Buddhists often talk about something that sounds counter-intuitive but is actually most profound: “The mind is a prison”. According to this concept, all of us can become consumed by our own thoughts to the point where we become hijacked, ceasing to pay attention to real events and stimuli from our physical environment. We begin to … Continue reading The Dream That Humanity Is Unable To Wake Up From

A key pathology common among far-right voters is that they fundamentally believe that a society where every single person thrives cannot exist. There is a strong sense by these voters that there is only enough wealth to go around for a small segment of society, therefore someone else’s life has to be destroyed for them … Continue reading Fuck Around and Find Out: The Politics of Hate
Necrocapitalism hides its agenda behind the most colourful, mesmerizing shopfront, an endless theme park of consumerism our physical senses have zero chance of resisting: they succumb to the lights, the smells, the sounds and promises. Consumption becomes the intravenous narcotic numbing the pain of living in a sick society: the rent we struggle to pay, … Continue reading The Consumatronic Theme Park

A dystopia is what happens to a civilisation when it has stopped paying attention to reality. Then again, when were civilisations ever self-aware? However real the climate crisis may get, escapism into the Mind Prison will always get the better out of humans. By the time thousands perish daily, there will be too much hunger, … Continue reading Invisible Dystopias
In the same way it consumed natural resources to exhaustion, capitalism turned each human into a disposable pair of hands. All the crimes humanity perpetrated on this planet, it has also perpetrated on itself: destruction, extinction and exploitation are not side effects but essential elements of this civilisation’s operating system. We live in a … Continue reading The Human Necrocapital
As the fascist US regime continues to violate one Federal Law after another, the LGBTQ community is unsurprisingly at the centre of the storm, and shy of undergoing Hitler-style active persecutions by the way things are progressing. Everything LGBTQ is being demolished right now: from HIV research to gender-change passport documents. There is a reason … Continue reading Everyone Is Queer Now
The trouble with currencies is that they assess and assign value in unfair, arbitrary ways, usually based on availability of supply. Because of this uncoupling between the abstract and actual value of things, everything which is monetized eventually becomes either devalued or overvalued. The destruction of natural resources and invention of single-use throwaway products are … Continue reading Money as an Agent of Death
I was born in Greece in 1973, seven months before the dictatorship ended. So technically, I have lived through a dictatorship. The 80s was a time when memories of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet, Papadopoulos and countless other psychofascists were still pretty raw. Although people in my generation may not have experienced dictatorship directly as adults, … Continue reading Americans: You Can Have Your Dictatorship Back Now, Thanks Very Much
