  1. CLIMBING DOWN

    #Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

    He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

    That is a very different thing.

    The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

    No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

    Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

    His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

    Water does not need to win.

    The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

    And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

    The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

    But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

    Simple living is not automatically #holy.

    Low status is not #awakening.

    A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

    But a life without #comparison ?

    That is #freedom.

    Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

    Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

  2. Conservative politicians in #Alberta, from #DanielleSmith and #JasonKenney on down to #PierrePoilievre and #PrestonManning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambitions. In the process, they have created a generation of #grievance #junkies, people who are absolutely addicted to the idea of their own #victimhood at the hands of a corrupt federal government.

  3. What makes Trump unusual, is the synthesis of Berlusconi's #shamelessness, Andrew Jackson's #grievance (election fraud obsession), Napoleon III's institutional #vandalism (in the name of "people against system"), Longian #clientelism, Chavista #polarization, George Wallace-style cultural #backlash, P.T. Barnum's #hoax culture, Caligula's murderous #arbitrariness, Nero's #narcissism, and Mussolini's corporate strongman aesthetics. Compound into a single organism sustained by #X and #FoxNews
