The Tragic Story
of the Sad Demise of Un-unreconstructionism: A
Cautionary Tale
by Wallace
Runnymede
Thanks
to Francis John Guillem Gene-Rowe for the
nonsensical socially-constructed notion of un-unreconstructionism.
Once
upon a time, in an academic campus far far away,
there was a little critical ideology who really
was not like all the rest.
The
academic campus was a kingdom of fools, but there
was but one magic little ideology, and he was
cleverer than all the rest.
One
day, however, some wicked warlocks and
enchantresses cast an evil spell upon the
ideology.
The
little ideology became ill; or at least, such was
the opinion of those traduced by mainstream
bourgeois medical science.
One
day he died.
And
now the wondrous academic campus far, far away,
no longer had any true critics.
But
one day, a scroll appeared, suspended in the air,
between heaven and earth.
The
scroll warned the wondrous campus ideologies of
their crime, in not accepting the little critical
ideology who as I have said, was just like
all the others, insofar as he really
was not like all the rest.
The
magic scroll said the following:
Because
of you, the little ideology, the sole, single,
authentically critical ideology who you
arrogantly and ignorantly despised, is now dead.
Do you even know his name? His name was un-unreconstructionism.
And
what you foolish people did not understand, is
that this little ideology was of noble stock.
Oh,
yes! You know, the original true and authentic
founding masters of un-unreconstructionism had
their original, true and authentic message
corrupted by vicious second-rate epigones who
corrupted the original, pristine true message.
Thus
it was, that against the true wisdom and virtuous
intentions of the GENUINE non-no-true-un-unreconstructionists,
that this originally innovative and truly
critical ideology was corrupted and absorbed into
the decadent, late-capitalist, neoliberal academy.
There
will be no happy ending to this story. Shame upon
you all!!! :(
No-one
listened to the magic scroll.
What
an utter pile of speculative, contrived,
metaphysical bollocks!
They
moaned.
And
no one ever heard of the critical little ideology
called un-unreconstruction, ever again.
Yeah…
Well,
shit happens.
You
know, not every fairy tale has a happy ending!
