Traditional Politics and Japanese Theater

WHEN I watch politicos/cas take the stage and spew the “good” words, I can't help but see Kabuki actors and actresses or I feel like I am afront a Noh theater. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by its performers. Kabuki is sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." Noh (or Nogaku, derived from the Sino-Japanese word for "skill" or "talent") integrates masks, costumes and various props in a dance-based performance. Emotions are primarily conveyed by stylized conventional gestures while the iconic masks represent the roles such as ghosts, women, children, and old people. In Kabuki and Noh, emotions are “canned” or pre-programmed, sort of. 

          LIKE highly-skilled politicians who sweetly “mouth” espousals to effectively convey or deliver messages based on partyline standards while they boogie on giant platforms. Left or right, conservative or liberal. Like emotional extremes in Japanese traditional theater. The public (a.k.a. voters) are enjoined or enthused to choose a leader on the basis of those overlying modes. You are Right if you think like this and vice versa. Bottomline, it's pretty much the 1 percenter's way of reassessing the market demographics—since they fund both sides on the campaign trail.
         WE are consumers of politics, consumers of goods. It's like it doesn't really matter if you are gluten-free, anti-GMO or you dig antibiotics on lamb chops. The 1 percent Masters of the Universe is selling you both. Win win, dig? But the political stage's conventional wisdom says, you vote by way of polar ends. But who decides the outcome? Of course, you know that already—you just don't want to say because who wants to be stereotyped as this and that? Bottomline, enjoy the show! You don't need to fight with your friend just because he is GOP and you aren't. Or why diss a candidate just because her roots is India and his lineage is Kenyan? It's all theater. They are playing as per opposite roles to serve a central theme. Dig?
