The recent publication of a close-up of Lena Dunham's naked bottom as season's greeting from America's new sweetheart prompts a moment of psychoanalysis. Fundamentally, Dunham's repulsive presence is political propaganda. Totalitarianism maintains its control through fear and imposition of the irrational, inhumane, and self-destructive mental condition generally termed dissociation. The vulgarity and obscenity of many female comics play a role in inducing that malleable mental state in people who have fallen into attenuated connections with God and conscience. Dunham leads the pack of the propagandistas of the disgusting.
