Oh Beldar, thank heavens you’re ok. We hadn’t heard from you in so long that we were getting worried. Instead, we find that you’ve assimilated into the culture here in record time.
I hate to break it to you, but the group you’ve apparently been hanging out with is doing you more harm than good. You see, there is a faction of our society that will do or say anything just to prove that the rest of us are stupid and willing to be “controlled.” They do something called cherry picking, which means they’ll willingly ignore common wisdom in favor of one gem they’ve mined that proves other people are wrong and too stupid for their own good. If you’ve had a chance to observe our religious practices here, Beldar, I bet you’ve found folks also do this with religious texts to “prove” that certain lifestyles or practices are sinful. And no doubt you got a good look at our political system in the past couple of months—some of these independent thinkers are currently declaring that the results of our recent presidential election are illegitimate!
Some of these folks are busy digging up “facts” that prove the election was stolen from the current president despite zero evidence. (You might have seen one of them on TV with hair dye running down his face.)
I hope you will enjoy our upcoming cultural phenomenon called Christmas. It’s a doozy. Please do check in and give us your impressions of that! Although things are somewhat subdued this year due to this darn pandemic and the fact that just about 3,000 of us have been wiped out.
Anywho, we wish you and yours a merry Christmas. Don’t forget to consume mass quantities! Perhaps in the new year you’ll choose to spend some time with a different group of folks just for a change of pace, and to see the other side of things.
