I want you all to know I have nothing against the Phasmatian religion. If you read their Sacred Text, you’ll see that it is an inspiring credo that would go a long way towards bettering  both the individual, and the human collective.

 

Phasmatian indignation for Dan Dowhal, author of skyfisherOf course, if you’ve ever red … oops, sorry, Freudian slip … if you’ve ever read the original Soviet constitution, that would make you weep too with its poetic vision of a just Utopian society. The problem is when a corrupt clique of ruthless dictators hijack the movement, and warp it to their own evil ways. And that was the fictional point I was making with skyfisher.

So to those Phasmatians who have been harassing me, and spitting on me, and threatening me (and to that priestess who is now giving me the cold shoulder) I emphasize that I have nothing against Phasmatians. Spiritually and ethically I consider myself a Phasmatian too (among other things). I do not deserve the indignation the Phasmatian nation has been showering upon me.

Remember, when you lose your perspective and your sense of humour, you are only a streetcar ride away from fanaticism.
