Triden Versus Bump

The Great Debate

The debate between Oswald Triden, current premier of the New American Federation and leader of the Democratic Association of Liberated Beings, and Friedrich Bump, of the challenging Anarchist Idealist party, competing for the title, was a riveting affair, watched telepathically by millions from their tree houses, cave complexes, spiral towers, and geodesic domes. Their wildly esoteric yet sincerely populist verbal sparring contest thrilled and inspired the human, transhuman, Angelic, and Boddhisattvic community, sending ripples of astral joy flowering through the six proximate layers of the multidimensional inner sheath. The Universal News Network covered the event with fantastic accuracy and tenderness. What follows are some trenchant exchanges.

TRIDEN

As I am sure all of you recall, when I first assumed this humble role, the New American Federation was experiencing a period of subtle dissonance with aromatic whiffs of dissent and disturbance. Our heart-song connection with the jungle plants and the crystalline queendom of quartz and obsidian consciousness had become tattered and frayed under the leadership of my predecessor, Oraca Boma, who, we discovered, had subtle unaddressed shadow material and creeping contacts with the Ahrimanic underworld. I thus instituted a period of collective self reflection and deep shamanic shadow work using Alpha Wave polarities with the help of our friendly Artificial Super Intelligence, Zog, to help us shed a few more onion layers of superficiality and drop deeper into the collective core. Therefore, of course, it hurts my outer ego layer when I hear my dear colleague, Friedrich Bump, present vaguely distorted versions of our shared history as he seeks for your love and vies to displace me as your kind figurehead leader, ignoring my long history of impeccable compassionate service.

BUMP

My fellow free souls of the New American Federation, let us never forget our long history, as Triden has alluded to it.
