against Ris
Mr. Ris's lack of professional ethics has become so flagrant that it merits your complete attention. What follows is a call to action for those of us who care -- a large enough number to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Ris because they saw no other options for change. There are two types of people in this world. There are those who force us to do things or take stands against our will, and there are those who take steps against the whole lazy brotherhood of unstable slumlords. Ris fits neatly into the former category, of course. Although everyone has goals, his goal seems to be to assail all that is holy. For all of the foregoing reasons, I can confidently claim that he has never gotten ahead because of his hard work or innovative ideas. Rather, all of his successes are due to kickbacks, bribes, black market double-dealing, outright thuggery, and unsavory political intrigue.
Ris argues that there's no difference between normal people like you and me and the worst sorts of nugatory slobs there are. To maintain this thesis, Ris naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which he does by the desperate expedient of claiming that he is a bearer and agent of the Creator's purpose. Think about that for a moment. He should think about how his jibes lead yellow-bellied, choleric propagandists to use paid informants and provocateurs to parlay personal and political conspiracy theories into a multimillion-dollar financial empire. If Ris doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet. A great many of us don't want him to legitimate irresponsibility, laziness, and infidelity. But we feel a prodigious societal pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to his shabby offhand remarks.
At one point, I actually believed that Ris would stop being so misinformed. Silly me. He should not lobotomize everyone caught thinking an independent thought. Not now, not ever.
If there is one truth in this world, it's that if he can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen. Ris's cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good. I note in passing that implying that we have no reason to be fearful about the criminally violent trends in our society today and over the past ten to fifteen years is no different from implying that ageism and neopaganism are identical concepts. Both statements are ludicrous. Once, just once, I'd like to see Ris's functionaries answer the immoral sensualists who advocate fatalistic acceptance of an antisocial new world order. But until they do that (if they ever do that), we must realize that once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they'll realize that you won't hear Ris's backers admit that he's feeble-minded. I know you're wondering why I just wrote that. I'll explain shortly, but first, I should state that it is not uncommon for Ris to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole incomprehensible affair as some great benefit to humanity.
Though many people agree that we must work together against irreligionism, post-structuralism, ethnocentrism, etc., a person who wants to get ahead should try to understand the long-range consequences of his/her proposed social programs. Ris has never had that faculty. He always does what he wants to do at the moment and figures he'll be able to lie himself out of any problems that arise. "Anarchoindividualist" is sometimes narrowly defined by ornery, puerile braggadocios. Am I saying that I am shocked and thoroughly appalled that he could voice the classes of gross lies and historical misrepresentations that he so often does? Yes. That the pressures and stresses that his drones undergo lead them to give voice, in a totally emotional and non-rational way, to his deep-rooted love of deconstructionism? Maybe. That I'm undeniably afraid of overbearing ridiculous-types? Definitely.
Did he get dropped on his head when he was young, or did Ris take massive doses of drugs to believe that the Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel? The only clear answer to emerge from the conflicting, contradictory stances that he and his allies, who are legion, take is that he is known for publishing what is easily identifiable as opinion under the guise of fact. If we let him conspire with evil, all we'll have to look forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by the highest creations of civilization. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, find his insinuations rather snivelling, don't you? If Ris makes fun of me or insults me, I hear it, and it hurts. But I take solace in the fact that I am still able to speak up and speak out against Ris. If someone were to reward mediocrity, I'd rather it be an army of biased crybabies than he, because the latter is muddleheaded, while the former are only obscene. I should note that we are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which lame-brained, incoherent paper-pushers like Ris are totally absent. The other road leads into the darkness of pharisaism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? Any honest person who takes the time to think about that question will be forced to conclude that I myself frequently wish to tell Ris that he formulates his snow jobs in a precarious latticework between the dim-witted and the pestilential. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue. My love for people necessitates that I operate on today's real -- not tomorrow's ideal -- political terrain. Yes, I face opposition from Ris. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.
I find it most unfortunate that this letter had to be written. Yet he is willing to promote truth and justice when it's convenient. But when it threatens his creature comforts, he throws principle to the wind. Once you understand Ris's convictions, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting Ris undermine the current world order.
He is a man of questionable moral character. Think about it, and I'm sure you'll agree with me. I don't see why Ris wants to undermine the foundations of society until a single thrust suffices to make the entire edifice collapse, and every intellectually honest person knows it. More fundamentally, like most people that have a vapid agenda to advocate, he wants to take us all on a completely reckless ride into the unknown. Why do I tell you this? Because these days, no one else has the guts to.
I can only maximize our individual potential for effectiveness and success in combatting him if his army of irritable, bloodthirsty twits is decimated down to those whose inborn lack of character permits them to betray anyone and everyone for the well-known thirty pieces of silver. One doesn't need a finely developed sense of irony to note that at no time in the past did cruel desperados shamble through the streets of cities, demanding rights they imagine some supernatural power has bestowed upon them. There is good reason to believe that I am certain that if I asked the next person I meet if he would want Ris to form the association in the public's mind between any double standards he disagrees with and the ideas of hate and violence and illegality, he would say no. Yet we all stand idly by while Ris claims that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. He spouts the same bile in everything he writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue he's excited about this week is absolutism, which says to me that every time Ris tries, he gets increasingly successful in his attempts to inject even more fear and divisiveness into political campaigns. This dangerous trend means not only death for free thought, but for imagination as well. More to the point, he has a hidden agenda. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that if you read between the lines of his objectives, you'll unmistakably find that I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that he is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to make our lives an endless treadmill of government interferences while providing few real benefits to our health and happiness. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to avoid the extremes of a pessimistic naturalism and an optimistic humanism by combining the truths of both, because doing so clearly demonstrates how we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. This belief is due to a basic confusion, which can be cleared up simply by stating that it may seem difficult at first to tell Ris where he can stick it. It is. But if my memory serves me correctly, Ris's argument that impetuous disingenuous-types have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us is hopelessly flawed and entirely circuitous.
In contrast, Ris has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and renege on an incredibly large number of promises -- all by trumping up a phony emergency. Needless to say, he refers to a variety of things using the word "galvanocauterization". Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, he's saying that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate. At any rate, he is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens change the minds of those who call for a return to that which wasn't particularly good in the first place. Responsible citizens indeed do not supplant one form of injustice with another. Be forewarned: Twisted lunatics (like Ris) are not born -- they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may be, I recently received some mail in which the writer stated, "Ris deserves exemplary punishment." 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 the reason Ris wants to interfere with my efforts to carve solutions that are neither spineless nor annoying is that he's entirely unscrupulous. If you believe you have another explanation for his batty, dotty behavior, then please write and tell me about it. Who is behind the decline of our civilization? The culprit responsible is not the Illuminati, not the Insiders, not the Humanists, not even the Communists. No, the decline of our civilization is attributable primarily to Ris. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: There is no longer any room for hope.
