the anticulturalist - satire and politics

Satire is used by the leftwing as proof of an enlightened society and as proof of the power of ridicule to change minds and by the rightwing as proof that it is willing to be the butt of jokes because it knows that ultimately it is meaningless and clearly toothless.

Satire only becomes dangerous when it engenders a violent reaction based on whatever ideology deigns to respond to it with violence. This is because amongst the enlightened satire is a reversed reactionary apologism.

 This is halfway toward an anticulturist statement but can never be one because human algorithms are inbuilt with a tendency to see meaning in the meaningless.

This appropriation of symbols is also a central tenet of the anticulturalist view but in contrast to punk or situationism it has no context whatsoever aside from its own. The pathetic cuckoos of postmodernism are themselves subject to their own rules and thus meaning is irrelevant.

This of course is unwitting satire created by a lack of anything on which to anchor a viewpoint. This divorce of symbolism from sloganeering, and vice versa, is where the anticulturalist can reside only upon declaration of the same.

Because the anticulturalist has no need for oppositional or supportive politics, they are also meaningless. There is no context outside that decided by the individual anticulturalist for his own needs at that moment and with whatever information is appropriate to the anticulturalist at that time.

Everywhere else these data units and satirical units and political units are uncoupled from each other.
