Islam in the 21st Century has seen the emergence of two new major aesthetic and ideological forms of the religion - ‘Mr. Beast Islam’ and ‘Rubber Dinghy Rapids Islam’. Both exist along the same spectrum but represent two very different evolutions for Islam under hypermodernity Image
‘Mr. Beast Islam’ is the aesthetic and ideological evolution of Islam especially in the Gulf - in wealthy, increasingly liberal, demographically secure and competently governed ‘Basically Fine’ often previously quite hardline Islamist states

‘Rubber Dinghy Rapids Islam’ is the aesthetic and ideological evolution of Islam especially in Islamic diaspora populations in the liberal west - often from poorer migrant backgrounds with less sophisticated versions of Islam in societies where as deracinated minority populations they cling to increasingly hardline interpretations of that Islam as an in-group identifierImage

‘Mr. Beast Islam’ is one of the main aesthetic and ideological variants of Islam today. It represents the development Islamic forms have undertaken in the wealthy Arab Gulf and so, downstream of that, will be the form that Islam takes in many places in hypermodernity Image
‘Mr. Beast Islam’ and Dubai Airport
Islam under hypermodernity will see two new major aesthetic and ideological evolutions of historic Islamic forms competing for aesthetic and ideological supremacy across the Ummah - Mr. Beast Islam and Rubber Dinghy Rapids Islam

Some commentators will critique people who move from their British provincial towns to places like Dubai as ‘Rootless Cosmopolitans’. Sorry we live in Hypermodernity we are all ‘Rootless Cosmopolitans’ now. With so many forces aligned against you what incentive is there to stay? Image
Point I make sometimes recently with ‘Nobodycaresanymoreism’ - if you are person inclined to believe in the inveterate bonds of community, nation, ethnos etc. you might be disappointed to find that in some cases many people actually have a revealed preference for hypermodernity
Spot the difference Image

Idea of ‘Dubai’ sends certain kind of person apoplectic. Suggest it can offer real quality of life improvements for many British migrants, a red mist will descend and you will be subjected to rant about lack of real culture or importance of paying tax. They hate seeing others win Image
If you are a lower-middle from Scunthorpe and you could choose to live either in Scunthorpe or in Dubai why in many cases would you not choose Dubai. Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson are not currently resident in Scunthorpe either if you want to make the ‘culture’ argument Image
Sam Gowland AKA Deano has left his highly-cultured home city of Middlesbrough and moved to Dubai IRL. He lives there with his new model girlfriend and is also now a multimillionaire via his property investment portfolio Image

WHY I LOVE DUBAI AIRPORT 🇦🇪

Don’t know if you have ever been in Dubai airport before, you might have been - maybe transferring flights or even visiting Dubai. A lot of people like to sneer at Dubai because of its Mr. Beast Islamofuturism aesthetic - I find this aesthetic kind of fun but okay fine that’s your prerogative - but I think difficult to deny the technical achievement that is Dubai, both the city proper and then the airport specifically

I really do think Dubai airport especially is an incredible technical achievement. Logistically in terms of the flight-load they handle to all kinds of weird destinations but also I mean there are few places in the world where you get such concentrated hypermodernity as this. In that sense I don’t just mean the Mr. Beast Islamofuturism building design but how moseisleycantina-maxxed the people passing through the airport are. Genuinely, even in London or New York you would struggle to find places that are this dense with such an eclectic collection of the races

First time I went there I was in awe, you sit by the Emirates departures gates and you have what feels like literally everyone from literally everywhere in the world walking by - it’s like a real-life DK Eyewitness Peoples of the World book brought to life in front of your eyes. Later times when I was there I would sometimes go and get a coffee and then sit by one of the main thoroughfares and just watch the passengers walk by and try and guess their home countries and ethnicities, play a real life ethnoguessr. And to re-emphasise the point in this way you can have a Pashtun, a Chechen, a Hakka, a Dinka, a Tongan and an Irishman pass you by in the space of about 15 seconds there

Really, to get all these people in one place in this way for possibly the first time in human history… it’s a huge achievementImage
