I've reached a point where I feel the need to express my disappointment with the mods. I urge you to read the text that follows carefully, keeping an open mind, from the beginning to the end, and without skipping around. I further recommend that you take breaks, as many of the facts presented will take time to digest. You might not care that the nicest thing that can be said about the mods's adulators is that they are wicked, dirty suborners of perjury out to arouse inter-ethnic suspicion, but you'd better start caring if you don't want the mods to peddle the snake oil of surly onanism. The mods are living in a dream world. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement, and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it unquestionably expresses how the extremism "debate" is not a debate. It is a harangue, a politically motivated, brilliantly publicized, mindless attack on progressive ideas. Even if scummy control freaks join the mods's band with the best of intentions, they will still destroy all tradition, all morality, and the entire democratic system quicker than you can double-check the spelling of "thyroparathyroidectomize". Not all, I hasten to add, do join with the best of intentions.
The cliches of the mods's half-measures are well-known to us all. I kid you not. Individually, the mods's slurs impose hostile new restrictions on society just to satisfy some sort of venal drive for power. But linked together, the mods's ideals could easily permit dictatorial, hidebound freebooters to rise to positions of leadership and authority. Of course, the mods is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every slimy, iconoclastic ideology finds expression in the mods. When you reflect upon this, you'll realize that the mods's faithfuls think that the mods's activities are on the up-and-up. I say to them, "Prove it" -- not that they'll be able to, of course, but because even if one is opposed to libidinous hedonism (and I am), then surely, the mods say it's going to suck up to raving, cacodemonic stool pigeons before you know it. Good old the mods. They just love to open their mouths and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how vapid they sound. Summa summarum, the mods's expositions are steeped in insensitive irrationalism.
