EVE General Discussion

With all due respect, even when the CSM isn't lying, it's using facts, emphasizing facts, bearing down on facts, sliding off facts, quietly ignoring facts, and, above all, interpreting facts in a way that will enable it to grasp at straws, trying to find increasingly daft ways to trade fundamental human rights for a cheap "guarantee" of safety and security. I repeat: The CSM has separate, oftentimes antipodal, interests from ours. For instance, it's intererested in using threats of fiscal harm to coerce ill-bred, devious doofuses into ignoring compromise and focusing solely on its personal agenda. In contrast, my interests—and perhaps yours as well—include telling people that I, for one, cannot believe how many actual, physical, breathing, thinking people have fallen for the CSM's subterfuge. I'm totally stunned. We must raise several issues about the CSM's cynical commentaries that are frequently missing from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on this topic. This is a terrible and awesome responsibility—a crushing responsibility. However, if we stick together we can can show the world that now that I've been exposed to the CSM's stances I must admit that I don't completely understand them. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps the CSM really struck a nerve with me when it said that Tartuffism is the only alternative to nonrepresentationalism. That lie is a painful reminder that finding the best way to address the continued social injustice shown by what I call pusillanimous pickpockets is a challenging problem indeed. We must therefore tackle this problem with more determination, more tenacity, and more fanaticism than it has ever been tackled before. Only then will people realize that the querulous, demented blaguers that comprise the CSM's flock are as thick as thieves. If one of them is willing to destroy our youths' ability to relax, reflect, study, and meditate, then they all are. What's more, none of them is able to accept that the CSM's criticisms of my posts 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 the CSM's "I think … I believe … I feel" game.

The CSM never tires of telling us that its principles are intelligent, commonsensical, and entirely consonant with the views of ordinary people. That's why I feel obligated to respond by reminding everyone that the CSM contends that the best way to make a point is with foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric and posts filled primarily with exclamation points. Sounds rather maladroit, doesn't it? Well, that's the CSM for you.

It seems ironic that the CSM's utterances are a gangrenous putrefaction that serves only to dam the flow of effective communication, given that it 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. Let me move now from the abstract to the concrete. That is, let me give you a (mercifully) few examples of the CSM's outrageous ineptitude. For starters, it is frightened that we might lend support to the thesis that it fears nothing more than the truth. That's why it's trying so hard to prevent whistleblowers from reporting that it never stops boasting about its generous contributions to charitable causes. As far as I can tell, however, the CSM's claimed magnanimousness is absolutely chimerical, and, furthermore, it's time to step things up a notch and expose its malversation, but that's a story for another time. For now, I want to focus on the way that you don't have to say anything specifically about the CSM for it to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should get it off our backs.

We no longer have the luxury of indulging in universalist, altruistic principles that, no matter how noble they may appear, have enabled the worst kinds of fatuitous, ethically bankrupt uncivilized-types I've ever seen to lock people who need our help into a vicious cycle of indigence and ignorance. Can you believe that the CSM actually stated that it serves as wisdom to the mighty and succor to the brave? I myself was stunned until I remembered that the CSM's cankered conclusions have caused a deepening feeling of ennui and lethargy to grip society. Am I aware of how the CSM will react when it reads that last sentence? Yes. Do I care? No, because I've heard it say that it holds a universal license that allows it to do away with intellectual honesty. Was that just a slip of the lip, or is the CSM secretly trying to submerge us in a sea of sensationalism? I confess that I don't know the answer to that question. I do know, however, that if one accepts the framework I've laid out here, it follows that when the CSM tells us that pesky moral weaklings aren't ever officious, it somehow fails to mention that its ruses have nothing to do with freedom and honor but everything to do with recidivism. It fails to mention that it spews lies as easily as a cuttlefish squirts out ink. And it fails to mention that I would unmistakably like to believe that it acts with our interests in mind. I really would. But the CSM sure makes it difficult to believe such things. For instance, it is out to force us to bow down low before appalling lamebrains. And when we play its game, we become accomplices.

As another disquieting tidbit the following must be stated: Rigid adherence to dogmatic purity will lead only to disunity while we clearly need unity to encourage open, civic engagement. To be utterly candid, we wouldn't currently have a problem with ruffianism if it weren't for The Mittani. Although he created the problem, aggravated the problem, and escalated the problem, The Mittani insists that he can solve the problem if we just grant him more power. How naïve does he think we are? Truly, The Mittani and his supporters are, by nature, unsavory losels. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but I support those who devote their life to education and activism. It is through their tireless efforts that people everywhere are learning that The Mittani claims that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. I respond that I predict catastrophe.

I like to speak of The Mittani as "diabolic". That's a reasonable term to use, I profess, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, he has been deluding people into believing that power, politics, and privilege should prevail over the rule of law. Don't let him delude you, too. The first response to this from his jackals is perhaps that crafty sideshow barkers should be given absolute authority to create profound emotional distress for people on both sides of the issue. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: He is an inspiration to neurotic Zendiks everywhere. They panegyrize The Mittani's crusade to palliate and excuse the atrocities of his cringers, and, more importantly, they don't realize that The Mittani is absolutely determined to believe that the Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel, and he's not about to let facts or reason get in his way.

I would love to be a fly on the wall near where The Mittani and his camorra meet. I'd love to hear how those petty, power-drunk jabberers come up with their socially inept schemes for preventing us from recognizing the vast and incomparable achievements, contributions, and discoveries that are the product of our culture. Then, I'd finally be able to back up my claim that what The Mittani is doing is not an innocent, recreational sort of thing. It is a criminal activity, it is an immoral activity, it is a socially destructive activity, and it is a profoundly morally questionable activity.

The largest problem, however, is that the central paradox of The Mittani's opuscula, the twist that makes The Mittani's cop-outs so irresistible to debauched agitators, is that these people truly believe that our only chance of saving the planet is to accept unending regulations and straightjacket "reforms" from The Mittani's cultists. Having already explained that The Mittani's unconscious preoccupation with a subjective cognizance of reality leads him to enslave us, suppress our freedom, regiment our lives, confiscate our property, and dictate our values, let me now state that malodorous liars and cheats are more susceptible to his brainwashing tactics than are any other group. Like water, their minds take the form of whatever receptacle The Mittani puts them in. They then lose all recollection that The Mittani has an uncanny knack for making evil appear good and good appear evil. We can therefore extrapolate that The Mittani constantly insists that black is white and night is day. But he contradicts himself when he says that there won't be any blowback from his fostering and intensifying his drug-drenched drama of immorality. I assume that The Mittani is unaware of his obligation not to utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques, as this unawareness would be consistent with his prior displays of ignorance. My mother always told me, "If you don't have something intelligent to say, just keep quiet." Apparently, The Mittani's mother never told him that.

Just to add a little more perspective, I stand by what I've written before, that The Mittani's view is that violence and prejudice are funny. If The Mittani's doctrinaire, mephitic subalterns had any moral or intellectual training, such a position would definitely be rendered revolting to their better feelings. The Mittani's confidants argue that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and kicked in the face by such a noble creature as The Mittani. These are the same contemptible cadgers who open the gates of Hell. This is no coincidence; there are some malefic wing nuts who are small-minded. There are also some who are conceited. Which category does The Mittani fall into? If the question overwhelms you, I suggest you check "both".

The Mittani's flunkies are too lazy to induce The Mittani to perceive his errors of perception and judgment and make him realize that we must get beyond name-calling. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that mass anxiety is the equivalent of steroids for The Mittani. If we feel helpless, The Mittani is energized and ramps up his efforts to embark on wholesale torture and slaughter of innocent civilians. His vindictive attempt to construct a creative response to my previous post was absolutely pitiful. Really, The Mittani, stringing together a bunch of solecistic insults and seemingly random babble is hardly effective. It simply proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that by writing this post, I am indeed sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that The Mittani will retaliate against me. He'll most likely try to force me to fall into the trap of thinking that he has achieved sainthood although another possibility is that he shouldn't rebrand local churches as faith-based emporia teeming with impulse-buy items. 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 make empty promises.

I'm impressed you could type all this while blowing yourself.

actually he didn't mastermind the events of last year he just supported what the players were already doing so please get you facts right.

Holy **** this guy types a lot, How about a 1 paragraph summary because asking for a 1 sentence summary would be impossible from this guy.

I'd like to add a REAL LIFE story to this thread in fact.

It's all about YOUR PERCEPTIONS.

Back in the late 1990's early 2000's California had awful energy problems. So the state decided it had to have rolling blackouts in LA county in order to cope with the amount of electricity that people were using.
(Later this got fixed by the governator).

Also in Cali there's a NASA Deep Space observatory.

So the first night of rolling blackouts came and the lights went out.

Suddenly the switchboard at the NASA DSO goes berzerk. Thousands of people were calling in. They all asked one question.

"What are all those lights in the sky?"

So the NASA people calmly told them it was the stars and hung up.

Now had you asked those people the day before if they knew what the night sky looked like - they all would've sworn on a stack of bibles that they did - furthermore they would've laughed at you for asking the question.

They couldn't see past their bright city to actually see the truth of the night sky.

Perception is everything to some people too. Please keep this in mind when you vote.

True story.

I just saw the funniest thing in this thread:

Guy starts a reply by giving the TL:DR ..... Then has to continue the post below. Spit beer everywhere and woke up the dog. Bro, TL;DR is supposed to be concise version-if it is 2 posts long-you doing it wrong.

The aliteration used by the author somehow evokes feelings of something in the reader because of the repetition of P 'power and politics and propaganda'

Edit: Somehow made it make a bit more sense

you use this word... but I do not think it means what you think it means.

I had some witty commet I was going to say...but scrolling past all of the writing to get to reply has actually made me forget
