Letters to a Friend, XLI, Semantics

[Dear Redacted]

!! Cabin fever runs deep. I want to say a few things but firstly it must be understood that in my frame of reference, Unity is always declared as a goal, and thus Division is required as the penultimate mechanism used to enforce it. And so naturally you could see how susceptible we are to become controlled whenever we engage at all with it. I don’t mean to suggest that what you said lacks credence, in fact your cabin fever has seemingly brought about with it many truths.

Funny how that works isn’t it? His games of semantics seem to always reach a point of reckoning where the only somewhat reasonable explanation for his entire get up is pure theatrics. It’s performative by him, but in such a way that may actually suggest influence of external control which dictates his decisions from outside the public perception.

And I mean really when you sit with this you come to the conclusion eventually that of course, if your intention as a governing body was to control your people, you would have to keep them divided. He would be the perfect candidate to catalyze a mass polarization within the entire spectrum of public opinion. Even myself, who is fairly apolitical, can find the time to speculate about him.

The nature of western politics is first and foremost grounded in artificial semantics. I believe that at a societal level, the prolonged exposure or willingness to adopt polarizing attitudes and behaviors , ultimately does nothing but lead us further and further away from one another and thus becoming directly isolated we find ourselves in dire need of an existential beneficiary.

Strength is only found in Unity. Division is firstly sowed through an exposure to Doubt, and this is the pain of our people. We have little faith in one another. And this lack of faith is a Learned Helplessness that pits us against one another. I think it’s important to recognize that we the people, are not to blame for this, but that alone is irrelevant because who else should be responsible for the decisive action that finally compels us to reject against these ideas that divide us.
