George w bush and ape symbology as a fear of losing our cultivation? Protofascist authoritarian vs overcultivated immoral slow stodgy inefficient futurism. Competing science fictions, rejection of the next generation’s federation. Then he didn’t do anything because a stupid ape has no need to address the economy of technology imploding, then springing into brutal grim Christian action of pretense to burn away the corruption in the inexplicable and foul east. We will crush out this filth, it has assaulted our core, our soul, our symbols.
The inversion of generation x; they could hardly be relied on as a countercultural force because they were trained into nonexistence and apathy, fading into references and implacable early-internet ‘coolness’. Y as the response to x’s quiet conservatism and growing-upness. More extreme nihilism with cool quietude via the potential and ease for overexpression and showmanship on the internet. Gaudiness writ titanic, aesthetic nothingness. Minimalism and breadth, effortless and unnecessary information, unspoken obviousness in all facts and things, a mere check for the same bullet points. The absurdity being, of course, that it works. This is just the most efficient way to develop our collective subjectivities; end-stage individuality/ism.
