A necessarily abstruse metaphorical tribute to greywolfe359's epic blaze-of-glory and the defiant Sanders campaign for which it stands

In case you missed greywolfe359's epic, here's the nice place it was posted: http://caucus99percent.com/content/its-over-gandalf-we-need-unite-behind.... I published this necessarily abstruse tribute last night at Daily Kos at the group blogs of all the unusual suspects. This is my first try at the essay technology here, so pardon my progressivity. No, I do not have serious personal issues.

It was entitled:

Introducing, the ultimate Bronie safe space--My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Here's the tastefully understated content:

A totalitarian-free place where you can put your guard down (just trust me). Metaphors so abstruse as to be meaningless yet providing potentially revolutionary levels of comfort.

Who are we?

The show received praise from television critics and parental groups. It also found an unlikely audience in a large group of adult Internet users in late 2010 and early 2011. These fans, mostly male, were drawn to the show's characters, stories, animation style, and influence of the show's propagation as an Internet meme. The fandom adopted the name brony (plural bronies), a portmanteau of "bro" and "pony". Though initially considered to propagate the humorous and ironic concept of people enjoying a show for young girls, the fandom has shown deeper appreciation for the show far beyond this concept, and is considered part of a New Sincerity trend. Its technology-savvy members have created numerous works in writing, music, art, and video based on the show, have established websites and fan conventions for the show, and have participated in charitable events around the show and those that create it.

This week, let’s have a deep cleansing cry.

Now, let's slowly let our anger build back to epic proportion.

See you next week, come rain or shine, for months to come.

In new sincerity, and epic levels of solidarity,

But was it abstruse enough?

Good to see you here. Satire was too much for the Blogowner. I expect to see every comment I make here back on Dkos. Some folks will copy and try to get me banned.

I think the Blogowner is wrong.

That the candidate he chooses is so weak that satire is forbidden speaks volumes.

over there, I'd be careful what I said here! Lord knows they're looking for comments to bad mouth us with daily. (Kinda funny, ain't it? Reminds me of all those "Be careful what you share on facebook, because your employer can FIRE you" crap ads.)

I refuse to fit my speech to the lowest common denominator that might be reading it.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

If it encompasses a completely separate website and the conduct there, it will get very interesting. I'm not worried at all, just baffled and amused and feeling the Bern and the need for political revolution.

Feelin' the Bern myself! Thanks for your courage over there. I do my morning comment in the BNR, otherwise, it's so great here, among friends, I stick around. Wink
