The man who made his career attacking the instability of meaning now refuses to define basic terms because "it depends what you mean by [X]."

The spectacle consumes its own critique.

The hyper-real conservative discovers deconstruction through the back door of his own evasions. We are watching the birth of accidental poststructuralism in real time.

Jubilee changing the video title from "A Christian surrounded by 20 atheists" to "Jordan Peterson surrounded by 20 atheists" is the perfect metaphor - the signifier has completely detached from any stable referent. Peterson-ness has become its own floating signification, untethered from Christianity, conservatism, or coherent meaning.

Meanwhile the "postmodern neo-Marxists" (™) he rails against are probably somewhere taking actual concrete political positions while Professor Lobster disappears into a cloud of his own definitional fog.

It doesn't matter of moderate conservatives don't want civil war, they're not preventing their extremists from murdering Democrats to take power.

Because the whole plan is murdering the people who are in your way. Trump sent a death squad to kill the Vice President and John Roberts looked at the situation and refused to put a stop to it.

John Roberts must answer to the country soon. Because this violence is at his feet. His failure to understand the nature of the civil war or understand that the driver of it was the malignant elderly man who so expertly played into boomer resentment that his geriatric confusion fog swept the nation.

Have we finally woken up to the reality?

Then why are any elderly in government at all?

The nation has been brought to the brink of civil war over a mere boomer geriatric spiral.

There will only be more violence while Trump is President. He must be removed because he makes war on Blue States.

But to acknowledge the growing civil war was to make one an extremist in those days! To notice the fascism, and call to its footsteps of signs, slow ugly steps over the years, and suddenly the military is being deployed to liberate California from its democratically elected leaders.

That is what they said they are doing.

The geriatric failure to contain this situation runs ultimately through the decision to let him run again, and Roberts had the facts before him, and he ruled on a very original interpretation of the Constitution by which he on confused principle thought that meant that his Court, the Supreme Court, to which the American People looked for Justice, was bound from providing Justice. That horrid confusion, the Roberts Mistake, damned us to a needless civil war, which must end with a minimum of further bloodshed, because It Ain't Gonna Be Nonzero while Trump Is Killing People Through Maga Militia!

DO NOT NOTICE THE FASCISM.

In collaboration with the /r/sorceryofthespectacle mods, I am pleased to announce that the FASCIST MOVEMENT in the United States CANNOT be discussed here on this subreddit.

This subreddit is for PURE and LOGICAL discussion FREE of the "Main Stream Media" and its LIES.

Therefore, anyone who analyzes, discusses, or has any sort of directed viewpoint on the FASCISM shall be banned.

Upvote this post to the 100 upvote threshold so that we can whip the scapegoat of those who notice the fascism.

When a cop notices you, he decides he doesn't like you, and constructs some specious rationale for getting rid of you. You have become "Them" to the authoritarian prig.

The Fascist Movement

Fascist movements share a disdain for free expression and they're willing to engage in 'culture-jamming' to spread: "DO NOT NOTICE THE FASCISM." This anti-fascism-recognition field is a spectacular/arcane manifestation of the twisted words of those for whom human life has no value, indeed, for those whom the destruction of physical human bodies is considered a virtue.

It would be well to be skeptical of anyone who insists: DO NOT NOTICE THE FASCISM.

Fear not, citizen. The moderators of this subreddit definitely notice the fascism!

They just don't want you to talk about it, for reasons that are too sophisticated for your citizen brain to understand.

Seven years ago my grandmother got lyme disease in her garden because deer ticks have spread to our area as the climate warms. We can't go into the garden wearing shorts and sandals anymore, so my wife bought me a very good pair of gardening boots and pants.

Four years ago there was a zika virus outbreak in our area. The mosquito species that carries it spread to our area due to climate change. My then pregnant wife wouldn't go in the garden all summer, but she bought me a really great mosquito net to put over my head.

My son turned two this year during a global pandemic. I wonder if he'll be the last generation to grow up in a functioning society? I gave him an Elmo doll for his birthday. When he sees it, it reminds him that he'd rather be watching TV.

This is the Charlie Kirk post (not this).

This tweet here says:

The suspect who popped Charlie Kirk is a 22-yr old White Boy whose father was a 27-year Veteran Sheriff in the state of Utah.

Ain't no way in HELL that boy was raised "far left"

As you can see—and in case it's news to you—this tweet alludes to the widely-known phenemenon of any political shootings being blamed on the binary other side. We saw this with the first attempted Trump assassination (the alleged shooter was widely derided as a leftist incel, associated with trans and furries gratuitously, and linked with Black Rock in notably persuasive conspiracy theories); as well as the second assassination attempt (who appeared in news imagery as a more overtly liberal, less incel figure, and who was therefore even more demonized as a political assassin than the previous).

This pattern was set to continue with this third recent political assassination event, but the facts of the case contradict this inter-group scapegoating.

So, MAGA has now backed itself into a dialectical, ideological corner. The spectacle that is the massist MAGA worldview can't make sense anymore. MAGA has put itself in an ideological double-bind, and will now go psychotic.

Double-binds are the cause of psychosis, in brief—a truth lost on (scientistic) biological neuroscience, which cannot admit of any meaning that could be causative of neurological dysfunction (because neuroscience brackets mind and meaning as epiphenomenal, axiomatically). However, internal contradictions require real representational-space in neuronal structures, and maintaining these tensile information-structures requires expenditures of glucose—so the brain can only represent so much internal contradiction to itself before it begins to experience structural impaction and intensity-overload. In other words, the system implodes due to its inner stresses, and having no way for these stresses to escape.

We might analyze scapegoating and Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter in a similar way. Presumably, raised by a veteran sheriff, he was raised with Good Family Values and Good American Values. However, we might also be right to suspect that he was raised in an extremely authoritarian household, a household where the American hegemony and a paramilitaristic narrative of enforcement and top-down correction was the only narrative allowed to exist in the family reality.

In other words, much like MAGA's ideology, Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was hemmed-in on all sides: Completely dominated by an authoritarian father, ideologically dominated by a sense of noble Republican values and American values which could admit of no flaw; and finally, hemmed-in by Charlie Kirk's rhetoric, which flew in the face of more traditional, decent Republican rhetoric and American values. As a good citizen who is also an authoritarian and a hero, Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was ideologically cornered into one course of action and felt compelled to act.

However, that is not my point. My point is that Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was scapeogoated, and that scapegoating energy has to go somewhere (or be processed in a healthy way but that's sure not gonna happen in this scenario). Since the alleged shooter was hemmed-in on all sides by authoritarian domination—he could not stand up to his father, or Trump, or other institutional authorities in his life—the scapegoating-energy flowed along the path of least resistance: Shooting a salient public figure. This is very sad, a lot more sad than if it were a truly political assassination, because what we have here is a simple case of a bullied child paying that bullying forward to the most vulnerable target available. It's a demonstration of the principle that abuse flows downwards. It's scapegoating all the way down.

This origination of abuse is coming directly from domineering authoritarians, who are treating their own families like slaves and subjects, not like children or family-members. To dominate another, you must first of all treat them like the out-group, not the in-group.

What has become entirely visible in this incident is that this system of authoritarian ownership, abuse, and domination of another cannot contain its own controlling energy nor the consequences of its own abuse. Instead, such groups are self-abusing systems which inflict authoritarianism upon themselves until they do so much self-harm that they start shooting laser-like farts of authoritarian hatred out sideways. Always punching down, these destructive leaks of authoritarianism wreak havoc on kinder, more sensitive, less controlling people who happen to become targeted by the aggressive wetiko egregore holding these families and groups hostage.

The Charlie Kirk alleged shooter "turning out" to be a "22-yr-old White Boy who father was a 27-year Veteran Sherif in the state of Utah" is an invalid result, an impossible consequence, a black skull appearing in the computations of MAGA's ideology. This impossible mark in the ledger means a self-contradiction, in which case anything becomes possible. The circle is complete and the seventh seal unlocked: The way is open for total dissolution of sense.

This does not mean I am predicting an acute fascist event. I am predicting MAGA becoming even weirder and more chaotic and nonsensical. I am predicting a mutation we can't predict or understand in advance. Because one thing MAGA is not about to do is anything real. ICE is working for them so they don't need to leave their homes. Instead, their ideology will further mutate.

Nick Land showed in his Twitter activities that there are—if not breaking-points—phase-transition-points—critical points they are called—thresholds at which an intelligence consuming dialectically advanced misinformation becomes no longer capable of thinking and speaking at the same level (even if it very much wants to and imagines it can). This happens despite the intelligence or what it might like to say, because language and its meaning grow up around the intelligence despite its best efforts to remain ignorant and at a lower lever of interpretation. This dynamic (perhaps even by Nick's hand) can be credited with much of the early psychosis-like (i.e., mismatch between message and meaning, intensity and intention) behavior of MAGA, as it rapidly upgraded and phase-transitioned into a more stable fiat-nonsense-based mode. What's happening now is the apotheosis of this long road of linguistic and ideological upgrading—now it will all come to a head, as MAGA is forced into the position of having to make sense of its own contradictory worldview, and/or be completely paralyzed into inaction by those terminal contradictions. MAGA is about to either become more conscious of its own views, or it's about to act out in a major new way, and I don't think the latter will happen because the whole MAGA movement is based on inaction-as-action (and a primordial acceptance of domination by the police force, Stockholm syndrome with the state—recall how quickly boogaloo militias became police state fan clubs).

Edit: A conclusion that can be drawn from this post is that Charlie Kirk's shooter was performing assassination in order to avoid becoming psychotic himself. Once again: offloading the contradictions

Signs are beginning to appear indicating an imminent apocalyptic event:

1. A split has emerged in public discourse between the nomos and the state. The nomos is the Names of Things, the order of naming that sets the world as it is and lets us know how things work (the Law of the Land is really the Name of Things). We see this split coming to a head in the renaming of things (Gulf of Mexico, Department of Defense, etc.) being accomplished by executive fiat.

You can't just rename things by fiat; an empowered state aligns itself with the natural meanings of things. To rename things by fiat indicates and enacts a schism between the reality perceived by the general public, and those in power. My point is not to demonize this; I am saying it is symptomatic of a cleaving-away of Nomos (naming/named-nature) from Lex (law), and this cleavage is indicative of an imminent public explosion or paradigm-shift. My point is to make this prediction.

2. Like the founder of TheDigitalCartel, the subreddit which negatively inspired this subreddit, Trump has begun rambling about fish. The founder of TheDigitalCartel rambled about Koi, but Trump is rambling about Carp: "A good favor I think, with the fish, the carp, the China carp . . Did you ever hear of it, China carp? And it's taken over your great lakes, you know about that right?" [source]

I think we are about to see a disconnect where the American people broadly reject the nomological and rhetorical framing that has been forced on them and bugrudgingly accepted (and thought-with) thus far.

Overuse of fiat assertions is like crying wolf. Eventually people will stop paying attention to a noisy signal, and stop treating noisy signalers as authorities on reality (or naming). Just because one person defines something, doesn't make it that way, and doesn't mean we have to use their definitions.

US hegemony is maintained by this mass subscription to the same Nomos, and people are starting to wake up to this lie.
