I NEED TO PUT IT OUT THERE: I’M SCARED FOR OUR FUTURE
A TOTALITARIAN FUTURE CRAFTED BY EXTREMIST PROGRESSIVES WILLING TO DO ANYTHING UP TO AND INCLUDING SAYING REALLY RUDE THINGS TO PEOPLE THEY THINK ARE SMALL MINDED BIGOTS
OR MORE — REFUSING TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. TELLING THEM TO GO AWAY. SUPER RUDE!
WHAT WOULD SUCH A WORLD LOOK LIKE? WE CAN GUESS FROM THE PAST. A PROMINENT EXAMPLE IS A REBELLION BY A GROUP OF PROGRESSIVES IN A BRITISH COLONY SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS AGO WHO STARTED AN EXPERIMENTAL NATION WHICH SHOCKED MANY AT THE TIME
WE KNOW FROM HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS THAT THEY HAD A LIST OF UNSUBSTANTIATED GRIEVANCES — NO CITATIONS; JUST A RAMBLING BUNCH OF FEELINGS AND ANECDOTES
WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT BECAME OF THAT NATION BUT WE DO KNOW THAT AT ITS HEIGHT IT REALLY HIT A BUNCH OF BRITISH LORDS RIGHT IN THEIR CALFSKIN WALLETS. SHAMEFUL
IT’S CHILLING TO THINK ON A GRIM FUTURE WHERE BIG SISTER RAISES HER EYEBROW DISAPPROVINGLY AND FIRES OFF A FEW EXASPERATED TWEETS WHEN A MAN EVER SO GENTLY SUGGESTS SHE PERHAPS BELONGS IN THE KITCHEN
WHAT RECOURSE IS THERE FOR THE HUMBLE SERVANT OF RATIONALITY WHO SIMPLY WANTS TO CITE A NEVER-REPRODUCED STUDY MADE AGAINST A SAMPLE OF 13 MALNOURISHED COLLEGE STUDENTS IN 1993
IS HE TO BLOVIATE IN PRIVATE?
IS HE TO BE BOOED AND HISSED OFF STAGE LIKE A DRUNKEN FOOL INTERRUPTING A MUSICAL EVENT? CAN WE LEAVE SUCH HAUNTING ACCOUNTS OF ATROCITY TO OUR PROGENY?
I FOR ONE REJECT THIS FUTURE
