The High Church of Capital

Dispatch to the Department of Experimental Theology

In the previous article, I discussed the rites and mythology of The Cult of the Lesser Evil. In this section, I will be addressing the broader spiritual and social context in which The Cult operates.

what shall be said 0f Time, that varnished mirr0r of consci0usness, which may 0nly reflect, glitch-like, on the heuristic 0bscurities of its aut0-simulatEd $elf?”

the high church of capital is, if not the first, than at least the most effective …in the past, a schism was understood as the mark of a meant the rupture of an ideology, a political structure, a system of spiritual economy. In the High Church of Capital, however, schismatic divides constitute the very circuts by which the whole of society is propelled forward and forced to cohere.

November 1, two-hundred thirty seven Annos Constitutionis. The fifty-ninth presidential election is days away. Confidence in their psephological arts being somewhat improved by their vindications some four years prior, the nation’s civic priests of Performative Statistics are auguring the last, fickle flight patterns of the American collective psyche, adjusted for Schrödinger’s Margin of Error, and upload their offerings to the touch-screen alters of a lethargically anxious public. Only simple arithmetic can validate or discredit the numericana now being finalized in the Pollsters’ offices, but for large swaths of the country the outcomes are not in much doubt. For example, throughout the empire’s major cities and coastal towns as well as the suburban sunbelt most residents expect that Acting President Harris will be awarded a full term in her own right.

Harris’ campaign promises to “lower the threshold to apply to government-sponsored unpaid internships” has won plaudits from student advocacy firms and Center-Left think tanks alike, as has her firm commitment to “study the best process to establish a cross-departmental committee to nominate persons to an expert panel to develop a bi-partisan approach to meta-bureaucratic governmental reform.” Perhaps most daring of all, in a concession to the radical left wing of her party, Harris has pledged to expand the Supreme Court—by adding one seat, the Ruth Badder Ginsburg Memorial seat. Rumors suggest has been ear-marked for former Secretary of State and frequent advisor on geopolitics to the Harris administration, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Elsewhere, of course, the prospects of a Harris victory are much in doubt. Many voters are confident that former President Trump will perform a feat not performed since Grover Cleaveland’s victory in 1892 and win a second, non-consecutive term in the White House. Mr. Trump has spent the last four years as a Media Barron-cum-President in Exile, first from overseas island resorts in states without extradition treaties with the US, then from the comfort of his Miami residence after receiving a full and complete pardon from President Biden for any and all crimes against the United States during or prior to Mr. Trump’s presidency. Though initially coy about his any plans for continued political involvement, the ex-President easily cleared the Republican field
