There are some comments I need to make regarding You Stupid Bastards. Without going into all the gory details, let’s just say that most people don’t realize that You Stupid Bastards has already revealed his plans to bowdlerize all unfavorable descriptions of his comments. He revealed these plans in a manifesto bearing all of the hallmarks of having been written by a bunch of ribald paper-pushers. Not only is his manifesto entirely lacking in logic, relentlessly subjective, and totally anecdotal, but our national media is controlled by power-drunk, disgraceful beatniks. That’s why you probably haven’t heard that only through education can individuals gain the independent tools they need to set the record straight. But the first step is to acknowledge that he keeps telling us that he defends the real needs of the working class. Are we also supposed to believe that he has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature? I didn’t think so. Here’s the heart of the matter: You Stupid Bastards is completely presumptuous. We all are, to some extent, but he sets the curve. He has been deluding people into believing that every word that leaves his mouth is teeming with useful information. Don’t let him delude you, too. Let me back up a little: Only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that I don’t need to tell you that You Stupid Bastards’s perorations are a cancer that is slowly eating away at our flesh. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that after hearing about You Stupid Bastards’s intransigent attempts to impose a “glass ceiling” that limits our opportunities for promotions in most jobs, I was saddened. I was saddened that he has lowered himself to this level. You Stupid Bastards claims that we’re supposed to shut up and smile when he says crotchety things. I contend that the absurdities within that claim speak for themselves, although I should add that I got off on a tangent. Regular readers of my letters probably take that for granted, but if I am to denounce those who claim that without You Stupid Bastards’s superior guidance, we will go nowhere, I must explain to the population at large that if one accepts the framework I’ve laid out here, it follows that what we’re involved in with You Stupid Bastards is not a game. It’s the most serious possible business, and every serious person – every person with any shred of a sense of responsibility – must concern himself with it.

Flattery will get You Stupid Bastards nowhere. It is also worthy of note that there is no longer any room for hope. I’ve said that before and I’ve said it often, but perhaps I haven’t been concrete enough or specific enough, so now I’ll try to remedy those shortcomings. I’ll try to be a lot more specific and concrete when I explain that You Stupid Bastards’s factotums consider his plans for the future a breath of fresh air. I, however, find them more like the fetid odor of Fabianism. He wonders why everyone hates him. Apparently, he never stopped to think that maybe it’s because his ideological colors may have changed over the years. Nevertheless, You Stupid Bastards’s core principle has remained the same: to promulgate partisan prejudice against others. If you don’t believe me, then note that the reason You Stupid Bastards wants to distract people from serious analysis of the situation is that he’s entirely intolerant. If you believe you have another explanation for his lazy behavior, then please write and tell me about it. The public is like a giant that You Stupid Bastards has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and You Stupid Bastards leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to tackle the multinational death machine that You Stupid Bastards is currently constructing. That’s why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that I have a New Year’s resolution for You Stupid Bastards: He should pick up a book before he jumps to the benighted conclusion that the worst types of vicious misfits I’ve ever seen should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers.

He is still going around insisting that might makes right. Jeez, I thought I had made it perfectly clear to him that he argues that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to his shiftless prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: If he feels ridiculed by all the attention my letters are bringing him, then that’s just too darn bad. You Stupid Bastards’s arrogance has brought this upon himself. It is easy to see from the foregoing that You Stupid Bastards wants his cowardice and irresponsibility to be regarded as prudence. And here, I assert, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in You Stupid Bastards’s tirades. To get even the simplest message into the consciousness of fork-tongued egotists, it has to be repeated at least 50 times. Now, I don’t want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following 50 times, but all the deals he makes are strictly one-way. You Stupid Bastards gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. One might think that his reinterpretations of historic events oscillate between capricious Maoism and silly isolationism, and this is, not surprisingly, the case. The first response to this from You Stupid Bastards’s minions is perhaps that space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: You Stupid Bastards has been, still is, and always will remain more psychotic than unscrupulous revolting-types. 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 You Stupid Bastards. I guess I can’t blame him for wanting to compromise the free and open nature of public discourse. After all, I want to give people more information about You Stupid Bastards, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here’s one conclusion I sincerely hope people draw: I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to advocate concrete action and specific quantifiable goals. And just let him try and stop me.

He wants nothing less than to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious possessions, hence his repeated, almost hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his useless, raucous-to-the-core flimflams. If the people generally are relying on false information sown by ungrateful firebrands, then correcting that situation becomes a priority for the defense of our nation. I might be able to forgive You Stupid Bastards, but only if he promises never again to deflect attention from his unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen. As for the lies and exaggerations, if he succeeds in his attempt to use lethal violence as a source of humor, it’ll have to be over my dead body. There are no two ways about it; if he isn’t slaphappy, I don’t know who is. I could accept, perhaps, mottos backed by the forces of logic and powerful reasoning. Expositions marked with hypocrisy and contradiction, however, merit none of my respect.

As long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, You Stupid Bastards’s intimates don’t really care that life isn’t fair. We’ve all known this since the beginning of time, so why is he so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? Well, I’m sure You Stupid Bastards would rather distort the facts than answer that particular question. I’m not the first to mention that those of us who have to deal with the victims of his beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) don’t find his slogans at all humorous. No joke. As our society continues to unravel, more and more people will be grasping for straws, grasping for something to hold onto, grasping for something that promises to give them the sense of security and certainty that they so desperately need. These are the sorts of people You Stupid Bastards preys upon. In any case, there are two related questions in this matter. The first is to what extent he has tried to encourage men to leave their wives, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become what I call disloyal pipsqueaks. The other is whether or not You Stupid Bastards likes to devastate vast acres of precious farmland. Such activity can flourish only in the dark, however. If you drag it into the open, You Stupid Bastards and his collaborators will run for cover, like cockroaches in a dirty kitchen when the light is turned on suddenly during the night. That’s why we must institute change. Here, too, we can see how his hariolations are like an enormous autism-spewing machine. We must begin dismantling that structure. We must put a monkey wrench in its gears. And we must study the problem and recommend corrective action, because I can reword my point as follows. The encroachment of piteous prank phone calls into the social fabric of our politics, our institutions, and our laws would give credence to my claim that I am making an appeal to the intelligence of the reader not to be fooled by You Stupid Bastards’s demagoguery. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it’s certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: I indisputably believe that it needs to be taken into account that it’s not fair for You Stupid Bastards to take the focus off the real issues.

Sinistral. I really like your hair. I always thought you were ugly too, now I see different with some of these newer pictures of you (Such as your avatar). Just thought I’d let you know. Your hair reminds me of a friend named Miles’ hair. Homecoming sucked tonight.

Before Mr. Hades Shinigami Q. Shinigami, Jr. starts ripping tendons and ligaments with his typical knee-jerk reaction to my letters, he should realize that his priorities are inverted. I begin with critical semantic clarifications. First, he somehow forgot to tell his trained seals that I sincerely can’t live with callous, rabid lumpenproletariats who deny citizens the ability to become informed about the destruction that he is capable of. What’s my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: What is his secret agenda? Unfortunately, I can’t give a complete answer to that question in this limited space. But I can tell you that if he is going to force me to lose my cultural moorings and become a rootless drifter in a cosmopolitan chaos, then he should at least have the self-respect to remind himself of a few things: First, there is an inherent contradiction between his predaceous form of denominationalism and basic human rights. And second, he would have us believe that might makes right. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. In Hades Shinigami’s toadies’ rush to join the crowd, they failed to observe that I am making a pretty serious accusation here. I am accusing Hades Shinigami of planning to infiltrate and then dominate and control the mass media. And I don’t want anyone to think that I am basing my accusation only on the fact that relative to just a few years ago, blockish, brainless freaks are nearly ten times as likely to believe that he is the most recent incarnation of the Buddha. This is neither a coincidence nor simply a sign of the times. Rather, it reflects a sophisticated, psychological warfare program designed by Hades Shinigami to make people weak and dependent.

Will someone please explain to me what it is in our lives that can possibly make someone spam the Internet with obtuse e-mail? Because I certainly have no idea. Have you ever stopped to consider the enormous havoc and ruin that has been wrought in this world by Hades Shinigami and his cringers? I have. That’s why I say that it’s quite easy for him to bombastically declaim my proposals. But when is Hades Shinigami going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? I don’t pretend to know the answer, but I do know that Hades Shinigami wants to get me thrown in jail. He can’t cite a specific statute that I’ve violated, but he does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that we could opt to sit back and let Hades Shinigami promote the sort of behavior that would have made the folks in Sodom and Gomorrah blush. Most people, however, would argue that the cost in people’s lives and self-esteem is an extremely high price to pay for such inaction on our part. Let’s look at the facts. First, only the assembled and concentrated might of a national passion rearing up in its strength can call for a return to the values that made this country great. Second, Hades Shinigami should feel ashamed of himself. And finally, we are observing the change in our society’s philosophy and values from freedom and justice to corruption, decay, cynicism, and injustice. All of these “values” are artistically incorporated in one person: Hades Shinigami Q. Shinigami. All of this once again proves the old saying that Mr. Hades Shinigami Q. Shinigami, Jr. will just moan and groan until we give him permission to shackle us with the chains of revanchism.

Man, this generator FUCKING ROCKS.

> [@deathstryke](#):

> I’ve reached a point where I feel the need to express my disappointment with Cala. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, Cala wants nothing less than to create a kind of psychic pain at the very root of the modern mind. Her allies then wonder, “What’s wrong with that?” Well, there’s not much to be done with grumpy traitors who can’t figure out what’s wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that I’m sure Cala wouldn’t want me to eavesdrop on her secret conversations. So why does she want to stretch credulity beyond the breaking point? To turn that question around, why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that there is a political agenda behind the “the best way to reduce cognitive dissonance and restore homeostasis to one’s psyche is to pit the haves against the have-nots” malarkey? First, I’ll give you a very brief answer and then I’ll go back and explain my answer in detail. As for the brief answer, it’s Cala’s belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to stigmatize any and all attempts to give her condign punishment. I can’t understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such an unprofessional idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that people tell me that the Cala-ization of our political and spiritual lives will keep us hypnotized so we don’t draw a picture of what we conceive of under the word “parasympathomimetic” in the coming days. And the people who tell me this are correct, of course. It’s easy to tell if Cala is lying. If her lips are moving, she’s lying. What I had wanted for this letter was to write an analysis of Cala’s ideologies. Not an exhortation or a shrill denunciation, but an analysis. I hope I have succeeded at that.

I think you should change the “she” to he. reference point shown below

> **[The RPGClassics Agora](https://discourse.rpgclassics.com)**

Lastly, I want to voice my disgust about…meh, it’ll never work. I don’t have enough hate in my heart. Plus I’ve voiced my disgust with the president on three other threads, as well as a number of other BBSes and to people on the street. I really don’t have problems with anyone here, since I haven’t and probably won’t meet any of you. In real life, that is.
