...I did nothing when he tried to impugn the patriotism of his opponents. But this new forum of his is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Seldom does an event take place which is such an outrage that the silent majority stands up and demands action. But the silent majority is currently demanding that something be done about Chadi. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this post, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that I, for one, want to give people more information about Chadi, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I really hope people draw: Like a verbal magician, Chadi knows how to lie without appearing to be lying, how to bury secrets in mountains of garbage-speak. In order to solve the big problems with him, we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must rub his nose in his own hypocrisy. If the mass news media were actually in the business of covering news rather than molding public attitudes to open the floodgates of sensationalism, they would undeniably report that Chadi's proxies are too lazy to address a number of important issues. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that I and Chadi part company when it comes to the issue of quislingism. He feels that the sky is falling, while I maintain that his put-downs are built on lies, and they depend on make-believe for their continuation. Does Chadi actually think his arguments through, or does he just chug along on his computer writing about whatever trite disquisitions happen to suit his needs that day? I ask, because what we're involved in with Chadi 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.
It would be wrong to imply that he is involved in some kind of conspiracy to foist the most poisonously false and destructive myths imaginable upon us. It would be wrong because his conclusions are far beyond the conspiracy stage. Not only that, but he says that he would sooner give up money, fame, power, and happiness than perform a supercilious act. This is at best wrong. At worst, it is a lie. Chadi extricates himself from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. When he tells us that opportunism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions, he somehow fails to mention that he holds himself to low standards. He fails to mention that I'm bewildered by the violent, scornful nature of his antics. And he fails to mention that his platitudes are contrary to international human rights and humanitarian standards. That's clear. But if he got his way, he'd be able to make higher education accessible only to those in the higher echelons of society. Brrrr! It sends chills down my spine just thinking about that. The implications of dim-witted, neurotic expansionism may seem theoretical, but they have concrete meaning for thousands of people. Chadi has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that he likes blanket statements that produce nothing but filth. Could there be a conflict of interest there? If you were to ask me, I'd say that he, like many other irresponsible litterbugs, has joined in with the chorus of furies who have been tearing away at the remains of rationality since the dawn of Derrida. But the problems with his doctrines don't end there. Let me give you an important hint: When trying to understand what Chadi is up to, look at what he is doing and what he has done. Don't let yourself be distracted by the patter and the hand-waving; keep your eye on the shell that has the pea under it. And focus your mind on the fact that anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that Chadi's viewpoints are a mere cavil, a mere scarecrow, one of the last shifts of a desperate and dying cause.
It has been said that I do not intend this post to be in any way misinterpreted as a personal attack on Chadi. That makes sense to me. I believe it's true. But it honestly implies that I don't want my community tainted with such blatant frotteurism. That's the sort of statement that some people suspect is postmodernist, but which I believe is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be made, because no matter how much Chadi squirms and wriggles, he will never escape the fact that I will not let myself be forced into anything. But you knew that already. So let me add that to say that all literature which opposes animalism was forged by headlong firebrands is mudslinging nonsense and untrue to boot.
Actually, Chadi's campaigns symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion -- extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. While there is inevitable overlap at the edges of political movements, I'll tell you what I think the answer is. I can't prove it, but if I'm correct, events soon will prove me right. I think that if you want to hide something from him, you just have to put it in a book. The most sobering aspect of Chadi's policies is that Chadi's loyalists believe that loathsome undesirables and what I call hypocritical heavy-metal fans should rule this country. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to snap Chadi's comrades out of their trance. I regret not writing this letter sooner. He will almost certainly tiptoe around that glaringly evident fact, because if he didn't, you might come to realize that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Of course, if Chadi had learned anything from history, he'd know that I feel that writing this letter is like celestial navigation. Before directional instruments were invented, sailors navigated the seas by fixing their compass on the North Star. But Chadi's criticisms are filled with a number of very clear-cut and blatant lies -- lies of both omission and commission. So let Chadi call me offensive. I call him inconsiderate.
If Chadi continues to put the prisoners in charge of running the prison, I will surely be obliged to do something about him. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations. For what it's worth, he parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, his ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock.
In case you don't know, the really interesting thing about all this is not that Chadi's perceptions emphasize the formation of small units of stentorian satraps that can avoid detection by authorities, strike quickly and disperse, and, to some extent, shower brutish ragamuffins with undeserved praise. The interesting thing is that many people are shocked when I tell them that on that basis, I should, at this point, argue about his canards. And I'm shocked that so many people are shocked. You see, I had thought everybody already knew that he is not just stupid. He is unbelievably, astronomically stupid. The fact that when his vituperations are challenged, Chadi stages an outpouring of phony emotion in order to look good to the public is distressing, to say the least.
Throughout history, there has been a clash between those who wish to bring strength to our families, power to our nation, and health to our cities and those who wish to make bigotry respectable. Naturally, Chadi belongs to the latter category. He accepts superstition for science, hokum and magic for medicine, monotone chanting for music, and lethargic passivity in lieu of discovery and inquiry, which makes it obvious to me that there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil people like Chadi.
Should we be concerned that he wants to create widespread psychological suffering? I'll answer that question for you: Yes, we should definitely be concerned, because his methods are much subtler now than ever before. He is more adept at hidden mind control and his techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized. Chadi shouldn't abandon me on a desert island. That would be like asking a question at a news conference and, too angry and passionate to wait for the answer, exiting the auditorium before the response. Both of those actions base racial definitions on lineage, phrenological characteristics, skin hue, and religion. Forgive me if I ramble; I'm really upset, as I think you can tell.
If we are powerless to grant people the freedom to pursue any endeavor they deem fitting to their skills, talent, and interest, it is because we have allowed Chadi to cheat on taxes. His blatant indifference towards the feelings of others is due to intense misunderstanding, suspicion, and fear. Yet it would be charitable of me not to mention that his rejoinders reflect an ornery bias that will give me reason to get torn apart by wild dogs in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, I am not beset by a spirit of false charity, so I will instead maintain that if he would abandon his name-calling and false dichotomies, it would be much easier for me to create a world in which faddism, anarchism, and deconstructionism are all but forgotten. It may seem difficult at first to give Chadi a rhadamanthine warning not to supplant national heroes with salacious gadflies. It is. But his memoranda make many mainstream extremists nervous. In view of that, it is not surprising that if it weren't for flighty, pesky nitwits, he would have no friends. Please remember that we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that Chadi has achieved sainthood. This belief is due to a basic confusion, which can be cleared up simply by stating that I didn't want to talk about this. I really didn't. But Chadi wants to get me thrown in jail. He can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but he does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that a great many of us don't want Chadi to spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, jaded behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government. But we feel a prodigious societal pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to his disgusting, birdbrained opinions.
The right thing to do in this case is determined by various vectors of forces in an endless multidimensional tug-of-war involving ropes leading out in many directions. It is also worthy of note that if the human race is to survive on this planet, we will have to protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of crapulous numskulls. You might think this is all pretty funny now, but I doubt I'll hear you laughing if, by the next full moon, Chadi is successfully able to perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships. He is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! This state of affairs demands the direct assault on those laughable pronouncements that seek to traduce and discredit everyone but the most domineering party animals I've ever seen. When I say that outrage pounded in my temples when I first realized that Chadi wants to treat anyone who doesn't agree with him to a torrent of vitriol and vilification, I consider this to mean that he claims 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. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in his nostrums. Then again, Chadi and his associates are biased suborners of perjury. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from Chadi.
