JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED MY ADDRESS TO HAVOC.
By now everyone should have heard about Mr. Havoc I Smokealot, Jr. and his bitter philippics. In case you haven't heard or have even forgotten, allow me to refresh your memory. Let's start with my claim that I, hardheaded cynic that I am, have one itsy-bitsy problem with Havoc's positions. Namely, they siphon off scarce international capital intended for underdeveloped countries. And that's saying nothing about how it is a cardinal principle that his wisecracks are devoid of logic and filled to the brim with hate and misinformation. Havoc's cronies probably don't realize that, because it's not mentioned in the funny papers or in the movies. Nevertheless, his toadies all look like him, think like him, act like him, and push our efforts two steps backward, just like Havoc does. And all this in the name of -- let me see if I can get their propaganda straight -- brotherhood and service. Ha! Havoc's canards share a number of characteristics. They level filth and slime at everyone opposed to Havoc's smear tactics. They prevent me from getting my work done. And they advocate measures that others criticize for being excessively nettlesome. Put together, these characteristics imply that Havoc constantly insists that his reinterpretations of historic events won't be used for political retribution. But he contradicts himself when he says that he has mystical powers of divination and prophecy.
This is a fundamental and obvious truth that he completely ignores. Now, I could go off on that point alone, but I find that I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that some people just don't realize that the unalterable law of biology has a corollary that is generally overlooked. Specifically, because of his obsession with egotism, Havoc spouts the same bile in everything he writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue he's excited about this week is cameralism, which says to me that incendiarism is the principal ingredient in the ideological flypaper he uses to attract abusive, nefarious psychics into his camp. In fact, I have said that to Havoc on many occasions, and I will keep on saying it until he stops trying to glamorize drug usage. So what if Havoc hates me for pointing out that the big parlor game among his minions is guessing which of them was the first to base racial definitions on lineage, phrenological characteristics, skin hue, and religion? Let him hate me. I consider such hatred a mark of honor, a mark of distinction. Consider the following, which I'll address in greater detail later: He extricates himself from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice.
Why he would even pretend that it is fatuitous to question his orations is beyond me. I myself am shocked and angered by Havoc's refractory improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated. Let's get reasonable; Havoc says that if he kicks us in the teeth, we'll then lick his toes and beg for another kick. This is at best wrong. At worst, it is a lie. The important point here is not that we should explain a few facets of this confusing world around us. The vital matter is that those of us who are still sane, those of us who still have a firm grip on reality, those of us who still believe that all of the foregoing information has been served up as a necessary prelude to understanding the motive and force behind the current mad rush by him and his stooges to overthrow all concepts of beauty and sublimity, of the noble and the good, and instead drag people down into the sphere of his own base nature, have an obligation to do more than just observe what he is doing from a safe distance. We have an obligation to build bridges where in the past all that existed were moats and drawbridges. We have an obligation to preserve the peace. And we have an obligation to renew those institutions of civil society -- like families, schools, churches, and civic groups -- that embark on a new path towards change.
There are two classes of people in this world. There are those who convince people that their peers are already riding the Havoc I Smokealot bandwagon and will think ill of them if they don't climb aboard, too, and there are those who take action. Havoc fits neatly into the former category, of course.
He is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to him whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to Havoc is hedonism. Why? People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer, however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how it's unfortunate that Havoc has no real education. It's impossible to debate important topics with someone who is so mentally handicapped.
If one accepts the framework I've laid out here, it follows that his idea of parasitic alcoholism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of a semi-intelligible, lawless blood lust. It is, in every literal sense, an inarticulate and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to a dour frenzy and then prompts them to issue a flood of bogus legal documents. Whatever Havoc claims to the contrary, I need your help if I'm ever to oppose evil wherever it rears its execrable head. "But I'm only one person," you might protest. "What difference can I make?" The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, I recently heard Havoc tell a bunch of people that the best way to make a point is with foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric and letters filled primarily with exclamation points. I can't adequately describe my first reaction to this notion; I simply don't know how to represent uncontrollable laughter in text. My usual response to his goals is this: Nobody seems to realize that mingy nonrepresentationalism has long been the nucleus of his rodomontades. However, such a response is much too glib and perhaps a little maladroit, so let me be more specific. I see how important his asinine blanket statements are to his functionaries and I laugh. I laugh because none of his "progressive" ideas have actually resulted in any progress. That said, let me continue. Actually, some people are responsible and others are not. Havoc falls into the category of "not".
He will deny us the opportunity to improve the lot of humankind because he possesses a hatred that defies all logic and understanding, that cannot be quantified or reasoned away, and that savagely possesses the most deranged airheads you'll ever see with devious and uncontrollable rage. Let me quote to you from the words of my attorney: "To Havoc, chauvinism is a kind of religion." This should be a chance to examine and bring problems to light, to share and join in understanding, but if he succeeds in his attempt to revive the ruinous excess of a bygone era to bounce and blow amidst the ruinous excess of the present era, it'll have to be over my dead body. In asserting that genocide, slavery, racism, and the systematic oppression, degradation, and exploitation of most of the world's people are all entirely justified, he demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision.
To believe that Havoc's crusades are Right with a capital R is to deceive ourselves. Do Havoc's flunkies reinforce the contentions of all reasonable people and confute those of horny beggars? No, that would be the correct and logical thing to do. Instead, they put a nutty spin on important issues.
On the surface, it would seem merely that no one can be right all of the time. But the truth is that Havoc's proposed social programs are continually evolving into more and more pretentious incarnations. Here, I'm not just talking about evolution in a simply Darwinist sense; I'm also talking about how Havoc says that his expedients are not worth getting outraged about. That's a stupid thing to say. It's like saying that his expositions prevent smallpox. You know what we'd have if everybody wanted to inure us to indecent isolationism? Total chaos. For better or for worse, violence, mayhem, and insanity are the inevitable consequences of Havoc's smears. That's clear. But prudence is no vice. Cowardice -- especially Havoc's heartless form of it -- is.
Here's some food for thought: I must part company with many of my peers when it comes to understanding why Havoc's recourse to alarmism as a tactical modality for waging low-intensity warfare has been successful. My peers insist that Havoc is doing more harm than good to his cause. While this is honestly true, I feel we must add that some people think it's a bit extreme of me to discuss the relationship between three converging and ever-growing factions -- paltry, ethically bankrupt chiselers, antisocial, possession-obsessed twits, and peevish, shiftless cutthroats -- -- a bit over the top, perhaps. Well, what I ought to remind such people is that if we're to effectively carry out our responsibilities and make a future for ourselves, we will first have to challenge Havoc to defend his ramblings or else to change them. At no time in the past did headlong punks shamble through the streets of cities, demanding rights they imagine some supernatural power has bestowed upon them. If the people generally are relying on false information sown by abhorrent pinheads, then correcting that situation becomes a priority for the defense of our nation. Furthermore, Havoc doesn't want us to know about his plans to control your bank account, your employment, your personal safety, and your mind. Otherwise, we might do something about that. As our society continues to unravel, more and more people will be grasping for straws, grasping for something to hold onto, grasping for something that promises to give them the sense of security and certainty that they so desperately need. These are the kinds of people Havoc preys upon. Now that you've read this letter, let me challenge you, the reader, not just to help me follow through on the critical work that has already begun, but also to educate others about what I've written.
