Staring at Goats

The cat is out of the bag, has been for quite some time. The cat is disfigured, grotesque, and in constant, unbearable pain. Once an innocent, beautiful creature she is now a hideous abomination we can scarcely stand to look at. A mere kitty.
The kitty gets to play here so that her existence then becomes a conspiracy theory of whacko lefties. Plausible deniability via guilt through association. Purpose served, novels jotted down.

“’People have been so brainwashed by fiction,’ said Eric as we drove to the local Kinkos to pick up the press releases for the conference, so brainwashed by the Tom Clancy thing, they think, ‘We know this stuff. We know the CIA does this.’ Actually, we know nothing of this. There’s no case of this, and all this fictional stuff is like an immunization against reality. It makes people think they know things that they don’t know and it enables them to have a kind of superficial quasi-sophistication and cynicism which is just a thin layer beyond which they’re not cynical at all.’”
It isn’t that people aren’t interested: it’s that they’re interested in the wrong way.”

-Jon Ronson quoting Eric Olsen in “Men Who Stare at Goats”

In the final stages of the fascist state, immunizations against reality are passed out for next to nothing.
