There is a certain 'scratch a liberal find a bigot' involved in this. My theory, held in a 'for what its worth' perspective, is that the vast majority of what flows in front of us as human activity is "supplication", already a mannered submission to power. Spontaneity is largely killed off, though one has to see there are good and bad aspects of this. Lynch mobs and chucked spears over comments made about mothers, prophets and various bits of domestic thuggery are generally not good. Yet armed as a gunslinging cop, I could have saved a lot of future victims - though as with everything, summary justice has problems. I'd like to think I'd have been really good at it, but also know nearly all of it turns to martial law in support of corrupt war lords, bandits and governments.
Nearly all literature is supplication in my view, submitted to the violence of audiences fixated with trivia and tranced by propaganda. Comedy is already supplication in the sense violence is already suppressing its truth to 'I'm only joking'. This is before we consider what makes money. Art has these problems - under my management we'll soon have Tony whipping out cute cats, tearful children and green ladies. In public, of course, I will have replaced him with a Tom Cruise look-a-like wearing Perry Anderson dresses and press rumours he is screwing his way through BBC weather women. Andrew and Allan will be given Eastern European accents, berets and trained in tarot and guru-babble by Gabby, our dark Germanic lady citing Ayn Rand and Gandhi in equal measure with panting to be alone, or whatever Garbo said/ All of us will spend time at the feet of one of Vam's sages and alternate and highly publicised drying out sessions in the embrace of Molly's paradox sessions and RP's mountain retreat to get back in touch with the eternal. We will pay tax in Rockall and register various shell companies in the British Virgin Islands Bitcoin will turn out to be worthless (down 50% this month) and everywhere it once was will be found a signed copy of one of Tony's cats with a vanishing smile - the smile vanishes off the face of creditors to our businesses, which I have timed to go Chapter 11 on an annual basis and be taken over by our private equity fund for a second screwing of the pooch. Oraganised (have you ever looked closely at management consultants?) development gave up on Gabbsie's (our public term of endearment to suggest gossip on the affection in which he hold the lady) "love trust" orientation in favour of bent accounting long before I discovered it's best to be holding the machine-gun in first contact situations with people you assume will do you no harm. Now, who's going to arrange religious status for our organisation to ensure fir consideration of criticism before our followers make critics and endangered species?
