Of irony and libel
Foz Meadows clearly doesn't appreciate irony even when she publicly displays it while in the process of libeling a leading, Hugo-nominated science fiction editor:Stories reflect us, and we reflect them back at themselves, like one of Terry Pratchett’s witches standing at the heart of a room of mirrors: humanity all the way down. In the midst of real-world politics and their ever-evolving consequences, our narrow individual perspective is that of a character denied the author’s omniscience: we don’t know what to make of the pattern of things – if there even is a pattern – or where events are headed, and yet we still have to choose what to do in the moment. And so we look outside ourselves, to stories where we do really know what’s happening, to characters in whose hopes and fears we recognise our own. We might make jokes and memes about it, buy little rubber bracelets stamped with WWBD (What Would Buffy Do?) and laugh at our preoccupation with people who don’t really exist, but when the hammer falls and our own words fail us, theirs remain.I have written to John O'Neill, my former editor at Black Gate, asking him to remove this false, malicious, and materially damaging libel directed at me. As I was a long-time contributor to Black Gate, Mr. O'Neill knows perfectly well that I am neither a neo-Nazi nor a National Socialist, I have never been a neo-Nazi or a National Socialist, I do not belong to, or subscribe to, the tenets of the German National Socialist Workers Party or any subsequent facsimile, and I do not appreciate the libelous attempts of Ms Meadows, to publicly and falsely assert that I am.
I must not tell lies.
We are not things.
If we burn, you burn with us.
Right now, we don’t need a Jedi Master to tell us that fear leads to anger, anger to hate, and hate to suffering: that’s not an abstract mystical tenet, but the bedrock of our current political reality. For the past few years, the Sad and Rabid Puppies – guided by an actual neo-Nazi – have campaigned against what they perceive as the recent politicization of SFF as a genre, as though it’s humanly possible to write a story involving people that doesn’t have a political dimension; as though “political narrative” means “I disagreed with the premise or content, which makes it Wrong” and not “a narrative which contains and was written by people.”
Moreover, the link which was provided to demonstrate that I am "an actual neo-Nazi" actually proves the precise opposite.
As I told the reporter from the New York Times who sent me a series of questions concerning the Alt-Right yesterday, the Alt-Right is very different than the Ku Klux Klan because the Ku Klux Klan is an irrelevant and outdated American organization based on race while the Alt-Right is an increasingly popular, increasingly relevant political philosophy of global appeal based on nationalism.
And it is really not at all difficult to understand that the Alt-Right is also very different than an irrelevant and outdated German political party based on pan-German imperialism. One has to be almost remarkably stupid to genuinely confuse the two.
