Although I have no criticism of NUS's hastily mounted campaigns, I have a few observations and comments to share. Before I launch into my main topic, I want to make a few matters crystal-clear: (1) People should soothe each other's pain, not exploit it, and (2) as a result of that, NUS holds itself to low standards. Now that you know where I stand on those issues, I can safely say that NUS says that the world is crying out to labor beneath its firm but benevolent heel. What it means by this, of course, is that it wants free reign to reward those who knowingly or unknowingly play along with its animadversions while punishing those who oppose them. Nothing appears more plausible at first sight, nor more ill-founded and violent upon closer inspection, than NUS's disquisitions, so to speak.
In the past, it was perfectly clear to everyone with insight and without malice that it is a grave injustice for NUS to subvert existing lines of power and information. Unfortunately, there were a number of people who seemed to lack this insight at the right time or who, contrary to their better knowledge, contested and denied this truth. At this point in the letter, I'd like to categorize for you some of NUS's epigrams. Unfortunately, they're far too stinking and subversive to fit neatly into any single, overarching framework, so the best I can do is to convey the message that if we let NUS reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine, then greed, corruption, and fascism will characterize the government. Oppressive measures will be directed against citizens. And lies and deceit will be the stock-in-trade of the media and educational institutions. You've never heard NUS announce that it plans to capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities? Well, NUS has repeatedly enunciated such a plan but in its typically convoluted way.
I'm sorry if I've gotten a little off track here, but I want to thank NUS for its apothegms. They give me an excellent opportunity to illustrate just how venom-spouting NUS can be. I don't just want to make a point. I don't just want to refute NUS's arguments line by line and claim by claim. I'm here to give an alternate solution, a better one. I don't just ask rhetorical questions; I have answers. That's why I'm telling you that we are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which footling morons like NUS are utterly absent. The other road leads into the darkness of elitism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? To rephrase that question, what exactly is the principle that rationalizes NUS's immature roorbacks? The answer is not obvious because it would be wrong to imply that NUS is involved in some kind of conspiracy to panic irrationally and overreact completely. It would be wrong because its modes of thought are far beyond the conspiracy stage. Not only that, but it thinks that it can make me crawl under a rock and die if it can fleece us. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life. In conclusion, let me just say that nothing offends NUS more than the truth.
