Trapezoidal Revisionism


Don't let that little pyramid with the bright eye fool you. That's to draw your attention away from the real thing: the big trapezoid beneath it.

- A Traveling Carnival Worker


And since we're ripping off people who rip people off, I would imagine the trapezoid looks like this. With a few changes. The oligarch is more evenly split now and the "alt" of each side is strangling everything between independent and the polar extremes. Same idea though.



It doesn't matter where in the meraphorical trapezoid you reside, you are needed to keep the idea of the eye in place.

What is the eye?

Some would say "eye of providence", I will call it "The Abstract Master."

On the surface, it's some fearful allusion to evil vis a vis the illuminati trajectory. It is an esoteric symbol run wild with possible meanings looking to connect the dots to affirm said fear. And while that's definitely a side effect, said effects are subjective.

However, if you put the various boogeyman partially aside, the eye are the ideas that regulate society, like the idea of democracy itself and how that relates to a natural, almost default process.

The ability of everything beneath it to disagree at the same time it affirms is what keeps the structure in place. Though the respective "alts" on each side may look at each other with complete disdain, there's a large buffer of moderacy in between them that keeps each firmly within a single spectrum under a singular ideal.

Even those who think their democracy is invalid, tainted, or being systematically picked apart by the other end of the spectrum are still within it. What each side does is necessary to keep "the experiment" from falling apart. The constant reverberation between the poles keeps the structure standing. The poles go through extreme correction cycles, just like nature itself. This is an extreme correction cycle. And I'm not convinced it isn't designed to be allowed to happen naturally that way.

Ironically and counterintuitively, it's "divided we stand, united we fall."

At the same time, the psychological effect of that eye's symbolism resonates with a perpetual fear people seem to possess of a persistent antagonist keeping them in check. That could be considered a "distraction" (abstraction) to keep things self-perpetuating. Whether it be "The Evil Demiurge of LGBT Agenda corrupting children" or the "Wicked Christian doctrine keeping the poor children from their ideas of self-liberation", It's something perceived above or against. A distraction to keep everyone adhering to a singular framework. Hate withstanding.

This is how it recycles itself. The legalities will be fleshed out through law to refine the abstract ideals by which the spectrum is divided.

The entire "pyramid" represents a master architecture that seeks to cancel itself out. Tapering off into abraction and self-contained by that abstraction within. It's a balancing act that when left to its own devices always goes Lord of the Flies. This experiment called America harnesses that eventuality of contentious polarization in artificial society. It seeks to use it to perpetuate a form of cohesion that allows for people to hate each-other and still be united. In theory anyway.

But there's always the "most contentious issue". Which you need to directly comment on, because it's at the heart of this.

Unfortunately, that issue has each side using children as leverage. Battling ideas on who does more harm to their growing psyche, despite both being right simultaneously on a case to case basis. In some cases, it causes harm to repress identity. In some cases, it harms them more to put the idea in their head because children are so impressionable.

In any case, Florida is doing what is natural by balancing out the California mindset.

American democracy has only civil war crossing its survival, and it could go there. It would be a ridiculous schism to split over, but the transgender Helen of Troy may launch some ships yet.

No matter where we go and which way way it turns, its survival is contingent on the polarized opinions playing the check/balance game with each other.

To sequester an opinion by forced confirmity to an abstract ideal, which the left is doing more of, is VERY unnatural by restricting the right's naturally forming opposition. When this happens, just like Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park, division and disorder finds a way through chaos. The act of repression pushes it to the surface as an overbearing governance fuels resistance.

This is fated to pass as the most divisive issue, and either redefine or reinforce the balancing factions along the way.

I am not buying this is anything new under the Sun. Same old story. Even though pure hatred and battling ideas seeks to divide people, it inevitably recycles the spectrum they are in and redefines its self-regulating boundaries. That way, the next great divide can bubble up from the ooze once again.

As was planned all along. Controlling from top-down through things that go bottom-up.

And if anyone seeks to undermine and prohibit opposition, they will fall quick as an fascist.

Opinion subject to change.
