The war humanity is waging on all other species has already killed much of the ecosystem. The superorganism is dying. Rather than celebrating our shared chemical and genetic lineage, we have been in war with other life forms since the beginning of time. Our track record is one of genocide and extinction, because this is … Continue reading A Civilisation Built on Conflict and Supremacy
The worst enemy of truth is half-truth. Decades of programming have overloaded us to the point where we only pay attention to headlines, not the facts (or absence thereof) behind them. The consumatronic farm has bred any curiosity out of modern humans and replaced it with apathy on steroids. As truth becomes diluted by a … Continue reading Media In the Post-Reality World
People revolt only when they feel sufficiently oppressed to be prepared to risk everything. But this critical threshold will never be reached when society has been collectively bought out by this economic system long ago. We are stakeholders and participants in everything wrong with the world today: exploitation, natural destruction, climate breakdown. This dystopian society … Continue reading The Missed Revolution
As tens of millions of Americans begin to fall below the poverty line, their leader plans to annex Gaza, Canada, Greenland, and Mars. This has all the signs of late-stage Empire tantrums: the economic desperation becomes so immense that the only way for the Empire to continue, and distract its impoverished citizens, is to annex … Continue reading Empire vs. People and Planet
As the oligarchy’s plan to deliberately destroy American society materialises, and the reasons why they do this become clear, what remains unclear is what the opposition plans to do: absolutely nothing. People are already reminiscing the days of “democracy”, as if things used to be perfect. But it was that “perfect” democracy which laid out … Continue reading American Democracy: A Primer
Not too long ago workers were fighting for an 8-hour shift, women for the right to vote, and African Americans and gays for the right to be accepted as human beings. It is bloody struggles like these which gave us today’s society. Yet those days seem like eons from another millennium, as the word “revolution” … Continue reading Revolt of The Couch Potatos
Both economy and politics have now come under the control of politicians disguised as businessmen, and businessmen disguised as politicians who do nothing all day but tinker with algorithms. Society is unequally pitted against a monstrous, unbreakable blob of coagulated power, money and media that have conspired with each other. The level of linkage between … Continue reading Keep Calm and Keep Feeding the Algorithm
Amid increasing speculation that America’s oligarchs may be attempting to crash the economy on purpose, it is important to remember that the global economic system was made to crash in the first place, whether intentionally, or not. Capitalism is by definition a self-destructive force which maximizes profit through rapid resource destruction, chaos and inequality. In … Continue reading American Chaos: The Oligarchy’s Plan to do The Unimaginable
Seeking safety in replicating the bad examples of others is one of the most unfortunate human traits. Most of the time we blindly follow the herd of a collective unconsciousness tugging itself towards a random direction. Sabotaging our access to our own vast emotional reservoir, we unconditionally surrender to a mind prison assembled for us … Continue reading The End of Free-Range Humans
In my book In the Grip of Necrocapitalism I introduce the concept of conflict as a narrative for civilisation. Throughout human history we have viewed the world as a series of conflicts rather than mutually beneficial collaborations between humans and other species: an unprovoked conflict with nature, an unprovoked conflict with other humans, and a … Continue reading The Biggest Tariff of Them All
