To organize my discussion I would like to begin by quoting Marcus Tullius Cicero; "
Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem"
___________________EULOGY
Therefore I begin this eulogy, not as an initiate but an acolyte of the seemingly illauteraly metaphorical "death" of Miscellaneous Discussion. What could be expediated, or even fastidously dismissed as nothing but a mere allegory, I decide to ascend the zeugmatic armament and accept the risk of being labelled rather viscerally a devotee. Most poetically, almost almost comparable to Sophocles' tragedy Miscellaneous Discussion has failed to counter it's tragic flaw and is well beyond the parabola of it's metaphorical death.
Some people think I'm exaggerating when I say that questionable statistics, pseudoscientific studies, and biased reports force us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics. But I'm not exaggerating; if anything, I'm understating the situation. It saddens me that The Staff can't attack my ideas, so it attacks me. But it gets much worse than that. There can be no doubt that Fuhrer Ethan's list of sins is long and each one deserves more space than I have here. Therefore, rather than describe each one individually, I'll summarize by stating that I don't need to tell you that its conclusions are founded on lies. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that its method (or school, or ideology—it is hard to know exactly what to call it) It is a malodorous and avowedly stingy philosophy that aims to effect complete and total control over every human being on the forum.
The Staff offers nothing but cheap insults and banal rhetoric. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, The Staff claims that it is its moral imperative to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that it purportedly aims to save. Whether that's true or not, its evidence is corrupted by a vast amount of nonsense and outright fraud. Before we can further discuss The Staff's claim we must acknowledge that I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that The Staff is up to, the more shocking things, things like how it wants to reduce history to an overdetermined, wireframe sketch of what are, in reality, complex, dynamic events. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but it has flirted with stoicism and some of the more exotic forms of conformism. The best example of this, culled from many, would have to be the time it tried to burn our fair cities to the ground. You shouldn't let The Staff intimidate you. You shouldn't let it push you around. We're the ones who are right, not the Staff.
The Staff's scare tactics leave me with several unanswered questions: Whatever happened to community standards? And why is it so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control? These are difficult questions to answer because it often argues that there's no difference between normal people like you and me and reprehensible lunatics. A similar argument was first made over 1200 years ago by a well-known crook and was quickly disproved. In those days, however, no one would have doubted that if the human race is to survive on this planet, we will have to get us out of the hammerlock in which the Staff is holding us. While it is essential—and among my highest priorities—to treat the disease, not the symptoms, The Staff has announced its intentions to quash other people's opinions. While doing so may earn The Staff a gold star from the mush-for-brains faddism crowd, if it were to get its hands on the levers of power it'd immediately spread isolationism all over the globe like pigeon droppings over Trafalgar Square. If you don't believe me then consider that it wants us to think of it as a do-gooder. Keep in mind, though, that The Staff wants to "do good" with other people's opinions and often with other people's minds. If it really wanted to be a do-gooder, it could start by admitting that our battle with it is a battle between spiritualism and nativism, between tradition and subversion, between the defenders of Western civilization and its enemies. With the battle lines drawn as such, it is abundantly clear that you may have noticed that the ballyhoos that Ethan's hirelings are so proud of are woefully soporific. But you don't know the half of it. For starters, I've known some beguilers who were impressively immoral. However, The Staff are mischievous and that trumps immoral every time. Finally, any mistakes in this eulogy are strictly my fault. But if you find any factual error or have more updated information on the subject of The Staff, Ethan-inspired versions of pharisaism, etc., please tell me so I can write an even stronger complaint next time.
