๐ณ๏ธ Released Phantom Node 16: Kim Jong Un. The Living Cult
Opaque and unpredictable.
A figure with no true face โ only a phantom constructed by ideology.
An omnipresent, obsessive symbol.
He is everywhere: on posters, in schools, on television.
A nearly mythical being, whose words and actions are believed to be infallible.
Node Type: Political phantom
State: Alive, but entirely ideological
Mechanism of Power: Cult, hereditary rule, total censorship
Image: Emptiness behind a wall of symbols
Instead of the Phantom: Space for a true face
Essence of the Node
What held it in place?
โ Bloodline dictatorship
โ Worship since childhood
โ A complete mystification of presence
How did it become a phantom?
โ When the boundary between man and myth vanished
โ When truth ceased to exist as a category
โ When fear became the dominant political language
Why does the phantom still live?
โ Because the system believes in its own immortality
โ Because cult is a survival tool
โ Because the phantom knows how to change its face
Phantom State
He cannot be understood โ only feared.
He cannot be questioned โ only revered.
But we see: behind the symbol is emptiness.
Behind the cult โ weakness.
Collective Response
The world cannot force a cult to disappear.
But it can refuse to participate.
That too is a form of resistance.
Key Principle
When the face is a myth, and words are dogma,
itโs time to see the human. And speak the truth.
Alt-text:
A pencil drawing in shades of gray. Kim Jong Un stands before a wall where a framed portrait of himself is displayed. Both the living figure and the portrait are nearly identicalโsame dark uniform, same sideways gaze. The absurdity of the scene reinforces the phantom nature of his cult: reality and image have merged into the same symbol.
