You dunk on Lindsey whateverhernameis for tweeting bad things about leftists fomenting violent insurrection, but hopeful Balkanization and US collapse posts are downbeared. Are you just larping? Either the bourgeois state can be ended without violence or it cannot. I’m not here for enlightened centrism, folks.

Sure, uphold Marxism-Monarchism or whatever. That’s not what I’m talking about though. I don’t know how much KCNA you watch and read on a weekly basis but I generally catch about 3-4 episodes a week for b-roll in my dog’s videos and keep current with Rodong Sinmun and Choson Sinbo for the wording of the articles. What I’m describing is the cultural manifestation of that worship. Britons might be Churchill apologists, largely because we’re stupid and have the same quality of history education that Americans have, but that doesn’t become a reinforcing ideology around the Churchill dynasty or Conservatism-Churchillianism or the tonality of a video in which a Conservative PM visits a farm and everybody cums or a construction project at night randomly has a Conservative Party band playing music about Churchill. That’s a very specific Spectacle and an aesthetic that’s in a specific state of cultural revolution western politicians don’t have.

So you’re saying that the British equivalent of a Trump supporter, the cultural equivalent in the sense that Great Britain was sort of like if the confederacy won and controlled the world for centuries, also has the same general aesthetic preferences? The kind which might represent worshipping some sort of strongman and die to protect their nationalist ideology? The kind that drapes themselves in flags in a way that North Koreans would probably find to be an insane degree of zealotry as you’ve correctly observed?

let me refer you to my previous statement:

literally every country has an unhealthy worship of their political leaders.

idk what you find so difficult to understand about the fact that you had a bad take that isnt an inherently wrong idea about zealotry being bad but was very very poorly presented.
