This Carbon Based Life

Not content with attacks upon me or on my wife or on my sons. They now attack Dolly Parton. Ms. Parton’s long musical career is legendary and her support for literacy is next level greatness. But the first thing the cult does is to take away the ability to think. You could think wrong and now how would that look? It’s a polarized world now with no middle ground in between. Us them, you, me. Love or hate. Disney or DeSantis with no man’s land in between.

And if you ain’t us honey, you’re them sweetheart! And Ms. Parton’s charity extends to her Christian belief that all God’s children are special. For an exclusive world, inclusion is a dirty word. How dare she use the message of the Bible as a cheap excuse to share the message of the Bible. (Ding, ding, ding!) She’s not just non-cult. She’s anti-cult. Where does this whore of Babylon get off? A fancy lady in perfume and rouge! The kinda woman your mama warned you to stay away from.

Either you love Trump, or you hate him. Don’t listen to Dolly Parton, listen to Jason Aldean. Dolly is yodeling “I Will Always Love You.” Ole Jason wants to kick some ass! Be advised: we use violence sometimes when language fails us. That’s right, ole Trump is a fighter too! Cult messaging, we don’t like mamby pamby warm and fuzzy love and accommodation talk much.

Mark Twain once advised that nonfiction was required to stay within the possible, while fiction was not so limited. So once fully indoctrinated the cult will believe almost anything. Remember, Hillary Clinton is the best investigated under charged mass murder of our time. Any body found anywhere near the Zip code of White House, must be Hillary’s latest prey. I joke but they mean it!

Don’t you know why they want to take books out of school libraries? Because books are bad silly. Books have ideas in them, and the cult will tell you what to think. So, if you like books, may be you’re not to be trusted Montag. Opposite meanings in an opposite world. Guns are good and books are bad! [SECOND AMENDMENT! Hell yeah!]  Thus, schools are also bad as schools indoctrinate children to think. That is a level one cult threat!

We control the picture; we control the horizontal hold. Sing a few songs and show a little cleavage and I guess; you think you’re important. Where does she get off telling people to vote? That’s code! When entertainers tell people to vote they mean “Vote Democratic!” Entertainers should keep their mouths shut unless they’re conservative and agree with us. Take it away Jason!

Liberals are so intolerant they don’t like people with different ideas from their own. They aren’t smart and conventional like you are. You listen and do what you’re told! You’re conventional! No one is going to force you to join a union. Everyone should be conventional just like you. This is the way all good right thinking Americans should think. Just plain folks and the salt of the earth. Slow talking liquor drinking god fearing spouse beating, just plain folks.

College? What do you want to go to college for? Get a trade, work on elevators or something. That’s my advice for you maybe, but my boy’s going to college. But for your kids, trade school’s fine. Salt of the earth; what do you want to go to college for?

Don’t you wanna be “Just plain folks?” No pesky social issues keeping you up at night. No connections or emotional responsibilities to the world. There is no global climate change, so you go right ahead and burn all the hydrocarbons you want! It’s your right as an American to own a three hundred horsepower pickup truck for your nine-mile trek to work each day.

Due in part to cell phone battery technology and Tesla proving electric cars are both possible and profitable. A conspiracy theory is born. You see, it isn’t the rise of a new technology. It’s the (secret) government twisting your arm and forcing you to buy an electric car. This is all a part of the Green New Deal! So, either you love electric cars, or you hate them. It’s all a sinister plot, “lock the garage Junior, they’re comin for the Chevelle!”

But the cult says climate change is a myth and electric cars remind us of climate change. Ergo, electric cars are bad. Books in the library about Gay people remind them Gay people exist. Now imagine, you’re conventional and you think everyone else should be conventional, just like you. Thinking differently is wrong and offensive to them. And you do it on purpose, don’t you? Just to goad them!

If they can’t get rid of Gay people, they can at least get rid of books about Gay people. Don’t you, see? Isn’t it obvious? Books about Gay people make Gay people possible. This is all Gutenberg’s fault!

“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.” ― Aldous Huxley

It means that all change is bad. All change is subversive. Seeking to live in the cocoon of a time that never actually was. Ozzie & Harriet dreamland. “Did you lock the front door Ozzie?” Oh no, of course not. There’s no such thing as crime. I like Ike; unless you happen to be African American. Leave me here in my imaginary vision of reality. Let me soak in its artificiality and ruminate on lost things which never really were lost, but only thought to be lost.

When John Lennon said the Beatles were larger than Jesus. The priests, prophets, Pharisees and general kiddie fiddlers were all outraged. How dare Lennon say something like that? How dare he burst that carefully crafted bubble that mortals could never be bigger than the imaginary “Great one.” How dare Lennon expose the truth. They didn’t get angry because Lennon said it, They got angry because he was right about it! The Beatles were bigger than Jesus, and that was level one cult threat. Making the children look away from the shadows carefully illustrated before them on the conventional cave wall.

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.” ― Aldous Huxley
