I won't sugarcoat this letter. This is a very bitter letter. Small children and the faint of heart should stop reading and leave the room. What follows is a set of observations I have made about pesky, headstrong proponents of expansionism. Contrast, for example, The AFL's viewpoints with those of incompetent traitors, and observe that there is no contrast. I, by (genuine) contrast, take the view that if it were up to The AFL, schoolchildren would be taught reading, 'riting, and racism.
Currently, The AFL lacks the clout to ascribe opinions to me that I don't even hold. But in the blink of an eye, it will have enough acolytes to prevent me from getting my work done. Currently, The AFL's beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) merely obstruct things. As you will see as soon as our backs are turned, this is only the tip of a gigantic iceberg. While it is essential -- and among my highest priorities -- to challenge The AFL's brutish assumptions about merit, The AFL says it is within its legal right to force us to do things or take stands against our will. Whether or not it indeed has such a right, the point at which you discover that in this case, the obvious solution is also the correct one is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that I want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to solve the problems that are important to most people.
To simplify, if you read between the lines of The AFL's ebulliations, you'll decidedly find that The AFL's jeremiads reek of anti-intellectualism. I use the word "reek", because The AFL's perspective is that anyone who disagrees with it is ultimately satanic. My perspective, in contrast, is that The AFL periodically puts up a facade of reform. However, underneath the pretty surface, it's always business as usual. By the same token, if, five years ago, I had described an organization like The AFL to you and told you that in five years, it'd gag free speech, you'd have thought me sappy. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how it's testy for it to destroy our youths' ability to relax, reflect, study, and meditate. Or perhaps I should say, it's intemperate.
The AFL's cronies have already started to inaugurate an era of unconscionable exhibitionism. The result: absolute vapidity, authoritarianism-oriented and violent cacophony, lack of personality, monotony, and boredom. The AFL maliciously defames and damagingly misrepresents everyone and everything around it. There's a word for that: libel.
The AFL recently stated that it holds a universal license that allows it to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that it purportedly aims to save. 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 if the only way to examine the social and cultural conditions that preach fear and ignorance is for me to have a conniption, then so be it. It would sincerely be worth it, because if The AFL opened its eyes, it'd realize that racialism is something to be prevented, not promoted. The AFL spouts the same bile in everything it writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue it's excited about this week is solecism, which says to me that we can divide its outbursts into three categories: paltry, deranged, and wishy-washy. We can never return to the past. And if we are ever to move forward to the future, we have to change the world for the better. The AFL's litanies are perpetuated by an ethos of continuous reform, the demand that one strive permanently and painfully for something which not only does not exist, but is alien to the human condition. One last thing: The cure for corruption, conspiracy, and treason must start by exposing the problem to people who care and are not themselves corrupted.
