My complaint about Lord Varok Saurfang, Sr.
Return to board index
Post by

I doubtlessly can't let Lord Varok Saurfang, Sr.'s misinformation and misguided arguments about racialism go by without comment. Let's get down to business: We must put inexorable pressure on Saurfang to be a bit more careful about what he says and does. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time. So don't tell me that his myrmidons favor a lifestyle that is as raucous as his opinions just because he habitually reads negative meanings into innocuous remarks. Some people have compared cheeky, cranky protestors to litigious wiseacres. I would like to take the comparison one step further: He keeps saying that laws are meant to be broken. In such statements, as in most of his propaganda, there are major omissions and layers of codswallop wrapped around a small piece of the truth. The real story is that Saurfang has reinvented himself as a deplorable, ridiculous undesirable. That concept can be extended,
mutatis mutandis
, to the way that he wants to alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with his current "reality". Personally, I don't want that. Personally, I prefer freedom. If you also prefer freedom then you should be working with me to defy him.
Nobody wants Saurfang to rob us of our lives, our health, our honor, and our belongings but Saurfang insists on doing it anyway. It must be nice to live in his little world, where the sun shines, the birds chirp merrily, and reality never rears its ugly head, right? Right. No one likes being attacked by brutal lunkheads. Even worse, Saurfang exploits our fear of those attacks—which he claims will evolve within a short period of time into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks—as a pretext to strip people of their rights to free expression and individuality. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that I've tried to explain to Saurfang's obnoxious brethren that those who stand too close to the canvas of history while it is being woven may erroneously conclude that Saurfang's rejoinders are Right with a capital R. As could be expected, they were a bit slow on the uptake. I just couldn't get them to comprehend that there is no place in this country where we are safe from Saurfang's blackshirts, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack.
Following this line of logic, it would appear that ancient Greek dramatists discerned a peculiar virtue in being tragic. Saurfang would do well to realize that they never discerned any virtue in being mutinous. My position is that he is unfit to hold any responsible position in government or anywhere else. Saurfang, in contrast, argues that power, politics, and privilege should prevail over the rule of law. This disagreement merely scratches the surface of the ideological chasm festering between me and Saurfang. The only rational way to bridge this chasm is for him to admit that if he is incapable of discerning the mad ramblings of pushy, phlegmatic cowards from the wisdom and nuance embedded in a sage's discourse then I seriously doubt that he'll be capable of determining that he believes that it is everyone's obligation to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. That view is anathema to the cause of liberty. If it is not loudly refuted our future will be dire indeed.
Saurfang has hatched all sorts of repressive, salacious plans. Remember his attempt to wage a clandestine guerilla war against many basic human rights? No? That's because Saurfang is so good at concealing his cruel, shiftless activities.
If you were to ask Saurfang, he'd say that he doesn't remember breaking down our communities. Not only does Saurfang have a very selective memory, but he demands that his prognoses be discussed in only the most positive light. To ensure that this demand is met, Saurfang sends his army of ill-bred phonies after anyone who fails to show the utmost deference when planting big, wet, sloppy kisses on Saurfang's behind. Still, we shouldn't jump to conclusions, even though it is a known fact that there are arguments that have made respectable people out of prevaricators like him. (Yes, letting him prostrate the honor, power, independence, laws, and property of entire countries sends a clear message to demented barbarians that they can break us up into a set of quarreling, wrangling, squabbling factions, but that's a different story.)
Teetotalism has impaired Saurfang's ability to think straight. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: "Saurfang is laughing up his sleeve at us." Simplism is dangerous. His biased version of it is doubly so.
Some batty big-mouths actually suspect that Saurfang has his moral compass in tact. This is the kind of muddled thinking that Saurfang is encouraging with his notions. Even worse, all those who raise their voice against this brainwashing campaign are denounced as presumptuous, malign nudniks.
Finding the best way to delegitimize Saurfang 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 one of the great mysteries of modern life is, What demons possessed Saurfang to steal our birthrights? The answer to that question has broad implications. For example, Saurfang's most steadfast claim is that he would never dream of preventing me from sleeping soundly at night. If there were any semblance of truth in this, I would be the last to say anything against it. As it stands, however, misoneism is a growing threat to society and should be outlawed. I'll stand by that controversial statement and even assume that most readers who bring their own real-life experience will agree with it. At a bare minimum, Saurfang's vengeful ravings stand as our generation's most prominent monument to extremism. I will now cite the proof of that statement. The proof begins with the observation that if Saurfang can give us all a succinct and infallible argument proving that he has achieved sainthood, I will personally deliver his Nobel Prize for Puerile Rhetoric. In the meantime, if Saurfang's ballyhoos get any more lewd, I expect they'll grow legs and attack me in my sleep.
Though I don't doubt the depth of Saurfang's sentiments, it's rather the form of his expressions that I find both delusional and disrespectful. People used to think I was exaggerating whenever I said that Saurfang gives his most banal statements an appearance of profundity by utilizing polysyllabic words such as "characteristicalness" and "floccinaucinihilipilification". After seeing Saurfang treat anyone who doesn't agree with him to a torrent of vitriol and vilification these same people now realize that I wasn't exaggerating at all. In fact, they even realize that if history follows its course, it should be evident that whenever anyone states the obvious—that ignorant and highly emotional persons are frequently swayed by Saurfang's bombast and fustian—discussion naturally progresses towards the question, "Does Saurfang contend that longiloquent troublemakers have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us because it fits his political agenda or because he's too ignorant of the facts to know that common sense should render unwarranted any claim that he is a man of morality, achievements, and noble qualities, one who often sacrifices his own reputation or safety in order to pursue that which is right and those things that truly matter?" While that question may not be as profound as "What's the meaning of life?" or "Is there a God?", I have never been in favor of being gratuitously coprophagous. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to increase awareness and understanding of our similarities and differences.
It's easy enough to hate Saurfang any day of the week on general principles. But now I'll tell you about some very specific things that Saurfang is up to, things that ought to make a real Saurfang-hater out of you. First off, he would have us believe that anyone who disagrees with him is a potential terrorist. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. It's undeniably a tragedy that his goal in life is apparently to rule with an iron fist. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that Saurfang intends to create a new social class. Villainous paranoiacs, crapulous perverts, and shambolic profiteers will be given aristocratic status. The rest of us will be forced into serving as their confreres. Many the things I've talked about in this letter are obvious. We all know they're true. But still it's necessary for us to say them because Lord Varok Saurfang, Sr. should get off his pedestal and walk a day in our shoes.

Why can't Lord Varok Saurfang, Sr. relieve his aching sense of inadequacy without having to suck up to adversarial hucksters? How long shall there continue beer-guzzling, violent stentorian-types to vend and two-faced curmudgeons to gulp so low a piece of irrationalism as his whinges? And does his oversized ego demand that he compromise the free and open nature of public discourse? This letter is not the place to explore the answers to those questions. Its purpose is instead to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. There are a number of reasons Saurfang isn't telling us as to why he wants to concoct a version of reality that fully contradicts real life. In this letter, I will expose those reasons one-by-one, on the principle that his bunco games always follow the same pattern. He puts the desired twist on the actual facts, ignores inconvenient facts, and invents as many new "facts" as necessary to convince us that courtesy and manners don't count for anything. To conclude, it is hard to ignore the impact of Lord Varok Saurfang, Sr.'s misconduct on our children, our culture, and our national character.

My complaint about Undercity
I have never aspired to become a speechwriter, politician, or mainstream political columnist. Nevertheless, if you can look beyond my pitiable writing style you'll indubitably see that I have something important to tell you about Undercity. It is worth noting at the outset that Undercity hates, with a pure and perfect hatred, all those who build a new understanding that can transport us to tomorrow. So don't feed me any phony baloney about how everyone with a different set of beliefs from its is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. That's just not true. I've never encountered anything as tendentious as Undercity's philippics. (Note the heroic restraint stopping me from saying that nobody seems to realize that Undercity demands its freedoms while unhesitatingly and hypocritically encroaching upon the rights of others.) Undercity harbors a sense of entitlement and an expectation of success beyond reason. Am I being too harsh for writing that? Maybe I am, but that's really the only way you can push a point through to Undercity.
It has long been obvious to attentive observers that Undercity has always favored providing a privileged and protected status for flighty, self-pitying apostates. But did you know that its deputies fail to recognize that I find its failed attempts to scrawl pro-Maoism graffiti over everything mildly amusing? It doesn't want you to know that because it may judge people based solely on hearsay right after it reads this letter. Let it. Faster than you can say "epididymodeferentectomy", I will expose all of Undercity's filthy, subversive, and destructive activities. When we detail the specific steps and objectives needed to thwart Undercity's superficial schemes, we are not only threading our way through a maze of competing interests; we are weaving the very pattern of our social fabric. I want to draw two important conclusions from this. The first is that Undercity's reportages feed on ressentiment of inferiors towards their superiors, and the second is that I want to unify our community. Undercity, in contrast, wants to drive divisive ideological wedges through it.
By that, I mean not only in the strictest sense but also the whole spectrum of related meanings. Undercity is guided by the ignis fatuus of statism, and I'm not making that up! If I seem a bit damnable, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Undercity on its own level. I feel that Undercity has insulted everyone with even the slightest moral commitment. It obviously has none or it wouldn't provide cover for an ugly agenda. If I am correct that everything Undercity writes is littered with spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, missing punctuation, irregular capitalization, false statements, and incoherent thoughts and sentences, then you don't have to say anything specifically about it for it to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should stand by our principles and be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.
In the end, we have to ask, "What will be the next object of attack from Undercity's faction?" A complete answer to that question would take more space than I can afford, so I'll have to give you a simplified answer. For starters, unless we raise several issues about Undercity's insensate actions that are frequently missing from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on this topic, no real changes will ever occur. Let's remember that. Admittedly, Undercity has little respect for laws or for any behavior that most people would consider requisite for a sustainable information economy. But that's because it's Undercity's deep-seated belief that jujuism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. Sure, it might be able to justify conclusions like that—using biased or one-sided information, of course—but I prefer to know the whole story. In this case, the whole story is that if there's one thing that Undercity is good at, it's spreading the germs of hatred, of discord and jealously, of dissolution and decomposition.
You may be wondering why the most obscene headcases I've ever seen latch onto Undercity's vaporings. It's because people of that nature need to have rhetoric and dogma to recite during times of stress in order to cope. That's also why Undercity plans to prey on people's fear of political and economic instability in the immediate years ahead. I'd like to see it try to get away with such a plan; that should be good for a laugh. You see, most people have already observed that when I hear Undercity's subordinates parrot the party line—that Undercity is always being misrepresented and/or persecuted—I see them not as people but as machines. The appropriate noises are coming out of their larynges, but their brains are not involved as they would be if they were thinking about how Undercity has recently been bouncing around like a kangaroo trying to destroy our sense of safety in the places we ordinarily imagine we can flee to. I mean, think about it. And now, to end with a clever bit of doggerel: United we stand. Divided we fall. Undercity's insidious taradiddles will destroy us all.
These crap are funzwr
