Okeydoke, PW. In which case, let's look at a hypothetical question. If I were to write and publish a story in which a time traveller made a series of accurate predictions, and then told you that in the future white people would be second-class citizens in a world run by black people, that the black people were submitting the white people to a rule of terrible savagery and cruelty, and that this future had come to pass because the white people had not killed all the black people when they had a chance, would I then be entitled to be all upset if people subjected that to any sort of critical examination? I mean, I can say that it is science-fiction, but it's also a story in which I, the writer, identify myself as myself and then tell a tale intended to highlight the dread consequences of not striking hard and mercilessly enough at the dark-skinned menace that even now threatens our freedoms. Try the same thing with Jews. That's not an acontextual act.
And the point of the gun, I think, in answer to Ig's question, is that he threatens to shoot him because he can't handle the truth. It is making his weak, liberal brain hurt. |
