We’re living in a time when politics has become pornographic…pure stimulus, pure confirmation bias, pure ideology. The postmodern conservative doesn’t seek truth; they seek arousal through outrage. Their politics perform themselves before they think themselves, cycling through prepackaged narratives that gratify resentment the way pornography gratifies fantasy or narrative…mechanically, repetitively, without reflection.

The Charlie Kirk incident made this visible…the narrative was already written before the facts even emerged. The algorithmic priests of the right sermonized their version of reality…identity reaffirmed, outrage consumed, truth irrelevant.

What defines postmodern conservatism? It isn’t coherence but performance…it’s fragmented pastiche identities held together by resentment and disavowal. They know it’s false but act as if it’s true. Their victimhood is the last refuge of meaning in a world hollowed out by capitalism and digital simulation. When truth becomes unbearable, narrative becomes narcotic. Postmodern conservatism is that addiction…the refusal to wake up from the simulated narrative they’ve been fed with algorithms.

Stay curious.

I wrote an essay recently on this…but i realized there’s more to say.

Anyway…i try to go deeper in connecting this idea of desire machines, status quo propaganda, and forms of radicalization.

And Twitter happens to be a great case study.

Stay curious.

I listened to his Turning Point speech…and I have some thoughts.

So…talking about Tucker Carlson and President Trump. I think Tucker is going to be the follow up guy to Trump. To put it simply.

Also…Tucker is better at playing politics…

Anway…in this one I talk about how they both weaponize aesthetics and catharsis in order to replace real potential political solutions (I’m speaking into the void on this one). They don’t want to solve systemic problems…their politics run on spectacle, not substance.

All i’m saying…think about what really gets the “elites” scared? It’s always someone who represents real change. Who often represents real change? Someone that is backed by the average voter AND has proposed solutions for systemic change.

Stay curious.
