⚡️Revolutions in Paris, DC, Berlin: Turning, Then Righting The hero needs a damsel. If there is no damsel in distress, well, no bother. You distress one. Then you ride in. The movement I want to bring into our minds is turning, then the straightening. I am going to keep saying it. Turning, then righting. I want to embed it, so that when our minds are being turned by someone, in real time, we recall this little mantra. Turning, righting. When you see a revolution on the streets of Paris, whether in 1789 or today, that is turning. And then comes the righting of the turning. Think of a wheel. The wheel is turning, with a Tr- in it, the consonantal pair. When it stops turning, it is righted. You have a wheelwright who fixes it. The wheel was turning, then it was broken. There is a riot, perhaps, or an insurrection. Then someone rights it. The wheelwright rights the wheel. So you create the chaos, which is the turning. Then you purport to save it, to solve it, which is the righting. The riot is the turning. The strong man who says I will lock every rioter up, or indeed the strong woman leader who says it, I will lock the far left up, that is the righting. And because the hand that offers the righting was behind the turning, the righting is his to offer. Think of a wheelwright who plants stones or nails on the road. Think of running a business that fixes tyres. You guarantee yourself plenty of custom by putting nails on the street. The hand that offers the righting was behind the turning, and he is ready for it, because he planned it. The oldest shape of the trick is the damsel in distress. France is in distress. Europe is in distress. russian Disinfolklorists love the motif, and I have written about it often. The hero needs a damsel. If there is no damsel in distress, well, no bother. You distress one. Then you ride in. America was great. You say it is not great. You convince people it is not great. In fact you make it ungreat. You degrade America. You distress America, and then you say you are going to save it. There is an abhorrent cultural meme I have spoken about before, the men who call themselves pick-up artists. They nag their victims. Your nose is a bit too big. Wow, I am surprised you ever had a girlfriend, because you are pretty ugly. Then they use that vulnerability to hook the person. That is the micro level. On the macro level we are not used to this. We are not used to it in geopolitics. We are not used to it in politics. We are not used to people arranging riots like the January 6th insurrection and then riding in to supposedly fix it. We are not used to countries carpet bombing, let us say, Syria. Imagine a country like russia, which was having problems in Ukraine in the summer of 2015. It decides to carpet bomb Syria, which it starts doing in September 2015. That provokes millions of migrants, because nobody wants to die. The migrants come into Europe. They cause political chaos. And the people who ride to the rescue are PiS in Poland and Orbán in Hungary. Germany had a lot of problems. Merkel invited them in, legalised a million migrants and more or less absorbed them. Now we have the AfD, supported by russia, riding high in the polls. You cause the distress, then you purport to solve it. You cause the distress, then you sponsor political movements like the National Rally, you offer them massive loans, and then you purport to solve it. The same trick in Reform. It is a routine.
