Miley Cyrus, Dugin and Twin Peaks: signs in the pop synchronicity?
Nothing happens by chance, conspiracy theorists declare. On the very day Miley Cyrus releases her new album, Alexander Dugin tweets about Twin Peaks. The coincidence is real, even if its meaning depends on where you look from.
The day pop culture crossed paths with Eurasianism
The elements are all there: Billy Ray Cyrus, the family patriarch, would have appeared in Mulholland Drive – yes, the David Lynch film – while Dugin, the Kremlinologists' favourite philosopher, wrote about the return of Laura Palmer. Lynch himself, come to that, put This Mortal Coil and Elizabeth Fraser on the soundtrack of his universe, and Dave Grohl ended up playing on an album linked to that circle. Too many points in common, depending on who you ask.
What does a coincidence prove?
Synchronicities like this one are eagerly hunted in conspiracy circles, but the evidence amounts to a handful of dates and names. Nobody explains what mechanism would link a pop star to the ideologue of Russia's Third Way. As for Billy Ray Cyrus in Mulholland Drive, there is no clear record of him being in the cast. But that doesn't matter: the absence of proof has never stopped a good theory.
What they call "signs" is often just the background noise of culture. The next coincidence is already underway.
