Every Man Has A Right to the Left (and other revisionist neo-proverbs)

Iowahawk hit the paremiology on the head with his collection of proverbs last week, aptly enlightening American audiences about the truths and practical precepts of various Third World tribes, whose proverbial collective experiences are infinitely more liberating and inspiring than those of the so-called Dead White European Males (DWEM) – the useless inventors of an offensive culture with dull, dysfunctional proverbs.

Yet we would like to offer a small correction. The above view utterly disregards the recent progress made in our culture, most recently allowing the Western civilization to catch up with the more advanced tribes of the multicultural community. Obsessive revisionism and self-loathing, sacrificing the individual to the collective, consolidation of power in the hands of a strong central government, and the cult of a godlike leader have rightfully made us an equal member among the wonderfully diverse Third World countries. Miracles abound. One of them is the spontaneous supplanting of the misleading ex-proverbs of the shameful past, with correct neo-proverbs that properly reflect the current truth in accordance with the regularly updated political context.

If a culture is to be measured by the quality of its proverbs, then, paremiologically speaking, we should soon be able to judge a book by its cover, make the most noise, burn the bridges, part with our money, and by the year 2012 become the pride and joy of the whole wide Third World!

Below are a few collectively gathered neo-proverbs from our permanently revised collection at The People’s Cube:
