OK, let's keep track of this:
(1.) The Beast is real and is the God of the Earth
(2.) "Politics" is a game invented by and for the Beast to lock in the fascist status quo.
(3.) This leaves "Revolution", but history has shown us that these blood baths almost always end up making everything worse.
Maybe we should add the consequence of meaningless politics and revolution is what tragically now defines human existence: hopeless passivity and despair. How could it be otherwise? One theory of schizophrenia is that is comes from being trapped in "double binds: that is to say, you're dammed if you do and you're damned if you don't. That's us. Both politics and revolution are like eating ground glass, but if we don't at least pretend we're doing "something", we'll spend our entire lives (and the lives of our descendants) hearing the roar and laughter of the Beast -- which ALWAYS has the last laugh.
If all of the above were a kind of syllogism, the inevitable conclusion would be we need what ancient thinkers called a "tertium quid", which meant a "third thing". Or in the spirit of Monty Python: "And now for something completely different".
In short, to HELL with politics and to HELL with revolution. We need to quantum jump to a radically new mechanism of social change.
Now this is a dangerous place, because the temptation will be to intellectualize all this away. But if we do that, it will be like not being creative enough to get off the tracks in front of an approaching train. This is NOT the time to be resigned or argumentative. This is the time to be OPEN TO THE NEW.
