Trumpty Dumpty sat on his wall.
Deep state ‘pariah’ to soothe rich and poor.
Iron Man suit, with no-body in it.
Masses are rescued, from demons that spin it.
Various people have been asking me lately: “Whats your ‘hot-take’ on the Trump landslide win Trevor…?”
Well… First and foremost, I’d like to congratulate the almighty Blackrock Corporation, and their umbrella’d multinational affiliates, for putting up a really really good fight against itself in this election. The biggest, therefore best man won I guess huh…?
I don’t personally care too much for reductionistic hot-takes.
They have played a direct role in fragmenting and polarising the world’s media landscape.
Hot-takes on literally any subject nowadays are kinda just astroturfing of complex, territorial, bureaucratic, predatory and extractive systems.
I rarely ever come across concise hot takes about the actual raw drives and extraction processes (behind the masks) of this world system, in any public media context.
I guess it’s kind of quietly taboo, and often incurs wounded people’s wrath if not avoidant eye glazed dismissal.
To cope with this societal media landscape, ‘Kulture’ has become some kind of aggressively fundamentalist psychotherapy religion of sorts.
Covertly and therapeutically auto-rationalising why we must never look this system in the face, and therefore (of course) ourselves. This for me is the literal essence of what ancestral and enculturated self entitlement is.
The problem.
As personally helpful as some of them can be, perhaps we all too often defer to self obsessive psychological maps, to develop ourselves in order to literally avoid ourselves. These maps are as true as they are false.
Helping us avoid collectively doing or catalysing anything of actualised consensus about this looping, glitching, historically militarised economic system, which noone really likes, but cannot, will not, imagineer anything else.
Just, keep, going, calming, healing, quietly hyperventilating and striving.
Lets keep blaming the individual, the bad guy, the mass marketed antagonist, and protagonist.
Further internalising our own isolating individualism.
For me, Trump, Kamala, Biden, whoever, are largely astroturfed uniparty curtains, branding and veiling the real game (theory).
I’m not personally interested in the nationalist branding that is ‘MAGA / Trump’.
That’s what the mass (anti)social media system ‘virally’ incentivises us to fixate on.
The image, the spectacle. Whilst (often anglo and zionist) warhawks with the usual agency~military~corporate ties, are once again appointed to the ‘revolutionary’ cabinets, underneath a veneer of stock standard double speak.
Nowadays we have infinite yet censored ‘newstainment’ feeds, multi-million text, image and soundbyte invocations a minute, psychicly baraging and further entrenching:
1. ‘Consumer Apathetic Docility’. (Entitlement).
2. ‘Double Binded Beliefs’. (Fear)
3. Literal ‘Idol Worship’. (Manipulation)
Is this a kind of loose sociological triad; △ of spectacle driven propagandism, ‘spinning’ within and without us in this world…?
I’m much more interested in the psychophysical drives, that keep us fixating on ‘the saviour’, ‘the pariah’, ‘the incessant spin’ for soooooo long now.
These libidinal and/or death drives, of our suppressed and schismed humanity.
Leviathans feeding hungrily underneath the all too predictably armoured triad of △ ‘Victim’, ‘Perpetrator’ and ‘Rescuer’… welded and fused character armour, forming a marvel hero ‘Iron man suit’, with no actual feeling body in it. Bought and sold △ ‘Content’, ‘Addiction’ and ‘Distraction’.
This Revolving republican / democrat uniparty war machine, is always politically ‘spinning’ antagonistically, bioelectrically generating and harvesting unfathomable amounts of psychic~somatic energy.
Literal ‘trauma charge’ generated like a turbine, spinning in a triad of △ ‘Gender’, ‘Race’ and ‘Class’… Into capital, power and profit.
Business as usual.
Antagonistic media manufactured identarianism is very big business, and keeps the masses very occupied (spun out and self obsessed) whilst the revolving door of political institutions and corporations continue generating wealth for the upper eschalons at everyone elses expense.
Relative to ‘Race’ and ‘Gender’… It’s all quiet on the media saturated western front though, with respect to ‘Class’ (warfare)…
“Purrrfect” said the billionaire…
For me, and others, Trump is a jungian shadow mirror, a kind of algorithm rewriting itself on the fly.
Lies become truths, truths become lies.
‘Cultural programming’ codes recursively (loop back on themself) in runaway mode, generating capital.
Corporations seem to be surfing these runaway waves toward some kind of synthetic intelligence ‘singularity’.
A dehumanising intelligence explosion birthed out of the addictive simulation of human qualities and status anxious desires.
As computer programmers will say: “Garbage in, Garbage out…”
If you are desensitised (therefore hypnotised), the garbage reaps what it sews, and smells like shit, regardless of our political ideologies.
I’m only really interested in the collective tribalistic drives that generate the distraction and destructive reactivity to the spectacle of trumpty dumpty, or any multi billion dollar warhawk puppet like Biden / Harris, who are scripted, bought and sold.
Especially the seemingly ever increasing internalised american exceptionalism that drives much of this hot-take, horror newstainment circus.
Narcissistic traits accelerating beyond the speed of our nervous systems, due to 24/7 black mirror interactivity in a positive feedback loop, that just seems to only ever grow through people only seeing what they want to see.
Most of the whole world religiously fixates on American Emporers and their aromatic musky Roman Generals.
Thankyou Hollywood.
The internalised and mass marketed beLIEf that “The destiny of the world depends on △ X election / X populist emporer / X SuperPower”…
For me, this belief is ‘hypernormalised’ bullshit, and a mirror of our own entrenched anti-communal and ecologically bereft apathy.
It’s the constantly marketed, repeated, regurgitated BELIEF that it’s true, which perpetuates this incessant merry go spiral downward in human awareness, agency and in turn sovereignty.
Shiny happy fits of self entitled rage are being normalised, cos it’s profitable.
Unlike a lot of decoloniser / environmental activist friends.
I see zero positive benefit in shaming, shunning, labelling and humiliating people, mostly so I can personally avoid what I’m really feeling, refusing to transmute, under all my weaponised projections and kneejerk dismissive elitism.
But I do however track individuals and groups energetics and nervous systems.
I also frequently ask questions whilst I track, holding people to account, and endeavouring to rebuild awareness in this world of mass marketed simulations and simulacra.
How much is our own globalised media frenzied addictions and fixations, at our own local, relational, experiential, environmental and political expense…?
If we’re uncomfortably honest, what do we actually worship with our literal space, time, energy, attention and money?
How much have we rendered ourselves impotent and psycho-politically docile by craving Iron Man to rescue us, so we can more or less just get on with our special lives ?
Is this media entranced society a collectively (un)conscious refusal to situate, therefore regenerate ourselves and eachother, with our own space, time, energy, attention, and money…?
Whilst this often humorous yet horrifying shit show all loops on repeat, regardless of who is in power, corporations and their puppet ‘govern-mentis’ simply continue to insert themselves between all our relations, capturing and harvesting our collective life force, our attention.
Our unconscious mindscape is ever more deeply and rapidly becoming ‘real estate’ to ‘colonise’ and ‘occupy’.
In ways, and scales, (as is clear to me), the majority have no real idea of, let alone curiosity about.
‘Obama’… (darker colour plated Iron Man Suit) basically nullified the anti-war movement overnight back in 2009.
Is this a collectively projected and internalised kind of inverted racism…?
‘Thank God’ we can all simply sign out now, because someone from a historically oppressed minority, (from a country I’m not even living in) is expected to rescue the rest of us from our own fear, let alone our own infrastructural quagmires and self entitlement…?
The world wide webbed anti-war movement is only beginning to gain traction again for the obvious abhorrent ethnic cleansing and profit driven canon fodder reasons.
Shall we just continue “Making America Globalised Again” 12.0 regardless…?
In ‘apparent’ tension with China this time? Russia? Brics?
Whilst its business as usual in Africa?
A multi-polar power triad △ , to even the ridiculous playing field of a dehumanising game of scarcity economics…?
At the vast majority of earths peoples psychologies and ecologies expense?
I stopped caring how ‘progressive’ and (self) righteous anyone pseudo-virtuously signals they are a long time ago.
If one has desensitised, ideological character armour (fascist neurobiology), then in my experience of body~minds and their cultural ‘algorithms’, they simply are ‘the big bad system’, which they ‘virtuously’ signal to resist, from their unexamined, therefore entirely postured and manufactured ethical highground.
The vast majority of righteous virtue signalling is just grist for the sales funnel mill now.
It makes very little substance or difference to anything.
Which helps select people feel better about themselves, but at what cost?
Content and attention, captured by corporations, as Morloch (kapitalismo, wetiko etc) cunningly continues to find ever refined ways to convert our anxiety into yet, more, capital…
It’s as waistful and destructive, as it is creatively efficient and anti-fragile.
I’m actually in awe of it sometimes, along with the industrialised character armour that drives it.
It has a kind of catastrophic ghostly genius in its violence, the same way an atomic bomb explosion evokes the beauty of physics.
Anyway, in my signalled (yet tracked) opinion, If one defaults to absolutist or reductionistic slogans and orientations about politics, they’re very often just dehumanising projections of their own suppressed pain, onto a starlink connected empty Iron Man Suit.
Let alone the pain we tribally project by dehumanising and demonising groups, colours and creeds that vote for or against these suits.
We’re all too often just unconsciously reinforcing the armouring of the suit on the podium, whom is speaking mostly hot air, but with routinely calculated and exploited collective fears, feelings, zeitgeists and painful half truths.
As a matter of cyclic routine, the marvel hero iron (wo)men, are always extending some kind of olive branch, compensatory solutions for giant problems (which their machine of course created).
An unspoken ‘peace offering’ to subdue the victimised, atomising masses, to believe they are participating in a Demo©®acy™.
Healthier food ?
A less murderous and corrupt medical industrial complex ?
Trump may very well be speaking truth that the US / NATO war machine won’t start any new wars, this doesn’t mean “another country” won’t… Just ask the C1A and their economic hitmen that have one way or another, totally screwed at least 90 countries over since the 50’s “not starting wars”.
With notable and unfortunate exception to sorcery, sophisticated pharmacological use and consciousness exploration. Western kulture has seemingly been veering leftward for 2000 years.
Marching, limping, with a capped knee, 3 steps leftward, 2 steps right, like forever.
Many believe this iteration of western civilisations march peaked in 1972, with a plethora of indicative trendlines going downwards or upwards into a kind of loosely left leaning decadence consistently ever since.
We’re collectively operating on hypervigilant, militarised, parasitic, territorial algorithms from classical antiquity times, when life was a very literal hell of a lot harder, and a lot more painful, where militarised competition for resources, even for middle classes, was ‘plagued’, violent and fierce.
All the same, I imagine Aristotle might fall quickly into an hyperaroused psychosis, if he was somehow exposed to todays 5th generation information warfare heaven and hellscape.
In fact, (sidenote) I think if my 25 year old self were to suddenly find himself in my current 50 year old self…
My 25 year old self would almost certainly schism and have a brain aneurysm.
So trumpty for me, is on the surface, an immensely successful neo-reactionary social media influencer operation.
The neurotic masses seem to crave his obscene charisma because it is a little more honest and middle fingered in its apparently liberating appearance, and its feudalist and eco-psychologically destructive tendencies.
The scruffier of ‘two weevils’
A little less of the cardboard cut-out, often sociopathic ‘dignified statesman’, that I’ve watched soooo many high IQ people, escape into a parentally calming illusion of fatherly safety with.
An Iron Man shit stirring presentation, that resonantly speaks to the ever blurring working and consumer classes, which ‘the left’ as far as I can generally tell, demanded to conform, or be cancelled.
Corporations all too easily hijacking the plights of various minorities and amplifying identatarian self obsession, Instead of collective well being and duty to assistance.
Not a very effective, let alone ultimately self eliminating political strategy in the long term.
I’ve tracked with my own consciousness, the stimulus and response patterns to all this stuff phenomenologically in thousands of peoples body(minds) across the entire political spectrum for many years now.
Regardless of our ideologies and narratives, this ‘cathedral of computation’ is co-opting and sucking our body~minds into itself.
The world is transmutating.
Like how a casino and corrupt politicians increasingly suck the money out of a city or society enduring a cost of living crisis. It matters not what the branding or face of it is. It happens regardless.
Granted, Trump branding publically claimed it will not introduce a very short digital leashed Central Bank Digital (surveillance) Currency Globally.
Yet with AI as the spearhead, corporate and state players are collectively and competitively attempting to centralise and control the whole world wide webbed shebang regardless, with surveillance systems most do not even begin to comprehend, let alone take any curiosity or interest in.
We must be overwhelmed, we’re not interested in the mechanics of the system that we depend on and perpetuate.
Shall we respond ‘accordingly’ or ‘discordingly’ or ‘alchemically’ …?
With ‘Love’ ? Intrinsically active intersubjective relationality…?
Or ‘Hate’ ? Industrialised addiction patterned dissociation ?
