the émigré Canadians' brawl: filth creeps back — the film-scholar's experialist critique

quote

Fans do not begin to keep it all in the Great Convexity. It creeps back in. What goes around, it comes back around. This your nation refuses to learn. It will keep creeping back in. You cannot give away your filth and prevent all creepage, no?

Context

The prosthetic émigré film-scholar states the theme's physical refutation of experialism: "Fans do not begin to keep it all in the Great Convexity. It creeps back in... You cannot give away your filth and prevent all creepage." The ATHSCME border-fans cannot hold the waste; the gift returns. And his witness is the Charles River, "when your Charles was café with cream. Look now at it. It is the blue river" — the toxin-blued water proof that "filth by its very nature it is a thing that is creeping always back." Experialism's founding premise (that you can export your waste and be rid of it) fails on contact with physics, narrated by a Canadian who has watched it fail.
