Definitely a postmodern societal trope

[dustytm.livejournal.com]

This dichotomy between Cat Town and Dogville seems to have established within its own postmodern millieu a sense of transcendance between the real and the animal. The conflict between the dueling sets of animals -- with and without hats (which would seem to imply a post-colonial idea of masks equaling moral signifiers -- more information on the background of the Animal Hat Gang would confirm this hypothesis) -- creates an almost Hegelian dialectic of societal ideals, upsetting the fruit basket of normal relations within the individual groups in favor of a conflagration of imbroglios and conflicting tropes. Which will emerge at the end, or will these groups forever be locked in opposing postmodern conflict? Can there be a resolution, and what does it mean for the future of democracy?

I think I'll write my doctoral dissertation on this, hurr hurr hurr.

Dusty, that's the best thing I've ever read.

I think I may just have to stop writing in post-modern jargon now. I have been so thoroughly bested that the only honorable thing to do is retire and meditate upon my disgrace.

And the beauty of it is, I was talking out of my ass.

One graduate course in postmodernism and I can spew invective with the best of them. Muahahaha.
