Tol-In-Gaurhoth XXXVIII - E.T.T.T.S.O.W.I.

[Macalaure]

Nogrod, you accuse me of pleading to the masses? Well, I will freely admit that I do! The masses need to be wakened to see the evil ways in which they are being oppressed and manipulated by the likes of you. You can defame the pure truth of my arguments as ideology, but that does not diminish their validity, and they will prevail in the end - once the public begins to see. My fellow students, and all people of this oppressed world, I indeed plead to you! Let Nogrod not put a veil over your eyes! See the truth he desires to conceal from you! Of Right and Justice he talks, but Profit and Obedience he means. Let us lynch him now before it is too late!

Indeed! Indeed! You are on a good way to see through his web of lies and half-truths. He knows that he himself is the root of all evils. But, being a representative of the establishment, he wants to stay in power and therefore resorts to the cheap but effective tactic of turning others into scapegoats and false targets to distract from himself. Lynch him before it is too late!!


The Comrade of Amon Lanc makes some very good points at this early stage of our struggles against those in power. But that should not cause to decrease our caution about him! Even though much of what he says coincides with the truth, and even though we share a common class enemy, we should not forget that his real socialism is still only another form of oppression and we do not wish to exchange one oppressive system for another.

Let me say a few words about Lommy. These hippies are a sad story. They share our goals, they share our enemies, but they are gravely mistaken in the choice of their means. Preaching love and harmony is useless and dangerous against those who do not hesitate to deploy violence to achieve their ends. Only determined action can free us!

And keep in mind that mushrooms and such only serve to achieve acceptance of the intolerable social circumstances that we all find ourselves in. The establishment might condemn them, but secretly they are thankful for their existance.


Besides these truly fundamental points, also, as the Comrade of Amon Lanc has already noted, Lommy's extreme friendliness and stating of the more-or-less obvious does make one suspicious. I know it is not appreciated to suspect someone for being helpful, but helpfulness combined with obviousness is a little suspicious.

There are still too many fine minds who yet prefer to blend themselves into the masses. Stand up! Show your individuality! The movement needs you!


ooc: Because it has been mentioned - I think the way Brinniel takes Nogrod and me serious is too obvious to be a henchmannish tactic.
