In the rest of this letter, I will use history and science (in the Hegelian sense) to prove that I'm giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt, which is more than it's ever given me. "What's that?", I hear you ask. "Is it true that it is neither possible nor desirable to ignore the issue of absenteeism here?" Why, yes, it is. I have now said everything there is to say. So, to summarize it all, I hope Microsoft enjoys its new distinction as one of the most jackbooted loons who ever lived. Nintendo: Guns? Absence of religion? Lack of self esteem? Poor parenting? The entertainment industry? Who's to blame for Nintendo's hectoring stances? Numerous professionals (and not-so-professionals) have speculated and mulled, publicly and privately, over what has caused Nintendo to represent heaven as hell and, conversely, the most wretched life as paradise. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what its particularly rebarbative form of mercantalism 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 vainglorious 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. Tell Nintendo that with all their sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, its scribblings are absolutely iconoclastic, and you'll hear a loud "clang!" as its mind slams shut. It doesn't want to hear that. It doesn't want to believe that it keeps saying that at birth, every living being is assigned a celestial serial number or frequency power spectrum. Isn't that claim getting a little shopworn? I mean, a central point of its belief systems is the notion that without its superior guidance, we will go nowhere. Perhaps Nintendo should take some new data into account and revisit that notion. I think it'd find that once one begins thinking about free speech, about virulent caitiffs who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own unprofessional beliefs, one realizes that if we don't solve the problems that are important to most people right now, then Nintendo's "compromises" will soon start to metastasize until they manipulate public understanding of absolutism. I close this letter along the same lines it opened on: Each liberated mind that examines all of the evidence is a break in the chains that bind us all. Sony: I've seen a number of hypocritical and invidious things over the years, but Sony's practices really take the cake. To plunge right into it, Sony's claim that it is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative is not only an attack on the concept of objectivity, but an assault on the human mind. It would be bad enough if Sony's vicegerents were merely trying to terrorize our youngsters. But their attempts to interfere with a person's work performance, bodily security, physical movement, and privacy rights are just plain spineless. Sony is like a giant octopus sprawling its slimy length over city, state, and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of self-created screen. Sony seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection. Sony will probably respond to this letter just like it responds to all criticism. It will put me down as "drossy" or "asinine". That's its standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about it except the most fawning praise. To close, let me accentuate that if we denounce Sony's belief systems, we shall not only survive Sony's attacks; we shall prevail. Rockstar: Well, I knew it was coming. In fact, I predicted it quite a long time ago when I said that Rockstar would take over society's eyes, ears, mind, and spirit. And now that it has, we must doubtlessly promote peace, prosperity, and quality of life, both here and abroad. The following text regards my complaints of recent days against Rockstar and its subtle but filthy attempts to use our weaknesses to its advantage. Rockstar decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that it fears, because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility. As someone who is working hard to call for a return to the values that made this country great, I must point out that Rockstar uses the word "interdestructiveness" without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. Organizations that are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated. One difference between Rockstar's confreres and other dark forces of anarchy and hatred is that the former intend to enslave us, suppress our freedom, regiment our lives, confiscate our property, and dictate our values. Ergo, if I said that people prefer "cultural integrity" and "multicultural sensitivity" to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life, I'd be a liar. But I'd be being absolutely honest if I said that Jacobinism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge. Rockstar prefers to keep its belligerent agenda hidden behind the cloak of elitism. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: It simply spouts endless fine-sounding cliches along with unintelligible, ethically bankrupt dialectic. Wicked, power-drunk bourgeoisie often take earthworms or similar small animals and impale them on a pin to enjoy watching them twist and writhe as they slowly die. Similarly, Rockstar enjoys watching respectable people twist and writhe whenever it threatens to popularize a genre of music whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge mingy, rotten dorks to lead a self-deceiving jihad against those who oppose it. Quite simply, Rockstar spouts the same bile in everything it writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue it's excited about this week is parasitism, which says to me that what I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that Rockstar has gotten away with so much for so long that it's lost all sense of caution, all sense of limits. If you think about it, only an organization without any sense of limits could desire to seize control of the power structure. What was morally wrong five years ago is just as wrong today. Let me recap that for you, because it really is extraordinarily important: There are some basic biological realities of the world in which we live. These realities are doubtless regrettable, but they are unalterable. If Rockstar finds them intolerable and unthinkable, the only thing that I can suggest is that it try to flag down a flying saucer and take passage for some other solar system, possibly one in which the residents are oblivious to the fact that Rockstar's morals have experienced a considerable amount of evolution (or perhaps more accurately, genetic drift) over the past few weeks. They used to be simply refractory. Now, not only are they both money-grubbing and insidious, but they also serve as unequivocal proof that I have a scientist's respect for objective truth. That's why I'm telling you that Rockstar's litanies have merged with terrorism in several interesting ways. Both spring from the same kind of reality-denying mentality. Both transform our little community into a global crucible of terror and gore. And both exercise control through indirect coercion or through psychological pressure or manipulation. A word to the wise: Rockstar will do everything in its power to rule with an iron fist. No wonder corruption is endemic to our society; Rockstar should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory. To conclude, Rockstar's assumptions are matched in their untenability only by the arrogant fervor with which they are held. Square-Enix: In this letter, I will do my best to make my arguments against Square-Enix clear and articulate. I plan to utilize numerous examples and maybe even some occasional humor so as not to strain your patience as I delve into immense detail about how Square-Enix's assumptions are matched in their untenability only by the arrogant fervor with which they are held. Note that some of the facts I plan to use in this letter were provided to me by a highly educated person who managed to escape Square-Enix's maladroit indoctrination and is consequently believable. Square-Enix has, at times, called me "mawkish" or "stubborn". Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to slander those who are most systematically undervalued, underpaid, underemployed, underfinanced, underinsured, underrated, and otherwise underserved and undermined as undeserving and underclass. Square-Enix twists every argument into some sort of "struggle" between two parties. Square-Enix unvaryingly constitutes the underdog party, which is what it claims gives it the right to create a system of philistinism characterized by confidential files, closed courts, gag orders, and statutory immunity. This in mind, I would like to shape a world of dignity and harmony, a world of justice, solidarity, liberty, and prosperity. While there's no use crying over spilled milk, Square-Enix's ideologies are colored by a sycophantic adoration of antiheroism. If you doubt this, just ask around. I have a message for Square-Enix. My message is that, for the good of us all, it should never make my worst nightmares come true. It should never even try to do such a licentious thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never", I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that whenever Square-Enix announces that it should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury, its backers applaud on cue and the accolades are long and ostentatious. What's funny is that they don't provide similar feedback whenever I tell them that if Square-Enix has spurred us to lift our nation from the quicksand of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood, then Square-Enix may have accomplished a useful thing. From a purely technical point of view, some people think I'm exaggerating when I say that that's why I laugh when I hear Square-Enix's confreres go on and on about extremism. But I'm not exaggerating; if anything, I'm understating the situation. Cronyism represents an obscene form of divide-and-conquer. To top that off, some of the facts I'm about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, when Square-Enix says that it answers to no one, that's just a load of spucatum tauri. Square-Enix has let its lofty-yet-prurient views cloud its sense of taste and reality. So let Square-Enix call me out-of-touch. I call it mean-spirited. Square-Enix will hate me for saying this, but its goal is to interfere with the most important principles of democracy. This is abject post-structuralism! The moral of the story: Snivelling sensualists often prove their point by relying on untenable conjecture and unverifiable hearsay. Konami: The only thing worse than being ignorant is not knowing how ignorant you are. That's Konami's problem. Before I say anything else, let me remind Konami that it has the nerve to call those of us who get people to sign a petition to limit its ability to cause trouble "conspiracy theorists". No, we're "conspiracy revealers" because we reveal that the impact of Konami's unimaginative hariolations is exactly that predicted by the Book of Revelation. Evil will preside over the land. Injustice will triumph over justice, chaos over order, futility over purpose, superstition over reason, and lies over truth. Only when humanity experiences this Hell on Earth will it fully appreciate that this makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of Konami's horny fibs. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.) How can we trust Konami if it doesn't trust us? We can't. And besides, I once overheard it say something quite astonishing. Are you strapped in? It said that Man's eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. Can you believe that? At least its statement made me realize that it wonders why everyone hates it. Apparently, it never stopped to think that maybe it's because its secret police often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. Do you really think that it can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion, as Konami claims? Wake up! The spectrum of views between racism and prætorianism is not a line but a circle at which smarmy radicals and nasty deviants meet. To properly place Konami somewhere in that spectrum, one needs to realize that Konami's provocateurs argue that unfounded attacks on character, loads of hyperbole, and fallacious information are the best way to make a point. These are the same feckless ingrates who block streets and traffic to the extent that ambulances can't get through. This is no coincidence; Konami wants to force me to cry. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis. After having read this, you may think that Konami's outrage at complaints about it is indicative of its self-esteem and value system. Nevertheless, you should always remember that we can't stand idly by and let Konami require religious services around the world to begin with "Konami is great; Konami is good; we thank Konami for our daily food". Namco: As a citizen of this country, which I believe in and which I have seen Namco tear apart, I must demand a thoughtful analysis and resolution of our problems with Namco. By way of introduction, let me just say that I hate it when people get their facts wrong. For instance, whenever I hear some corporate fat cat make noises about how the media should "create" news rather than report it, I can't help but think that in these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, Namco definitely believes that embracing a system of alcoholism will make everything right with the world. What kind of Humpty-Dumpty world is it living in? I would venture the answer has something to do with snobbism. To elaborate, if it gets its way, none of us will be able to stand by our principles and be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost. Therefore, we must not let it create an unwelcome climate for those of us who are striving to speak out against behavior and speech that is intended to capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities. How many of Namco's cringers are content to sit around doing absolutely nothing to contribute to the world around them? I'd hazard to guess that the number is pretty high. Not everyone agrees with Namco. Nevertheless, I can state with absolute certainty that far too many people tolerate Namco's assertions as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that if you've never seen Namco scrawl pro-anarchism graffiti over everything, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. To most people, the idea that what Namco insists are original rantings are nothing more than warmed-over versions of paternalism is so endemic, so long ingrained, that when others conclude that it does not take much perspicacity to see that the nicest thing that can be said about its operatives is that they are amateurish pettifoggers out to appropriate sacred symbols for nit-picky purposes, this merely seems to be affirming an obvious truth. You can waste all your time arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Or you can actually place a high value on honor and self-respect. You decide. There's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I maintain, there's a time to debate the efficacy of Namco's complacent hariolations. Or, to put it less poetically, in the Old Testament, the Book of Kings relates how the priests of Baal were slain for deceiving the people. I'm not suggesting that there be any contemporary parallel involving Namco, but Namco possesses no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and has no interest in erudition. Heck, it can't even spell or define "erudition", much less achieve it. Although Namco is only one turd floating in the moral cesspool that our society has become, it either is or elects to be ignorant of scientific principles and methods. Namco even intentionally misuses scientific terminology to reinforce the concept of collective guilt that is the root of all prejudice. Let me close where I began: Namco's excuses represent the most naive form of moral turpitude conceivable. Idea Factory: Multifarious avenues of approach vie for attention as potential retorts to Idea Factory's puerile prophecies. First and foremost, if we are powerless to bring fresh leadership and even-handed tolerance to the present controversy, it is because we have allowed Idea Factory to suppress all news that portrays it in a bad light. Idea Factory's politics are perpetuated by an ethos of continuous reform, the demand that one strive permanently and painfully for something which not only does not exist but is alien to the human condition. My purpose here is not to protect our peace, privacy, and safety. Well, okay, it is. But I should point out that Idea Factory's intimations symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion -- extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. But this is something to be filed away for future letters. At present, I wish to focus on only one thing: the fact that it's truly astounding that Idea Factory has found a way to work the words "piezocrystallization" and "philoprogenitiveness" into its insinuations. However, you may find it even more astounding that if history follows its course, it should be evident that in order to debunk the nonsense spouted by its hirelings, we must carry out the famous French admonition, écrasez l'infâme!, against its cock-and-bull stories. And that's just the first step. Remember, Idea Factory is not just goofy. It is unbelievably, astronomically goofy. Idea Factory wants us to emulate the White Queen from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who strives to believe "as many as six impossible things before breakfast". Then again, even the White Queen would have trouble believing that Idea Factory is a refined organization with the soundest ethics and morals you can imagine. I prefer to believe things that my experience tells me are true, such as that when Idea Factory says that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance, that's just a load of spucatum tauri. Faith is harder to shake than knowledge, love succumbs less to change than respect, hate is more enduring than aversion, and Idea Factory's list of sins is long and each one deserves more space than I have here. Therefore, rather than describe each one individually, I'll summarize by stating that all of the bad things that are currently going on are a symptom of its cruel, bloody-minded asseverations. They are not a cause; they are an effect. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: Idea Factory is one of the world's major voices of radicalism. http://www.pakin.org/complaint/
