Bay Aryans

San Francisco constantly struggles with itself to solve the question of how many assholes it\'s possible to fit into a square mile. How many cybersissies can you cram into a phone booth? How many Gaia-peddling belly-floppers? How many self-absorbed monkish Nerf balls of ideological irrelevance? How many dayglo lemon-meringue fashion tarantulas? How many gaunt, cellophane-wrapped nipple-tweakers? How many prune-twatted hipster debutantes?

It\'s a star-lit ballroom full of elitists masquerading as egalitarians. Of snobs pretending to be socialists. Of petty backstabbers who appoint themselves as, moral crusaders These creeps can\'t get along with the other 99% of the country -- shit, most of their time is spent quarreling among themselves -- yet they try to fist-fuck you with Universal Brotherhood. Almost down to the very last shaved anus, San Franciscans are a xenophobic breed, If you don\'t speak, look, and act like a San Franciscan, their policy is one of Zero Tolerance. They\'re totalitarian in the sense that they insist on controlling the thoughts and lives of others through forceful statist intervention. In doing so, they align themselves with the establishment which they pretend to be overthrowing. They\'re a buncha urban supremacists. Unyielding. Humorless. Stuffed to the gills with an unwarranted sense of their own cultural/ moral superiority. I call them \"Bay Aryans.\"

Surely I must be kidding, that I don\'t mean to compare such twinkle-toed West Coast coolness-mongerers to the TEETH-CHATTERINGLY SINISTER ATROCITIES of the Nazi pork-butchers. After all, Hitler killed six million Jewboys! That\'s enuff goldurned Heeb-a-ross to fill eight San Franciscos. You may be right, tootsie-pop, but are you aware that non-racist, peace-licking, universal-personhood-touting communist governments have slaughtered ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION PEOPLE this century? The commies beat Hitler 20- 1. Their unbounded love for \"humanity\" didn\'t seem to put a check on an even stronger love for controlling and killing human beings. So much for your murky notions of government-mandated humanism. Better a Nazi than a commie, I guess. And either one\'s better than a Bay Aryan. Being born in San Francisco is excusable, provided that you evacuate within 30 days of reaching adulthood. But moving TO the Bay Area is unforgivable under any circumstance. Based on an unfortunate long-term trend of Freak Relocation, the town has become a sort of Kurdish tent village of refugee wierdlings. A once-pretty city with flap-happy seagulls has degenerated into an island of white-breads-in-exile who\'ve all fled from hometown persecution. San Francisco\'s foggy hills have become America\'s largest support group, a Jonestown for people who were socially traumatized in high school. Within city limits, I think, San Francisco\'s fine as a cultural sanctuary for oversocialized misfits. Its danger lies in an apparently insatiable drive to vengefully impose its values on everyone outside the fortress. I think it\'s good that you people should have your own ghetto. I just think we should build a fence around it. Among most humans, the need for social approval seems stronger than the need to know the truth. Rejected by the Uberclique, the Bay Ayrans form cliques of their own. Blind puppies in a cardboard box, they crawl over each other looking for \'scene\' status. So weak as individuals, they truly believe that \'scene status\' is a worthy goal. They howl about \'fighting facism\' yet they exhibit a strong urge to feel a part of some \'community\' which is the first flash of the facist impulse. You all need a crowd. You all need a movement. You need to be surrounded by the wool of a million other sheep before you start to feel warm. You all have social consciences because you\'re zeros as individuals. Your \'compassion\' for others is ironically founded on your own self-hatred. You swim with \'the movement\' because you\'re lost on your own. I don\'t care about your precious personal lifestyle choices. I really don\'t. And your entire dingbat philosophy, the whole tectonic plate on which San Francisco rests, is based on the false presumption that people such as me are upset with the manner in which you flap your genitals around. Egads.

It isn\'t what you do, it\'s the way you do it. Not the meat, but rather the motion. It\'s not what you\'re saying, it\'s your lousy voice. It isn\'t your private piss-slurping, it\'s your public megaphone-mouth. It ain\'t how you move beneath the sheets, it\'s the way you wave the picket signs around. The problem isn\'t your self-consciously \"decadent\" personal lifestyle, it\'s your warped social instincts. It has nothing to do with the widespread sidewalk display of ass-rimming ... or the women who look like Lou Costello ... or even the concept of white people who hate the concept of white people. In fact, those are some of the things I LIKE about SF. It\'s the attitude. The vantage point. Cloistered in a cultural Presidio, the Bay Aryans see fit to cast judgment about the millions of peasants who live out on the Plains. The Bay Aryans prove that they aren\'t truly compassionare by consistently showing a flagrant hatred for America\'s white rural limpenproletariat.

Though San Franciscans may mince through the streets in protest of hate speech, they sure as shootin\' despise dem trailer trash. Although their hearts are opened like dilated (something to do with the lower alimentary canal) for poster kids halfway around the world, they disowned the homebound hillbillies a long time ago. I wonder what would happen if the hillbillies were to disown the Bay Aryans? Maybe if all the redneck farmers just decided to stop growing crops for a year. Perhaps if all the white-trash truckers agreed to halt delivery of all goods into this hostile enemy area. Maybe if all the EVIL WHITE MALE PIG COPS decided to ease up on Oakland and let black people really express how they feel about their brethren in Frisco and Berkely. That\'s all it would take. A puff of wind and they\'d all fall down. It\'s a good thing the rest of your country sees your city as a harmless Fruitcake Palace. The rest of America is too busy trying to put food on the table than worrying about your neurotic socio-libidinal peccadilloes. The rest of America could get along fine without San Francisco. The reverse is hardly true. You should thank Goddess that there are a few Nazis in Idaho and a smattering of Klansmen in Kentucky, because what else would you talk about at the weekly gatherings of the collective? Never mind that you all live in a much more AFFLUENT place than Idahoans or Kentuckians do. Personal finances don\'t often factor into your idea of what constitutes oppression, do they? You claim to identify with the poor and downtrodden, yet you\'re miraculously able to pay some of the highest rents in America. How do you do it? Maybe if you took the silver spoon out of your mouth, I\'d be able to understand what you were rumbling about empowerment.

Modem American Leftoidism, a Volk religion epitomized in places as the evil SF/Berkeley vortex, is almost exclusively the purview of upper-middle-class white kids who\'ve never breathed a fleeting gasp of true oppression in their lives. This must be why the Bay Aryans don\'t seem nearly as concerned with America\'s widening class disparities as they are with its fashion mistakes and verbal boorishness.

Though the Bay Aryans fancy themselves as revolutionaries, they\'re actually little more than a left-wristed inversion of Miss Manners. An area that prides itself on the Free Speech Movement is now gung-ho in favor of legal restrictions on terminology which it doesn\'t deem proper or sensitive. The Bay area teems with tattletales and stool pigeons and hall monitors and snitches. Since they don\'t have any REAL problems in their lives, these mushy bananas worry about getting their feelings bruised.

Perhaps it hasn\'t occurred to you. but human history is not entirely summarized by the bold struggle for the \"right\" to poke your (you can guess what) through disco-bathroom glory holes. Not every act is political. Some are just silly and ugly and stinky.

Are you all high on crack? Does some municipal law require you to either have a glass pipe or a dick in your mouth at all times? Who else would seriously try to argue that rape has nothing to do with sex or that racism has nothing to do with economics? The holes in your logic have been stretched wider than your sphincters. Any honest overview of African, Asian, and Hispanic cultures would reveal more sexism, homophobia, and ethnic strife than you could shake a white dick at. Everyone is born corrupt. White males were simply better at it. You can show your sincere opposition to whitemale imperialism by giving your city back to the Injuns. Maybe we could help San Francisco realize its multicultural dreams by immediately shipping a million or so Third World indigents there. Let them take your jobs while you starve for awhile. We could forcibly relocate all the white-hipster undesirables out to Alcatraz, where they\'d perform bloody gladitorial feats to the delight of Kenyan tourists on paddleboats.

I\'m glad you\'ve all gathered together in one place. Makes it easier to aim the missiles. Aren\'t you due for another natural disaster or something? Exactly what year are you scheduled to slide into the ocean? I want to take pictures. No offense, but I have a higher opinion of the runny, worm-filled dogsshit I scrape from my boot with a popsicle stick than I do of your fair city. You gave us OJ Simpson, but what have you done lately?

San Francisco, America\'s B-movie imitation of Paris. San Francisco, the city that ruined punk rock. San Francisco, the most intolerant place in the country. Second to Berkeley, of course. Berkeley\'s so bad, it\'s too painful to talk about. Tony Bennett left his heart. I took a dump. I\'d tell you all to go to hell, but you already live there.
