Americanism

Subject: Re: Americanism Thu Sep 05, 2024 11:34 am

An understanding of the Empire of Lies begins with speaking its language...not English, but American.
In other words, deciphering its codes.

Quote :: Basic tenants of Americanism, shaping its ideal citizen Homo Americanus:
1] Open-Markets: free-flow of goods & services, i.e., globalism. All is reduced to a product to be sold and purchased on the markets, including identity, gender, love, culture, etc.; no divisive boundaries will be tolerated, because they are bad for business.

2] Open Borders: free-flow of human resources – an end of ethnicity and nationalism. Humans are another product and service to be sold and purchased on the open markets – modern wage slavery. Nothing to prevent mixing and synthesizing, i.e., diluting, disarming.

3] Individualism: ego-centered. Promoting and prescribing a future man entirely void of a past exceeding the moment of his birth, i.e., lacking a genetically inherited identity – nature. Man is presented as a tabula rasa; entirely a product of nurturing – socioeconomically determined; a resource, a product of ongoing socioeconomic supply/demand dynamics, entirely malleable (fabricated); subjective and subjected to the effects of intersubjective socioeconomic environments, i.e., a modern civilization with no dominant culture. Individuals judged exclusively by their performances within this supply/demand market dynamic, viz., consuming/producing; measured monetarily, via their marketability, popularity, etc.; a man’s utility, marketability, determining his market-value (appreciation).

4] Messianism: ‘freedom,’ replacing salvation myths, via a messianic icon/idol which has been abstracted into credit codes, e.g., money, implying a liberation from the past – inheritance; liberation from physical identifiers, viz., liberated from natural identifiers (genetic markers), the tangible, the physical, the body as past made present; compensating for the loss of a past with the promise of an imminent techno-utopian future – replacing paradise, and its allusions to a beyond space/time eternal bliss, with futurism; a multifariously singular one-god replaced by the conception of a diversified one-humanity; god-creator of oneness replaced by universal order, manifesting an individuated creation of its singularity – an extension of divine will; “will to power” redefined as universal fatalism determining inevitable outcomes that must be positively affirmed, i.e., faith in divine benevolence – individuals acting as divine agencies nullifying injustices, prejudices, bigotry, cruelty, hatred etc.; healing, correcting the world {tikkun olam}, progressively moving towards divine completion (perfection) within which all injustices are justified and all suffering is meaningful.
No alternative systems will be tolerated. Americanism will become emulated globally. All alternatives will be abandoned, or converted to products, fashions, and trends, to be recycled and sold on the open markets – reduced to semiotics.
America presents itself as an agency of salvation, via monetary relief from nature’s “inhumane injustices” – a pragmatic application of either/or binaries as its sacred codes, e.g., either all mankind will be saved from its past, from itself, or all mankind will be doomed to an eternity in an earthly hell, i.e., Armageddon.

5] Futurism/Techno-Utopianism: (akin of the Italian art movement) – focus of presence in a perpetual present; absorbed by an eternally imminent future, with no inhibiting past to limit all forms of idealized projections forward, and forever onward – eternal hope is maintained as a constant ‘yet to become’ which can never disappoint because it could never be; individuality reduced to a noetic singularity – entirely theoretical and abstract, created socioeconomically. [Postmodernism]
A seductive idea if you keep in mind accumulating unfit mutations burdening the common man with failures he cannot fully understand – finding relief in accusations against an evil external agency, preventing the full realization of a promised ideal.

6] Pragmatism: even at the cost of reason and integrity – what works is true, what fails to produce a desired outcome is useless, ergo untrue. Hedonism is presented as a validating criterion for judging and choosing varied subjective perspectives.
Americanism uses materialism – access to goods & services – as a measure of man’s highest objectives, ergo freedoms, viz., salvation, liberty, is validated by access to multiple varieties of goods & services; ‘pursuit of happiness’ becomes a guiding principle determining an individual’s assessment of truth, e.g., if it does not add to the potential for attaining happiness – defined as comfort, safety, pleasure etc. – it is false and useless, if it does it is true and useful.
‘Happiness’ is defined as the gratification of needs/desires that can only be evaluated through access to goods & services; ergo, more access to goods and services is a pragmatic measure of contentment; available pleasure options measuring a man’s happiness.
Truth is reduced to human psychology where unreason often usurps reason. As such, if the irrational produces desirable effects, then it is “true.”

7] More is best: antithesis to the minimalist Stoic mantra “less is more”; gluttony & greed are a virtue not a vice – perpetual economic growth used as a measure of progress; quantities over qualities.
In the either/or binary model, asceticism is defined in accordance with Abrahamic worldviews, viz., it is an end in itself. Contraposed to this definition of asceticism, is Americanism’s superfluity, as an end in itself.
‘Less is more,’ rationalizes its antithesis, ‘more is better,’ i.e., gluttony, greed, promiscuity, any form of excess becomes a basic measure of freedom and happiness; ‘progress’ becomes a perpetual movement towards greater quantities, even at the expense of lowering qualities. Markets must be continuously growing, wealth increasing, goods and services moving, because this is the only way to practically measure truth and happiness.

8] No Biological/Natural Identifiers: nothing that causes human divisions and prevents the free-flow of resources, including human resources, will be tolerated.
All identifiers will be products to be recycled on the open markets.
Identity is reduced to another product of socioeconomic dynamics – socially constructed. Physical presence is concealed, or dismissed as superficial – another shell to be replaced by manmade shells (garments) or surgically modified to reflect fashion trends. The body is but another product to be bought and sold, determining market prices (values).

9] Diversity: code for the absence of biodiversity – negation of racial, ethnic, cultural diversity; pseudo-diversity, where everything is reduced to a manmade construct; consumer diversity. Only two political options, representing a singular ideal, but dozens of gender options – and soft-drink, and restaurant, and fashion, and musical options. Culture condensed to a disposable garment one can put on and then take off, replacing it with another.

[§Monologue: Word Wars]

There is no English to American dictionary, so I will recontribute my own small translations....

Quote :: Democracy = intersubjective collectivism; hive mind; divergent expressions of the collective spirit, i.e., divinity.
Not to be confused with original Democracy. Within Americanism the concept acquires metaphysical dimensions.
The ‘democratization of a people’ is code describing their integration within Americanism’s sanctified collective mind, within its infinite mental frontiers every “individual” can recreate itself from within its collectivized semiotics.
‘Spreading Democracy’ is code for ‘spreading salvation,’ i.e., liberating peoples from traditions and ethnic, racial, biological limitations through money, offering them the possibility to recreate themselves into anything, as long as it does not restrict or inhibit the creative possibilities of others, participating within the same collective.

******
American democracy = liberating individuals from their biological identifiers and their cultural foundations; converting them to lost souls desperate to find an alternate identity. In the American paradigm this alternate identity can only be found in capitalism’s supply/demand markets, where governmental interventions, through corporations, can manipulate supplies and manufacture demands.

******
Advancement is marketing – founded on psychological insights – make the determination of elections predictable, nevertheless, some uncertainty remains, and this is why the American democratic model only offers two political options, forcing a large segment of the voters to not participate.
Money is a decisive factor, bringing to bear the entire gamut of institutional manipulation.
Plutocracy masking as a Democracy. Americanism openly admits that it is a republic, not a democracy. Those with wealth possess the means to determine elections results – practiced around the world, when Americanism surreptitiously intervenes in foreign elections.

******
On the off chance that an undesirable candidate is elected, the systems make sure he will be powerless to have any effect; he will be coerced, seduced and, most likely, bribed into failing to fulfill his obligations to those that elected him.

Quote :

Individualism = men with no past; no inheritance, no nature – nature = sum of all past nurturing – wiping the genetic/memetic slate clean: a blank slate (tabula rasa) beginning the process of self-recreation, reconstructing an identity from nothing and nowhere; man, creator of reality, including himself.

******

Individualism, as we’ve been trained to grasp its meaning, is any life form that can think and express its thinking semiotically, automatically excluding all other species from the category.
Individualism is an entirely human affair, because only humans can be affected by semiotics. That which cannot be linguistically manipulated is excluded.

******

Heisman, Mitchell wrote:: American optimism and Judeo-Christian hope stress the improbable but possible. If racial generalizations entertain probable behavior for an individual belonging to a given racial group, the Anglo-Jewish emphasis on the possibilities of the individual act as an alternative to the domination of racial or group generalizations.
The Lockean tabula rasa underlying liberal democracy, emphasizing the potential for changing human behavior through learning, added theoretical justification for individual possibility over biological probability.

******

Logos is the means by which nihilism, both spiritual (Abrahamism) and secular (Socialism/Communism, Postmodernism) propose to “change mankind” by redefining human nature, as the essential medium of world creation.
Denial of free-will emphasises a loss of hope in the American experiment, a submission to the hopelessness of biological probabilities. On the other end of the psychological spectrum, naïve idealism overemphasizes the hopeful possibility of changing, or even negating, biological probabilities. The latter psychological attitude leading to inevitable disillusionments/disappointments producing the former.

******

Heisman, Mitchell wrote:: The basic theoretical problem with the Hobbesian view becomes clear when one asks, ‘Where do these individuals come from?’ Over two centuries after Leviathan, Darwin provided an answer that shattered the shallow foundations of Hobbes’ system.
From an unadulterated materialistic view of the world, there is no necessary reason to presume that the world must be divided up into ‘individuals’ over any other perceptual or conceptual scheme. This is what makes the particular perceptions of individuals underlying Hobbesian materialism interesting, or rather, conspicuous, in light of Darwin and subsequent sociobiological discoveries.

******

Logos, the ability to use language or some level of semiotics, is for Americanism the lowest-common-denominator. It is what separates man from beast and what unifies mankind into a singular logocentric unity.
“First came the word…,” and the word is last, i.e., arche and telos (alpha & omega).
For the modern secular Abrahamic, the Old Testament still holds true. It is the foundation of his being, the root of his identity – the source of his new testimony.
By words/numbers he identifies who belongs to the human race, dismissing all subdivisions as contrary to the 1/0 binary – we are all one, in and through words/numbers, and nil outside of them. Language, i.e., semiotics, separating man from animal; the unifying symbols of the magical word, the divinely mysterious and occult symbol, enchanting and possessing the mind: world creator, world negator. To see mathematical patterns is to peer into the mind of god; become one with him.
Through semiotics man is liberated from his past – reborn, every moment, with every word, simply by declaring himself this or that his internal creations are externalized, imposing themselves upon what has been determined and is consistently made present.
An advancement occurs (progress) when we replace audible and representational words/numbers with ethereal electronic codes, e.g., data codes, bank codes, monetary codes, fabricating matrices of streaming cyphers, concealing the cosmos with their streaming shroud.

Since the assassination of Kennedy and the impeachment of Nixon, the U.S. has been represented by a series of imbeciles and lunatics, easily manageable by their handlers, on behalf of elitist cultural distorters.

******

Americanism’s individualism begins with the presumption of a ‘freedom from…’ rather than a ‘freedom to…’ Messianism is expressed in this linguistic/semiotic ‘liberation from the past’ – complete or selective disconnection, rejection, negation of all that has come before – which is the foundation of nihilism.

Heisman, Mitchel wrote:: Individualism successfully negates ethnic conflict for a specific reason. Individuation is a form of differentiation; the inverse and opposite of the kin selective based differentiation of the hive. It works by the very nature of its antithesis to the logic of kin selection. Individualism liberalized the extended kinship circle by devaluing the import of kinship relationships between individuals.

The ‘will,’ thusly disconnected from everything, finds itself rooted in nothing, emerging from nowhere; a nowhere that can now be substituted by a beyond or an occult ideal. Once no-thing is the foundation of will, some-thing can take the form of an absolute one/nil that cannot refer to the past but to an imagined above or beneath what is experienced. “Will to Power” “Will to Life” is no longer a reference to a continuum – past/present/future – but to a universal: absolute singularity, or absolute void. ‘Will’ is taken out of its place in the dynamic present, acting as a mediator between past and a projected future, and converted to an abstraction, a divine idea/ideal, a concept, ironically, existing only in the minds of the willing.
Individuals having lost their biological and cultural identity (genetic/memetic) are given an ideal to outsource their will, establishing a collective identity and unity.

******

The irony being that when individuals are “liberated” from all biological and cultural collective identities they begin to independently act in similar ways, drawing direction from their genetically determined needs/desires. It is then when an alternative meme (ideology, dogma) can be introduced to direct them.

Quote :: Liberty = salvation; detachment from the body, as past made present (presence); erasing past so as to begin the process of self-creation; rebirth as pure mind/spirit gathering material to reconstruct a new and improved identity; process of creation and recreation offering infinite possibilities; freedom from old world hierarchies and natural order.

******
As with all forms of nihilism the use of words acquires different connotations and implications, e.g., individualism.

[§Monologue: Nihilism]

******
Americanism offers a secular form of Abrahamic salvation. Its “liberty” is a promissory (monetary) detachment from an impoverished genetic inheritance. Money is the encoded means (messiah) through which this liberation can take place; money is earned by submitting to systemic values; money represents god’s approval, in the form of collective appreciation of your net worth, determined by your performance.
Shift from God = humanity to Humanity = god.

[§Monologue: Economic – Money]

Quote :: Progress = continuous expansion of probabilities; increase in options to choose from, i.e., freedom; infinite supply for infinite demand, i.e., divine marketplace; movement towards godliness and infinite probabilities, i.e., techno-utopian – art imitating art.

******
American capitalism is based on the hypothesis of continuous economic growth, implying constant progress, i.e., movement towards the superior – the divine.

[§Monologue: Capitalism/Socialism]

******
Money is capitalism’s messianic symbol of salvation from natural order – from the past, i.e., sum of all nurturing, offering man a continuous option to reinvent himself. Upward market values symbolize man’s liberation from himself, as it is appreciated by a collective; attainment of divinity.

[§Monologue: Economics – Money]

******
Progress is a sacred term, in Americanism. It always denotes something good is coming. Change is always desirable, as if one could will change to stop and to begin; always promising the better. So, progress expresses a state of constant flight from an undesirable present; a continuous liberation.
