Following every election is the search for what it means. Elections have no meaning. They’re a popularity contest. That’s all they are. There is no link between popularity and our material lives. It’s a status game overlaid upon those material realities. 1/3 https://t.co/imjuydYZvW

The reason we’re seeing more churn, more landslide wins in elections, is that populism has now completely decoupled them from any relevance to the issues facing us. They’re just viral trending fads and fashions. 2/3

Elections have entrenched populism as civilisational suicide. Popularity is entirely separated from reality, its function is only status in social systems. Combined with social media, where we now live, and its likes and followers, and we’re accelerating our collapse. /end
