No wonder the Dwarfs are out to get us all,
with this kind of anti-Dwarf stereotyping.
"Evil" dwarfs, like "Evil Empires", or "Great Satan"
America, I suppose.
"Why do they hate us? "
To dwarfs, we must sound like clueless Americans
who watch sappy sit-coms and vote for one
closet-fascist mobster after another. They
stuff their faces with cheese puffs and Coke,
while CIA-installed dictators shove bayonets
up vaginas, electroshock genitals, and throw
opponents from planes without parachutes, all
with secret assistance from a country that
blow so loudly about being freedom-loving.
Superstitiously supernaturalizing human affairs
is a great way to demonize enemies, quite literally,
but then again, that is how they became our
enemies. "God does not hear the prayers of Jews",
"Gays are abominations in the eyes of God".
The first blood libel helped bring 60 million dead in WWII.
The second blood libel is getting ready to help bring
more than that. But is it really about "evil" Dwarfs,
or more about justified Dwarf retaliation, at long last, after
millennia of superstitious blood libels and daily insult,
born of religious bigotry?
According to Leviticus in the Bible, dwarves
and other deformed people were not good enough
and whole enough to be welcome in Church rituals.
The "Good Book". Right.
I have no fear. I have been to the Mountain Top.
Everyone looks just like little ants from up there.
It is amazing. Smaller than dwarfs. But from up there,
it looks like the human race is horde of hungry
army ants, devouring their own fields cleaner
than a chickenbone, spoiling their own picnic.
Even without an assist from nihlistic and cynical
dwarfs, it is a picture of rotten fruit getting ready
to fall from the tree under its own weight, quite
on its own. The Dwarf, really, is a Jester/Prophet/Clown,
here to provide mockery for the human races own
failures.
