What’s the bloody old Trash World really like? Is it actually as bad as they say, or is it perhaps even worse? Can it be good fun too sometimes, if you happen to be in the right frame of mind? Can it be a bit of a laugh, or is it dangerous for our mental health? These are just some of the questions that might be going through our heads. We’re curious, you see – we want to get the lowdown on the jolly old Trash World. The fabulously loathsome Garbage World. The Horror Universe of Pestilential Filth. Could it be a destination for a family holiday, for example? What’s the entertainment like there? Does it get good reviews on the relevant websites, Tripadvizor and the like…?
All these questions and more, my friends, all these questions and more will undoubtedly go running through your heads, like mice pitter-pattering through your attic late at night. What does it really like, aside from all the hype? Aside from all that vile sickening propaganda. The authorities tell us that it’s all good stuff and that we should be grateful for it. They say that we shouldn’t run around complaining so much. Like a bunch of lousy ingrates. They say that it’s what God intended for us and that we could get in trouble for questioning it too much. Or at all. They said God will be angry with us and send us to hell for our bad attitude. But then again, the authorities are always saying this sort of thing, aren’t they? What else have the authorities ever said? I don’t think we should pay them any heed. All institutions are fundamentally evil, after all. That is their nature. We don’t like to face the fact – understandably enough, you might say – but it’s true all the same. It’s a fact, like it or not. They’re is evil as evil can be but we’re in no hurry to take that on board. You can bet your underpants on that!
But enough of that – I have no wish to bore you with my interminable ranting about the crappy old Trash World. What good would that do? What would that solve? You see my point, I’m sure. You get what I’m trying to say, even if you don’t necessarily agree with me. You quite possibly think that the Trash World is great and – and if that’s the case – then I am content to ‘agree to disagree’, as they say. You might think that the loathsome old Garbage World is the bee’s knees, or the cat’s pyjamas, or whatever else, and I’m not going to waste what little energy I have by trying to argue with you. No indeed. You might say that the pestilential old Nonsense World is the coolest thing going, and that there’s lots and lots of good stuff going on there. The very best kind of stuff. You might say that the elected officials who are presiding over the shit show in question know exactly what they’re doing and that they’re real smart and everything like that, and who am I to argue with you? What kind of fool would I be to get caught up in that argument? What good would it do me? I’m not going to debate the point with you. Go for it, buddy, that’s what I have to say. Knock yourself out…
