Miquella, also known as “Miquella, the Kind,” “Miquella of the Haligtree”, among other aliases and possibly alternate identities (iykyk) is a pseudo-Messianic figure in the universe of Miyazaki’s Elden Ring. During a pivotal point in the narrative, (but already well before the player arrives on the scene) and at the height of his powers, Miquella goes missing. Foul play is expected. In the same way, in 196x, at the height of his influence as founder of the Black Panther Self-Defense Party (and certainly, adding to his notereity), Huey Newton was arrested after a traffic stop turned into a shoot-out, leading to the death of one of the officers. This lead to national and international outrage, the Panthers organizing protests and the slogan of, "Free Huey", could be found ringing as far afield as Maoist China and Palestine. His arrest was seen at the time as a zeitgeist moment for the African-American public, and there was growing fear that, were Huey to be released, he would free the modern Black from the chains of American tyranny and lead the Revolution that would ultimately result in the Socialist reimagining of our Union. Of course, this did not happen. Huey, upon release, resumed his duties with the Black Panthers, but did not lead the pseudo-Messianic revolution the people expected. During his time in prison, targeted federal operations (COINTEL PRO) lead to severe in-fighting between Black Panthers, and the death of many of its leaders. When he was released in 1970, times were different. He did not take up the banner of Messiah. A relevant quote from former Black Panther Hugh Pearson can be found below. I believe it explains the Spirit of the time better than I can as an external, non-contemporaneous Observer: <blockquote> <em> "Yeah they freed Huey. Then Huey came out and they wanted Huey to free them and I keep trying to tell the people, I say people, that's the true power of the people, you freed me, you freed Huey, now why don't you all go ahead and free yourself? But see, they can't do that can they? They can't do that cause the people always have to create what they call a leader and a leader is everything that the people want to be but the leader is everything that the people can never be so then when the leader fails, he's gonna fail, he's just flesh and blood, he's gonna fail, when the leader fails then the whole construction of the concept of leadership fails and then it just becomes a matter of contempt. And that's when they assassinate you and then put your image on a postage stamp so they can keep lickin' you in the grave."

Some of his most fervent followers were the so-called Albinaurics (see footnote [[5]]). > [[Return->I. On the Engineered Decline of Revolutionary Messianic Figures]]

The common cultural perception of Malcolm X as the "violent" Civil Rights leader and Martin Luther King Jr. as the "peaceful" one is a myth that has been perpetuated for far too long. This oversimplified narrative is something many Americans [[were taught during their school years->https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1992/11/18/teaching-malcolm-x-pbfbor-most-students/#:~:text=King%20quickly%20realized%20that%20the,view%2Dpoint%20of%20that%20organization]], and it has been reinforced even in Black communities through targeted educational goals in this way. In reality, the views of both leaders existed on a spectrum. While Malcolm X did advocate for the right of Black people to use violence in self-defense against racial aggression from White people, he did not call for an immediate violent revolution or vigilante justice. In fact, he praised the Nation of Islam for its avoidance of violent crime (at least to the best of his knowledge). Most of his rhetoric emphasized that the restraint shown by Black people in America, despite the violence and oppression they faced, is the only reason there hasn’t been more violence. In other words, Malcolm X's perspective on violence was more prophetic than prescriptive. Don’t take my word for it; let him speak for himself: [[here->https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GqfmGy0eQ_FTUhyfFzS35kN1Fn-kw0RD/view?usp=sharing]]. > [[Return->I.

In German, all nouns are capitalized by default [source] (the way we capitalize proper nouns like names in English). Additionally, in the German Continental philosophy tradition, it is common for a philosopher to define specialized terminology to explain their position. As a result, German philosophy in translation often has a lot of terminology that retains its capitalization to distinguish these specialized terms (which often take the form of normal, everyday concepts like “Reason” or “Spirit” (I’m looking at you, Hegel)) from similar words meant in their non-specialized use case. This is not a German example, but see the Deleuze "Dictionary" for an example of how out of hand these kinds of "definitions in translation" can become (though in this case, from French to English).

See Moshfegh, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation”, page 62: <blockquote> <em> “…I dreamt that I lathered up my mother’s pubic hair with a bar of Ivory soap in the shower, then pulled a tangle of hair out of her vagina.

That is what I could place at your feet one day. That is what I could lay at the mouth of the final gate, say, <em>into the dark I brought a light. Into the dirt, I brought a shovel.</em>

<u> Excerpt: </u> <blockquote> <i>The body without organs now falls back on (se rabat sin) desiring-production, attracts it, and appropriates it for its own. The organ-machines now cling to the body without organs as though it were a fencer's padded jacket, or as though these organ-machines were medals pinned onto the jersey of a wrestler who makes them jingle as he starts toward his opponent. An attraction-machine now takes the place, or may take the place, of a repulsion-machine: a miraculating-machine succeeding the paranoiac machine. But what is meant here by "succeeding"? The two coexist, rather, and black humor does not attempt to resolve contradictions, but to make it so that there are none, and never were any. The body without organs, the unproductive, the unconsumable, serves as a surface for the recording of the entire process of production of desire, so that desiring-machines seem to emanate from it in the apparent objective movement that establishes a relationship between the machines and the body without organs. The organs are regenerated, "miraculated". </i> </blockquote> --- Deleuze, Gilles, and Félix Guattari. Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Translated by Robert Hurley, Mark Seem, and Helen R. Lane, University of Minnesota Press, 1983.

Excerpt: <i><blockquote>“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”</blockquote></i> ― Smedley D.
