@MarkHoltom The real power is controlling the narrative.
The peak of power is not being able to tell others what to do.
It is making them want to do the things you want without you even telling them so.

When the value of science, the humanities, and legal precedent all collapse, cuz nobody believes in anything anymore, we’ve gone fully medieval post-modern.
You NEVER go the full medieval post-modern.
Postmodern geometry meets postal bureaucracy. 
ポストモダンな形状と郵便業務が交差する場所
Framed by sculptural concrete brackets, the whole structure reaches skyward with the kind of confidence only money and glossy optimism could buy. 
予算は気にしない、合理性もほどほどに。高く、美しく、ちょっと過剰。 
Nahum Gelber Law Library, Montreal, Canada.
For #FensterFreitag, the iconic triangular window high up on the facade of the McGill university law library building opens up to the Alan Aylesworth Macnaughton reading room. This #postmodern structure was designed by Dan S. Hanganu and opened in 1998.

@jeffjarvis Yes. This is the #postmodern nazism: Just claim that you are not a nazi while being a nazi. What’s real, anyway?

“Illuminated by lightning flashes of descriptive brilliance, Brown’s prose evokes melodrama, Greek tragedy and postmodern alienation…”

“To pick up a pen is to place oneself outside the community in the act of being self-conscious about it. As Burns discovered, it is not really possible to write about community and remain uncompromised within it.”
—read Dorothy McMillan’s essay “Rural Realism”, on George Douglas Brown’s THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS

Remember folks, this is not the fascism of your great grandfather, this #postmodern #fascism
Denial of doing fascism while letting you know and rubbing it in your face is integral. Trolling and manufacturing reality in a way which is designed to trap you while trying to dispute their camoflage is by design.
Projection of power & total domination of the script has not changed though. Neither has the victimhood rhetoric.
This is a watershed moment. The apologists are clear, like in the 1930’s.
@SnowshadowII A liar need not be considerate of the truth
It’s going to the same direction as Trumpian politics: You know it’s not real, but it’s so enjoyably pushing all the buttons you want to be pushed (racism, homophobia, whatever your poison), and because ”it’s not real” it’s not harmful those buttons get pushed, so you go along and even pay money for it
The #postmodern nightmare society is here: First it’s all a WWF wrestling show, eveywhere. But you can’t tell where it ends!
One word #kayfabe : Acknowledging the staged, scripted nature of (US) professional #wrestling
This is what unlocks the Trump presidencies: His relationship with the audience that acknowledges kayfabe, and are now enjoying the show in #uspolitics
This #audience is not moved by ”Trump is a threat” or ”Trump is evil”, that just means the kayfabe is working
The script can be flipped, realities rolled-in at any time to become a part of it. The most #postmodern show

Why the western world is falling for lies right now, is because we don’t know our #postmodern theory.
If we did, we would have understood politics is about narrative, not facts.
We would have understood our own privileged position thinking politics is about that.
We would have understood limited choices of the poor or poorly educated make them appear stupid from the point of view of the more privileged.
This is also woke. Apply it to yourself. The #altright sure does!
Es war für mich heute eine sehr beindruckende Vorstellung: Lucinda Childs Dance Company "Dance".
Eigentlich 3 alte Stücke heute in einer Überlagerung der originalen SW-Filme aus den frühen 70er Jahren mit synchronen Lifetänzer:innen auf der großen Bühne des Haus der Berliner Festpiele. Auch die Lifeperformance wirkte durch eine Gaze wie ein Film und es war ein spannendes Spiel mit Maßstäben zwischen den Originalfilmaufnahmen und dem Tanz im Jetzt, die sich fließend durchmischten. Dazu die treibende repetitive Musik von Philip #Glass, die das Publikum wie in Trance eines LSD-Trips aus der Zeit des Entstehens versetzte.
Ich war erstaunt, wie gut Film und #Tanz hier zusammengingen. Am Sa. will ich zu einer weiteren Aufführung dieser Ikone des #postmodern #dance gehen, wo die 84jährige selber tanzen wird. Ich freue mich sehr, denn die heutige #Performance machte Lust auf mehr.
