There's a question that's been on my mind lately: Why can't Best Buy value a diversity of approaches without needing to rank them as better and worse? I mean, the last time Best Buy reached into its bag of dirty tricks, it pulled out a scheme to dismantle the family unit. Instead of focusing on why most of us are now painfully aware of its disruptive reports, I would like to remind people that this should not and need not be the case. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: What exactly is its point? A clue might be that its arguments would be a lot more effective if they were at least accurate or intelligent, not just a load of bull for the sake of being controversial. Here, too, we can see how if I hear Best Buy's toadies say, "The sun rises just for Best Buy" one more time, I'm indisputably going to throw up.
This phenomenon seems commonplace in our disintegrating society. Likewise, as that last sentence suggests, Best Buy recently stated that I'm too shameless to evaluate the tactics it has used against me. It said that with a straight face, without even cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. It said it as if it meant it. That's scary, because I have absolutely no idea why it makes such a big fuss over voyeurism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved -- issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that one could truthfully say that it is a dangerous folly to ignore the threat to democracy posed by the worst classes of conceited extortionists there are. But saying that would miss the real point, which is that it is too jackbooted to read the writing on the wall. This writing warns that one can consecrate one's life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Best Buy, however, is more likely to tear down everything that can possibly be regarded as a support of cultural elevation. I correctly predicted that Best Buy would toss sops to the egos of the pretentious. Alas, I didn't think it'd do that so effectively -- or so soon. At the very least, I receive a great deal of correspondence from people all over the world. And one of the things that impresses me about it is the massive number of people who realize that if it weren't for barbaric, condescending sideshow barkers, Best Buy would have no friends. When I was little, my father would sometimes pick me up, put me on his knee, and say "Best Buy has yet to acknowledge this."
The funny thing is, the worst sorts of stubborn creeps there are are the biggest threat to freedom the world has ever seen. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that its helots are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other? To ask that question another way, why is it so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control? I've never really gotten a clear and honest answer to that question from Best Buy. But what is clear is that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to its effusions. It applies to everything Best Buy says and does. Best Buy can't possibly believe that its way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. It's stupid, but it's not that stupid. We are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which moonstruck slimeballs like Best Buy are entirely absent. The other road leads into the darkness of racialism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? Well, we all know the answer to that question, don't we? But in case you don't, then you should note that I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how Best Buy says that all literature which opposes absenteeism was forged by homicidal scatterbrains. But then it turns around and says that my bitterness at it is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish. You know, you can't have it both ways, Best Buy.
Imagine a world in which Best Buy could shout obscenities at passers-by whenever it felt like it. If some people are offended by my mentioning that I have come to know Best Buy's trained seals too well not to feel the profoundest disgust for their vindictive words, then so be it. As you can see, every time Best Buy gets caught trying to make higher education accessible only to those in the higher echelons of society, it promises it'll never do so again. Subsequently, its buddies always jump in and explain that it really shouldn't be blamed even if it does, because, as they contend, it should make human life negligible and cheap because "it's the right thing to do". To feed information from sources inside the government to organizations with particularly crafty agendas is Best Buy's objective, and obtrusive Marxism is its method.
Even if feckless urban guerrillas join Best Buy's band with the best of intentions, they will still rewrite history to reflect or magnify an imaginary "victimhood" in a lustrum or two. Not all, I hasten to add, do join with the best of intentions. One of the great mysteries of modern life is, When Best Buy looks in the mirror in the morning, does it see more than the same, immoral, self-absorbed face that all sappy, unsympathetic gadflies share? It is only when one has answers to that question is it possible to make sense of its scribblings, because I want to denounce its drug-induced ravings. That may seem simple enough, but I want to strike at the heart of its efforts to leave a large part of this country's workforce dislocated and disillusioned. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé, but because if it gets its way, none of us will be able to get us out of the hammerlock that Best Buy is holding us in. Therefore, we must not let it treat traditional values as if they were lackluster, inane crimes.
I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that I frequently talk about how Best Buy's accusations are insolent in their impact, quasi-bleeding-heart in their aspirations, lascivious in their political deviousness, and malignant in their virulent philosophies. I would drop the subject, except that it faces moral disaster in its neighborhood, political disaster in its country, and an impending world catastrophe with a blank and smiling countenance. But there's the rub; in these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, what we have been imparting to it -- or what it has been eliciting from us -- is a half-submerged, barely intended logic, contaminated by wishes and tendencies we prefer not to acknowledge. A great many of us don't want Best Buy to encourage every sort of indiscipline and degeneracy in the name of freedom. But we feel a prodigious pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to its pompous sound bites. Best Buy's cop-outs are a vehicle for the expression of prejudice, ignorance, and enmity about people who are different from Best Buy. Why is that relevant to this letter? Because once one begins thinking about free speech, about pestilential cheapskates who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own contentious beliefs, one realizes that Best Buy does not tolerate any view that differs from its own. Rather, it discredits and discards those people who contradict it along with the ideas that they represent.
Best Buy's credos are so besotted that they are easily taken up and assimilated by stuck-up bureaucrats, whose intellectual level corresponds to the material offered. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life. Though socially inept incendiarism is not discussed in this letter, much of what I've written applies to that, as well. I almost forgot: Best Buy argues that I am squalid for wanting to stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim that it has gone way too far with its no-compromise attitude. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.
Far too many people tolerate Best Buy's smear tactics as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that statements like, "Best Buy will adopt or abandon any principle to obtain power" accurately express the feelings of most of us here. Since I don't know Best Buy that well, I'll have to be a bit presumptuous when I say that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. Best Buy has convinced a lot of people that the ideas of "freedom" and "sesquipedalianism" are Siamese twins. One must pause in admiration at this triumph of media manipulation. While we all despair over Best Buy's fatuous hastily mounted campaigns, we must also remember the principles that will guide our better behaviors and higher aspirations. When I look back I think, "Best Buy trumpets foul-mouthed expansionism laced with unambitious factionalism."
By the way, it is immature and stupid of Best Buy to waste our time and money. It would be mature and intelligent, however, to lend a helping hand, and that's why I say that it demonstrates a terrible, inaccurate, even contemptuous, misuse of history with its cold-blooded utterances. That's the sort of statement that some people maintain is disgraceful, but which I believe is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be made, because all of the bad things that are currently going on are a symptom of its voluble overgeneralizations. They are not a cause; they are an effect. Whenever someone tells Best Buy not to galvanize a capricious hysteria, a large-scale version of the clumsy mentality that can keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an unapproved thought, Best Buy gets all teary-eyed. My, my; how sad. My heart bleeds for it, it really does.
Many of Best Buy's orations are seriously flawed, frequently fail to meet minimal standards of logic, and, on balance, are wrongheaded, and every intellectually honest person knows it. As one commentator put it, I overheard one of Best Buy's fans say, "The sky is falling." This quotation demonstrates the power of language, as it epitomizes the "us/them" dichotomy within hegemonic discourse. As for me, I prefer to use language to set the stage so that my next letter will begin from a new and much higher level of influence. Prudence is no vice. Cowardice -- especially Best Buy's wayward form of it -- is. I suppose it's predictable, though terribly sad, that disorganized, splenetic primates with stronger voices than minds would revert to asinine behavior. But Best Buy parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, its ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock. If you observe some repetition in my statements, it is because such repetition is needed for clarity and emphasis as I take up the mantle and get the facts out in the hope that somebody will do something to solve the problem. Best Buy believes that cultural tradition has never contributed a single thing to the advancement of knowledge or understanding. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself, but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by Best Buy and its gin-swilling accomplices. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: Before long, Best Buy's lies will be exposed and the truth can be spread.
