Left and Right is fake, but not because of the upper classes trying to control you, it’s because manmade ideological binary systems will always be herding and organizational methods built upon association and trend, not shared reality. Just by their form, regardless of intention or projection of (unreliable, ever-changing) meanings.
Concept of Right and Left is purely manmade ether material, meaning, it is not a “shared arena”, not physical, not timeless, and only as relevant as we make them. It’s tool and weapon, and absolutely Godless. Like any art or God, left & right has become a garden sculpture of steady daily contemplation of the masses, yet, the material itself is so shallow and impossible to trust. It’s like staring into a grease puddle in a garage.
Then there are those who use Left and Right as personality traits , which is always hard to watch, I don’t know how people get to that point, how you can trust a system like that to express yourself. Madness. What is left and right for other than campaigning, really ? Yelling at a crowd to do the wave? Left, right, left, right. They’re mere directions that have been projected into for decades, morphing idols, their meaning constantly shifting.
I’m under the belief that everything we endure is a reflection of our confusion with form and spirit, which is our daily unending condition, the body-parts-structures of us we can’t control - bodily functions, appearances, disease, injury, pain, maintenance, and this machine we live in that will eventually “kill us” - our daily reckoning with the true dictator , body and nature — and then we have the undeniable presence of the spirit, too, who holds our dreams and wishes, our yearnings and love, our imagination and visions,… Many have made Left and Right a system in which to fuss and process this human condition, losing *so much* in the process. Left and Right is bad poetry. It’s combat and marching rules mistaken for identity.
Left and right exists for slogan-pilled idiots that work as foot soldiers for someone else’s cause, someone else’s propaganda, someone’s wild gesturing. Meanwhile political shifts and elections truly seem to occur beyond Left and Right , even if the container is labeled as such and many worship the label, even if the country has shaped a system in this way that every single day seems more ancient and juvenile and caveman-like, even if we must be forced to listen to the world through that partisan instrument ——- it seems we truly live moment-to-moment, and shifts in culture come from needs to feel both safe (body) and charmed (spirit), and any elected official, no matter what end of the spectrum they claimed, has been simply that, at the right time, for the right people, which is to say, during the proper media landscape, and the proper collective state. This condition will always be beyond the partisan binary in which it lands in to be dissected in the lab by the partisan-pilled ones.
Left and right is just measurements, invented once upon a time to try and understand. But it’s never the thing itself, or the understanding, and, these days, it’s never been more incoherent and useless; a dull knife.
