you see the same story told here: two broken systems, two warring tribes, a destroyed community, and a mysterious figure from the outside (or Outside?) who plays off of their mimetics.

during the Cold War, mutually assured destruction was the real McCoy, and most of the world had to fucking sit there and basically hope that Washington and Moscow would get along, and not rip the world apart over fucking Vietnam, because honestly, who gives a shit about Vietnam. i mean i'm sure the Vietnames are wonderful people, but it wasn't worth Defcon 1 and neither was Cuba.

today it's Trump/Clinton, Red Team/Blue Team. all bullshit. it's all bullshit driven by money and mimetics. of course, we can go bananas and get triggered, but it's ultimately two battling systems that can't share and can't stop triggering each other either. we've seen this before. it usually ends, IRL, in calamity, bloodshed, and world-historical readjustments of power centers. in 1914 most of Europe figured WW1 would be over by Christmas. i'm guessing they didn't expect four years of trench warfare, a depression, Hitler, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust, the atomic bomb, the end of European domination, the rise of two superpowers, and fifty years of nuclear paranoia, capped off by a brief vision of US hyperpower and then an ungodly deluge of complete and fucking bewilderment that in the space of two generations is now basically unwinding five centuries of cultural legacy and inheritance. fucking Girard man. RG the Don. i would have thought absolutely none of these things without him and Uncle Nick.

anyways, Zen Acceleration Fuck Yeah. goes well with Space Taoism Fuck Yeah. we're piling up Fuck Yeahs in this thing a steady clip.
