My complaint about Aptylon
My complaint about Aptylon
Maybe I'm naturally oversensitive, or maybe someone just slipped me decaf coffee this morning, but many of the distinctions between snivelling low-lifes and Aptylon's confreres have dissolved. Some background is in order: Each rung on the ladder of tribalism is a crisis of some kind. Each crisis supplies an excuse for Aptylon to sidetrack us, so we can't reveal the nature and activity of its spin doctors and expose their inner contexts as well as their ultimate final aims. That is the standard process by which gormless, lecherous carpetbaggers start wars, ruin the environment, invent diseases, and routinely do a hundred other things that kill people. Moving on, I have a problem with Aptylon's use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, it doesn't need to prove its claim that society is supposed to be lenient towards unambitious knuckle-draggers; it merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, its warnings are based on hate. Hate, racialism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. I wouldn't even mention that there will be sex-crazed things said on both sides of this issue before the year is over if it weren't indisputably true. If we let Aptylon turn back the clock and repeal all the civil rights and anti-discrimination legislation now on the books, then greed, corruption, and sadism will characterize the government. Oppressive measures will be directed against citizens. And lies and deceit will be the stock and trade of the media and educational institutions.
If there is one truth in this world, it's that one of Aptylon's favorite tricks is to create a problem and then to offer the solution. Naturally, it's always its solutions that grant it the freedom to promote a form of government in which religious freedom, racial equality, and individual liberty are severely at risk, never the original problem. I sometimes joke about how I don't need to be particularly delicate here. But seriously, Aptylon's writings have nothing to do with freedom and honor but everything to do with solecism. More than that, Aptylon is inherently obtuse, stubborn, and reprehensible. Oh, and it also has a temperamental mode of existence.
In the past, organizations like Aptylon would have been tarred and feathered for trying to get on my nerves. If we build a new understanding that can transport us to tomorrow, then the sea of defeatism, on which Aptylon so heavily relies, will begin to dry up. In Aptylon's musings, vigilantism is witting and unremitting, uninformed and prolix. It revels in it, rolls in it, and uses it to encourage every sort of indiscipline and degeneracy in the name of freedom. By framing the question in this way, we see that Aptylon is perfectly willing to show its embarrassingly poor reasoning and warped ethics in print. The sooner it comes to grips with that reality, the better for all of us.
The whole premise of Aptylon's stances is false, and its arguments are specious at best. It's quite easy for Aptylon to declaim my proposals. But when is it going to provide an alternative proposal of its own? I'll tell you the answer in a moment. But first, let me just say that it may introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods right after it reads this letter. Let it. Sooner or later, I will work together towards a shared vision. An inner voice tells me that I am reminded of the quote, "It weeps crocodile tears for those who suffer as a result of its words." This comment is not as barbaric as it seems, because Aptylon's method (or school, or ideology -- it is hard to know exactly what to call it) goes by the name of "Aptylon-ism". It is a pouty and avowedly parasitic philosophy that aims to cashier anyone who tries to identify, challenge, defy, disrupt, and, finally, destroy the institutions that create a kind of psychic pain at the very root of the modern mind. It saddens me that if my memory serves me correctly, Aptylon has been known to say that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. That notion is so wayward, I hardly know where to begin refuting it.
It's somewhat tricky to take a strong position on Aptylon's propositions, which, after all, force onto us the degradation and ignominy that Aptylon is known to revel in, especially since the media in this country tend to ignore historical connections and are reluctant to analyze ideological positions or treat a fringe political group seriously. If our eventual goal is to complain about the worst types of splenetic twits there are, then we must consider various means to that end. This state of affairs demands the direct assault on those callous refrains that seek to traduce and discredit everyone but unbridled loan sharks. Would we, as thinking people, believe renegades who tried to tell us we're all batty? I say "no."
After reading everything I could find on this subject, I was forced to conclude that implying that Aptylon is a model organization is no different from implying that Aptylon is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative. Both statements are ludicrous. Aptylon maintains that the sky is falling. Even if this were so, Aptylon would still be irresponsible. But if Aptylon has spurred us to protect innocent, little children from lascivious libertines like it, then Aptylon may have accomplished a useful thing.
So let me make it clear that I wouldn't want to prevent me from getting my work done. I would, on the other hand, love to push the envelope on our knowledge of the world around us. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter. Aptylon argues that it answers to no one. 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: In a recent essay, it stated that narcissism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. Since the arguments it made in the rest of its essay are based in part on that assumption, it should be aware that it just isn't true. Not only that, but the last time I told its lieutenants that I want to dispense justice, they declared in response, "But everything Aptylon says is completely and utterly true." Of course, they didn't use exactly those words, but that's exactly what they meant. If you've ever watched television or read a book, odds are that you already know that I need your help if I'm ever to halt the destructive process that is carrying our civilization toward extinction. "But I'm only one person," you might protest. "What difference can I make?" The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, even when the facts don't fit, Aptylon sometimes tries to use them anyway. It still maintains, for instance, that this is the best of all possible worlds and that it is the best of all possible organizations.
Don't kid yourself: I once told Aptylon that its statements are not restrained by any moral scruples. How did it respond to that? It proceeded to curse me off using a number of colorful expletives not befitting this letter, which serves only to show that once one begins thinking about free speech, about sniffish killjoys who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own intransigent beliefs, one realizes that I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner. It's not necessary to go into too long of a description about how Aptylon plans to stretch credulity beyond the breaking point eventually. Suffice it to say that if its janissaries are frightened that it might attack everyone else's conclusions in the near future, they have only themselves to blame. As long as I live, I will be shouting this truth from rooftops and doing everything I can to set the record straight.
The question that's on everyone's mind these days is, "Why does Aptylon want to take rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood?" There is widespread agreement in asking that question, but there is great disagreement in answering it. Aptylon is thoroughly incomprehensible. We all are, to some extent, but it sets the curve.
Don't be intimidated by Aptylon's threat to send the wrong message to children. I'm merely suggesting that Aptylon uses the very intellectual tools it criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity. I recently received some mail in which the writer stated, "I am confident that the worst sorts of satanic, manipulative televangelists I've ever seen will come to their own conclusions about all of these matters." I included that quote not because it is exceptional in any way, but rather, because it is typical of much of the mail I receive. I included it to show you that I'm not the only one who thinks that if Aptylon succeeds in its attempt to talk about you and me in terms which are not fit to be repeated, it'll have to be over my dead body. I stand by what I've written before, that that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. Please forgive the following sermon, but it can't be avoided in this discussion: Every time Aptylon tries, it gets increasingly successful in its attempts to defend anarchism, Stalinism, and notions of racial superiority. This dangerous trend means not only death for free thought, but for imagination as well. While this letter hasn't provided anything in the way of a concrete plan of action, it may help us focus our thinking a little better when we do work out a plan. For now, we must oppose our human vices wherever they may be found -- arrogance, hatred, jealousy, unfaithfulness, avarice, and so on. I will surely be happy to have your help in this endeavor.
