Interesting meditation today... you’re right, I think, about the impulse to concretize in the American psyche. Which is one lense for viewing conspiracy. It’s a kind of literalism that betrays a deficit in the perception of the distal cause. This is a rich area to mine.

I loved this one -- really thought-provoking.

What's the deal with Bowie & fascism? That's new to me.

It's a great post, you put into words many thoughts I've had recently, thank you. I didn't connect far right to gnosticism though, because its other elements were much more important for me, but now I see how this uno reverse card can be used to radicalise someone.

So feel free to make this kind of digression, I enjoy it.
