N-Gate
A couple of weeks ago, based-anon Skeletal Kashi, a long time friend of Apostate Gallery, delivered perhaps the definitive account of the meta-political implications of ‘Nigger Gate’ — Joe Rogan’s apologyocalypse, which singlehandedly torched his ‘dissident’ status.
Rogan’s utter, self-humiliating, capitulation to the Regime provided Kashi with the ideal exemplar of what a devastating political weapon the N-word had become. However, what made his analysis exceptional was the precision with which he dissected the N-word’s philosophical / occult underpinnings.
The Regime functions on a Neoreligious OS, which runs a ‘negrolatry’ control protocol. White people, out of guilt inculcated by the ‘original sin’ of slavery, inter-spliced with the mythology of Nazi eugenics, have imbued black people with the status of ‘sacred objects’ within a ‘white guilt’ based belief system / theology.
Negrolatry is the worship / holding scared of black people by white people under the current Regime. Other groups / people (e.g. women, gays, trans and Jews) are also held sacred, but black people occupy a special place / role within the theology of the system, which provides the metaphysical underpinnings legitimating / organising surface level operational vectors of jurisdiction / control.
Kashi is exceptionally clear on the weaponised dualism of The Word. Put simply, one class of people (black people) are permitted to say The Word freely, with pride and wild abandon, ostensibly in order to ‘reclaim’ The Word from their white oppressors / overlords. Meanwhile, another class of people (white people) are forbidden, on pain of death, from uttering The Word. If they choose to do so regardless, then firing / cancellation and social ostracisation are all encoded as appropriate / mandatory remedial consequences for what is essentially the transgression of Neoreligious taboo.
For Kashi, Rogan’s ritualised / pseudo-volitional, self-abnegation provided the perfect proof-of-work of the fundamentally asymmetrical, weaponised dualism of The Word.
Below Apostate Gallery has reproduced Kashi’s ‘On Saying the N-word’ Twitter thread in full (please don’t forget to click through and give him a follow):
Apostate Gallery is somewhat less optimistic than Kashi on the question of ‘adults in the room’ rationally persuading the Regime to abandon the theological trap of racialised language games, which have become central to its metaphysical underpinnings / condition.
As Nick Land wrote over a decade ago in his Dark Enlightenment series of essays:
At its most abstract and all-encompassing, the liberal-progressive racial dialectic abolishes its outside, along with any possibility of principled consistency. It asserts — at one and the same time — that race does not exist, and that its socially-constructed pseudo-existence is an instrument of inter-racial violence. Racial recognition is both mandatory, and forbidden. Racial identities are meticulously catalogued for purposes of social remedy, hate crime detection, and disparate impact studies, targeting groups for ‘positive discrimination’, ‘affirmative action’, or ‘diversity promotion’ (to list these terms in their rough order of historical substitution), even as they are denounced as meaningless (by the United Nations, no less), and dismissed as malicious stereotypes, corresponding to nothing real. Extreme racial sensitivity and absolute racial desensitization are demanded simultaneously. Race is everything and nothing. There is no way out.
Race and its linguistic signifiers are an operationalised theological trap, predicated on contradictions heightened to the status of paradox. A literally maddening minefield of identity politic doublespeak. A Schrödingerian sign-based control protocol, which employs systematised semiotic relativity, combined with the higher-function of the sovereign Regime to decide the exception. A system of anti-rectification, which administers punitive intermissions of transitory rectification, momentarily illuminating the semantic shadows in which Power conceals itself.
There is, of course, much more to be said about all this. Apostate Galley intends to dig deeper into the semiotic contradictions, which act as Schrödingerian nodes, within the Neoreligious mainframe running the Regime’s control protocols.
