Spectacle as Trito Inversion

Self-declared pantomime villains (Trump, Farage, Braverman, Johnson, MAGA) neg once serious countries into suicidal policies while hypnotised voters Look Over There. Everything is popcorn. A game. A spectator sport. “What will happen next, if we vote for Trump?” When we watch films usually we know the end point: the mouse always wins. It’s the journey that entrances us. This is the escape of story telling Trump, Putin, horse-race journalism wants us to entrap ourselves inside. The oldest most repeated story inside the Indo-European cultural zone — the Trito Myth — is the archetypal shadow-structure inside our minds for this “journey.”

Links the Trito Myth directly to the concept of Spectacle. The “popcorn” metaphor shows how Disinfolklore transforms us from Trito (the active hero) into passive cinema-goers watching our own civilisational destruction as entertainment.
