“‘This is more than likely from Democratic MK ultra forces from above,’ m3Me*Magic wrote on [reddit’s] The*Donald. ‘I highly doubt Swift decided to become political at the 11th hour all on her own.’”
The “11th hour” is the perfect chronotope for a permanent state of emergency, because it can always be the 11th hour. Whenever an event disrupts rightists’ imaginary march to victory, they can declare it to be the “11th hour” and — voila! — instant mystery. Easy to laugh at, but don’t, because it perfectly encapsulates degree-zero historical consciousness — exactly the opposite of what’s needed to respond to climate change.
