  • For real. It hits way too close to the truth. The thing is, they can use as much power and as many tools as they want to try and infiltrate/destroy dissent, but they can never actually change the basic nature/desires of the human animal, so even when they’ve crushed all organized efforts to oppose their rule, resistance will still arise more and more frequently the farther they go in their attempts to consolidate power. Ultimately you invariably get what exists today: an epic cluster fuck of splinter groups and causes across the political spectrum.

    It’s exactly the same way that “alt-right” became popular around 2015 originally to self identify as a life long liberal who felt they could no longer support the political left, but also weren’t comfortable with fully supporting the political right. It was seized upon and redefined to remove those people’s ability to succinctly identify their unique position, to maintain the artificial 50/50 left/right divide in the public’s mind.

    And yes I am aware that it was once used by some shithead nobody cares about before that, but I’m talking about it’s popular use in recent times.



  • Amazing how much easier it is to motivate yourself when you have the ability to make significant decisions on the fly, based on the immediate feedback you receive from the system, instead of spending half your time hitting your head against a wall attempting to sus out self-contradictory instructions given by people who don’t actually understand how any of it really works.
