About The Chronicles of a Small Town
Hello there, and thank you for visiting my site. The Chronicles of a Small Town is collection of short stories about a group of teenage boys growing up in a town overrun by disgusting hippies. These four friends drink heavily, smoke plenty of weed, and despise their progressive classmates and teachers. Rome, Dakota, Richie and Donny (also known as the Backroad Burnouts, or The BRB Boys) engage in a series of misadventures that usually set them at odds with the school authorities and the police. I wrote these stories as a reaction to Postmodernist thinking, which is growing more prevalent in our society every day. For those of you who may not know, Postmodernism is a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that started in the 1950s as a successor to the Modernist movement of late 19th and early 20th centuries. Postmodernists think they are super deep and rebellious by challenging and criticizing virtually every aspect of society, much the way snot-nosed children do. The Postmodernists made their first big impact on the literary scene with a group of pedophiles and sexual deviants known as the Beats, whom I shall discuss in more detail at a later date. Two of the main tenets of Postmodernism is that “literary theory takes precedence over objective reality,” and “there are no facts, just interpretations.”
I think these ideas are complete horseshit because they are relativistic and lead to its proponents trying to normalize and justify humanity’s basest and most disgusting behaviors. I first noted this idiocy when I arrived in the public school system in the seventh grade, having just transferred over from a Catholic school. It didn’t take me long to realize that everything they were teaching was complete bullshit, and I openly started rebelling against their fictitious views of reality a year later. That is why The Chronicles of a Small Town centers on a group of eighth-grade boys trying to survive in their horribly liberal middle school. It’s kind of their awakening to the horrors of Postmodernist thinking, and I hope these stories serve as a wakeup call to the rest of the country. I have three goals for my stories:
1. To create some laughs and provide a light sense of nostalgia and maybe have the reader remember a time before the Postmodernist movement had created such divisions and hate. Yes, problems existed back in 1995-2001, but people were not nearly this bitter, angry, and divided.
​​​
2. To give a little insight to the absolute insanity being spewed by the education system and why. I think many of the situations The BRB Boys find themselves in will be relatable, and the liberal bullshit that occurs in their town will definitely be familiar to most people.
​​​
3. Give a gentle reminder to all those opposing the lunatic left to maintain their composure and not do anything stupid and to stay true to their roots.
I also think it's important to remind people that intellectual, artistic, and academic eras and movements have happened all throughout history, so this is nothing new. The Baroque, Neoclassical, Romantic, Realist, and Modernist movements were all very real, each with positive and negative aspects. We happen to be in an absolutely wretched “intellectual” period known as Postmodernism that I don't really see as having many positive aspects as it is dominated by the far left. These American Socialists, (who I refer to as Amsoc) are led by a group of academic elites who sway which direction Postmodernism takes, and that direction is Marxist theory. From their Ivory Towers (the Ivory Towers being the universities) critical theorists like Judith Butler, Nancy Fraser, Kimberle Crenshaw and other trendy writers have an enormous amount of influence over the faculties and curriculum committees at major universities. These committees decide which classes are necessary to get degrees, and those degrees determine which jobs people are eligible for. By using tactics inspired by Marx, Gramsci, Mao, and Althusser, these committees and critical theorists have already positioned themselves to take complete control over the social structure of America, much like the Nomenklatura did in The Soviet Union. ​
In my short stories, the profound and condescending arrogance at the heart of the American Socialist is personified by the characters Alex Clemens and Olivia Hutchins. Ms. Bennett, their teacher, represents the academic elites who are trying to exert their control over every facet of people’s lives. Responding to their shrill histrionics, Rome, Dakota, Richie, and Donny devise various schemes (usually while drunk or high) and heroically take the fight to the enemy, with mixed results at best. Hits to the Dome is a compilation of their first six adventures and is available on Amazon via this website in both print and eBook formats. They are also available on Apple Books. The next six parts will be published around Christmas of next year. For those of you who are interested in learning more about the dangers of Postmodernism, I shall be releasing a much more thorough criticism in the next couple weeks. I fully anticipate being fired and cast out of my apartment and into the cold for speaking out against the Marxist Machine. May God have mercy on us all.
