The Triumph of the Establishment

That the term Establishment has come to refer to so many individuals, all of whom have a large stake in the continuation of their order, is an indication above all that the Establishment was a successful operation.

We should not confuse the disorder at the end of its tenure as indicative of failure. Rather it is a sign of just how big and important the Establishment came to be, and of how many people bought into it, in the end.

It was so successful that the end of the Establishment is terrifying not only to the individuals within it, but to just about everyone else as well, even its severest critics. This is because the Establishment was able to embed itself so thoroughly in the process of normal stability, within the mind of the public. That is why the end of the Establishment looms so horribly in so many people's mind. They cannot imagine a stable, normal world, as they have come to expect it to be, without the Establishment continuing to exist.

History proves however that stability and normalcy, as we have come to define it generally in the West, is the exception rather than the rule. In our historical consciousness we all realize this, and thus the idea that our "special" stability could be revoked, and we would return to a more normal period of want and death, etc., surely drives much of the crazed fear that is happening, up and down the political spectrum.

Both major political parties are completely infested by the Establishment. They both are fighting with all their might to keep the Establishment in charge. So is all the mainstream media. So is almost all of credentialed academia.

Everyone is fighting to keep it going. Liberal Democrats and Conservative Republicans now fight alongside each other, back to back like two front lines collapsing on a Reich. It was not supposed to be this way, in the original plan. That's probably the only thing that the Establishment really ever failed at, was how to make itself eternal.
