      They also disrupt something else - the equilibrium of expectations that ties together a stable ruling class This is easiest to understand when the hegemon gets offed, and then all its puppets are paralyzed b/c all their contingency plans relied on their sponsor

      But that is just a special case of “rules ppl expect to rely on in protecting their turf evaporate”; when the rule is just “ppl like us always win in the end”, that causes paralysis too!

      regimes always rely on promises of future favors to recruit their coalitions, that assumes they’ll be distributing favor in the future, that assumes they’ll win

      when they face the problem not just of rallying the boys against a bunch of desperate, arrogant scoundrels, but of convincing them - no, of figuring out who *needs to be convinced* they can still win: paralysis it’s not an easy problem to solve.

      if they’ve never thought about it before they might just give up - or might not even realize if they don’t act, it’s already too late - or might just abandon ship and cut their own losses

      this is a problem that exists all up and down the hierarchy of w/e grp is defending some status quo; the foreign minister doesn’t want to be on the train to switzerland with a briefcase of bearer bonds if the police chief and the king stay firm

      ... but he also doesn’t want to be dictating orders in his offices when the king and the police chief have already crossed the border

      The first revolution is absurd and unpredictable; the first wave of imitators creates an experience closer to vertigo, as ppl whipsaw b/w “impossible!” and “inevitable!”

      what i say about the many levels of defenders of a status quo applies to the levels, layers, perspectives of the challengers as well

      what I’m outlining here is the simplest possible model of a very complex phenomenon if you can actually grasp how it’s simple, you can see how it apply it; but if not... 🤷‍♂️

      for example; what was the first novelty (the original “model”) that inaugurated the age of Trump? Trump’s victory? Which - November or May? Or had it already happened before the first primary, in December? (Was it maybe Brexit, that summer? - Or not something political at all?)

          there’s no right answer; different ppl see different problems, and different chokepoints and time-horizons of stability. depending on which aspect is salient to your model of the status quo, you notice different acts as novelties, improbable triumphs

          so the whole dissident right is like the scales on a snake, overlapping in their models of what is exemplary, admirable, maybe imitable; but each oriented at a slightly different angle, towards a different aspect of the ruling class
