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
The industrial revolution was the time when this civilisation completely lost it. Like a virus, it became more concerned with making infinite copies of itself than contemplate the meaning and purpose of that which it made copies of. Narratives of perpetual economic growth and procreation were aggressively pushed by the psychonomy to continue making photocopied … Continue reading The Corruption of Happiness
The shameless hypocrisy of authority is that it will always care more about itself than the people it was meant to represent. This self-interest has always brought authority in closer affinity to other forms of power such as capital, rather than to its people. Power only collaborates with power. The alliance between the main two … Continue reading Power, Capital, and Self-Destruction
The reason Earth’s economy never endures boom-and-bust cycles is that everything in nature is reusable: someone's trash becomes someone else's food, on a planet where it is impossible for an ecosystem to ever go bankrupt. The remarkable feat of 10 million species coexisting in a small planet has only been possible because Earth long ago … Continue reading Earthconomics 101: There Is a Killer on the Loose
We have every reason to wish to dismantle an economic system which has become an existential threat to both humans and the planet. Any economic system which sees nature and human rights as threats to its bottom line is ultimately a threat to nature, humans and itself. Necrocapitalism has no loyalties, alliances, feelings or even … Continue reading A Human Imposter
The problem with civilisation is that it is simply self-destructive: driven by profit and efficiency alone, self-programmed to implode by following a predictable recipe of maximum death/maximum profit economics. This monstrous progeny of our greed now runs the planet. It operates not on dreams, laughter, feelings, creativity, love, compassion or any of our best human … Continue reading All Roads Lead to Self-Destruction
