One should really be endowed by an heroine lordly spirit for putting an ultimate wedge to the extradition of Assange,
This wedge could be put either by gathering a brave group of British people ready to fight and storm the Belmarsh Jail (which is located 18 km away from the center of London, where people could first gather in Trafalgar Square and start a march —but definitely not a parade— towards Belmarsh) to free Assange by also possibly completely turning down and burning the Belmarsh Jail (as it was previously done with Bastille, a little while ago, in Paris)… Or alternately, just by (refraining from) putting a signature by the politician in charge, that is, by Priti Patel.
Such a (refrain from) putting a wedge signature would be worth to such a big public uprising as storming the Belmarsh Jail and ruining it down.
The dignity of such a lordly act (either by an uprising by the red-blooded people or by the politician’s refrain from signing) would have come out of its actualization against the confirmed rogue state status of the UK, where the judges act not as lawyers but as the tiny puppets of transatlantic imperialist cooperation.
That’s what would have been called by Prof Slavoj Zizek, as ‘an authentic political act‘.
The authenticity in such a political act should have been defined not in relation to the natural attributes of the subject (being a WASP or a non-WASP) but in relation to a systemic feature/failure at the general politico-ideological constellation shaping the individual actions: a non-WASP (a black, brown, colorful, whatever) politician would have by no means less likely been the Subject of such an authentic political act (compared to a WASP politician or anyone so).
But when the actor infamously fails to act heroically, then the above formula doesn’t work symmetrically — and we should also note here that in such a case the act should either be heroic or infamous, there is no any alternate middle way between these two polar options. Everyone is equally capable to act heroically, no matter he or she is a WASP or a non-WASP individual.
But the opposite case is not symmetrical between WASP and non-WASP individuals: the act of failure becomes more infamous when it is committed by a non-WASP person. In our case with Priti Patel, just because she is a non-WASP politician, her act is more infamous than the WASP puppet judges who previously decreed for the extradition of Julian Assange.
Why this asymmetry?
The reason for this asymmetry is reciprocal determinism: There is a double circuitry between the personal infamy of Priti Patel and the infamous systemic pattern (the Western fake “democracy” league) peting the non-WASP people for its democracy flaunts. It is this double circuitry which agglomerates the infamy of the act when it is committed by a non-WASP personage. Thus, Priti Patel is infamous by not acting in an heroic way to wedge the extradition of Julian Assange as the puppet judges of the UK did beforehand. But her act is even more infamous, since she acts as a personage legitimizing a fake democracy, showing it off seemingly to function in a proper way by her own non-WASP attributes.
In our previous study on Kamala Harris we already examplified a similar story: her heroic stance against the capital punishment was only momentary, sporadic… then she also became an infamous puppet of systemic infamy.
Now let’s examine the outcomes of an hypothetical opposite case: What if Priti Patel would have shown the courage and virtue for putting a definite wedge on the extradition of Julian Assange?
As we mentioned above, her heroic act shouldn’t have been conceived in relation to her non-WASP attributes. On the contrary, she would have added an additional authentic pride on the British national pride. The logic here is similar to that of Pushkin’s case: no one remembers the African origins of Pushkin today. He is seen as more Russian than any Russian. And such examples are many in the history of big nations. This logic is what differs the fascist nationalism (a nation for itself) from a decent nation (a nation in itself) — the logic of building consciousness here is the opposite of the Marxian understanding of building consciousness for the working class.
Nonetheless, the monument of Julian Assange will be erected even higher over the infamy of the puppet judges of the UK and the extra-infamy of Priti Patel.
