Of Script and Scriptwriters

Uncle John has his doubts about what appears to be the inorganic second coming of the God-Emperor:

One thing I’ve been observing for a while is what I call The Script. The overwhelming sense that current mainstream culture and politics are not organic. That they’re being directed in some way to deliver a predetermined outcome. This was something I laid a marker on in a private social media venue some time back. I wrote a post on it here a bit ago, wanting to state it publicly. The tl,dr is that some closing Q narrative beats are playing out, only in a forced, not organic way. And all the high weirdness that has gone on since the “inauguration” makes the unreal show aspect inescapable. The premise then was that the people have to see how bad it will get. They’re too NPC and the enemy too entrenched for an informed change.

Note it’s all narrative level. “The patriots” don’t want a real, off the chain nationalist uprising. Both “sides” are still invested in the illusion that the system is real. Following up the first post, the multiple faction within the House of Lies model seems more likely. Things did circle the bowl, but there was no grassroots cry for Trump. What happened is the infosphere changed enough to snuff the TDS tsunami and pulse the NPCs into MAGA. It’s actually been really interesting in a “so that’s how it happens” way. It’s one thing to see where a pattern goes logically and another to experience it unfold. The sudden repackaging of consummate machine man Musk as free-speech-but-not-really fat Tony Stark master futurist is a great example1 There’s clearly opposition. But one faction appears to have wrested the wheel from the clown wing.

Allegedly.

The plan is presumably to sweep in, House of Lies intact, and try a civnat reboot. This is preferable in the short term for quality of life and future-proofing. There are X-factors. The clowns are brazenly criminal. Are they sufficiently threatened for kinetic disruption? There are a lot of destabilization assets around the country. Then there are the structural tissues of the House of Lies – financialization, information control, the surveillance state, etc. How deep does factional conflict run? What is really at stake? It should go without saying that I have no idea who or what is driving The Script, let alone how or why. The opening of this post shows how much interest I have in that. It’s just that the inorganic pattern of events – with their loosely Biblical beats – leading to Trump’s inevitable return has looked obvious for a while.

It’s quite obvious that Trump is the primary tool of the sane faction of Clown World that wants to fix the system. He’s not a nationalist, he’s a civic nationalist who still thinks in terms of 1950s America being the greatest and most free nation in history; making America great again means restoring what used to be the balance between Americans and immigrants.

But just as the imperial restorationists of the Meiji era wound up being deeply disappointed by the new Japanese government’s decision to open to the world rather than return to the primordial perfection of the Emperor Jimmu’s reign – they were infuriated to see how their campaign for National Learning intended to cleanse Shinto of its various Buddhist intertwinements wound up with Shinto being fused with Enlightenment ideals – the would-be US restorationists will find that it’s not possible to go back in time.

To save America, both the neo-liberal rules-based world order and the USA must be allowed to collapse and fail. And I doubt there is a script for that, at least, not outside of Moscow and Beijing.
