Dear Friends, The British elite want you to know,They care about you and Jethro,A proud lot,Sniffing snot,Because they really love their blow. If your not socialist you’re fascist they say,A simple duality and a simple minded way,A definitional distraction,With propaganda’s … Continue reading →

Absurdity, Universals, and Despotism

Posted on November 30, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, despots use modifiers to pervert universals to mean their opposites. They see morality as contingent on political ideal, justice contingent on a political favor, and a crime contingent on the criminal. The result is … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Once there lived a man called Voltaire,Deep into philosophy he would stare,He said with a fright,And some insight,Absurdity leads to atrocity so take care. Thune is an unimpressive politician,Threading a needle with intuition,He said herding cats,I’ll empower democrats,Making … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a place called the surveillance state,Order enforced by mic, camera, and gate,Pressure grows vast,Released in a blast,And the despots end up in a cardboard crate. Rent seeking is quite legit,A way to enrich the unfit,Here’s … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Some say it’s wealth that you should flaunt,Others say it’s looks that makes them gaunt,Here’s the gist,It comes down to this,Women just don’t know what they want. Business and politics are wed,That’s how politicians are fed,A revolving door,A … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a senator shrill,She came across as a bitter pill,Ranting away,A donkeys’ bray,With her hand in big pharma’s till. Migrant workers undercut our wages,As the deadly fentanyl crisis rages,The elite don’t care,Aliens on welfare,And H1-b visas … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Our philosopher kings are brilliant and wise,Their genius is apparent in their own eyes,How could we disagree,The unaccountable see,Utopia depends on their manipulations and lies. The stupidity of our elites is astonishing,Though too big to tolerate admonishing,A bomb … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Arguing in generality is using universals,Kung Sung Lung reasoned into reversals,But language is inept,The mind adept,So we’re reduced to convincing by commercials. Criminals in Canada the government’s on your side,Victims mustn’t defend themselves or even run and hide,They’ve … Continue reading →

Dear friends, Look closely and you will see,Some things don’t get scrutiny,Incidents are ample,As in the example,Of the Jan 6th pipe bomber in DC. The elite have egos great,Too sage to leave it to fate,Plotting and conniving,Their foes criticizing,And plowing … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Some folks have a violent bent,Like driving a car into a tent,They fill their cup,But it’ll catch up,And prison awaits that angry gent. The ivory tower’s wrath is well renowned,An echo chamber without a sound,She’s just better,An elite … Continue reading →
