Another of Tirik's Tirades

- - My complaint with MOJO D

By Tirik Obobber

I am writing on behalf of myself and a few of my friends to state that Mojo D's philippics are the direct result of a policy of abandonment and neglect.

Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Mojo's particularly self-indulgent form of snobbism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of insecure politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

Admittedly, I feel that there is more wisdom to be found in three of Aesop's fables than in the sum total of everything that Mojo has ever written. But that's because some of my acquaintances express the view that Mojo's tirades do not pass muster by any objective standards. Others express the view that Mojo loves everybody so much, he wants to rip out the guts of everybody who doesn't love everybody as much as he does. I am prepared to offer a cheer and a half for each view; together, they paint a sufficiently complete picture of Mojo to warrant a full three cheers.

In a nutshell, Mojo D wouldn't be able to lead an active disinformation campaign if he were working on a level playing field.

Happy Thanksgiving!
