0075 Have I identified those who cannot handle the truth₁?

Or those who cannot handle the synthesis₁?

On one hand, some accumulate capital… [wealth]… without regard to their responsibilities… [power].

On the other hand, some exercise order… [power]… without regard to their freedom… [wealth]… to be productive.

0076 Then, there are those who dampen the irreducible oscillations, so that the contradiction-filled actuality₂ takes on a certain blandness.  

0077 Zizek starts with American-style Afropessimism.  Yes, it may be true_1c, but does it cover the current situation?  Does it synthesize₁?

Surely, with the capitalists of northern European descent and their politicians exercising social order, the slaves of African descent could easily fall into… what scholars today call… “Afropessimism”.

Here is a picture.

0078 Yeah, this version of Afropessimism is definitely American.  Plus, it is not Christian.

For matter, the slave of African-descent not only cannot accumulate capital, but his own phenotype (or form) tells others that he constitutes capital, in the normal context of one who is not Christ₃.  It is almost as if the contiguity is the inversion of [wealth and power].  Thesis and antithesis both work against the slave in this instance.

So, what happens after slaves are freed in the 1860s?

0079 Decades after the War of Southern Rebellion and the War of Northern Aggression, the rich industrialists of the victorious north open the floodgates to European immigration. These European masses settle into ethnic neighborhoods, with their own restaurants, pubs and churches.  Ethnic neighborhoods become sites of capital accumulation and fiefdoms exercising local order.  Yes, I am talking about neighborhoods in big northern cities.  Local businessmen, police and clergy grow powerful enough to thwart inroads by both big money and big government.  Eventually, many recalcitrant neighborhoods are destroyed by federal and state governments in the name of “urban renewal”₁.

0080 To understand how far dehumanization has gone in the USA, Afropessimists are now labeled, “blacks”, and ethnic Europeans displaced from their city neighborhoods are now labeled, “whites”.

The 1950s and 1960s mark two decades of the so-called “Cold War,” or, what I now label, “The Third Battle of the Enlightenment Gods: The Cold War Among Materialist Ideologies”.

0081 That war ends in 1989.

I wonder what comes next.

How about “The Fourth Battle involving Enlightenment Gods: Empirio-Normative Domination of Subject Populations”?

Oh, that sounds like a nightmare.

It officially starts in 1989 and continues to this day.

0082 In one instance, big government (il)liberalism “handles” the truth₁ through synthesis₁.

Big(il)libism?

The bigger the government gets, the more illiberal the party becomes.

0083 Bigilibs work both sides of the hylomorphe.

0084 For capitalism₂, the government accumulates “trust funds” for ‘victims of old age’.  Later, other victims manifest, each requiring accumulations and dispensations tailored to their needs.

For socialism₂, big(il)libs exercise social order on victim’s behalf.

0085 What is left out of this picture?

The bigilib party and its allies acquire wealth and power at the expense of the people who are not designated victims.

Indeed, according to their broadcasts, the people who are not designated victims are responsible for those who are designated victims, and need to listen to and obey the One Who Protects The Victims_3c.

0086 It_1c may not be true_1c, but it is a great synthesis_1c.

So, I call the potential, “a synthetic truth_1c“.

Indeed, one could translate thesis, antithesis, and synthesis in the following figure into problem, diagnosis, and solution.

0087 I wonder, “Does a synthesis₁ somehow extend the life of its thesis₂ and antithesis₂?”

Doesn’t that sound like a death drive?

The solution_1c that undergirds both problem_2c and diagnosis_2c, not only fails to resolve the tension that plagues the Relativist One_3c, but also keeps the Relativist One_3c alive.

0088 It is a repetition disorder par excellence.

For example, if the solution_1c is forever postponed because the problem_2c of accumulating for the victims (of old age and so forth) and the diagnosis_2c requiring the exercise of social control in order to protect and assuage the victims (of old age and so forth), then the normal context_3c, the historically contingent not-Christ One_3c, who stands above all jurisdictions, stays alive.

0089 Indeed, as long as the hylomorphic actuality_2c retains its ontological realness, the transcendent normal context_3cand its sublime potential_1c continue to manifest the oneness of the entire category-based nested form.
