A proposal, fellow Chathamites. An activist cadre to “shoot” the breeze about things social, cultural, political, health, etc. Simultaneously supporting local businesses equipped with taps. In deference to the viruses (staggering Corona but phew, zero Flu), to congregate outdoors.
For the Inaugural meeting, pre-paid Beer & Hors d’oeuvres on me. Time & Location (maybe “Chestnut Tree Cafe”?) to be determined. Email me your interest, and we go from there.
Proposed name, the Chatham Cadre of Progressives, or CCP. CCP, honoring our own CCPHD – Chatham County Public Health Department. And like minded CCPs abroad. Attend, and increase your wokeful cred.
The CCP has structure. If you don’t recall someone’s name, address them “Comrade”. The Cadre leader is “Big Brother”, or “Xi” for short. For the inaugural, you’ll recognize Big Brother Xi – unmistakably – by his attire.
While comradery and enjoying “Prole” beer are core, there IS a Party meeting structure:
o Call to Order (Klink mugs to Progressive GoodThink)
o Opening Two Minutes Hate – vilifying 45th President Goldstein ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Minutes_Hate ). Klink!
o [various topics plus draught]
o Regulation of WrongThink – speech to be throttled for Public Safety. Klink!
o Amerikan Heritage – murals up, statues down. Klink!
o Ministry of Health – new virus regulations for Public Safety. Klink!
o Social Justice – review banned WrongSpeak – without saying it. Klink!
o Book burn – warm up to 1984, The Machine Stops, Anthem. Klink!
o [various topics plus draught]
o Closing Two Minutes Hate. Klink!
o Adjourn (Klink to GoodThink, finale chorus “I love Big Brother”)
Additional for Inaugural meeting:
– Despite lack of need (GroupThink being universal), create our own Ministry of Truth, or Cominform, for disseminating CCP GroupThink and Prolefeed.
