       all of us in the Pnictogen Collective have talked rather freely about ideals, and idols...mostly on Twitter, when we're butting heads with politicians and punditsperhaps it's time to get some of our thinking down in a more concrete form. perhaps it may be useful to others :=3what has been particularly striking to me, in observing the eruption of fascism into the open again, has been how it works by parasitizing an _ideal_, and turning it into a mere _idol_

       what do I mean by this?I think all of us who inhabit virtual or imaginative or spiritual spaces (I am, after all, an invisible unicorn ;=3 whatever else I might be) accept that ideals are real and solid things. there ARE such things are dragons. there ARE such things as Freedom and Justice and Determinationin the orthocosm, however, we can only encounter approximations of ideals. we imagine perfect lines and circles but we _see_ smudged and uneven scribbles

       humble persons inhabiting healthy societies in the orthocosm accept that ideals exist only in the world of the imagination. it is not possible to exist in matter AND be ideal. the Universe is fundamentally blurry; quantum mechanics teaches that. time and chance happeneth to us allfascists, however, want to believe that it's possible to shape the material world into a literal embodiment of its idealsit divides the material world into the ideal and the non-ideal
