What is liminality?

[midnight rambler]

"Radical changes of identity, happening suddenly and in very brief intervals of time, have proved more deadly and destructive of human values than wars fought with hardware weapons." —Marshall McLuhan, Laws of Media: The New Science

"The attributes of liminality are necessarily ambiguous. . . Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention and ceremonial." —Victor Turner, The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure (95)

Liminality... nice to finally have a word to describe the weirdness of the world today. Thanks for posting this.

The roots of liminal and limbo are cousins. Mass liminality occurs usually due to natural events in the human experience. Today's liminality is largely un-natural Cultural Bolshevism.

Oswald Spengler addressed the phenomenon without using the term. Bolshevists have taken advantage of the metastability of 20th Century civilization, and shoved it toward their goals.

The term you are using “Cultural Bolshevism” is of course more correct than “Cultural Marxism” as it has nothing to do with Marx as he was long gone when it was started/developed in the 30’s...

My insistence on using Cultural Bolshevism is because of my Not-zee ideological heritage. :)

It also reflects the unbroken line of enemies of humanity since the "Russian" (sic) Social Democratic Labor Party, later the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and popularly known as the Bolsheviks.

Just as I am not "neo-" anything, these fucks who aim to kill us are not "neo-Marxists" (nor, "neo-Bolshevists"). Same shit, different era.
