Your piece is a lot more thorough and encompassing, but it’s closely connected to the review I’m wrapping up.
I’m focusing more specifically on the reactionary cult of historical fetishists who buzz around the decomposing corpse of tradition. To pull off their Frankenstinian resurrection, these necrophilic grave robbers resort to a pornographic imitation of the sacred.
If mine lands even half as well as this, I’ll be happy.
It's something that's ought to be written about, which blog are you putting it on I think I'm only subscribed to one of yours and I'd be excited to read it when you do post it!
People are desperate for the spiritual in the desolate wasteland of Western liberalism. Unfortunately, they’re easily seduced by polemicists dressed as priests, performing barroom magic tricks. Hopefully, writing that exposes the LARP can help—though I doubt it.
It’s going to be on Maybe Tomorrow. I’m going to merge them and change the name to Nihilist Pizza.
The issue always comes down to when that polemicist stops dressing up and actually becomes a priest. The rise of political cults and pseudo-religions is something I've noticed with a major pivot being around 2020, maybe due to COVID but I don't really know.
And great, that's the one I'm currently subbed to!
Damn, this really hits.

Not sure if there’s any solution except a violent form of reset.
