NEFX - Turrahan.txt ? But it is actually beings at large, and being-as-such, that wins this. ? Yet by the key icon position’s inevitable ascension, provisional necessity can be met and emancipatory impulses of beings at large at least temporarily absorbed and tamed not only by the granting of concessions (however hollow), but by the purposeful ascension to in part grant concessions (be this inevitably for the ultimate pyrrhic goal of total power-seizure that is the Blightgeistian impulse impelling the agent towards the iconic position or any position within the halls of officiality in the first place) and with the ingrained association in the pubic mind of the icon with anything good that happens and in particular any concessions won. ? It cannot be expected that even the baseline equilibrium established would hold given the illegitimate power-thirsts at stake, even if concessions are won along the way (thanks in large part to the principles, dedication, sacrifice, and agitation of beings at large, often for being-as-such). ? Yet inevitably each gains some form of eminence over the other, which is to say they gain eminence in general, which may well be their respective intent anyway. ? Furthermore, it has a scapegoat as well as a hero in the form of the key icon Blightgeistian agent of the territorialist faction, because said icon is most visible and thus indeed most given to the vagaries of ego (especially given the nature of the official system and its parent the Blightgeist), not to mention already in the form of beings-at-large (which is part of the premise of not just the Blightgeist, but territorialist factions in particular and even many official systems formed thereby). ? Starting from the very premise of an official system not being trustworthy (that is to say, insofar as it does inevitably by at least mortal imperfect folly allow for some level of deviation from the subject here, the key Blightgeistian agent in question who is imagining if not trying to run it), the territorialist faction rather that it exist but be constantly inhibited than that it be transcended, and here they are operating along faultlines of mercenary total pyrrhic power-seizure. ? Indeed, this is partly by design. ? The natural tension here between the covertly overt and the overtly covert cannot but be pyrrhic. ? In the first place every faction’s key Blightgeistian agent within the halls of officiality must grapple with the key icon agent. ? Each of these may be given a distinctive role to help inculcate the notion of a supposed universal objectivity, balance, and rightly and carefully allocated possible roles in the operating of the official system. ? All this is not even to account for the interactions and negotiations that happen between said key agents of deception and the various other branches and sub-branches of the official system of a territorialist faction. ? Yet such are the wares of the Blightgeist anyway that is predicated against being-as-such. ? The actual scene is one of nebulous grinding compromise in a mutually deaf clambering for private schemes that are, in an uncanny valley fashion, pretending in each case to both the public and to each other to be participating in a liberty-driven and good-natured cooperation for a greater good that cannot even be wrought from the system given. ? Where it conceivably is principled, it is only in acccordance with the preset expectations of the stated principles of the sub-faction to which the agent belongs, a sign both of thought-funneling and action-funneling. ? Thus we find that in respect of principle and allowedness by circumstance the actual principled official input is quite wanting in the halls of officiality. ? This is heedless to the actual existential or concrete effect of any one of them, let alone their collective incoherence. ? Desperate and deadlocked as the key agents are with respect to each other and in their respective individual tarrying with the system they find themselves mired in, and scheming for their own potential eventual seat atop of an ultimately pyrrhic throne, they may collude for the realization of each of their respective official inputs made concrete in the public and societal sphere by realizing them all. ? Specifically, they are an agent of mercenary interest in a society of mercenary interest such as gave rise to them as a key agent, and so they are bound to a degree to satisfy such interests of the official overseers of that domain from different ends of the halls of officiality (while gaining public favor among the massly conditioned and feigining interest in the common good through technical material tribute of some sort that elides over the actual long-term structural and existential issues plaguing beings at large which those beings themselves would be more suited to address, even if the tribute is provisionally necessary for the short-term due to the immediate needs and deserved rewards of beings-at-large). ? To varying degrees within certain official systems of territorialist factions of the Blightgeist, official inputs by those within the halls of officiality — decisions nominally both in service of principle and allowed by it — are actually byproducts not only of mercenary interest (such as drove a key agent to their position in the first place) but of practicality to that end, such as in submitting official inputs in favor of each other in hopes of reciprocation that will advance their own selfish schemes; and such practical needs for the key agent’s schemes may include to take a resource-spending project back to the spatial domain to which they have been assigned.
