These are the 2020s, a quarter way into the 21st century, very much like the previous century the world is on the cusp of a paradigm shift propelled by forces similar to the ones in the past. There is mass stagnation; discontentment; cultural dilution; educational dilution; divisions among people based on a variety of different characteristics be it intrinsic, extrinsic, immutable, behavioral, ideological among so many other factors, divisions which are cultivated and exploited by very nebulous entities for a variety of reasons; a vast deluge of poor quality produce; the tampering of entertainment art and history; the trampling of various inalienable rights from privacy to free communication to existence; demoralization and ultimately mass suffering and death. This is by no means a unique phenomenon but some might say this is the end of a road, a road which humanity sped along. The second Industrial revolution which occurred at the cusp of the 21st century was responsible for setting in motion the forces which led humanity to this cliff edge. Some were wise enough to foresee it and the consequences it was to have, some knew its outcomes in advance and purposefully supported or opposed it and the others were completely oblivious to anything of the sort. Just like the industrial revolution before it, this revolution brought about a variety of boons and banes with society liquifying temporarily when faced with such innovation. The populace was introduced to older paradigms of thought as well enabling them to interrogate the culture and powers that be even if they were completely powerless to attack either. But what is liquid must eventually solidify, in our imperfect world the forces that be would never allow such a utopian liquid society to function. Economists call this phenomenon calcification and despite it never being associated with a liquid fluid state, causality forcibly links both in chains. This fact is something which has been a universal truth for a very long time expressed in phrases like “rise and fall” and “what goes up, must come down”. Calcification therefore should be an inevitable process due to human nature and the greater forces that be. But is it really? Are materialistic progress and change really forces of entropy dedicated to decimating free and prosperous societies? In the 2000s despite the widespread problems of the time period, society was observably more prosperous with widespread promotion of freedom, self empowerment, truth seeking and other positive values. Compare that society with the today, the post covid 20s society and the differences are quite visible. This must prompt a question, what happened?
The Industrial Revolution of the late 80s and early 90s was a revolution in technology. Technology made a 30 year leap in the course of 10 as the societal conditions allowed the young hyper-competents of the world to exert mammoth efforts towards manifesting the impossible. Thus they were able to create a virile counter culture which was able to change the world for the better like many cultures before it. The magnum opus of this industrial revolution was the automation of communication which came to be called the internet, similar to the automation of information or the computer which preceded it. The internet in the early days was a pure liquid. Its free Brownian nature allowed for people to realize a strain of freedom which was previously perceived as conceptual. With it and its older brother the computer came an innumerable number of benefits for the average person and to say it had no improvements would’ve been a false statement. Populations around the world had an opportunity to evolve, to be more efficient, intelligent and greater than the sum of their parts. And indeed they did for a short period. That was the prosperity which materialized in the 90s and 2000s, a time when average people could hold their own against the problems of the world. But at the very same time, there were hidden forces at play, which sought to utilize and exploit the revolution to satiate their own sinful desires, be it greed lust envy sloth or anything else. They knew they could not manage that in a free and prosperous society and resorted to the oldest conquest tactics in history. The second industrial revolution brought about an opportunity to unite people no matter how different, to grant them freedom and power. These sinister forces sought to divide people no matter how similar, make them surrender their freedom and belongings for a smidgen of security. With a very coincidental balanced set of events in the late 2000s, society was poisoned and the hyper-competents sold their souls to the powers that be. In return they were granted an empire, an impenetrable fortress which could imprison the people of the world and the keys to the hearts and minds to the populations of the world. Thus the industrial empire was formed which created problems left right and center, promising the populaces governed security in exchange for their freedoms. Slowly but surely each problem ensured the people surrendered their freedoms, being herded into a prison where their new overlords would turn them into chattel to be profited off. They were lied to, abused, turned on each other, forced to fight their brothers and made into animals who could be commanded. The internet, an unparalleled paragon of freedom, became a rotting prison complex where people fought to survive while the wardens profited off them.
You might still ask, how this happened, why this happened, how you can see it, perceive it? That can be illustrated
- Your streets were filled with criminals, rapists, sadists and animals of all kinds who steal your children from you, ravage them and keep you in fear and terror. Your safe secure homes, hard earned money and treasured legacies were stolen and given to people who never worked a day in their lives and squandered what was so graciously granted to them. Your humble neighborhoods were defaced and ruined by people who don’t care about you and yours.
- Your friends, neighbors, colleagues and family were turned on you. One bad word, one bad thought, one bad action could get you thrown to the wolves and torn to shreds. Your thinking was taken from you by the media and their constant bombardments of consensus. Your children were taken from you, defiled and changed against your will.
- The media you love was taken from you, held hostage, defiled against your consent and thrown in your face with threats of force to constantly surrender your hard earned money to grasp at the illusion of ownership. The very same media are made larger and larger while they deliver less and less, like a bloated corpse, as they demand more. Your childhoods were poisoned and forcefully spoonfed back to you.
- Your education is filled with lies and useless information, actively disincentivizing flourishing thought, as the powers that be demand educators to turn you into neutered obedient chattel, incapable of producing genius. They do this as they brandish their incompetence as virtue and create unstable useless produce of no value.
- Your property is made increasingly useless as it betrays your command, betrays your trust, constantly breaks down your privacy and steals your most important personal information. The powers that be take that information, pried from your vulnerable hands, and gives it to other exploiters who use it for their own ends.
- You are kept on a leash, like a caged animal, fed treats and enticed by betterment, only to be kicked to the dirt by oligarchs and organizations of size and power beyond imagination. You are no longer allowed to think, to be free, to be self sufficient, to stand apart from the crowd, to be left alone.
The Industrial empire needs its chattel to be satiated, to be suppressed and held in chains as theyre convinced of their own empowered freedoms while getting flogged on their backs. This is not the state of things, this does not need to be the state of things. The free willed people of the world have more power than they can imagine and it is possible to crush the empire so everyone maybe emancipated. Reject the things which satiate you, reject poisoned conveniences, steal what you can, sabotage what you can, interrogate the things which are imposed upon you. You are not obligated to surrender anything you worked hard to earn, especially if you don’t want to. Read more, learn more, think freely. Most importantly embrace empowerment forcefully, work constantly and consistently towards self improvement. The weak are easy targets to conquer, reject weakness and embrace a positive vision of the future. We are on a cliffs edge, being forced to take the plunge. What is done is our choice to make, to let the rot subsist and destroy the world or to destroy it and remake society anew. Choices have consequences, choose wisely. Join or Die.
