The Hanon People's Daily published another communique from the planet Neptune. The words "White Supremacism" were repeated so often, you had to wonder if they were magical incantations. Alas, they weren't. But the writer did manage to slag Steven Miller as that, a Nazi, and a fascist, to boot. Given the column appeared with a 30 year old photo, these columns could become a regular feature.
“Neptune to
Green Acres, Neptune to Green Acres, come in, Green Acres. Over.”
Thus began
the latest transmission from the planet Neptune to the Hanon People’s Daily,
a once-great metropolitan newspaper that has fallen on hard times.
Its correspondent, a retired professor of Neptune-studies, is communicating the
latest horror story from deep in outer space.
The
correspondent seems to think that repetition of the expression “white
supremacist” is going to convince those on earth of the truth of his
assertions. As Josef Goebbels once observed, a monstrous lie stuns the
listener and if the lie is repeated often enough it becomes the equivalent of
the truth. Nevertheless, the perceptive do observe the ugliness of anti-Semitism
in the communique in the comparison of a Jew to Nazis and fascists.
Another
profound contradiction, so obvious it may escape attention, is that the
correspondent who find white supremacism so wrong is himself a white
elitist. If the correspondent believed what he said, he would surrender
his place to a woman of colour, but he doesn’t.
The
correspondent is exempt from the ramifications of his own ideology.
Moreover,
anybody familiar with the people he is speaking ill of knows the falsity of the
accusations leveled by the special white guy. Perhaps he thinks he raises
the morale of the losers who believe him by slandering the people more
successful than they..
