On Being
Your Friend
Dear
Susan,
In order to be your friend you require me to hate.
I reject that requirement. We just won't be friends. Friendships
based upon pre-conditions never last anyway, so why should we start
something that we know to be doomed to failure?
Secondly, you
are not honest about your requirement to hate. You are not honest
with me nor with yourself. You do not openly say "you must hate so and
so in order for us to be friends." Rather, you just sneakily snub me
if I do not hate to your specifications. I think your specifications
STINK, also. You did not come up with them based on your own
research and endeavor, but got them from your television god.
Your god instructed you to hate, so you hate mindlessly, effortlessly,
just as you are told. I am not good at doing things mindlessly,
so there is no need for me to try doing so just to be your
friend.
Susan, you want me to hate the people on your television
and "People Magazine" hate list. If you had ever read a book, a
pamphlet, an essay, hell, just one sentence BY the people on your
television hate list and then decided you did not like what they said
or stood for, that would be one thing, but you have read nothing: no
study, no scholarly attempt to seek out the truth, no mental pondering
of the facts or labouring over historical circumstance that may have
led men to make the decisions they made; you just assumed the position
(sat on your butt) before your god and accepted HIS teachings without
any effort or independent thought by yourself. To call
you an intellectual failure would be a gross misuse of the word
intellectual, and abuse of the word failure, for to fail one must first
endeavor to accomplish.
Thirdly, you are unfair in your
requirements for me to hate. I know of some of the dead men you
want me to hate, but not all of them, as my studies in world history,
are not yet complete. You will be my friend or enemy
based on the people you think I should hate who lived in the last
century (that would be the 20th century, Susan). It is only
logical on my part to ask you what people do you require me to hate who
lived in the 19th century? And for that mater the 18th and 17th
centuries? Who are the great figures of history who are on your
mandatory hate list from those periods? Or is your time frame for
mandatory hate so limited in its perspective that it is only for the
20th century? It is logical, is it not Susan, that I ask how
many centuries back I must hate in order to be your
friend?
Fourthly, you are very anti-European in your hate
criteria. You only want me to hate dead Europeans. There
are no Asians on your list. Nor are there any Africans. In
my humble opinion it seems to me that your hate list of dead people is
very racist and anti-European. Is there some reason
for this? Or is it just that your television god is
anti-European? Whichever the case, I find it offensive that you
only hate dead, Western Europeans. Has it never occurred to you that
Joseph Stalin killed over five times as many people as Hitler is said
to have killed? Why do you not require that I, also, hate
him? Besides, Mao Zee Dung , an Asian, killed so many
Chinese peasants that he makes the deaths attributed to Hitler look
small and quite insignificant in comparison. Does the number 100
million dead Chinese mean anything at all to you? It certainly
does to me. If that much suffering, pain and misery means nothing
to you, then we could never be real friends anyway, as it means a lot
to me, Susan. Maybe,
Chinamen just don't count to you?
Fifthly, were their no women
in history worthy of your hatred? Why do you only hate dead,
European, white men? I can think of at least two or
three women in recent history that could be hated for their cruelty and
heartless behaviour, yet you do not require any hatred of women
whatsoever. Do you not find this strange? As a male, I must
point out to you that any friendship you and I were to establish based
upon mutually assured hatred of dead, European, white males could only
be a flirting one at best. I am not into self-hatred or
denigration, and it just seems to me that you require a lot of that to
be your friend.
Sixthly, most of your television god's requirements
to hate is based upon group objectives--Hate Group objectives, I must
add. And I don't belong to any groups. Well, just
one, the Disabled American Veterans, but that is because I was killing
other people your government hates--or at least, did hate--and got hurt
while doing it. Nowadays, after thinking things through, and much
reflection upon life in general, I am a proponent of and
sincere advocate of what is called Leaderless Resistance. I have
thus avoided successfully, membership in any group since 1981 and just
can not bring myself to join your hate group, society, association or
whatever you call an outfit that hates dead, European males
exclusively.
To be your friend you want me to join the largest hate
group in the world, the one that hates dead Germans. But these
people, you insist I hate to be your friend, died before I was
born. I don't really see any good coming from hating dead
people. And really Susan, much of what you think about them is
hate group propaganda and not true at all. Which, of course, you could
easily find out for yourself, with just a little time in the
public library less than ten miles from your home. And even if
the tenets of your hate beliefs were true, I don't want to belong to
your Hate Hitler Hate Groupie (HHHG). I am basically an
individualist and there are too many people in your group
already. And quite honestly, lots of them are very
ignorant people who are just television watchers who never read a
decent history book in their life.
I like educated people.
People who form their own opinions based upon years of personal
research. That's what I did, and I would want to be around others
who did the same. Are you friends with anyone like that? Well
you would be if you and I were friends. I have spent thirty (30)
years reading history books, many of them rare, suppressed, and even
outlawed in such backward countries as Canada, Germany and Red
China. My thoughts are my own--I do not even own a
television. So, why should I give up my mental independence and
free thinking ways to join your HHHG?
One thought that occurs to me
Susan is to ask if you have ever considered hating live
people? People like say Henry Kissinger who surrendered Viet Nam
to the Communists after 57,000 American young men died trying to
keep those people free? He wrote off the POW's and MIA's of both
Korea and Vietnam as "not a significant concern." Now I
could really get into hating him! Yea, that dirty, no-good,
Eastern European SOB deserves to be hated by all Americans! Are
you affiliated with any Hate Kissenger hate groups (HKHG)? Were I ever
to get into group hatred, that would be the one for me! And
the benefit to you of such a group would be considerable, also. You
could expand your hate horizons to Eastern Europeans of Asiatic
extraction (Kissinger is a foreign-born, Eastern European Jew of
Turko-Mongolian descent. Which helps to explain why he found it
so easy to advocate abandoning U.S. soldiers to the tender mercies of
other Asiatics.)
Finally,
I must ask you, Susan, what are your thoughts on Sargon the Great,
or Charles Martel, the "Hammer of the Franks," and, of course, Saladin
the Great, leader of the Mohammedans? Now, I am no Arab
or anything, but he was a great leader of his people and I recognize
that. Does your hate list include Saladin? For, as you should
very well know, he killed tens of thousands of Christians in the
struggle over the Holy Land; he took Jerusalem in the Third Crusade and
his soldiers defiled Holy shrines there. Does your television god
require you to hate anyone who killed tens of thousands of Christians
and defiled shrines of our faith? Just wondering.
Well,
considering everything, I feel that as long as you harbor this
great hatred in your heart I just don't think we can ever really be
friends. I want you to know that I am sorry for that,
Susan. For other than this doctrinaire obsession you seem to
have with hating dead, European, White men, you seem like such a nice
person, as well as someone whom it would be a pleasure to
know.
Sincerely (your would-be
friend)

P.S. Have you ever thought about giving up
Television and taking up historical research for a past
time?
