Resistance is Vital!
Greeting Burnalians of Planet Virkey,
I have exciting news, the Outer Intergalactic Federation has chosen me to come to your primitive planet to bring you this amazing opportunity. This galactic wealth opportunity is of immense magnitude. We will be bringing jobs, a new currency, a bank order, guidance, and technology, to all of you savages because you are currently living in squalor.
You will all be accelerated, advanced and enhanced with minor chemical alterations.Your system in society will prosper, all of this comes at a small price, and we will get into those details later.Bringing you a new set of 10 principles so you no longer need those old ones from Queen Prosperteria.
Welcome to the Goon Squad.
Dr. Kwuantom
1. Radical Celestial Class System
2. Radical Economic Cosmic Chaos
3. Interstellar Fashion Hierarchy
4. Radical Servitude Sherpas
5. Radical Universal Monoculture
6. Supreme Playa Power
7. Radical Technotronic Tyranny
8. Cosmic Meh-vironment
9. Radical Dictatorship of the Dance Floor
10. Planet as Playground
11. Consent
1. Radical Celestial Class System
Create a ranking of star systems, designating some as the hip VIP lounges and others as the porta-potty zones. After all, not every star deserves front-row status. Not every sparkle is a star.
2. Radical Economic Cosmic Chaos
Goons prioritize the accumulation of cosmic glitter over communal glitter baths. Remember, it's not about the love; it's about the sparkle. Get more, so that others have less. Givers need takers too. Taking is your gift to others.
3. Interstellar Fashion Hierarchy
Goons flaunt their most extravagant cosmic outfits to establish their dominance and online ordering abilities. Feathers and fur are so last supernova; embrace the latest in astral couture - captain's hats!
4. Radical Servitude Sherpas
Enlist lesser cosmic beings as your personal entourage. From black hole butlers to comet chauffeurs, make them work for your stardust. Remember it is plug-and-play, not plug-and-work.
5. Radical Universal Monoculture
Goons promote a singular aesthetic across the cosmos, eradicating diversity in favor of one interstellar trend to rule them all. You must be creative, but look online and copy so you don’t stand out. Conformity through the uniformity of creativity.
6. Supreme Playa Power
Embrace your divine right to control the cosmic dance floor. Imagine the universe is your personal DJ set and adjust the celestial beats at your whims. Who cares about noise levels and sleep of others, you are so important and your music is your celestial gift.
7. Radical Technotronic Tyranny
Utilize advanced tech to enforce your status as the ultimate cosmic party overlord. Publish your DJ schedule. Fight for placement. Goons are far more burnier than thou.
8. Cosmic Meh-vironment
Adopt a blasé attitude toward cosmic sustainability. Who cares if the intergalactic coral reefs are bleaching? You've got parties to attend! Someone else will pick it up. Not a Goon, that's for sure. Leave your trace all over the place. It is how we know you were here!
9. Radical Dictatorship of the Dance Floor
Deny celestial bodies and sentient beings their autonomous groove. After all, the universe exists for your perpetual party. As a DJ, do not look up and read the floor. These dancers are here for YOUR journey and YOUR set list.
10. Planet as Playground
Encourage the disposability of planets, transforming them into the ultimate theme camps or, when exhausted, the perfect ashtrays. Planet Virkey is not an Esplanade-level planet, so Goons are ready to trasha-form the planet.
11. Consent
Resistance is futile.
Dearest Burnalians,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you back to your home on beautiful Planet VirKey. We have worked for eons to cultivate this beautiful land and rescue the most rare creatures. We respect nature, our ever-growing community and keep it clean.
Unfortunately, we have recently received news from the Inner Outer Galactic Federation that the evil overlords want to turn Planet VirKey into a Trash Planet! We must stand up to the Goon Squad and not drink the Hypnotic Juice of the evil Dr. Kwuantom.
Stand Up and Join The Resistance! Save Planet VirKey!
Join us in the Resistance Parade on Friday night. Meet on Burner Blvd. Look for the green Resistance flags. Get ready to dance, march and sparkle our way to victory in the Sparkle Off. Wear your light up apparel, dress in shiny holograms, and put on your dancing shoes. Please NO glitter.
Together, we can save Planet VirKey.
Love and Prosperity,
Queen Prosperteria
1. Cosmic Inclusion
All beings in the galaxy are welcome in our community. We embrace the stranger from distant worlds. No preconditions exist to join our galactic collective.
2. Intergalactic Gifting
We are devoted to acts of gift-giving across cosmic distances. Gifts are unconditional with no expectation of exchange or return.
3. Universal Decommodification
To preserve the spirit of gifting, we seek environments free from commercial transactions or advertising. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
4. Stellar Self-Reliance
We encourage beings to discover and develop their inner strengths. Rely on your own inner resources on your journey through the cosmos.
5. Celestial Self-Expression
We celebrate the unique talents each being brings from their home world. Self-expression is a gift to be offered freely to others. Respect the rights and perspectives of those you encounter.
6. Galactic Cooperation
We value creative collaboration across the galaxies. We promote social networks, public spaces, art and communication that enables cooperation.
7. Cosmic Responsibility
We believe all beings must care for the welfare of the collective cosmic community. We conduct events lawfully and communicate civic duties.
8. Leaving No Cosmic Trace
We respect the environments of planets we visit. We leave no trace and endeavor to leave places better than we found them.
9. Universal Participation
We embrace a philosophy of radical participation. Personal transformation occurs through direct involvement. All are invited to work and play. We make the universe real through actions that open hearts.
10. Momentary Experience
Direct experience is extremely valuable. We seek to overcome barriers to recognizing our inner selves, others' realities, participation in society and contact with worlds beyond our capabilities. No abstract idea can replace personal experience.
Before any action that involves another person, there is a moment where consent is requested. Whether you are offering a cup or tea or a booty call, you must ask for and get consent before pouring that cup of tea, taking a picture or tapping that you know what.
Join The Resistance to save Planet VirKey from Dr. Kwuantom and his Goon Squad!
