Notes On The MAGA Wars
He hath returned and vanquished all despite the threat of overwhelming lawfare. Yet now begins in earnest the fierce contest to define what exactly the Last Trump administration will stand for and what will it be its legacy.
Trumpism unwittingly and through organic unrest, leveraged postmodern mimetics online crashing into meatspace to vanquish the late and ailing media fiefdoms of the post-Cold War Administrative State. His uncanny charisma became a lightening rod not just for populist dissatisfaction from the dilapidated and impoverished slums of Middle America but also from within the Imperial elite from New Technocrats like Theil and Musk. Under Trumpian mimetics a MAGA working class coalesced around him, resonating with his promises to rescue Americans from corporate liberalism - mass migration cynically encouraged by traditional business elites and the insincere gutting of the country's workforce which was euphemistically called "free market economics". Sovereignty was demanded to return within the physical borders of the country and to no longer be diffused across the various Imperial nodes and vassals that may indeed benefit the project of Global American Empire but only brought ruin to the average American.
Coming late to the party is the class of New Technocrats from Surveillance Valley who have a long culture of funding both sides and ensuring multiple parallel networks of influence across partisan divides. Lately, they have become disillusioned with the incumbent elites but for entirely different reasons. The likes of Musk and Theil do not believe in the redundancy of American Empire nor do they necessarily disagree with the hyperfinancialism of the American Dollar that has left average citizens poorer, unable to afford a housing but nonetheless expanded the footprint of GAE. They simply believe the incumbent elites are no longer fit to lead, no longer in possession of the tools to guarantee American Imperial supremacy and believe they are now owed the keys to the Empire.
Amidst all of this are the various online meme factions that grew around the counter-cultural appeal of the explosive Banon-variety of Trumpian populism. An anthropology of both cyber and meatspace Trumpism is required and necessary to understand the formations of the Cybernetic State to come in the 21st century. The shattering of the divide between what is "Online" and what is "Real Life".
Beyond gross dissatisfaction around the performance of the Transatlanticist elites and their management of GAE there is little uniting these various trends and networks that have coalesced around Trump.
To take one small example, the MAGA working class are inherently bioconservative, skeptical of scientism, weary of hyper-intellectual utopianism and the optimistic faith in rule by intellectuals. The Surveillance Valley MegaCorp believe the exact opposite - mystical transhumanism, the complete disruption and breakup of biological form, unabashed faith in science and believe in rule by CEO/Founder.
The MAGA working class still cling on to the myths of Old American Republicanism - the mythology around the self-sovereign libertarian ethic of the Founders but the SV MegaCorp believes in Neo-China and it's clearly reflected in their choice of business model- free use in exchange for personal data - "free products" under the Panopticon. Under the SV MegaCorp you will be a permanent data serf, unable to own anything, a constant "subscriber" and must bow to miracles of Big Pharma 2.0. This is just one example of a clear conflict, there will be other areas and fields where there will be open warfare within the new Trump administration.
For the American Muslim, now is a time of chaos but also opportunity. Abandon Islamoleftism, embrace mercenary deal making, positioning, establishing supra-electoral party networks of influence and engage wholeheartedly with the various Trumpist factions for cold self-interest. For the next few years inshallah, enjoy the MAGA Wars.
And truly God knows best
