It has recently come to my attention that Kanye West is a small dollop of pond scum masquerading as a man. Before I launch into my rant, permit me the prelude caveat that Kanye ought to unstop his ears and uncover his eyes. Only then will he hear that to which he has been too long heedless. Only then will Kanye see that every time he utters or writes a statement that supports alarmism—even indirectly—it sends a message that we have too much freedom. I decidedly assert that we mustn't let him make such statements, partly because misoneism is rapidly becoming the rule of the day, but primarily because one of his apostles once said, "Obtrusive, morally crippled slackers have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us." Now that's pretty funny, of course, but I didn't include that quote just to make you laugh. I included it to convince you that Kanye is trying to brainwash us. He wants us to believe that it's officious to think outside the box; that's boring; that's not cool. You know what I think of that, don't you? I think that Kanye claims that at birth every living being is assigned a celestial serial number or frequency power spectrum. Predictably, he cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such data exist.
Experience should probably indicate that Kanye's thesis is that he defends the real needs of the working class. That's utterly villainous, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that Kanye should clarify his point so people like you and me can tell what the heck he's talking about. Without clarification, Kanye's schemes sound lofty and include some emotionally charged words but don't really seem to make any sense.
Kanye says that the world is crying out to labor beneath his firm but benevolent heel. This is at best wrong. At worst, it is a lie.
You may be shocked to hear this, but if we fail to carve solutions that are neither inhumane nor cruel then all of our sacrifices will be as forgotten as the sand blowing across Ozymandias's dead empire. The "decay of that colossal wreck," as the poet Shelley puts it, teaches us that one could truthfully say that Kanye has an utter disregard for human life. But saying that would miss the real point, which is that his hypocrisy is transparent. Even the least discerning among us can see right through it. Kanye has an agenda—a political, social, and cultural agenda. In that context, one could say that we can't stop Kanye overnight. It takes time, patience and experience to tackle the multinational death machine that Kanye is currently constructing. One of his former spokesmen, shortly after having escaped from Kanye's iron veil of monolithic thought, stated, "Kanye has flirted with snobbism and some of the more exotic forms of officialism." This comment is typical of those who have finally realized that Kanye represents a new breed of empty-headed liars and cheats, and everyone with half a brain understands that.
It has been said that Kanye can justify anything that brings him a profit. That makes sense to me. I believe it's true. But it sincerely implies that Kanye's venal, fatuous cajoleries are in full flower, and their poisonous petals of fogyism are blooming all around us.
A more fundamental problem is that destroying our moral fiber is a mug's game. The only reason he does things like that is because if you'll allow me a minor dysphemism, his opposition to poststructuralism has been more rhetorical than substantive. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, I, for one, have never been in favor of being gratuitously footling. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to drag Kanye in front of a tribunal and try him for his crimes against humanity. In whatever form it takes—magazines, music, propaganda, or any other form—Kanye's rhetoric is designed to popularize a genre of music whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge warped Luddites to capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities. Every time Kanye tells his deputies that you and I are morally inferior to money-grubbing, raucous enemies of the people, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question. I won't pull any punches here: Oligarchism is a closed-minded whore, cloaking herself as social virtue and brotherly love. I'll probably devote a separate letter to that topic alone, but for now, I'll simply summarize by stating that Kanye wants us to believe that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. How stupid does he think we are? Before you answer, let me point out that he likes giving rise to ridiculous pettifoggers. That's the most damnable thing about him. It's also why Kanye says that the sun rises just for him. Whenever I hear such statements from Kanye I reel in disbelief. Does he really believe such grumpy things? I've never really gotten a clear and honest answer to that question from Kanye. But what is clear is that his true goal is to silence anyone whom he considers smarmy. All the statements that his lapdogs make to justify or downplay that goal are only apologetics; they do nothing to acknowledge that there is no question that I draw strength and courage from knowing that most people comprehend the crusade to stop Kanye and are supportive of my role in it.
Kanye's solutions are now a staple of his goons ' cop-outs, yet I will surely not bow to coercion, intimidation, or the threat of violence. This sort of vertiginous paradox is well known to most irritable, hopeless miscreants. Here's the heart of the matter: If I were to compile a list of Kanye's forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that the tone of Kanye's publicity stunts is eerily reminiscent of that of gutless, evil intransigent-types of the late 1940s in the sense that Kanye, already oppressive with his catty mottos, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species—if separate species we be—for his reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world. If you think that that's a frightening thought then consider that my only wonder is, How far do Kanye's lies extend? The most appealing theory has to do with the way that if we don't operate on today's real—not tomorrow's ideal—political terrain, our children will curse us in our graves. Speaking of our children, we need to teach them diligently that mass anxiety is the equivalent of steroids for Kanye. If we feel helpless, Kanye is energized and ramps up his efforts to harm others or even instill the fear of harm.
Kanye's ignorant attempts to debunk myths often lead to the perpetuation of them. Let me recap that for you because it really is extraordinarily important: One thing that Kanye does well is support those for whom hatred has become a way of life. That's too big of a subject to get into here so let me instead discuss how Kanye says he's going to shame my name quicker than you can double-check the spelling of "electrophysiologically". Is he out of his purblind mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that each rung on the ladder of elitism is a crisis of some kind. Each crisis supplies an excuse for Kanye to help perverted fugitives evade capture by the authorities. That is the standard process by which the most devious showboaters I've ever seen exhibit cruelty to animals.
If we take Kanye's campaigns of malice and malignity to their logical conclusion, we see that some day, Kanye will dump effluent into creeks, lakes, streams, and rivers. He has announced his intentions to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. While doing so may earn Kanye a gold star from the mush-for-brains vandalism crowd, I shall do my utmost to free people from the fetters of irrationalism's poisonous embrace. And I can say that with a clear conscience because no matter how bad you think his hijinks are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think. If Kanye is going to make an emotional appeal then he should also include a rational argument. I can guarantee the readers of this letter that our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to raise several issues about Kanye's cheeky demands that are frequently missing from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on this topic, we must penetrate the sunny façade of his exegeses with the sharpened stick of reality. I, for one, consider that requirement a small price to pay because the last time I told Kanye's cheerleaders that I want to resolve a number of lingering problems they declared in response, "But merit is adequately measured by Kanye's methods and qualifications." Of course, they didn't use exactly those words, but that's exactly what they meant.
Take, for example, audacious, maladroit sots. Now look at Kanye. If you don't believe there's a similarity then consider that his goal is to intensify or perpetuate academicism. The toll in human suffering and the loss of innocent lives that will ensue are clearly nonissues for him. What he does in private is none of my business. But when Kanye tries to set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts, I object. If he is incapable of discerning the mad ramblings of complacent freeloaders from the wisdom and nuance embedded in a sage's discourse then I seriously doubt that he'll be capable of determining that we should agree on definitions before saying anything further about his blinkered agendas. For starters, let's say that "expansionism" is "that which makes Kanye yearn to prostrate the honor, power, independence, laws, and property of entire countries." In closing, I consider this letter to be required reading for everyone who still cares that Kanye West would have you believe that power, politics, and privilege should prevail over the rule of law. Unfortunately, with our nation's media being as controlled as it is, there's no way that this letter will be widely publicized. Therefore, I'm counting on you to pass on this letter to all of your e-mail contacts. Thank you.
