I want to travel back in time and lop the goddamn heads off all your innocent mommies and daddies.
Come on. Tell me why you deserve to live. I mean, I know I've been away, and things have changed, all that. But there's absolutely no excuse for the behavior you've all been displaying since I came back
I am talking specifically about the extensive shrines set up outside my apartment building. I am talking about the two people who attempted to have sex in my shadow to guarantee conception. I am talking about the Conclave who scrabbled through the bag of garbage I couldn't get my Maker to use. I am talking about the people who stole my bathwater and drank it.
This is America. I want money for these things. I mean, I have some especially Holy underpants here, shattered and ruined by unusual stresses, and I can't let them go to a good cause for anything less than a hundred...
We live in a monoculture.
What does that mean? Well, go out to your street corner. You'll probably see a Long Pig stand, SPKF on a screen somewhere, an Angry Boy Dylan's Gun Store. You'll go into a record store and see new recordings by the usual suspects, maybe a special Space Culture display rack.
Go out onto a streetcorner in London and you'll see the same thing. Same in Prague. Same in Sao Paulo. Same in Osaka, and Grozny, and Tehran, and Jo'burg, and Hobart.
That's what a monoculture is. It's everywhere, and it's all the same. And it takes up alien cultures and digests them and shits them out in a homogeneous building-block shape that fits seamlessly into the vast blank wall of the monoculture.
This is the future. This is what we built. This is what we wanted. It must have been. Because we all had a fucking choice, didn't we? It is only our money that allows commercial culture to flower. If we didn't want to live like this, we could have changed it any time, by not fucking paying for it.
So let's celebrate by all going out and buying the same burger.
