original link The smell of formaldehyde may be nauseating and the cold white flickering light above incredibly unkind, but this is an opportunity I wouldn’t miss for the world: as I prepare to put my hypoallergenic nitrile gloves on, get ready to dive deep into this corpse with me. We’re about to do an autopsy … Continue reading My Tesla “Autopsy” OP-ED at the Marketing Journal
I’ve been walking past this graffiti on the beach for years. Meters away from the surf and right on the concrete beach walk, it is highly visible to foot traffic but too boring to notice: a hasty, unimaginative execution in plain black dripping spray paint on a dystopian iron door the key to which has … Continue reading Disorder Is Their Order
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
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
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
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
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
