Pagan Unity is an Oxymoron

Why is it that so many eclectic wiccans talk like theirs is the one and only center of the pagan universe, the majority rule, that if you don’t speak in their terms and play their game you don’t belong? The preaching of “tolerance”, assuming to be the authority by virtue of “true universal unity” justifying the right to redefine any culture they want to fit this ideology. Indeed, by much the same proxy, no matter what they call themselves, it’s all the same- completely oblivious to any real ethnic distinctions. Yet in the same breath they’ll lament the human destruction of biodiversity. Ah, but don’t they just love to feed me the excuse that I should be so open-minded to such blatant pedantry. As if all the places I’ve lived, all the cultures I’ve experienced and all the different languages I have spoken, just can’t measure up to the shear sublime euphoria of it all. Sorry, but Disneyland just isn’t the real world. Heaven forbid, trying to pull that one in a truly foreign country, and then wonder why wars start. As the saying goes: the best way to start realizing your dreams is to wake up. At this rate it seems the global village conspires to turn it all into one big third world shanty town so the rest can eat Chinese at McDonald’s. Just where is the spiritual meaning in that? If I wanted that I would have had myself baptized. Man, did they ever sell you lot up the Jordan. Same shit, different name. Come on, this isn't about some idyllic universal order of things, rather, it's becoming more like the borg usurping other worlds just to assimilate them. Nature, tooth and claw.
