Okay, this is overly hilarious. Not just because I'm not musicsweetie but also because it doesn't even sound like me. Do I sound like someone who asks to know stuff like where somebody lives and such? No. I've said this before, but for those who have seen the Twilight Zone episode called "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" will understand.
Basically the episode is a metaphor for the cold war mentality and how everybody jumps to conclusions and accuses innocent people of being communist (or in the show's case; aliens)
The instance of musicsweetie being accused of being me is the first step; just like in the show when they started accusing Steve Brand or Les Goodman of being monsters/aliens, also like people in the US being accused of communism.
The next step is chaos. (well, maybe, idk if it'll get there) This is easily illustrated by the last few lines of the show:
"Understand the procedure now? Just stop a few of their machines, and radios, and telephones, and lawnmowers, throw them into darkness for a few hours, and then sit back and watch the pattern."
"And this pattern is always the same?"
"With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find....and it's themselves. All we need do is sit back and watch."
"Then I take it this place, this Maple Street, is not unique."
"By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets, and we'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves. One to the other. One to the other. One to the other."
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosives and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own; for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.
Ha Ha.
