This work was first published to the Craigslist site for New York City by an anonymous artist.

Through intentional misspelling, intense overuse of ALL CAPS and unsupported references to historical events, the author creatively channels the fears of an aging and racist component of conservative white U.S. society.

Of specific interest is the author’s claim of military service. It is well known that in the U.S. those who have served in the military are seen as nearly above reproach such that any specious argument can be left unchallenged with the mere invocation of veteran military status.

It would be a mistake to interpret this text literally for it is impossible for one person to actually believe the things said here. Rather, one should read this work as an absurdist commentary on American political discourse and the marketplace of civic ideas.

In fact, the posting of this work on Craigslist, a literal marketplace, further supports the positioning of this work as art rather than legitimate political commentary.
