Financial Contagion, Chinese Chicanery and Channeling Rage, etc.
In this panoramic pandemonium of death, disease and disruption, we ponder just WTF is unfolding before our eyes. The Wuhan Virus is a Kafkaesque fever dream of sequestering, festering and feeling deranged. THANKS, China!
First and foremost, China perpetrated a great crime against humanity by unleashing the Wuhan Virus on the world (wise up and watch this). For that, we say fuck the CPC! We’d also like to issue a resounding “Fuck You” to the WHO, a shameful monstrosity of an organization (part of the UN) masquerading as an uppity transnational actor but really a corrupt commie skanktank. We’re delighted that President Trump defunded that racket ($400 mil per year of US tax dollars up in smoke) and called out big cheese world health czar Tedros Adhanom’s dereliction of duty.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, btw, was a Maoist fucktard attached to the ultra violent Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front back in the day. That gruesome movement (watch this shit) was responsible for gross human right abuses, including torture, summary executions and electoral fraud.
During his tenure as the Ethiopian health minister, the ‘good doctor’ was famous for covering up multiple cholera outbreaks, cavorting with cheap hookers and absconding with ‘state’ booty. The Chinese heart ♡ him because he is a serial dirt dog, an expendable minion and corrupt to the bone.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology turned out to be a real-deal Umbrella Corp à la Resident Evil that reversed the mojo of modern life and exposed the hologram of the Middle Kingdom in all its swindles, skullduggery and Potemkin subterfuge. Like the USSR and Ethiopia, that great communist hologram machine was bound to break and the iridescent iconic hammer and sickle ☭ 共产党, emblazoned everywhere across China’s big Orwellian brig, is finally flickering out as the ‘Made in China’ contagion engulfs the globe. Perhaps China should adopt the now ubiquitous bat soup 🦇🍜 emoji as the country’s sovereign logo.
Consider the term “contagion” for a hot sec because it applies to your FB feed/Insta addiction, human populations, and financial markets — and in more ways than you can imagine. There’s a goddamn good reason why finance gurus and risk managers use the word “contagion” to describe a financial panic. Obviously, the word ‘contagion’ refers to an epidemic, pandemic or viral clusterfuck. In the context of the Wuhan Virus crisis, the illness can be shed from human to human through coughing/sneezing, shared needles, contaminated noodles or sexy-time involving bodily fluids.
An initial carrier of a disease (“patient zero”) may have many contacts before the disease even appears (know the term ‘prodrome’). Some diseases have an incubation period of two weeks or more, which means the index case can infect hundreds before health experts are even alerted to the bug. Then those hundreds can infect thousands or even millions before they are identified as carriers, and so on. Commentators and talking heads on TV have injected terms like ‘exponentiality’, ‘logarithmic scaling’ and epidemiological everything into our everyday convos — an immersive but vexing crash course in infectious diseases. Check out the IHME data, btw, if you’re interested in tracking the predictive models/code informing current health policies. The model is interesting but riddled with shortcomings. The McKinsey & Co. model is especially shot.
In extreme cases, such as the “Spanish flu” pandemic of 1918–20 involving the H1N1 influenza virus, the number infected can reach 500 million and the death toll can run over a whopping 100 million. A similar dynamic applies in financial panics, manias and booms.
How does this dynamic unfold? It can begin with one bank or brokerage house going bust (insolvent) as the result of a market collapse (a “financial patient zero”). But the financial distress quickly spreads to banks that did business with the failed entity and then to stockholders, hedge funds and depositors of those other banks and so on until the entire ecosystem is in the maddening grip of a financial panic as happened in 2008. Still, the comparison between medical pandemics and financial panics is more than a metaphor.
Disease contagion and financial contagion both work in the same manner. The nonlinear mathematics and system properties are identical in the two cases even though the “virus” is financial distress rather than a biological hijacker. But what happens when these two dynamic systems interact, or in the modern lingo, “when black swans collide?” What happens when a biological virus turns into a financial infection and plagues the global political-economy? Well, we’re experiencing it IRT as we stew and stagnate in paranoiac quarantine. This invisible scourge contaminates everything — even the air — wreaking havoc on existence and wrecking the mind, body and spirit at scale. Thanks, China/WHO, for your gross negligence and endemic shadiness.
This complex condition (pandemic ↔ finance ↔ political-economy ↔ existential vertigo) gives rise to further nonlinearities. It involves social disorder typified by pockets of discontent (unemployed rioters), wild bifurcations (capital markets/’sudden stop’ economics), resistance against tyrannical policies (Michigan protests), freaky feedback loops (international relations, interpersonal relationships, etc.) and unknown collateral damage. A financial meltdown is more than just economic. It leads to wide scale behavioral breakdown — an unraveling of the social fabric, both individually and collectively, that involves distrust, fraud, delinquent loans and decadent behavior driven by perverse incentives and prickly politics.
We’re about two weeks away from Kafkaesque insanity and raging entropy. The Roaring ’20s in the U.S. (with Al Capone and champagne baths) and Weimar Germany (with riots, cabaret culture and irredentism) are good examples of our iffy state of affairs. Looting, burglary, breadlines, violence, appeasement and hoarding loo paper in the midst of a state of emergency are the shape of things to come in America and elsewhere if emotions aren’t contained and adversaries aren’t countered.
Prolonged entropy could cascade into conflict, triggering a sizzling hot war between China and America (China would certainly get its face ripped off the moment things go kinetic) as globalization gets shocked and nations grow hostile. The PRC, afterall, is a ticking financial time-bomb and blackbox vortex of pent-up rage; it will go down in flames as Xi continues to mismanage things internally and externally. At VIVISXN, we believe the current leadership in Beijing will face a firing squad for crimes against humanity and premeditated murder in the wake of the Wuhan Virus coverup. China is the biggest state sponsor of pandemics and the world is quickly wising up to the deviltry and culpability of the reds.
America has its own devilish clutch of reds and resisters who seek to ruin the place. Who are these prickly players and wiley architects of oppression, uncertainty and decline? Well, Zombie Joe Biden, for one. Nervous Nancy, Burnt out Bernie and A.O.C. are other notorious hacks, of course, along with a rat pack of power-lusters who want to repurpose America as a padded cell (‘safe space’) and new age panopticon. They are the psychotic avatars of Wokesterdom leading a search + destroy mission to the precipice of that cliff of electoral catastrophe — in advance of the poor pawns who are inclined to mindlessly follow them over the edge, like so many deathcult lemmings.
A Trump victory is now inevitable no matter who the Dems hastily pony up in place of Crazy Ole’ Joe, so get used to it. Bernie Sanders was a piss poor ‘revolutionary‘ anyway, preoccupied with Venezuelizing as much of America as possible and chasing waterfalls like the Green New Deal, free everything for everyone and trans-topian ideology. The old Decepticon was non compos mentis long before he threw in the towel, and unfortunately a cheerleader for Noam Chomsky, Bolshevism and political coercion — all inimical to the American way of life. Good riddance. Joe Biden is equally nonplussed, corrupt and in deep cognitive decline. Sad.
No doubt the journey going forward will be fraught with intense friction and inordinate angst, especially as the pinkos, PC police and media mob keep giving aid and comfort to the shock troops of Wokesterdom, the AntiFas, the Chinese politburo and other enemies of the West. There is a sense of dread in the ether and an evil phantom lurking in this seemingly never-ending twilight zone of pandemic life.
The American political hustle with Trump as the “arch-villain/incompetent crisis manager” is getting rather stale and it’s a sure loser for the anti-Trump mob. Why they can’t move beyond the fact that POTUS is a MEGA success (even with the Wuhan Virus crisis that China spontaneously gifted the world) and engage with the many other mighty matters of our time is one of those abiding mysteries of life, like why Marxists still prattle endlessly about socio-economic nirvana, or why the Chinese can’t stop drooling over the bat meat and pangolin innards glistening in their funky wet markets, or why fashion (like below – Off-White) is pretty much meaningless.
Anyway, the veneer of civilization is paper-thin and easily ruptured. Most people don’t realize how vulnerable everything is, and just how fast the cookie can crumble. But we’re all learning pretty fookin’ fast.
