Specter of Feudalism

I’m sorry but, for me, this descriptive conjures feudal warfare instead of baseball.
Probably just me making mountains out of molehills.

This blogpost was supposed to be about the current, potential ban of TikTok™ by the United States. [Yea, supposedly, the one and the same United States as the republic-minded, Democratic, commendable United States of yore.]
Below is the post as far as I’m taking it. It seems more poetic than prosaic, certainly lugubrious. I’m not entirely deaf to its ridiculousness but, on the other hand, the foundational steps of any stadial can’t really be claimed as ‘ridiculous’.

The tyrannical Protestant See continues. If, in antiquity, it claimed validity as an alternative to the Roman Empire and the Catholic See, the Protestant See beclouded its own antecedent maleficence at Lindisfarne .

The influx of Europeans to the newly discovered America, despite being an attempt to flee the maleficence, became the stepping stone expediting the maleficence.

Native-Americans became inured; Imperialism became viable rather than risky.

Despite the growing terminative of the Reforms didactic, other Sees – immanently rooted – continued, rather than to descend into volatile apostasy.

Yeats ‘the centre cannot hold’ proved oracular;1 WWs I and II. The inebriated consequent of materialism as Ambrosia.

How long to recover of a drunken stupor? Tomorrow? Four days ago? The eternal return?

America . . . allegedly. Sell to this alleged ‘America’ . . . or else.

First World. Eminent. Untrustworthy. Laughing stock. Nominals of America by everyone but Americans.

Make America Great Again is the sell, elide America the intent.

Maybe a new See. A secular humanist See.

Why any See? As prescriptive of materialism as being Ambrosia?

Only the primordial is Divine.

The day non-Native Americans are banned from North America is the day I advocate TikTok™ being banned from North America . . .er, excuse me . . . the ‘United States’, not before.
