Some background is in order: Gogar has been teaching young children to parrot such quasi-tyrannical sentences as, "The rigors that Gogar's victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement." This assault on the innocence of childhood should be rejected in the harshest terms possible. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that to someone whose eyes are open, Gogar's constantly repeated mantra that anyone who disagrees with it is a potential terrorist is an insanely mentally deficient notion. By way of contrast, consider my personal mantra that Gogar is putting a huge amount of effort into squashing its self-doubt and hiding its flaws. The more effort it puts into that, the worse things are when these suppressed traits finally bust out. When that happens—and it will unmistakably happen—you should be sure to remember that if Gogar continues to make our lives an endless treadmill of government interferences while providing few real benefits to our health and happiness, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets.
Gogar asserts that everyone who scrambles aboard the Gogar bandwagon is guaranteed a smooth ride. That assertion is not only untrue but a conscious lie. Wherever you look, you'll see Gogar enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see it suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see it crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity. Okay, I admit that Gogar is being a pusillanimous tightwad just for the sake of being a pusillanimous tightwad. But I don't care what others say about Gogar. It's still overbearing, brain-damaged, and it intends to marginalize me based on my gender, race, or religion.
Gogar says that character development is not a matter of "strength through adversity" but rather, "entitlement through victimization". You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. Whether you call it "jujuism", "immoralism", or "emotionalism", it is alive and well in Gogar's denunciations. It's what convinced me that one of Gogar's favorite tricks is to create a problem, then offer the solution. Naturally, it's always its solutions that grant it the freedom to engage in an endless round of finger pointing, never the original problem. Because Gogar is so caught up in trying to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that it purportedly aims to save, I'd like to conclude this letter by quoting to it the last line of R. M. Rilke's poem, "Archaic Torso of Apollo": "You must change your life."
