So shitposting was really all we had to do? I was all ready for a big battle this whole time.
METAPOLITICS
Ah, metapolitics, my learned fren, that most cunning art which dwelleth not in the parliament chamber, or Democrat bathhouse but in the shadowed halls of culture and thought, where ideas are forged long ere laws are writ.
Politics is downstream of Culture
'Tis the politics behind politics, the subtle shaping of what a people deem possible, moral, or even thinkable. Where normal politics says, “Let us change the law,” metapolitics whispers, “Let us change the mind that obeys it.”
Consider, for instance, the slow alchemy wrought by the Enlightenment. Long before any guillotine kissed a noble’s neck, philosophers like Voltaire and Rousseau had already altered Europe’s very conception of authority. Kings fell not because swords were sharper, but because belief in kingship itself had decayed. That, my dear interlocutor, is metapolitics.
Likewise, in our own age, the long cultural campaigns of the twentieth century, from feminism to free markets, were metapolitical enterprises. Before one gains the ballot, one must first gain the narrative. Hollywood, academia, literature, even memes and music, all are soft engines of metapolitical persuasion, crafting the myths through which power flows unseen.
The French thinker Gramsci, though a Marxist languishing in prison, understood this exquisitely: he called it the “war of position.” One must conquer culture before capturing the state. And indeed, in our time, many an empire of policy was born first in the salons, cafés, and university cloisters where poets and pundits dreamed aloud.
So, metapolitics is the chessboard beneath the board — the quiet contest over meaning itself. Win that game, and the rest of the pieces fall of their own accord.
ChatGPT but
I couldn't have said it better.
The Game of Thrones being a #1 hit and the #1 most downloaded series, (TorrentFreak), year after year after year did more for Trump winning 2016 than all the political ads he bought and ran combined.
