We live in the days when the dead political form is slowly being replaced by power hungry privatiers like Trump, you cuck.

Okay, so I just finished Mircea Eliade's The Sacred and The Profane and I'm smitten with the way he describes religious thinking as hierophanies and (ultimately) ontophanies and how our secular understanding of the world does away with the grand symbolism of the universe.

I want to read more in that direction. That is to say on how to overcome modernity and live more consciously. Does Heidegger touch on that? What about Kierkegaard? I'm not so much interested in Jung as I'm already familiar with him.

Maybe we need to reconstruct absolutes arbitrarily and then enforce them on the general public via inquisitorial tribunals to recreate meaning?

Pop culture was a mistake and you know it.

This, Hillary was in it playing the game. Trump ignored the game completely because he had no idea how to play it. That made him unpredictable and hard to corner as a political opponent.
