This short-story about pedestrian vigilantism as it relates to modern age consumerism cynicism was inspired by the modernism-crusade 'armchair warrior' film The Boondock Saints (a poetic if eccentric allegorical treatise on the everyday Utopianism dormant but eruptive in urban American males today).

It's interesting how modern pro-media 'pedestrian storytelling' stands in contrast to Generation X's focus on the sort of network-suspiciousness perhaps exemplified in the film-turbulence Natural Born Killers copycat crime controversy of the 1990s.

Is this new kind of 'consumer optimism' (e.g., Wal-Mart) remind us of Orwellian omens?

I can't decide if it's suddenly 'alright' to sound boring...that must be a Machine-Age miracle!

Tom Cruise, the world's most popular 'celebrity' and Hollywood (USA) movie star decided to peruse the Internet for posts about vigilante-wannabes after making his conviction-adventure film The Last Samurai. Cruise found the posts of an idealistic Ivy League graduate (Yale University) named Ajay Satan who presented pictures of himself dressed in radical, pro-anarchy costumes/outfits designed to draw attention to pro-populism politics issues such as Belfast IRA, welfare for American immigrants, and the Human Genome Project. Cruise liked Ajay's art and politics-philosophy.

Cruise and Ajay connected online and decided to hype the pedestrian vigilance daydream film The Boondock Saints, which they felt was really a treatise about democracy rebelliousness pent up in the labor-frustrated middle-class post-college graduate age backet in the USA. Cruise and Ajay referred to themselves as The Boston Angels, since they embraced populism rhetorics and pedestrian academics exemplified arguably best in intellectual American cities such as Boston, Massachusetts.

The Boston Angels sent an anonymous screenplay to a Hollywood movie studio about a duo of American citizens, one a movie star and the other an Internet-blogging 'pedestrian philosopher' and wanted it made as a modernized rendition of The Prince and the Pauper. Roman Polanski picked up the script and converted it into a film called Lantern/Arrow (about 'complicated patriotism' exhibited in modern American citizens who resemble comic book cartoon superheroes who exhibit pure idealism), which drew the attention of Donald Trump, Jr. who was secretly planning a pro-populism presidential campaign to follow in his father's footsteps. Trump, Jr. planned to use the Boston Angels' rhetorics-screenplay (and adapted film!) to hype 'anti-Machiavellian populism politics.'

This thread is about vigilantism daydreams in America, prompted by a natural confluence (e.g., immigration) related paranoia about civics turbulence, something that the capitalism-subjective Trump Administration will surely have to deal with in this 'leprechaun-consumerism' era (e.g., Burger King, eTrade, Wall Street, Facebook, European Union, etc.).

I'm writing this to make myself feel better about the fact that we've elected a casino-owner as our American President.

Do I sound idealistic or apologetic?

When Hal was a little kid, he played with his granny's green mortar-and-pestle set, grinding up the color-changed autumn leaves near his home in Connecticut. When Hal grew up, he became a staunch fan of TrumpUSA, Starbucks, Green Acres reruns, and televised Olympic Games. Hal was a real 'consumerism optimist,' and when he became America's favorite vigilante, Green Lantern, he became Trump's trusted ally and friend. President Trump even sent Green Lantern on a special mission to investigate industrialization-related toxic waste in Moscow.

Green Lantern arrived in Moscow and discovered an unholy Russian mafia underground deeply involved in a metropolitan toxic waste profit-scheme, and this was in a time when global warming had become a serious sociopolitical (and cultural!) issue. Green Lantern was not dismayed and promptly dismantled the mafia scheme and reported the findings to the EPA in the USA, and the Trump Administration took steps to work with the Russian government after helping it deal with the rebellious Chechnyans once-and-for-all. Green Lantern (Hal) remembered his magical childhood and playing with his granny's green mortar-and-pestle.

Hal decided to post pictures of himself as a young boy in a green school uniform next to a drawing he made of a mischievous and affable pro-Christmas elf named Endymion. Hal posted all of this on the Internet site World Discussion Forum (a coincidentally bright-green colored site), and he got great responses and told his readers, "Green Lantern is delighted you like the pro-consumerism elf Endymion who would want you to know that the best way to endorse/cheer 'TrumpUSA' is to support the industrialization-conscious EPA!" Hal won the Nobel Prize, and President Trump was compelled to become more conscious and active and environmentalism-related politics.
