A Proposal to Be Immodest

Now, see, this is a good idea.

Recently, I had chance to speak at length with my good friend and technology guru, Jeremy Wade (Jeremy says hi, by the way, Dal,) and we both agreed that what with the majority of American citizens now either poised to rape our constitution gangbang style or sit with their thumbs up their asses while this happens, it’s time for the rest of us to start applying these intellects which November 2nd so strongly inferred that we had and come up with some way to stop our sudden, extreme backslide as a society.

The simple truth is that the laws of our land, and the means by which they are upheld, are barely understood by most of the citizenry these days. When you live in a society where the fundamental values of that society are no longer applied or protected then what inevitably results is social conflict, erupting between those who would abuse or ignore the premise of society, and the growing minority who both understand and support that premise. History has played out our current scenario countless times; those in power abandon the trappings of cooperative society and instead demand unity based either on blind patriotism and loyalty to the current ruling body, or out of fear of reprisal, and a better definition of tyranny I don’t think exists.

It is left, then, for the populace to determine how to react. Many, history shows, will capitulate, out of fear, out of laziness, out of stupidity. Some will protest, but only within the legal structure which, as history and current precedent both show, will continue to diminish in its scope, effectiveness and protection from reprisal. Note today, where, as examples, you are suddenly not allowed to enjoy the protected freedom of assembly and speech laws assured us, but are instead subject to relocation, harassment, infiltration and even arrest for breaking no law, should you express overt support for the actual laws of the land, or the spirit behind them.

Others take the extreme route of violent dissent, see exhibit A, Oklahoma City. The problems with this method are equally obvious. Many such rebellious natures are a few bricks short of a load to begin with (see exhibit A,) and can’t be trusted to assess targets intelligently or productively. Secondly, such behavior frightens the already prone-to-panic citizenry, causing many fence straddlers to fall firmly behind their actual oppressors, then giving those in power even more authority to reduce freedoms without new social reprisal.

Thoreau, as you might recall, helped make popular the third method, civil disobedience, by which we simply ignore those laws and regulations which have been created without the best interests of society in mind. It can even be taken to the next level, active subversion, as we see above. Thoreau knew that civil disobedience could draw negative attention down on unjust sanction, but what he never really saw fit to point out is that it can be fun, too.

The trouble with civil disobedience is that it has to be overt. If you are, say, smoking a fattie in your apartment, that’s not actually civil disobedience. It’s just breaking the law. On the other hand, if you walk into the office of your local constabulary and cut a few lines, well, assuming you’re not just amazingly stupid, then you have succeeded in committing an act of civil disobedience.

Likewise, if you live in a state whose outdated and ridiculous sodomy or obscenity laws haven’t yet been overturned, it’s simply not enough to browse internet porn or have oral sex with your wife. You have to let it be understood that any natural orifice large enough to accommodate can be used for sex legitimately. You have to make it clear to your local lawmakers AND the citizens they represent that you will marry who you want, when you want, where you want. You have to school society in the art of smut, making it clear that there is a simple concept of freedom being upheld, and attempts to subvert that will simply not be tolerated. You can’t have a ‘free’ society where freedoms are pointlessly infringed. That equals no society at all, hence the basis for civil disobedience.

But you don’t want to suffer the repercussions of blatantly thumbing your nose at our over reactive and violent authorities. I can understand that. We’ve all seen those lousy hippies being truncheoned in the streets. We heard what happened at Kent State. Hell, my own roommate got tear gassed simply for walking idly down the wrong street in Seattle. The current face of government has a long, heavy arm that waves about in an almost seizure-like manner when agitated, and a lot of us, well, we’re selfish cowards. But there is a better way!

The enemy, the tyranny, is remarkably unsavvy regards our modern technology. As with their social notions, they seem to move back a step every time technology moves forward three. Clinton himself was far from hep when it came to even simple things like E-mail. And that’s where to strike, as we can see was done in Italy.

Think of it as aversion therapy, like you might perform on some phobic or another. If you have a girlfriend who is frightened of, say, daddy-long-legs, the quickest route to curing her mental ailment is simply to cover her with the things. Initially, there will be a negative reaction, but after a few minutes, her mind is forced to accept the now glaringly apparent: that these gentle arthropods present no danger whatsoever, and are in fact sort of cute. Likewise, the socially stalled brains of our leaders and ‘red’ majority might also be jogged into reality through exposure. Preacher X might react with initial shock and disgust to the dildo orgies that keep showing up on his cable television, but after the tenth time he hasn’t suddenly been contacted by Satan or gone blind, even such a degenerate mind is going to start realizing that the body hasn’t been ‘bitten’ yet, as it were. There is no danger, personally or socially. And from there, healing can begin.

Anyone, people, any degenerate mind capable of even basic literacy and logical structure can learn to be a hacker within a year of serious application. Beyond that, they aren’t hard to find, and most of them are fairly liberal, or simply disinclined to bow to authority. Find them, hire them, urge them forth. The red states want less sex? I say we give them more. Make them dream of the days when we offered them a ‘we’ll keep it private’ deal. Make them sorry they didn’t accept a ‘if its not your business, its not your business’ compromise. Hell, maybe even force a few of them to understand that it’s just fucking sex. It doesn’t hurt. (Much, after the first time, I mean. Unless you really want it to.)

Friends, lets get seriously up in arms about this. Red America has been BAD. It’s time to rub their noses in it.
