched in Gaia-worshipping strident catastrophe-trumpeting, or in decreasing others' liberty through increasing burdensome regulations which must be followed - ignorance of our whims is no excuse for not strictly adhering to them, and extending all the way down to name-calling.

We are practiced in the art of lobbing feel-bad bombs at our enemies when physical explosives are unavailable. It's remarkable how effectively making others feel bad as we sniff down our noses at them (which The 0ne, as you mentioned, is so adept at - he is such a compliant little tool, is Baby Barry) causes them to shut up and whimper away with tails tucked between their legs, like oft-whipped dogs. Which is one of our more polite names for those soft-hearted soft-headed spineless RethugliKKKan Tearrorists. We have trained them well!

Good thing only they engage in uncivil discourse, while we can say and do anything we please while accepting no responsibility whatsoever for it. Ah, Sweet Progdom! The warmth of its kollektiv embrace surrounds me like a mind-numbing haze.

User avatar
"I am unworthy yet aware at the same time that I am entitled." Ah, that is 200-proof progitude.

Hmm. A "feel-bad bomb." I like that. It's the verbalization and coinage of a grand new term for a valued prog habit. Can't win it with the facts, for the facts won't be marshaled, and on the face of it it's absurd. Any four-corners interpretation would collapse instantly but we go with the intent, and since we are good, our intentions are good, and therefore it's not our fault if something goes wrong, because we have GoodIntentions™. And therefore it's someone else's fault and they're evil. This is, by the way, a decent example of the often-misused term, "begging the question," as opposed to posing one.

Yes. A feel-bad bomb. When life's easy people want something to feel superior over. I personally do it a lot. I learned to elevate myself by wallowing in bathos as I crushed sow bugs in the gutter as a child. "Soon, Theocritus," I thought to myself, "those will be vertebrate and then mammals and then perhaps, who knows? people with the Shining Path or any other garden-variety Marxist butchery and enslavement machine."

I was precocious, you see; I specifically knew that I had to learn to read because the Bible was there for me. I am a red-diaper baby and the Bible is of course Das Kapital. Which is the one we kept on the coffee table. In the bedrooms it was Mein Kampf.

One of the big myths is that we leftists are all that much different: after all, brush away the trappings of ceremony; does it matter which Captain Midnight Secret Decoder Ring you have? No. But as far as the POWER goes, we all get it.

By the way, Redumdimski, I hope that you have heard the news bulletin that body armor is responsible for more deaths owing to malfunction at the subatomic level than for lives it saves? I'd quit wearing it, were I you.

User avatar
Father Prog, while I did not originate the term "feel-bad bomb" (some wit speaking of what would occur if women were to design weapons did: their weapons wouldn't kill you, they'd just make you feel really bad), I will take credit for it. As we all know, I'm entitled.

Some might say that the enslaver is himself enslaved. But I feed off others' misery. As long as they are more oppressed than I am, I can achieve some measure of satisfaction. If I perceive another as being better off than I, well, he must be beaten down below my level. I will not rest until that is true of everyone else. All must be more miserable than I. 0'Leader is fully steeped in this knowledge as well. I suspect some of his fondest childhood experiences are not unlike your own.

My body armor is like the Nanosuit in Crysis 2; it is growing into me, and I into it. And since it is a part of me, it cannot be bad for me. No subatomic dislocation for Redumdimski! It is not imaginary, you see; my believing it makes it real. As you pointed out, that is another aspect of Progdom. "We make 'em (rules) up as we go along", and we need not a shred of evidence or application of Scientific Method (no one believes in that outmoded old thing anymore anyway, consensus does fine for us) to know our way is korrekt. If it was not so, we would not believe it. A pox on anyone's house who denies what we believe. That's why we know we don't have to earn anything - or learn anything, for that matter. Everything exists for us. Including everyone else. Anyone who disagrees is obviously insane.

User avatar
Ah yes, the primacy of our feelings. We feel GoodFeelings™ and have GoodIntentions™ so that's proof. By the way, do not ever get on a jet designed by engineers who have been educated on this basis.

Proggery is the hatred of personal responsibility. I exist, therefore I am owed. I exist therefore I owe nothing. The entitlement is heady, you know. I recall my old days when I still had some ethics and thought that I had responsibility.

How awful. Now I can do like Senator Durbin, rape banks' income stream, and when they respond on the only way possible, call for a run on the bank.

Gangster government at its finest and pardon me while I sniffle.

I wonder if you are right about the enslaver also being enslaved; I think that you are taking too much responsibility. I have read about codependencies and even very strange people who are entered into some voluntary master/submissive relationships, and if you were talking about that, yes, the enslaver has some responsibility.

But if you're a really Made Prog, you are so insulated from quotidian concerns. After all, did Genghis Kahn actually look into the eyes of the people he enslaved or murdered? Of course not and he didn't owe them that.

He owed them nothing because he had the power. They owed him their lives because he had the power.

Now pardon me while I drive to Dallas to see if I can find an Occupy Wall Street demonstration.

Yes, Push-Me Pull-You is the one that I commissioned but unfortunately the ejector seat didn't work. I PAID to have Bruno's seat be a cordite-powered ejector seat. As soon as I got over 35 mph, it would trigger and I find that I ran out of money before we could install the parachute.

Krasnodar, you don't appreciate the difficulties that I have. I mean Bruno is the perfect prog: he's vain, and arrogant, and greedy, and he's at the center of the whole universe, of course. He redefines solipsism. And that's the problem. He embodies the Perfect Prog so it actually would cause ripples were I to kill him.

Just as people are even today saying that the Rosenbergs were not guilty. Of course they were guilty, but they did it for socialism which means that they were not guilty. Get it?

If it was for socialism, then it's not a crime. If it's not for socialism, it is a crime. Get it?

And that's the rub. There are, and I confess it here in camera, some people here who are too fond of material things. Such as Hummels or B&W speakers or Acuras or MacBooks. Too PUBLICLY fond that is.

You recall that silly rannygazoo over the big eco-loony chin-wag at Bali where they had to park some of the private jets on adjoining islands. The problem wasn't that or the food or anything else. It was letting on that it was happening.

Well, that and the cloud of smugness which infiltrated the whole area to the point that until the tradewinds freshened and blew it out to sea, even electronics quit working on the theory that it someone didn't have to because it was so empowered.

About Bruno... you could visit your subterranean dasha at Carlsbad, and " forget " to bring him back with you..... hey, it could happen.

User avatar
It doesn't work. Once I told him to follow me: I'd found buried pirate treasure in the Carlsbad caves. Yeah, pirate. Well, he thinks that Barbara Boxer is smart.

I tied one end of a long ball of twine to a rock and then we went through the caverns. When we'd come nearly to the end, by a very long path, I told him to wait for a second; I'd forgotten the tools and the treasure was locked. I'd be back.

"And so I can find my way back, I'm rolling up the string. See you in a moment."

He beat me back. Perhaps if I hadn't spent the time rolling up the string as I went..."

Father Prog Theocritus wrote:Proggery is the hatred of personal responsibility. I exist, therefore I am owed. I exist therefore I owe nothing. The entitlement is heady, you know. I recall my old days when I still had some ethics and thought that I had responsibility.

How awful. Now I can do like Senator Durbin, rape banks' income stream, and when they respond on the only way possible, call for a run on the bank.
Furthering the cause for continued Progressive Enlightenment: Father Prog, is there a compendium of all the Glorious Socialist examples of logical Proggism, like the one you included from Dear tovarisch Durbin, available at The Cube? I believe it would be highly educational to up-and-coming Progs and immensely enhance their Progress in the participation of accelerating (if that's possible) the demise of the Evil US of KKK as we transform it into The Glorious USSA.

Some might say that the enslaver is himself enslaved.” Actually, I haven't heard many others say that. Most are loathe to believe such things, but we are Rational Socialists, and so we must be Rational among ourselves. (Although you correctly point out that we should "not ever get on a jet designed by engineers who have been educated on this basis.
")The logic follows thus: We are all slaves to one degree or another. Slaves to our physical form, as a commonly cited example. We cannot fly without mechanical aid. Additionally, our bodies change over time, no matter what we do to prevent that. In concert, we are slaves to the way we process thought. The amount of information from our senses we can process at any given instant is limited. We all have certain expectations, certain beliefs about the way the world functions, and we are, under power of our own will, unable to change those beliefs too rapidly or too radically.
In the case of us Progs, we know our beliefs are Korrekt because we say they are. They are an internal framework we project on all we experience. It is our own Design that states what the World is and how it works. The World we have made. Other societies that have embraced socialism have failed because we were not running them, and because they did not have enough money. As we make the US of KKK into the Glorious Progressive World Of Next Tuesday™, we shall succeed because we say we will. We know KKKapitOlism has failed because we say it has. And in order to bring our Utopian World into Existence where all others have failed, we do not need to consult history. That is another imaginary device that we mold to suit us. But to bring our Utopia into Existence, We must have the full compliance of all others, all agreeing with our Will. Our Feelings are all-important, because they guide our Policies, and our Policies do not have to please the proles. Proles need merely comply with our Dictates and not interfere with our Grand Designs. The happiness of the little people is not important, and while their subjection can never satisfy us, it can at least take our attention off of our misery, if only temporarily.

After all, we have no choice but to be as miserable as our father, whom our precious Saul Alinsky honored in the first edition of his brilliant “Rules for Radicals”, which has done so much to indoctrinate
educate Progs over the past few decades, including our Dear 0'Leader.

This is also a prime excuse reason why we hate Christians and Jews so. Christians are enslaved to our Enemy, The One Who brings joy beyond the comprehension of this world. They have a Future and a Hope. Because they are enslaved to and – horror of horrors! Children of their God, they will not submit their wills to us. And Jews, because they are The Enemy's Chosen People, from whom the Christian Savior was brought forth. That One has caused us immense inconvenience over the intervening millennia. Fortunately for us, both groups are small in number, and weak in opposition to our Power. Our Power is in our Hatred. It comes naturally for us. In counterpoint
, this is why we defend our brothers the Muslims, for their god is our god, even though many of us state we have no higher authority than ourselves. We and they stand together because we know that “a house divided against itself cannot stand.” We know our future (but we daren't admit it to the uninitiated), and our hope can only be expressed in vague generalities that employ the stirring of FeelGood – since as you so accurately observed, feelings are all we have to offer, and they are their own proof.

By the way, how was your tour of the Dallas OWS doomonstration
demonstration?

Does every town have a Wall Street? Or is it merely that these simpletons brave protesters are completely interchangeable? Perhaps they simply don't know where they are.

And please, do not disparage your driving of the Government Motors vehicle obtained for your use. Made Progs must flaunt their status to the adoring proles. It's all right; you're not an Evil KKKapitOlist. You're For The People™ and The Children™!

Redumdimski, you have found that lovely Moebius strip of recursive fallacy without an exit condition which we use to define freedom.

Here's another one. If you make a choice, your freedom to choose is curtailed, because you have made the choice. So therefore there is no such thing as liberty because by definition every choice kills your ability to choose.

It therefore follows that there is nothing to fear from Strong Communism because Strong Communism is just the same thing as Complete Freedom, except with a slight shift in time. Freedom has the (socially irresponsible) premise that we ought to do what we want. Whereas Communism states that it must be for the Kollective, but in either case, once a decision has been made, the result is the same. End of freedom.

So there is no conceptual difference between freedom and slavery except in the postmark of the decisions.

Get it?

Father Prog Theocritus,
Once again, you offer the Cube a stunning tour de force in Party logic.

And its not even lunchtime yet !

Thank you, Krasnodar; I was led to this tour de farce of thinking by Elizabeth Warren, running against the RethugliKKKan in the congenital Kennedy Senate Seat in Taxachusetts, who said to some prole whining about wanting to keep his money--who does he think he is? Al Bundy?

"Government is what we decide to do together."

This is of course first cousin to my dictum, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours we'll talk about."

There really is no justification for private property because people with property have freedom. That monster Hayek showed that. That's why it is such an honor to labor in the collective for a moldy potato or shriveled beet. We do not want freedom; we want the freedom of never having to worry. Which means complete and utter control of everything.

I learned this from our Many Titted Empress, whose hair was set during her Porcine reign in the Clinton White House, by various people who then wanted to be paid.

"It should be honor enough to do the hair of the First Lady."

"Yes, but it was the pedicure of her hooves that made me spend a week in GWU ICU."

Father Prog Theocritus wrote:If you make a choice, your freedom to choose is curtailed, because you have made the choice. So therefore there is no such thing as liberty because by definition every choice kills your ability to choose.
Ah, Father Prog, you are well acquainted with the observer of Schrödinger's cat, with the choice acting as the measurement.

The underlying fallacy in your argument, of which you are no doubt aware but once again, for the uninitiated, and in keeping with my handle, I will state plainly, is: it doesn't account for who makes the choice.

For the “freeman” (what a disgusting term), the value of “choice” is that the “freeman” makes it himself. What is important to him is that he makes the “choice”, and therefore has a modicum of control over the outcome, or so he hopes. Also, he is in full cognizance that he is responsible <spit> for his “choice”, and that his “choice” affects primarily him and those with whom he has direct contact (family, coworkers – OOPS! Not so much anymore – , etc., depending on the point in time and space at which the “choice” is made). True, many other people may be affected by this “choice”, as in the case of a purchase decision, but the “freeman” still has effected what to him is perceived as a “choice”, and the actors affected are in a real sense quite limited in number and scope.

As Progs, that is, the Ruling Class, the choices we make are directed against upon the general society we control, and obviate the “need” for, or possibility of, individual “choice”, the elimination of which, as we know, is essential for the furtherance of our will. After all, WE, the Few, the Elite Intelligentsia, are surely more qualified and capable of making choices for hundreds of millions – even billions – of proles than said proles would be of making “choices” for themselves. As one of our favorite past Progs, the Great Bilious Clinton so wisely stated, “I could give you (proles) a tax cut, but you wouldn't know what to do with the money!”

That is indeed true freedom! To make choices for multitudes with no responsibility for consequences or outcome. For The People And Children™!

Redumdimski, it is obvious to me, a well-seasoned prog, that the value is who indeed does get to make the choice. That's all that counts, after all. Remember, "Government is what we agree to do together." And my favorite, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours, we'll talk about."

But it's fetching birdlime to the proles to give them the mistaken idea that they have a hand in their own little lives when really they do not need one. And I find it's confusing to the proles to have choice, because they agonize over it instead of shrugging and then either pumping out another red-diaper baby for the Kollective or hoeing the fields for more potatoes.

Or Occupying Wall Street or community organizing, or any of the other things that progressives do, as long as they do not actually make goods and services but redirect them to more "suitable" venues.

We have so improved over the Athenians, who at one time were ruled by twelve elected archontes. Each archon was made personally responsible for his actions and he could at the end of his term be rewarded, be dismissed, have his property taken, be exiled, or be put to death.

I shudder at that level of personal responsibility. Hell, why do you think that I became a prog except to AVOID PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?

Liberalism is defined as the hatred of personal responsibility. That's why we exist: to interfere with the natural order of things which in truth we have no business interfering with.

But don't tell the progs that.

The Athenians............

All right, Krasnodar, here's my thinking. Some erudite man or one who considers himself one, said that all of Western thought is footnotes to Plato. Plato and Socrates &c. thought deep and hard about the human condition and throughout it all they were insistent on personal responsibility. Much was made of a man's obligation to be the head of a family and to the nation-state.

If the man screwed around, that was fine, but he had to be the father. Paterfamilias was uppermost.

Now we are teaching people that they are not responsible. Women are married to the government, which is the de-facto father of their children, from many sires, rotating.

Dear Barry proposes the same thing over and over, spending billions of OPM, sure that he will not be held responsible.

We have come, in the Century of Marx, to completely destroy 2500 years of Western civilization. Now we are nothing but whining babies.

Before Marx, if you failed, you, uh, failed. After Marx, if you fail, it's owing to some externality and not only should you not bear responsibility, you ought to be rewarded because obviously it's not your fault because since no one has responsibility, everyone's effort is just as good as anyone else's.

Also, who is to say that efforts are equal? I happen to have had no trouble with say math and computer science; some people hate it. That means that if I start another Apple then it's just a so-so day for me. But if someone who hates computers figures out where the power switch is, and PRESSES IT, then he is deserving of a counselor and governmental help to retrain him.

See how the responsible archontes have been replaced by the land where nothing succeeds like failure?

It is indeed rewarding, tovarisch Krasnodar, to be so steeped in the Party Philosophy that our ramblings extend beyond thought to the very Essence of Progdom. That is why there need be no fear of reprisal or punishment – as long as We define the Politically Correct phrases to spew.

Thank Lenin we have Progressed to the State where no governing Prog would ever be held responsible for any action taken to destroy assist the Little People! I cannot bear to imagine living in a time when The Ruling Class was held to account by those they governed. To think (not that we engage in that disgusting activity)! WE were once told WE were the SERVANTS of the people when this was the US of KKK! We are enlightened enough now to know that the rules we make for the proles are never to apply to us.
Father Prog Theocritus wrote:…if I start another Apple then it's just a so-so day for me.
Father Prog, it is very good for you and indeed all of us that you are a benighted an enlightened Socialist Prog and not an Evil KKKapitOlist Pig. You will therefore not be disappointed to realize that current Progressive Federal Regulations make establishing another Apple something that is nearly impossible, unless you have teams of lawyers and environmental impact studies (and a few million in palm-greasing cash) readily available. Else you would not pass go, you would not collect $200, you would be taken directly to a Federal Re-education Center (commonly known as prison).

Or you could be the next Solyndra founder and be fully funded, then completely absolved of responsibility (as we insist) once you've spent about a half-billion of Evil KKKapitOlist Cash from a Guaranteed Loan appropriated by the Federal Government when the “business” fails within a year. Maybe The 0ne would even deign to grace your facility with His Presence.

As an aside, good Father, you have an excellent essay on the CCCPs that ties in nicely with our discussions in this thread. We have already been training up our proles from their youth for many decades to love their Daddy-Nanny State, and hate anyone who shows an iota of independence. It is always a pleasure to see our Useful Idiots, like the lovely, chaste (and likely destined to remain so) Ms. Comradette DeLauro, who knows that a woman's function is to have babies and hand them to the State immediately post-partum so the baby-machine may resume toiling in the beet fields and to repeat the cycle as she is inseminated again and again by rotating posses of sperm donors. The number of UIs like said Comradette who wish to join the ranks of Proggery (not that they have the requisite capacity to ever become Made Progs) is blessedly increasing at an ever-accelerating rate as concepts of responsibility, loyalty, and integrity <spit> continue to wane, while fealty to Us, their Lords, Masters, and Redistributors, conversely grows stronger.

Thanks to armies of like-indoctrinated minded UIs which our State-controlled media continually extol, it is increasingly easy to breed and train our proles (useful animals that they are) from their earliest days to happily beg Us for more control over their lives as We inculcate in them maximum subservience and minimum expectations.

Comrades, when I said that I could start another Apple I meant just that. Jobs didn't have any of the right papers. He didn't go to a fancy college and get into debt for a PhD in Textile Weaving of One-Armed Uruguayan Lesbians with Harelips; he refused to spend his parents' money and dropped out to see what he wanted to do and what he could do to make his life better.

Notice how he's being active in this, for which I revile him. We do not achieve. We demand and take. Others achieve. Does a pilot fish do anything? No. Does a barnacle do anything? No. It just takes. Same with a tapeworm.

Come to think of it, we Progs are tapeworms in the body politic.

Now for that perceived worthiness deficit. Some have said that Jobs was the world's greatest synthesist, never creating anything but assembling the best, coolest, most desirable products ever made with the longest string of home runs. But that was because he had a mental problem. Had he been born later, he would have had that difficulty taken care of with Ritalin. Who needs a "reality distortion field" from someone who says that he wants to go to bed having done something really and truly great.

We need someone who is a victim, flotsam and jetsam, self-incurred jetsam actually, in the Body Politic whose whining we can address and thereby manufacture yet another reason to interfere between private transactions.

Which must be stopped because they give the information of what something is worth, and empower people. The true socialist looks on the value of something as the sum of the labor and materials and there is no credit paid to ingenuity or brilliance.

Because as we know, the socialist is a leveler. He hates brilliance because someone might crawl out of the crawfish pot while the other crawfish are trying to drag him back down.

The innermost thought of the Made Prog is to hate the ray of light which shows off the pigsty.

Personally, I think that Schrödinger's Cat is the perfect prog symbol. Iran is nuking up; but not really because we're not observing it. Entitlements are collapsing, unsustainable, but since we're not observing it, it's not really happening.

But the obverse is true: if there is something that would be interesting to see, then we saw it. The Black Congressional Caucus has averred that when it forced its way through the Tea Party in the Mall, bravely forsaking its tunnels, that members heard racial slights and insults.

The dreadful Breitbart has offered $100K for video or audio of that; so far no takers and no half-way millionaires who would need to pay "their fair share."

But the fact that it ought to have been heard and seen means that indeed it was.

This is Schrödinger's Bitch. It barks all night even when there is no prowler.

If only Jobs had finished his korrekt Prog university education, we could've turned him into just another worthless whining sap Korrekt Party Member who would have never needed to display an ounce of creativity, ingenuity, or inventiveness as he sucked the life-blood out of the producers rightfully accepted his share of the Evil wealth from the loathsome KKKapitOlists. He could've been a high-ranking Prog stoner with so many of his generation. As it was, he attended Reed College just long enough to ensure complete imprinting of the Korrektly appropriate respect for our Progressive causes, inculcated from his earliest youth in California, staying with him for the remainder of his life - but he did not practice them in his business. (Except in his insistence on “the computer as a jail made cool”.) He committed the two cardinal sins of achieving and prospering.

But not to worry, dear tovarisches. Today's up-and-coming Steve Jobses will indeed finish their free State-funded (from Evil KKKapitOlist money we pilfer righteously collect from the Evil producers) Statist University educations, and they will not want to leave because Ritalin will ensure they are so zoned-out that they will have neither the will nor the desire to get up from their classroom chairs. They will happily join the ranks of their brain-dead, worthless, parasitic Great Socialist Citizen contemporaries, clamoring for handouts from Big Daddy-Nanny State and 0'Leader (or whoever represents The Power at the moment), demanding blood and treasure from anyone We haven't squeezed completely dry Righteous Redistributive Retribution, and death to Evil KKKapitOlism.

Ah yes! If it's important, surely we will make it known, even if we have to make it up. If it isn't something we want to acknowledge, we are Grand Masters of the cover-up.

And - very good indeed! Schrödinger's Bitch, much more noisome and unpleasant than his cat. Perhaps actually porcine and related to the MTE?

You know, Redumdimski, you impress me more and more. I, as Father Prog Theocritus, primus inter pares, as all progs are, hereby promote you to Commissar Redumdimski. You have convinced me of your utter nastiness.

I am of course eliding all the bits between "what we need to do" and "it's only fair" to "we can put our foot on their throats."

"Because we can. Just to show we can. Because we are utterly irrelevant people who need to big up by pretending to find nuggets of wisdom that only we can see."

Jeez. Sorry. I had to clean up after that one.

The very essence of progitude is bigging up like some male lizard or a lesbian NOW director to impress others with your utter rectitude when you have brought nothing to the table but an accordion file of grievances of which one or two may have some validity but the others are lovingly manufactured out of whole cloth and tailored into the most fetching suit of victimology and oppression, while you express anger until people pet your little head and eventually tell you to lie on your back, assume the fetal position, and have your tummy rubbed, just to make you part of the crew.

Meaning that you're in on the con, er, sorry, the elucidation of the heretofore-unrevealed wisdom of the Current Truth. You're eating the scraps from the Big Table, at which Diane Sawyer et al sit, and that's even one or two tables down from Bouncing Baby Barry Bama.

So the moral of all this is never think for yourself but we willing to have your head filled with mush, and then shout the house down whenever someone disagrees.

Because we can't have truth, logic, empiricism, or reason here, can we?

Congratulations, Commissar Redumdimski.

You haven't stood your watches at the protests, you haven't paid your taxes fair share of dues, how many trucks full of beets have you loaded?

Jealous? Oh no comradelette, I have many medals and awards from our armed forces. Some were earned the hard way, others were handed out to anybody who was "there." Of some I am proud, some just dangle and sparkle to make the others look good. Am I jealous of one who looks like a Mexican Corporal, with lots of medals? Nope. I know what I've done and what I've earned. By Lenin, I hope you enjoy your "title" and all the priveleges that go with it. Don't forget to modify your avatar accordingly.

....and the Golden Shovel of justice and correction currently wielded by Comissarka (an earned title) Pinkie is most unpleasant. Few survive the first whack, some make it through the second.

Good tovarich Tovarichi, the aromas of Che's kitchen call to me. To savor the Korrektness of Prog Koolaid... To wait with eager anticipation the crushing blow of Pinkie's Golden Shovel of Justice and Korrektion (I can but hope to survive the thrashing you endured)... To spread the nastiness and despair I have been entitled to dispense... The pleasure is almost more than this poor Prog can bear. By the way, Twinkies, with their spongy goodness wrapped around that delightful creamy filling make my stomach growl along with all those of our hungry protesters waiting to be fed by The Evil KKKapitOlist Man on Wall Street.

But... What is this? Not standing watches at the Protests? Did you not read about the TechToy Exploit I engineered - with no help from you, I might add - and then the near-riot created when I hatched a maskirovka and explained said toys had actually been reclaimed by the Evil KKKapitOlist shop owners to be re-sold to our useless parasites Glorious Protestors? If not for the incredible amounts of soporific and mind-altering drugs consumed in food-like quantities at the Protest, some serious damage to those Evil KKKapitOlists would have indeed taken place. Oh well. Our Useful Idiots' training will sometimes evince unintended consequences. I have a story to tell you and our other Party Members, that has a tangential connection to the effects our indoctrination education has on our proles - later, later...

Ah yes, and there is the pleasure of the subservience. Or so I'm told. I am tight with of course the OWS people, as they smear their feces on mom-and-pop businesses and otherwise trash them. It's their complete surrender to other people--to the progressives who will be unleashed to ride over the fruited plain like the Ring Wraiths and take money from people who are not paying their "fair share," however it is defined at the moment. However it's convenient, at the moment.

BTW, there are no eternal truths, except that we are right even if we were saying just the opposite yesterday.

A true prog, except one in the Inner Circle, longs to submit himself to the wisdom of elder progs who will save him the trouble of thinking, making value judgments, or even achieving anything in which he might have failed.

Bear in mind, we have been doing this since we started awarding "self-esteem," which is code of course for, "there is no personal responsibility."

Actions and reward should not be linked; that is the basis of freedom. Whereas attitude is all that matters, because it has no connection with value.

The problem with taking down AmeriKKKa is that there's a lot to ruin. A lot of proud people and it takes a while to turn them into a bunch of rioting Greek pussies.

But I'm working on it.

Tovarichi, I know that it is heady to be, er, nearly beheaded by Pinkie but please know that after a while, one becomes blasé. She wields a mean shovel, does our Pinkie.

Krasnodar, my mouth leads its own life.

Such wounds used to come with a medal for valor in the face of an Enemy of the State. Now it brings huge strangely colored lumps from a representative of the Party...

Wow! What a party it was. Progressive Kool-Aid flowed like mud, the women were all Gaia-friendly, and the destruction! Oh, so rampant! I feel devilishly dirty, almost like one of those despised kulaks of old – old as in, say, the Seventies, under our Glorious Grinning Idiot Carter.

Well, on to the serious task of demolishing productivity and wealth of all producers and polluting young peoples' minds with worthless propagandist garbage The People's Business. We continue to win, comrades! As ever, we continue to support the ignorant, the foolish, and the superficial, for those always win out over reason, enlightenment, and substance. We are the Ninety-Nine Percent, a tsunami of barbarism that destroys all in our path. But we will always loudly proclaim our rationality. We're for Science! We're for Gaia! We're Red Green! We're for The Little People! And those idiots Little People will always believe us, because we train them to, because they want to, because we're loud, and we're repetitious. It's been said there's a sucker born every minute. But we've improved on that. We're raising and encouraging suckers by the boatload, because as Father Prog states, we have no accomplishments to point to (save destruction of countless societies and lives, but we don't discuss that openly, da?), and we will always ensure no one else does either. We will always win because we always appeal to everyone's baser nature - their Lust, Greed, Sloth, Envy, and Hate. Useful Tools to stir up our Useful Idiots. Let's keep marching over the cliff to the Glorious Progressive World of Next Tuesday™!

I am wiping tears from this old Prog's rheumy eyes on reading this. How fast you have matured in the vicious science of proggery.

(I would say art but since we know that science has been utterly traduced in the service of Gaia, there is no more science. Expect your phone and computer to quit working at any second.)

It's not the truth: it's the seriousness of the charge. In other words, truth is what we say it is, which is frankly the gold standard, the prog money shot, of begging the question, as properly defined.

You have determined that with our friends in the Legacy Media we need nothing more than attitude and a certain polemical ability; they will pick up the ball and run with it. (Did you know that just as the fine dachas are the west of Moscow, the fine American dachas are in the Hamptons? Wait until you see Baba Wawa rousted out of her coffin on a news show and you'll get the full import.)

That fool René Descartes said, infamously, Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. This must be replaced by the Prog motto: Sum ergo debeor. I am therefore I am owed.

That is the essence of being a true prog: making someone else responsible for you.

But let me know something, out of curiosity: do the women at OWS off-load their, er, sanitation to someone else? Does it reek as much as I fear it does?

I pray it does; can you think of anything better than having a park filled with lovely Janeane?

And the progressive smell, too.

She looks like an STD virus at 10K magnification.

Just nature's way of saying " Do not touch ".

Caution and concern are certainly in order, and "Off Limits" should be tattooed under her navel by the Ministry of Health, but has anyone checked to see if she can shovel beets or do laundering for the good of the kollective?

We could always lease her "services" to the participants of the Rethuglikkan party debates...

Myz. Garofalo might be persuaded to perform at least a half-hour's work for the Collective
if she wears elbow high chemical gloves.

( That is until feels she's spent enough time doing her obligitory bonding with the common folk in the fields. If she's made to stay any longer, she'll throw such a noxious fit that we'll be forced to remove her from our midst. )

The problem, comrades, with Comradette Janeane is when she gets together with our Many Titted Empress. As you know, I have had to, er, replumb the Rancho because when our MTE would come over and get shit-faced she'd go on a rampage, and the destruction was such that only concrete floors, with a drain in the center, an concrete walls that could be sluiced down with hot naphtha could clean it.

The danger is the drain. Once Janeane slipped and such was her grease that she bounced off the sides of the room like a pinball and finally wound up suctioned to the drain in the middle of the floor.

The only secure way to get a purchase on Janeane is with grappling hooks. Which have the advantage of putting a length of steel between you and her.

Father Prog, my stony little heart swells with pride when I see the complete contempt of rational thought and the discredit of cretins like Isaac Newton that our State-run schools at all levels – KinderKare through University – inculcate in the now-lifelong vapid wastelands of the so-called minds of the “yutes” that would in another age be fertile fields for hotly contested ideas and rampaging romps into heretofore unexplored territories of the physical sciences, those young little cretins creatures who are now owned by us, the State. You had written that “we have been doing this since we started awarding "self-esteem," which is code of course for, "there is no personal responsibility."” I submit we have been actively advancing our Glorious Ideological Order since the Dawn of Man. So we have succeeded in sowing the seeds and reaping the foul fruit that is bringing the greatest society known to humanity US of KKK simpering and whining to its knees and taking all the world that smugly depended on it down with us, while the producers, those who should know better, are weakly whimpering with their collective head on the block begging us not to remove our boot from their neck lest we prepare to sever it from their corporate body with our Axe of Progress. Of course, we are severing it even as they plead with us not to with our Saw of Progress. We love the sound of their pathetic death-cry.

We Will Not Rest™ until the Evil US of KKK is smashed to powder beneath our marching shoes for which we exchanged our slippers, and the world is brought into our subjection for Gaia, The People, and The Children™ in the Glorious Dawn of The Progressive World of Next Tuesday™'s New Socialist Era while the rusting carcasses of the Evil KKKapitOlist toys - their computers, their smartphones, their automobiles, their electricity, their central heating and cooling, their indoor plumbing, their steel and glass towers of depravity, their infrastructure - lay abandoned and forgotten with no one left to repair or rebuild them, as the jungles and plains of Gaia joyously reclaim to her bosom that which had been ripped and stolen from her.

We Will Not Rest™ until the proles, every last one of them, are spending every moment of their miserable lives servicing us or toiling in the beet fields or making more proles to bend to our whims, their once-full bellies rumbling with hunger, their once-sheltered heads exposed to the elements through the leaky-roofed public housing we “provide” but will not maintain, their once beautifully clothed bodies wrapped in filthy rags. Because they know we alone care for them as we rule over them with our iron fist and our heavy boot, and because they know they exist for our pleasure, secure in the knowledge that the world we have made is indeed the best of all possible worlds, and never able to know another.

We Can't Wait™.

Oh – I got so carried away that I almost neglected to mention what sent me on my rapturous vision of Our Future. Father Prog, that image you provided – Be still my beating heart! Never since I first beheld our Many-Titted Empress have I been so smitten. Is that tattooed vision the lovely Janeane Gawdawfulho? If indeed that - Yes, I will write it, that GODDESS is indeed our dear Janeane, it is no wonder Dear 0'Leader finds her charms so irresistible as she whispers her instructions and marching orders into his ample ear.

Komissar New-guy, by all that is righteous and Party™ approved you are DENOUNCED! Right here and RIGHT NOW!
Image Nobody, but NOBODY gives Marching orders or instructions to the LEADER OF THE WORLD OF NEXT TUESDAY! You accuse him of being some SOCK PUPPET? The closest anyone gets is Moochele, offering menu suggestions ("...more LOBSTER!")

Be ashamed.

The People will decide your fate, but I'm sure it involves an extended "vacation."

Dear Leader.... a sock puppet ?
Just because Comrade Soros wears the President like an elbow-length chemical glove is no reason to come to that conclusion.
Even if Redumdimski is right, we still need to fill up the cattle car waiting at platform #5.

So poetic, dear Commissar; it is like a blood-red sun setting over the onion domes of the Kremlin.

Ah yes, and now to make sure that our Self-Esteem Scholars or perhaps Self-Interested Scholars (SISSIES) are placed in the quantifiable sciences. I shall not rest until Boeing can no longer make an airplane that will fly, and Apple is putting vacuum tubes into the newest iPod, which will be the size of a refrigerator.

We shall know we have succeeded when not only cannot Boeing make a plane that can fly, but that all the engineers involved in designing it feel really good about the plane, and Boeing has such a strong diversity-outreach program that Boeing will hire someone who flunked out of Calculus 101 at the University of East Asshole, Idaho, in preference to the valedictorian of MIT.

Which institution is becoming, by the way, a major promulgator of the Current Truth™ and therefore immune to the slings and arrows of unfortunate reality.

After all, AmeriKKKans need no knowledge other than feeling fat, entitled, and pissed off, and for the rest? We can get the Indians and the Chinese to do our engineering for us, because all that science makes my head hurt.

I ask you. Just where's the fun of taking a subject in which there is only one right answer for a problem? There ought to be as many right answers as you feel like on the day you're asked, and then you get to choose another answer if your first answer wasn't wrong, and you get to deny that you gave the wrong answer anyway and if you're caught on video or in writing having given the wrong answer, all you have to do is walk it back, claiming that, oh, someone looked at you funny and hurt your feelings.

Ahh... Good Tovarichi. Excellent, excellent. You are engaging in a time-honored Prog passtime: Transference. Accusing another of what you are guilty of yourself. To expound on YOUR accusation, perhaps it would be more accurate if you had called The 0ne a windsock puppet who blows in the direction our ideology has taught him.

Unfortunately, he has proven resistant to Change – which is unfortunate for him, since our Policies must change to adapt to our day-to-day whims and external influences even as our goals remain constant. In other words, we must be nimble on issues, adamant in results. We of the Inner Party may have to find Another around whom to build a cult of personality.

Do not allow such resistance to affect you, dear tovarich, or you may find yourself denounced – or worse.
