Duncey Putin

Duncey Putin

Like Raskolnikov, an archetypal dunce who seldom learns. “Duncey Putin” is the author’s archetypal name for Vladimir Putin — a Village Fool, an identity in Germanic culture going back millennia, trapped in private cycles of hell without self-knowledge.

The Archetype

Of what is Duncey Putin’s Mana composed? His energy. What is it? A Dunce is a Village Fool. An archetypal identity in Germanic culture going back millennia. I remember studying the transmission of ideas in the early German reformation as an undergraduate — and the Ship of Fools image was a common one in 1520s Wittenberg.

The Dunce Who Never Learns

Putin like the ingenue village idiot in any folktale never learns. Like Raskalnikov in Crime and Punishment Duncey Putin is a St Petersburg Law student who didn’t study very hard. Like Raskalnikov Duncey Putin thinks he can murder women, and get away with it. Like Raskalnikov Duncey Putin keeps trying the same tactic day after day meat assault after meat assault in the hope that one day he’ll get lucky.

The Chief Sorcerer Loses His Mana

Until recently “Right” resided in the Chief Sorcerer Putin. He controlled the State Disinfolklore assets. His people controlled the content creators.

And this is why Putin the Chief Sorcerer has lost.

The Plight of the Sorcerer

The “Plight of the Sorcerer” is a millennium-old Indo-European myth pattern: the master’s apprentice grows too powerful and threatens the master himself. This archetypal story played out in real time when Prigozhin’s Wagner forces marched on Moscow — predicted three weeks in advance using Dumézilian mythology. See Chief Sorcerer & Chef Saucerer.
