Passionate Circus at Objectivist Living

You know, the more I think about it (and with the passage of time) I am really begining to appreciate Jonathan over at Objectivist Living. The spat between him and artist Newberry is a riot. Seen here:

This is really starting to crack me up. Newberry is such a buffoonish caricature of a pretentious "Objectivist" replete with all the sanctimonious O'ist duck-speak (quack quack--man's life, the passion--quack quack).

The following snip from Jonathan shows to me that he is really making fun of Newberry in the exact same manner and style as I would. The biggest joke of all, of course, is seeing the OL circus leader gush about "the spirit of OL" as if all its members were a big rolly-polly family. Awwwww!

Back to reality. The OL clan routinely takes swipes at each other and it can get just as ugly as what is seen in highly dysfunctional families. MSK, it seems, has been weaned on a diet of the Walton (Good night John Boy) and other 1970s schmaltzy family-like television shows and he wishes to give the impression that OL is unique for its camaraderie---all the while taking bitch slaps at Ellen. LOL.

Here is family member Jonathan, giving his love to OL member Newberry, taking down others as well:

"The statue's god could be The Truth, Justice or The Good. His god might even be something like zealous devotion to True Objectivism, or to the notion of Moral Perfection (which, as we've all seen, is one of the gods worshiped by some who idolize Rand), or to the imagined unmatched grandeur of his own soul (which appears to be Newberry's god), or to the idea of being proudly, buffoonishly passionate about how passionate he is about being passionate about passion (which is pompous Pigero's god), or to any other notion of making oneself a vessel or servant of The Ideal Belief."



Hilarious! "...buffoonishly passionate about how passionate he is about being passionate about passion." What a sarcastic wit! How can you not love the cartoon circus that is this fucking world, and the microcosmic spec that is the Snake-pit, other wise known as "Objectivist Living." I love it. What a joy ride.

There's a certain air of significance in being the first one to recognize such a phenomenom. Fortunate for all of us, you will never have the burden of being so significant.
