The United States of America. "Uncle Sam". The United States, like the British Empire with "John Bull", got its aggressively masculine avatar. But the feminine avatar of the United States, Columbia...where is she? Mostly she's a fascist dystopia in a video game.
Now I know why I can't really avoid playing #BioShock Infinite: it's in my brief to investigate mythopoeia in video games, more or less, and putting Columbia into a holding pattern, a loop in time...that was a nifty trick. It's a unique achievement in #videogames, you have to admit that! BioShock Infinite is powered by the memory of a folk goddess, the American genius loci: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_(personification)
And yes, I take such things very seriously: I can feel the power that quivers in such spiritual entities, and I choose to honor it as best I can. The reader is free to tell me that I am simply non compos mentis.
Things are coming to a head, and it's hopefully time to break free.
