Ideations of Violence

PART 3/6

In the course of studying drama, one focuses a lot on ideations of violence and if you're not a sub-literate American, you understand the phenomenon of depictions of violence as a part and parcel of our self-reflection as a species.

Of course, if you hate literature and theatre and art, you hate it because of how it makes you feel deep down inside to contemplate the insolubility of your own existential dilemma and that may happen before or after you decide to vote Republican.

Who taught you you were supposed to LIKE going to the theatre?

You don't really LIKE professional wrestling, do you?

Not unless you're an acritical sucker for cartoon violence.

And if you're one of those dullards who believes wrestling is real (a phenomenon that persists strangely even to this very day), this writing does not represent an effort to enlighten you through rational debate.

Instead, I'll help by prompting your mind to the sorts of ideations you would otherwise refuse to let yourself consider.

No, you think about it for a change.  

Discipline your own scattered mind.

Crack the whip on your own zoo of thoughts.

I practice my ideations of violence to better refine them, to perfect the aesthetic of their form as with a ballet.

If you think it's bad just to ideate on violence, how much worse must it be to profit on violence!

Have I choreographed a Hollywood stunt scene yet that glamorizes gratuitous violence in a juvenile and simplistic manner for hundreds of thousands of dollars yet?

NO??

Then you better re-think your entire damn concept of violence, you dodo.

You don't think professional wrestling promotes ideations of violence in the minds of youth?

How about I show up at your place of work and start barking at you like I'm Randy Savage?

What demographics describe the primary content-consumers of professional wrestling?

Who super-fueled the ideations of violence that made life in TX such misery for a child who preferred reading to wrestling?

Who were the know-nothing parents that fed their little babies a steady diet of television violence, ignoring their responsibility to raise mindful, literate, critically-aware citizens?
