Narrative Warfare: There Is No Return To Fresh Prince, Only To Its Skinsuit

Following up from last week, the based Boer known as The Aristocratic Utensil sums up the present state of the dispute between Academic Agent and Auron MacIntyre.

My take is simple: we are one week, nearly two, out from Trump winning and the Globohomo Thralls have not come to a consensus yet.

In the meantime, there are pockets of Thralls concentrated on immediate threats to their positions and privledges and not to the wider consensus-building effort. Once those immediate concerns are sorted, then we'll find out which way this goes.

I am skeptical of AA's Power-As-Primary position because being Le Donor Class means nothing without teeth, like a judiciary unable to enforces its rulings. This is why I find the useful labeling to be Merchants and Golems; the Merchants are the Power, while the Golems are the Ideology.

The problem with Golems is that they tend to run amok if not strictly controlled, something Merchants (not being Warriors, and thus lacking the character required to do so) turn out to be bad at doing as they consider it bitchwork. (They love themselves some automation for that reason.) The problem with the Merchants is that when they do yank on those very chains, they over-react and thus lay the groundwork for the next Golem revolt.

"So what are they going to do?"

What they did when the previous push flamed out: go back underground. Keep it quiet. Keep it out of the public eye. Bide their time.

"Be kind" is the code phrase for "keep it on the down-low".

This is not putting the Woke away; this is fallback to a prepared secondary position, rally there, and then come back stronger to retake lost ground and push further anew.

It's not over. Auron will, ultimately, win this bet because he's read the Death Cult right. There is no return to Fresh Prince. There is only the Death Cult using it as a skinsuit to try again.
