AS PURELY PRIVATE BEINGS WE FALL FOR AUTHORITARIANS AS WE UNLEARN TO ENJOY WITH OTHERS BUT ENJOY AGAINST THEM.

WE TODAY ENJOY AGAINST OTHERS THROUGH THEM, NOT WITH THEM.

MANUFECTURING ISOLATION:

WE ENJOY ONLY BY BEING AGAINST OTHERS WHERE SYSTEMIC ISOLATION MAKES US WEIRD.

Weird in the sense of sacrificial:

Sacrifice for the other blinds us to our own dissatisfaction says Lacan.

Sacrifice functions to support our idea that there is an other, a real cause, beyond any human other and any profane cause.

THE RIGHT ONLY THINKS IT IS RADICAL.

TACKLING PROBLEMS NOT AT THEIR RADICAL ROOT MAKES THE RIGHT ALL THE MORE VIOLENT.

THE RIGHT NEEDS ITS FAKE PROBLEMS IN ORDER TO NOT LOOK UP AT THE REAL STRUGGLES.

NOT LOOKING UP AT THE TRUE PROBLEMS MEANS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT POLITICALLY.

THE RIGHT IS A SYMPTOM OF NOT KNOWING ENOUGH WHAT WE WANT.

HISTORY IS SHAPED BY THE RIGHT WHEN WE SEEK IDEOLOGY IN ORDER TO TAKE CONSISTENCY FOR OUR BEING FROM IT.

IN SUBMITTING TO A FAKE CAUSE WE SEEK CONSISTENCY FOR OUR BEING, WE SEEK A GUARANTEE TO OUR BEING.

WE SEEK A PLACE GRANTED TO US IN THE GREAT SCHEME OF THINGS WHEN THERE IS ONLY UNCERTAINTY.

WITHOUT THE IMMIGRANT TO DETERMINE WHAT AMERICA SIGNIFIES, THE APPEAL FOR AMERICAN GREATNESS FALLS ON DEAF EARS, SO TRUMP PROCLAIMED TO BUILD A WALL, WRITES MCGOWAN.

A COUNTER-ENJOYMENT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ALSO AN EDGE.

BUT NOT ACHIEVED BY PAINTING ENEMIES BUT BY TARRYING WITH THE NEGATIVITY OF THE SYSTEM ITSELF.

MAGA IS "DON'T LOOK UP":

MAGA IN ORDER TO PUNCH ONLY DOWNWARDS NEEDS TO MAKE US NOT LOOK UP AT THE TRUE ISSUES.

The right wins with its exclusive belonging only for some.

The right uses the disruptiveness of enjoyment to further a sense of an exclusive belonging only for some.

BY BOOSTING RACISM TO JUSTIFY EXPLOITATION, CAPITALISM DESTROYS OUR CORE HUMAN SUBSTANCE.

IN RACISM WE AVOID TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT GOES ON NOT IN OTHERS BUT IN US.

WE ARE SO UNABLE TO LOOK AT OUR RACISM: FOR RACISM IS THE ULTIMATE "DON’T LOOK UP". (UP AT THE ROOT ISSUES)

Capitalism is destroying our shared symbolic substance by imposing a compulsion to blame someone.

ANTISEMITISM IS A FORM OF DON’T LOOK UP:

Anti-Semitism paints a figure as the cause of social antagonisms.

Crucially the antagonisms are actually engendered by capitalism, not by the blamed targets.

ANTISEMITISM OFFERS THE ENJOYMENT OF FALSE ANSWERS THAT ARE EASIER TO MAKE ENJOYABLE THAN LOOKING UP.

ONE FALSE ANSWER IS THAT OUR LACK CAN BE OVERCOME, THAT SOCIAL HARMONY IS POSSIBLE.

The fascist leader appears in the false promise of social harmony.

Fascism tries to have entities appear as opposites as if the conflict between them will get rid of deeper contradiction and antagonism.

The ultimate rightist fantasy is the elimination of contradiction.

Fascism sees its salvation in organizing the masses without affecting the unjust property structure the people hoped to bring down, writes Walter Benjamin.

BUT THE OPPRESSIVE ORDER IS FORCED TO PUT ITSELF ON THE LINE.
