A Prophet Debates Global Warming & other Related Dogma
"For anyone who's interested, this will be included in "The Bible: 3.0 - The Newest Testament." It's called, "A Prophet Debates Global Warming & other Related Dogma." And lemme tell ya, I'm not kidding. Not at all."
So, you wanna find out about global warming? No problem. It's easy. There are dozens, maybe hundreds, possibly millions of articles touting the potential horrors associated with the phenomenon. Stories about dying polar bears, whole cities drowning and being wiped off the map with millions starving. If it's bad, the amount written by mainstream outlets is voluminous.
But, challenge this orthodox view, and you will be marginalized and hunted like a malignant beast. The cool kids will out you as a freak to be despised and driven from polite society. The shouting will get so loud you'd think they were after a child molester. But no, child molesters increasingly get sympathy, just as long as they don't act out their fantasies or happen to be republicans (which to some, is basically the same thing).
A global warming denier, however, is equal to someone who asks "Is Bruce Jenner really a woman?" In fact, you don't even have to deny global warming, you just have to question it and the hounds will be released, the torches lit and the villagers sent forth looking for heretics and monsters. I mean, come on, this is the end of the world we're talking about, how could you be so callous in your disregard for the truth. Don't 93%, maybe 97%, possibly 99 & 1/2% agree?
My answer to that is, "Not even close, you lemmings." You pathetic, whimpering children!" By the way, I'm not denying anything. But, I sure as hell am questioning it. That 93% number is pure fiction, you're not going to know that, though, if you don't dig deep enough to get past the hype, the horseshit, and the politically motivated disinformation.
"Yes, but who wants to be an outsider looking in at all the beautiful people partying and driving cool cars, wearing cool clothes and stuff. If I could be a cool outsider, maybe. But an uncool outsider, shit that's too much like high school. Nobody wants to get picked on."
Yeah, well bring it, you leftist worms. Let's see how far we can shove this propaganda up your smarmy little asses. You totalitarian, Che Guevara worshipping, I'm so sensitive I could cry at the sight of a baby fawn, a baby moose--an actual human baby, though, not so much. I mean, is it a fetus? Does it have rights? If we're not careful it's just matter of time before someone asks "Is it really OK to kill...I mean abort...I mean terminate a baby....a fetus is what I meant to say.
"Wow! All this political correctness is exhausting. I've never jumped thru so many mental hoops to get my personal philosophy to align with some reasonable definition of moral sanity.'
And you/me/we wonder how Germany, that most enlightened of countries gave us two, count em two global wars, Fascism, the Nazis, genocide and more than a hundred million dead. It's called self-delusion, greed, and self-interest elevated to a lifestyle, at which point propaganda is simply a case of normally rational people justifying their worst impulses as enlightenment. Then, all you gotta do is shut down dissent and willfully, blindly give enormous power to "The State."
"Yeah, they'll get us our stuff, cause I'm entitled to stuff, lots of stuff. That's the ticket."
Repeating this like a mantra over and over will do the trick. If not, repeat it again and again and eventually you'll get it.
The rest, well that's what happens when the cool kids get all the power and the rest of us are just happy to be invited to the party. Nobody wants to be left out. So, inclusiveness or inclusivity or some kind of inclusion is where it's at, and that's what will be written on their gravestones.
"They were included. They were a part of the gang. They're dead."
With that, the sun set on America and the world went down the toilet. But, they belonged, and that's what really mattered. No more being left out. Because feelings are better than facts. "Who's to say what facts are anyway? Nobody really knows anything, do they?" This was more than post-modernism, it was post-post modernism, the latest philosophical fad for a pre-apocalyptic world, and all the hip kids were doing it.
"You know you're lost in a crazy mixed-up world when even your justifications have justifications."
And so, the last scoundrels pleaded their cause and made all apologies to whoever was left. The rest of us, we simply slipped into history, after a brief shining moment, unremembered and long forgotten.
