If I were to write a dystopian novel…

You know utopian is the opposite of dystopian, don't you?

Terry Paulding

We get profoundly dangerous neighborhoods in which people routinely attack one another, strife fomented between ethnic groups and, concurrently with the vilification of the police, loss of the means for control. Police are to be “fried like bacon.” Why should they defend us citizens, if we are attacked!

. . ."These beings are masters of subtlety, at least for the first 80 or so years. But then, they up their game, because their planet is endangered, and not going to last much longer. They accelerate their manipulations, seeding the natural tendencies of earth beings to enhance greed in certain chosen people, while others get paranoia and violence. They can’t affect every single being, but they’re strategic, infiltrating governments, media, and institutions of higher learning so that, eventually, all of society is affected as the educated become teachers to the youth, the televisions blare the media message, and the government starts down the destructive path on which we now find ourselves.

"Their plan works perfectly. Society starts to crumble, just as the beings wanted.

"The plot is complex—these beings are very smart, capable of multi-tasking, and quite motivated to be ruthless. They take so many seemingly disparate actions, none of us earthlings can ever see the whole. Some people are fed delusions of grandeur, while deliberately made stupid enough to create nothing but chaos, destruction, and failure. Wrong thought becomes normal and the compulsion to destroy is given power and glory, under the guise of saving the earth.

"If we are made to think that we are destroying our planet, it acts as great cover—everyone is guilt-tripped, self-doubting, worried, and preoccupied. All the better to destroy our defenses against the coming invasion. We believe we are destroying the earth by populating it—hence the rationale for easy abortion, our lower impetus to procreate, and the now swarming masses migrating from one country to another, sowing ill-health, changing demographics, and stressing systems that have stood for centuries.". . .
