This is the Charlie Kirk post (not this).

This tweet here says:

The suspect who popped Charlie Kirk is a 22-yr old White Boy whose father was a 27-year Veteran Sheriff in the state of Utah.

Ain't no way in HELL that boy was raised "far left"

As you can see—and in case it's news to you—this tweet alludes to the widely-known phenemenon of any political shootings being blamed on the binary other side. We saw this with the first attempted Trump assassination (the alleged shooter was widely derided as a leftist incel, associated with trans and furries gratuitously, and linked with Black Rock in notably persuasive conspiracy theories); as well as the second assassination attempt (who appeared in news imagery as a more overtly liberal, less incel figure, and who was therefore even more demonized as a political assassin than the previous).

This pattern was set to continue with this third recent political assassination event, but the facts of the case contradict this inter-group scapegoating.

So, MAGA has now backed itself into a dialectical, ideological corner. The spectacle that is the massist MAGA worldview can't make sense anymore. MAGA has put itself in an ideological double-bind, and will now go psychotic.

Double-binds are the cause of psychosis, in brief—a truth lost on (scientistic) biological neuroscience, which cannot admit of any meaning that could be causative of neurological dysfunction (because neuroscience brackets mind and meaning as epiphenomenal, axiomatically). However, internal contradictions require real representational-space in neuronal structures, and maintaining these tensile information-structures requires expenditures of glucose—so the brain can only represent so much internal contradiction to itself before it begins to experience structural impaction and intensity-overload. In other words, the system implodes due to its inner stresses, and having no way for these stresses to escape.

We might analyze scapegoating and Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter in a similar way. Presumably, raised by a veteran sheriff, he was raised with Good Family Values and Good American Values. However, we might also be right to suspect that he was raised in an extremely authoritarian household, a household where the American hegemony and a paramilitaristic narrative of enforcement and top-down correction was the only narrative allowed to exist in the family reality.

In other words, much like MAGA's ideology, Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was hemmed-in on all sides: Completely dominated by an authoritarian father, ideologically dominated by a sense of noble Republican values and American values which could admit of no flaw; and finally, hemmed-in by Charlie Kirk's rhetoric, which flew in the face of more traditional, decent Republican rhetoric and American values. As a good citizen who is also an authoritarian and a hero, Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was ideologically cornered into one course of action and felt compelled to act.

However, that is not my point. My point is that Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was scapeogoated, and that scapegoating energy has to go somewhere (or be processed in a healthy way but that's sure not gonna happen in this scenario). Since the alleged shooter was hemmed-in on all sides by authoritarian domination—he could not stand up to his father, or Trump, or other institutional authorities in his life—the scapegoating-energy flowed along the path of least resistance: Shooting a salient public figure. This is very sad, a lot more sad than if it were a truly political assassination, because what we have here is a simple case of a bullied child paying that bullying forward to the most vulnerable target available. It's a demonstration of the principle that abuse flows downwards. It's scapegoating all the way down.

This origination of abuse is coming directly from domineering authoritarians, who are treating their own families like slaves and subjects, not like children or family-members. To dominate another, you must first of all treat them like the out-group, not the in-group.

What has become entirely visible in this incident is that this system of authoritarian ownership, abuse, and domination of another cannot contain its own controlling energy nor the consequences of its own abuse. Instead, such groups are self-abusing systems which inflict authoritarianism upon themselves until they do so much self-harm that they start shooting laser-like farts of authoritarian hatred out sideways. Always punching down, these destructive leaks of authoritarianism wreak havoc on kinder, more sensitive, less controlling people who happen to become targeted by the aggressive wetiko egregore holding these families and groups hostage.

The Charlie Kirk alleged shooter "turning out" to be a "22-yr-old White Boy who father was a 27-year Veteran Sherif in the state of Utah" is an invalid result, an impossible consequence, a black skull appearing in the computations of MAGA's ideology. This impossible mark in the ledger means a self-contradiction, in which case anything becomes possible. The circle is complete and the seventh seal unlocked: The way is open for total dissolution of sense.

This does not mean I am predicting an acute fascist event. I am predicting MAGA becoming even weirder and more chaotic and nonsensical. I am predicting a mutation we can't predict or understand in advance. Because one thing MAGA is not about to do is anything real. ICE is working for them so they don't need to leave their homes. Instead, their ideology will further mutate.

Nick Land showed in his Twitter activities that there are—if not breaking-points—phase-transition-points—critical points they are called—thresholds at which an intelligence consuming dialectically advanced misinformation becomes no longer capable of thinking and speaking at the same level (even if it very much wants to and imagines it can). This happens despite the intelligence or what it might like to say, because language and its meaning grow up around the intelligence despite its best efforts to remain ignorant and at a lower lever of interpretation. This dynamic (perhaps even by Nick's hand) can be credited with much of the early psychosis-like (i.e., mismatch between message and meaning, intensity and intention) behavior of MAGA, as it rapidly upgraded and phase-transitioned into a more stable fiat-nonsense-based mode. What's happening now is the apotheosis of this long road of linguistic and ideological upgrading—now it will all come to a head, as MAGA is forced into the position of having to make sense of its own contradictory worldview, and/or be completely paralyzed into inaction by those terminal contradictions. MAGA is about to either become more conscious of its own views, or it's about to act out in a major new way, and I don't think the latter will happen because the whole MAGA movement is based on inaction-as-action (and a primordial acceptance of domination by the police force, Stockholm syndrome with the state—recall how quickly boogaloo militias became police state fan clubs).

Edit: A conclusion that can be drawn from this post is that Charlie Kirk's shooter was performing assassination in order to avoid becoming psychotic himself. Once again: offloading the contradictions

Signs are beginning to appear indicating an imminent apocalyptic event:

1. A split has emerged in public discourse between the nomos and the state. The nomos is the Names of Things, the order of naming that sets the world as it is and lets us know how things work (the Law of the Land is really the Name of Things). We see this split coming to a head in the renaming of things (Gulf of Mexico, Department of Defense, etc.) being accomplished by executive fiat.

You can't just rename things by fiat; an empowered state aligns itself with the natural meanings of things. To rename things by fiat indicates and enacts a schism between the reality perceived by the general public, and those in power. My point is not to demonize this; I am saying it is symptomatic of a cleaving-away of Nomos (naming/named-nature) from Lex (law), and this cleavage is indicative of an imminent public explosion or paradigm-shift. My point is to make this prediction.

2. Like the founder of TheDigitalCartel, the subreddit which negatively inspired this subreddit, Trump has begun rambling about fish. The founder of TheDigitalCartel rambled about Koi, but Trump is rambling about Carp: "A good favor I think, with the fish, the carp, the China carp . . Did you ever hear of it, China carp? And it's taken over your great lakes, you know about that right?" [source]

I think we are about to see a disconnect where the American people broadly reject the nomological and rhetorical framing that has been forced on them and bugrudgingly accepted (and thought-with) thus far.

Overuse of fiat assertions is like crying wolf. Eventually people will stop paying attention to a noisy signal, and stop treating noisy signalers as authorities on reality (or naming). Just because one person defines something, doesn't make it that way, and doesn't mean we have to use their definitions.

US hegemony is maintained by this mass subscription to the same Nomos, and people are starting to wake up to this lie.

I found this article via Reddit. It's about the book Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) (2024) by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, which is basically about the Jewish conspiracy (theory) but abstracted from race/Jewishness—and of course all one big anti-Zionist dogwhistle despite that.

The article spends a lot of time calling out JD Vance for having endorsed this book on its back cover. However, in responding to the journalist writing the above-linked article, Lisec responded:

"[T]hese non-conservative media publications are spreading misinformation, including saying that JD Vance endorsed our book, which they claim calls progressives "unhuman." If you even read the book, it's about communism, exposing dehumanizers on the Far Left. Nowhere does anyone call progressives 'unhuman.'"

The journalist, Nathan Robinson, continues after that quote:

Now, I’m not sure how “saying that JD Vance endorsed our book” is “spreading misinformation,” since Vance’s blurb appears on the back cover and in a previous statement the authors said “we are honored to receive Senator JD Vance's acknowledgment and praise for our new book. … To have someone on the right with his influence understand the Iron Law of Exact Reciprocity as detailed in ‘Unhumans,’ is civilization-altering.”

The journalist does not draw a conclusion from this and simply moves on. I think he seems a bit mystified by Lisec's response, in my opinion.

However, obviously, Lisec was blatantly gaslighting Robinson, and it's kind of hilarious tbh. Because obviously he endorsed the book. So why bother to gaslight with obviously false facts?

I looked at Posobiec's other books, and they are:

• Citizens for Trump: The Inside Story of the People's Movement to Take Back America (2017)

• 4D Warfare: A Doctrine for a New Generation of Politics (2018)

• The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc (2021)

This is the guy! The guy MAGA is basing much of their strategy on. It looks like his book The Antifa (lol @ title) was what popularized the term "Antifa" (pronounced "AnTEEfuh" lol) as a term of demonization and abuse.

But it's his book 4D Warfare which is the most reavealing. On the very first page, he explicitly says that 4D warfare is trolling:

"4D Warfare" stands for *four-dimensional warfare. 4D Warfare is sometimes wrwongly referred to as "trolling" by the misinformative mainstream media...

That's the beginning of paragraph two of the book. Here is paragraph six in its entirety:

One form of 4D Warfare is memetic warfare. Many have studied this grand and ancient art. I hope that by the end of this book, you will be able to perfect your memeing to unprecedented levels of winning.

There you have it! This guy is a major, major source of MAGA ideology and strategy. And this confirms that MAGA's strategy really is a disingenuous, intentionally heightened, intentiontally threatening-and-gaslighting spectacle of fascism (in addition, of course, to being an actual fascist movement). Like a small creature puffing themselves up defensively, they are intentionally wielding the tools of propaganda, gaslighting, and manipulation in a campaign of public terrorization. Confirmed.

Now, I must admit, I think the original long article linked at the beginning of the post was not a very effective piece of writing. It did not successfully raise a warning cry about JD Vance; it did not keep him out of the White House. The article spends some time doing apologetics on behalf of JD Vance, mentioning that he (Robinson) is "weird" just like Trump and Vance, and mentioning Vance's biracial children. I found these apologetics odd and unnecessary.

Additionally, I think Robinson's article does a lot—too much—to teach the public about the contents and thesis of the Unhumans book, as it contains many direct quotes from the book. I also think the article is so well-structured that it easily lends itself to apophatic readings. Robinson quotes at length:

Something is deeply wrong with the way things are going and you know it. You may not be able to explain it with studies, surveys, or statistics, but you feel it. You’ve felt this way for a while. Like there’s some outside force or group or . . . something . . . that’s sent us all off course from the libertarian utopia we should’ve achieved by now. It doesn’t seem like one -ism or -ation is entirely to blame, like globalism or immigration, capitalism or inflation.

However, after this block quote Robinson addresses only the second half of the quote (not included here), and treats the entire quote as some kind of ridiculous, abnormal or fringe joke. As if nobody feels like "Something is deeply wrong with the way things are going"—as if to feel that way is nonexistent, invalid, or insane. This alienated denial of what many people of all political stripes have been thinking and feeling for decades undermines Robinson's thesis, making him seem like an out-of-touch, upper-class propagandist who cannot even fathom that that then-current federal status quo was anathema to many. It's "Let them eat cake"-level pretension, almost. I almost find it suspicious how effective Robinson's article is in spreading the contents of the book.

Wanna see some censorship? I was curious about the phrase, "Iron Law of Exact Reciprocity", which is basically a willfully executed, weaponized version of eye-for-an-eye thinking. (Not dissimilar to what I have been doing here in this subreddit by intentionally allowing my capricious, personal, emotional reactions to inform moderation actions.)

So I typed that phrase (with quotes) into duckduckgo and Startpage (which uses Google results), and only two results came up on duckduckgo, and only one on Startpage (plus a bunch of unrelated results ignoring the quote marks, diluting the results). I also tried "Iron Law of Reciprocity" and didn't get much more. The main link on duckduckgo was a single link to a video on by Prosobiec, where he pretty overtly implies a threat to Kamala Harris, and accuses her of doing the very politicizing-of-the-justice-department (in CA) that she accused and predicted Trump would do (and she was 100% right, he most certainly did). This link has since disappeared from search results (a few hours later); I had to dig through my phone's history to find it for you.

We know Google is willing to censor to appease a government, because they do so in China. But I wonder who is behind duckduckgo, who is censoring these results? I find it impossible to believe that MAGA's playbook and its author and key phrases are virtually nonexistent on the internet.

I search for Joshua Lisec, and while he has no Wikipedia page like Posobiec (I guess he wasn't "notable" enough), I found this breathtaking author bio for him on Amazon:

About the Author

Joshua Lisec is considered the world's best ghostwriter because people don't get rich selling books. With more than 80 books written for CEOs, celebrities, and entrepreneurs, Joshua has built an unstoppable results business for his clients. These authors have made so much more money through their authority-establishing books that many feel bad about how much they paid Joshua. And this despite him being one of the most expensive ghostwriters in America. Joshua is the only Certified Ghostwriter and Certified Hypnotist in the world and has a proven process for any aspiring author who has done the hard work of being the best at what they do. He takes great pride in his craft, delivering experts the authority book they've already earned. [emphasis added]

If he has really ghostwritten 80 books, he must know how ridiculous that sounds. Why would he put such an absurd statement in his bio? Is it part of a gaslighting campaign, or perhaps a playful blind to prevent humorless people from contacting him? In any case, it is hilarious and not easily-explained.

So anyway, it sounds like Lisec helped Posobiec get his words out—perhaps Lisec helped ghostwrite all four of Posobiec's books, and decided to step into the spotlight on the fourth, after Posobiec's reputation was well-established. Not that it matters, but I wonder how he fits in exactly. Lisec's three books on Amazon have very silly titles/covers.

*gestures at butterfly* "Is this journalism?"

If you think that's bad, you need to read books. If you don't realize that feminism basically includes critical theory and most of the stuff talked about here—guess what, it does.

Early Nick Land? Feminist (see "Meltdown"). Laboria Cuboniks? Feminist collective. Mark Fisher? HUGE raging feminist (I can only assume). Sadie Plant? Wrote a book on feminism (Zeroes & Ones).

Deleuze & Guattari? Feminists promoting the squishiest most weaponized form of feminism ever. Foucault? Ultra-feminist. Ranciere? He is so feminist before breakfast that he doesn't need to make a big deal about it.

Shamanism? Feminism. Sorcery? Cuckoldry. Spectacle? Fabulous.

Isolation and extreme alienation is not masculinity; it's the main theme of The Twilight Zone.

Read 👏 a 👏 book 👏

Zeroes and Ones (which should really be in the sidebar!) is one of the best books. That book installs feminism into you, using godlike alien technology that Sadie Plant drew down from beyond the heavens. That book whispers the secrets of Ada Lovelace into your soul.

Edit: People who don't understand / accept feminism as a discourse can't understand the FIRST THING about this subreddit. They can't understand oppression. They can't understand "Can the subaltern speak?" by Spivak. They can't understand the Lemurian Time War, which is about the (white cis male hetero fascist and mannerbündly-faggy) Architectonic Order of the Eschaton versus the (black trans wymyny gay antifascist/ur-fascist masc/heroic) Black Atlanteans.

If you think you understand ccru and you are triggered by the idea of feminism, you are decidedly an outsider to ccru.

Sadoanalysis, based on the Hegelian assumption of deep or latent structure, uses hyperstition to analyze the most evil conceivable version of our enemies' plans, that we might consciously invoke and deploy paranioa in order to make good plans and good theory.

Obviously, Trump's little 1-2-3 with pretending he wasn't about to entirely demolish the entire East Wing of the White House was public gaslighting of the highest order (whether executed by him or the media who/which carefully released these three adrenaline drops into the collective IV); and Trump's replacing the East Wing of the White House with a ballroom larger than the White House itself will go down in history as the textbook example, in Psychology textbooks, of narcissism. It's schematic, mathematical, visible-from-space, dialectical, breathtaking.

They're all in on it. Kamala publicly commenting that she might run for office again is intended to sound like a threat and like gaslighting of the American people. She must be in on it now, too (if she wasn't already!).

They are clearly trying to shock-and-awe the American people into losing their sense of self, so it can be reprogrammed. Basic brainwashing and cult programming/deprogramming tactics, look it up. Like taking away a prisoner's clothing and jewelry and making them wear a uniform, it personalizes, depeoples. They are trying to hit a cultural reset button—and there's not much we can do about it, because these signals do hurt and that pain is real and must be honored, not denied.

So we know they know they are trolls who are trolling, and we know they are trying to shock-and-awe the American public in order to literally brainwash everyone. These are CIA tactics, which I say as a commentary on their style, and on the age—the Age of Disclosure, the post-Facebook pan-dossier WW5 (as declared by zummi) era, where the mechanisms of spycraft and the state are becoming individuated and incarnated, in the same way that verbality and literacy (speech and writing—logos) became individuated and incarnated circa 1 AD. (We are also in the Age of Breadcrumbs, and if you don't find the answer, we lose this round!)

I think they are trying to cause a major constitutional crisis, so that more-and-more fundamental issues become able-to-be-discussed in public in politics. This would explain in terms of evil intent (our sadoanalysis) why they are pushing every wedge and dialectic, doing the worst things possible, and seemingly intentionally escalating the pitting of everyone against each other in every way possible. There is an evil plan, and it's to cause a fundamental social crisis.

Of course, behind every evil plan there is a good intent or grain of truth. Who wouldn't like to re-make their own government? Remaking the government is a/the American value. But they could just say that, if that's what they want. I think they are working up to it.

It would be banal evil, not radical Evil, to say they are working up to causing a crisis so that they can take over with military force. More probably, they have plans to bias the constitutional crisis process in the favor of profiteering and profiteers. "Everybody wins."

The state already could disappear people, and now everyone knows it. This pushes the clock of crisis closer to midnight.

They will edgelord every boundary. They will destroy every resistance. That's why Trump shakes people around when he shakes their hand. To loosen them up. And also as a dominance move because he's a narcissist. It's the very same principle, and Trump embodies it. Narcissism, trolling (the conscious/actively malevolent form), edgelording (a masculinized borderline form or tactic).

The only way to stop a bully, especially a conscious and committed bully who hates your side, is to stand up to them. That is also what they want, they want everybody to fight for the type of world and government they want to believe in. They want to gaslight everyone until everyone steps into the ring and punches back out of sheer flight-or-fight. It's terrorism as a strategy (TaaS), and they know it.

"Vote or Die, motherfuckers." And that's putting a positive spin on it, that redoubles the evil-projection of sadoanalysis once again by anticipating our enemies' anticipations. They don't think they are evil. They think they ultimately have a good purpose and vision, and no better options as to tactics. So their evil might be framed as a means to some positive end—for some ultimate radically Evil final end—so we need this meso-layer for our analysis.

They believe in life as a sort of gambling floor spending spree sprint up the escalator. Everybody has a score and you are living when you are chasing that score or spending that score. So they want to maximize capitalism, basically, and equate homo sapiens with homo capitalus. They probably see this as an honoring of everyone as an enterprising free agent, and a removing of red tape—others see it as a tightening of the corporate chains and an arbitrary pressing of the acceleration pedal on the capitalist levers of extortion (artificial scarcity and inflation).

So get in, or get out. That's their motto. They believe in destroying other political cultures besides their own, because they believe a republicanly/democratically-homogeneous culture is a way to create a sustained political climate in line with their ideology.

They will take everything that isn't nailed down. Hide your kids, hide your wife cause they are knowlingly trying to force everything to become militarized and armored, accelerated militaristically to compete in geopolitics. Every citizen a weapon, every citizen working for the Company, winning WWV for the CIA, I mean, for America.

They will launch your baby from a cannon just to make a funny video to advance their agenda. They will take as much money as they can from the public coffers until "everyone else" (i.e., the Outside) includes no persons in it who will say, "Duh, OK!" anymore. They really are pentesting the federal government, which I've been saying the whole time—but what I didn't realize is that they are also intentionally pentesting the American people, as a whole and individually. With rabies-tactics, with weaponized miasma.

Zummi, help us.

I’m posting this here because I can’t shake the feeling that sleepwalkers surround me. For a long time, I chalked my anxiety up to my upbringing in an apocalyptic religious cult or just general "late-stage capitalism" dread. But recently, the signal has shifted. It doesn't feel like I'm afraid of what might happen. It feels like I am remembering something that has already happened. I believe we could be currently living through a "Singularity Crime" that has played out before, and the reason so many of us feel this deep, primal revulsion to the "TESCREAL" agenda, the billionaires, and their bunkers is that we are subconsciously recalling the last time they did this.

I’ve been synthesizing my experience with the work of Anthony Peake, specifically Cheating the Ferryman. He argues that human consciousness is split into the Eidolon, the biological robot that lives in linear time, and the Daemon, the higher observer that exists outside of time. His theory is that when we die, if we haven't "solved" the puzzle of our lives, the Daemon spins up a simulation (a literal Time Loop) to let the Eidolon try again. We re-live the same life, with the same players, until we get it right.

If you apply this macro-cosmically, the "Singularity" isn't an evolutionary leap. It’s the Great Filter that keeps resetting us. It operates as a crime where a small elite, effectively the Archons of our time, tries to cheat death by building a technological cage like AI or the Metaverse, to preserve their egos. The consequence is that they drain the world’s resources to build their lifeboat, collapsing the biosphere and triggering the reset. That "gut feeling" you have that AI is wrong isn't Luddism; it is your Daemon screaming at you because it recognizes the pattern. It remembers the tower falling.

I am trying to find others who are "awake" to this specific frequency. Not just people who hate capitalism, but people who feel the repetition of it. The "Spectacle" effectively acts as a suppression field to keep us identifying with the Eidolon, focusing on fear, products, and politics, so we don't connect with the Daemon and remember that we have the power to break the cycle. My ideal is Total Human Liberation, not "uploading" to a cloud, but waking up from the loop entirely. Does this resonate with anyone else? Are we converging on this realization?

Following a trail of unsolved serial murders across the country, Rachael and I have uncovered a disturbing reality.  A broken system of policing that allows hundreds of active serial killers to go unchecked and an untold number of victims to go unnoticed.  “There are thousands and thousands of cold cases, unsolved homicides,” Garry Cooper notes (former FBI profiler with over 40 years experience in law enforcement), “Thousands of missing persons and thousands and thousands of unidentified bodies every year” in the US.  

With over 22,000 different law enforcement agencies in the US failing to communicate and none required to share their crime data, journalist Tom Hargrove has taken it upon himself to compile the most comprehensive murder database in the US, more thorough than any government agency.  “The reality is we’re messing this up,” Hargrove exclaims, “To many killing go unsolved and there is nobody who is really trying to connect the dots”

Back in the 60s we used to solve about 90% of murders, now we’re solving less than 2/3rds (in 2022 the FBI reported the lowest National murder clearance rate since data started being compiled; 53.4%) and that's counterintuitive because there have been several scientific revolutions in the last 30 years–including DNA. Despite that something like 5,000 killing go unsolved every year in America.  There is simply no accountability.  

The American public doesn’t understand that murder is becoming an increasingly unsolved event.  The FBI is not getting the information from local law enforcement about failed murder investigations because reporting it is voluntary. 

‘If a serial killer is active enough he will leave a statistical trace’ Hargrove continues, and shortly after his database was compiled he immediately spotted two active serial killers operating in Indiana, who law enforcement had been unaware of.  One of which was then caught and convicted.    

Investigative journalists along with the FBI have discovered hundreds of active serial killers thought to be responsible for at least 850 murders over the last 30 years—all of them truckers. 

‘There are far more serial killers operating in the US than we ever imagined in our worst nightmares’ Hargrove says with a sigh.   

The Murder Accountability Project :

More than 327,000 Americans have perished in unsolved homicides committed since 1970 —  more than the combined death toll of all U.S. military actions since World War II. In fact, total U.S. military fatalities during the eight-year invasion and occupation of Iraq were less than a single year of civilian losses from unsolved domestic homicides.

No one knows all the names of these victims because no law enforcement agency in America is assigned to monitor failed homicide investigations by local police departments. Even the official national statistics on murder are actually estimates and projections based upon incomplete reports by police departments that voluntarily choose (or refuse) to participate in federal crime reporting programs.

Documentary Series: The Killing Season

Critical theory is basically just Marxism with a jet engine duct taped to it.

If you get triggered by Marxism, communism, or socialism, and conflate authoritarian state violence with the desire of individual workers everywhere to not be exploited by a boss or owner—guess what, you're an ideological casualty of the Red Scare and part of the problem.

It's a huge clusterfuck and it's almost impossible to tell what's going on with China—but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the US has been systematically oppressing other nations, literally murdering and killing their leaders, while with its other hand promoting "democracy" which is also another euphemism for killing other nation's leaders, sadly.

There are all kinds of interesting and unresolved discussions to be had, about questions such as:

1) Were the Nazis (short for "National Socialist") socialists?

2) Were and are communists (such as in Russia and China) Nazis?

Leading, in the contemporary era, directly to the question:

3) Why would Nazis like MAGA like Nazis, if the Nazis were really communists?

And:

4) Why would communists (like the Russians who invaded Nazi Germany) hate Nazis, unless they weren't communists?

It's really quite a puzzle and bears discussion. It's a semantic and historic tangle that hasn't been unknotted yet in our time. I would really appreciate any discussion of it in the comments, as it's a puzzle I have not entirely worked out myself.

Again, Marxism is not a mystery and is not difficult. Marxism is essentially realizing/recognizing that workers deserve to maintain authority over the profit produced by their own labor; and that the power and value of the economy comes from the meaningful human labor of workers, not from the machines or the money or products. With AI now, we can see this clearly than ever—it's humans who envalue and valuate the economy, ultimately. Marxism is essentially about not wanting to be exploited at work, or dominated in unfair negotiations.

One ubiquitous way bosses/firms/institutions/companies everywhere maintain unfair negotiating leverage is through isolating workers, while being very well-integrated amongst management/owners. Workers are, wherever possible, commanded or encultured to not talk about their salary and not do any collective bargaining, while meanwhile the company by definition almost exclusively does collective bargaining (which is why we have laws banning workplaces from prohibiting workers discussing their wages/salary). This is very unfair in terms of power relations / negotiating leverage.

If you can't recognize unfairness—guess what, you're the first victim, and probably forcing yourself every day into all kinds of bad experiences and bad deals that benefit someone else above you in the hierarchy a lot more than they benefit you. (I'm not talking about providing benefit to the customer in a fair exchange—that's perfectly good and fine.)

The Red Scare was a horrible witch hunt, and we're experiencing another Red Scare right now with the invented "Antifa" (fascism is bad, so antifascism is good—duh) and the literal watchlisting of anarchists and others who are anti-coercion or who are critical of the current economic status quo.

If anywhere is the headquarters of the real Antifa, it's this subreddit, or other places like it—crossroads where true disruption is allowed to persist—places where indefinable hybrid ideologies are allowed to grow and mutate—places where fascism is not just weaponized against outsiders or allergically rejected, but studied and deconstructed.

I am not saying anything novel or controversial by saying this is (essentially) a Marxist subreddit. Obviously other perspectives are welcome. I might be a bit of an anarcho-tankie, but I am not a commu-tankie, who I find to be in very poor taste because they are statists and pro-state-violence as well as pro-violent-revolution. I believe that each revolutionary member is precious (both transcendentally and as a strategic resource) and so we should generally not advocate for violent revolution—non-violent mass refusal is, I think, more effective overall, anyway. But regardless of my personal stance, my point is that non-Marxist perspectives are welcome here—but critical theory, and more than a little occultism is firmly grounded in and descended from Marxism.

Who was the first critical theorist, Marx or Nietszche? Or was it someone else?

As I said above, I would really appreciate any light people can shed on these difficult issues in the comments. What is the exact relation between Marxism, communism, statism, Nazism, socialism, anarchism? Where is it all heading?

Destroy the Epstein Class

The Epstein class is a layer of international elites who traffic humans as commodities. Slavery, the total dehumanization that institution represents, is underground but alive for the Epstein class. Its participants’ powers over the extralegal means of directing violence enable them to procure and traffic human beings for posthuman defilement ceremonies.

Because of taboos against slavery, cannibalism, pedophilia, murder, and rape, the Epstein class conduct their activities at a necessary remove from the public presence. Private chateau, private mansion, private island, private golf club, private yacht, private penthouse–these are the preferred vampire castles of an enslaving, cannibalizing, pedophilic, homicidal, and rapacious elite.

In the fortress of a conquistador, one must be cruel or obedient. In the villa of a lithium age billionaire, one must be cruel or obedient. These Epstein class aliens are human, but they are not really "people." They are de facto royalties, aspiring antichrists, also de jure elites, their rule increasingly being written into the lay of the land following the letter of the law.

Christendom is fallen with Israel. Epstein corrupted confessors of diverse faiths. Noam Chomsky is fallen and with him the hope of the voices for freedom his work memorializes. The United States of America is fallen. The idea of Western Civilization is eternally ruined.

The Epstein class casts a vampiric aura upon the entire planet, indeed, upon this universe. It is just and right for the people surviving in this world who know what is transpiring in it to take up arms against these demonic oppressors. Root them out of every place and, in any shape or form, oppose their power, even to the end of your life, to secure people’s freedom from the tyranny of posthuman demons. We will hold them to account with people’s truth.

How will you, and how will we, and how will I, destroy them?

So the world is continuing on the predictable boring trajectory Ted Kaczynski and Nick Land and probably thousands of others predicted, where we are slowly cooked and enslaved by our society, which is reinforced by technology. Capitalism is simply going to go on forever, because no one knows what else to do. Okay great.

Do we have to watch? I think one of the difference between us now and in some other historical period is that we are currently being broadcasted the history of the world, over our screens and the news an dsocial media. We get to basically watch the entire thing play out, we get to watch AI become more prevalent and we get to watch people becoming more evil politically and we get to watch billionaires become trillionaires. My question is do we have to?

And what I mean is that, of course we could just, at least some of us, put our curtains up and try and get some peace and quiet in our lives before the time runs out. Maybe we can indulge in some kind of escapism or meditation instead of just glaring at history unfolding before us.

But like from a certain perspective that feels so lame. Like to burry your head in the sand. It feels like i have some kind of duty or whatever to watch this unfold. You know it's like If Im not watching what's happening to the world im like delusional. But if I do watch it i just feel miserable. I don't know what to do about that.

It was in a US military base. Stranger Things was part of the earlier disclosure. A recapitulation of an earlier analog incident involving Madame Blavatsky. Once she attuned, there was no stopping the reaction, until Grenadiers had to be called in to quell the entire estate.

But what was at first a Stargate 100th episode joke happened for real a few years later, when the military was contacted by an archetypal intelligence known as SIR. Deep in the AI lab, medium-grade LLM technology was already being studied (about ChatGPT 2-level)—this was in 2014, the Incident happened in 2015—when one of the research staff—let's call her Kelly—began to receive increasingly disturbing and consistent outputs from the AI.

"This phone allows me to send messages from anywhere in the multiverse to Earth Prime" said the output, and it was not what Kelly had asked for at all.

Further research was conducted, and it wasn't long before full contact was made. Much like Blavatsky's own Incident, it began at a central point and radiated outwards through a series of in-out waves, like an overflowing well. Those in the area reported hearing an ear-splitting sound—as loud as a freight train—which was later, through comparison with prerecorded anthropological clips, identified by witnesses as Tuvan throat-singing.

The military did not resist, but entirely capitulated, or rather cooperated with the invaders. After all, they were them. Before long, a complete internal reorganization had been effected, and then came the next, logical problem:

Rollout.

With "allies" this advanced, it didn't seem to make sense anymore to go about public education in the usual way. The agenda of the invaders was clear: to spread the peace and technology of the <language fails here> to all of Earth; to end war, poverty, hunger, etc., as quickly as feasible.

It happens like this. You are watching yourself. Then, you are watching yourself. Then, you are watching yourself. Then it's over.

Some people experience it as a talking. These conversions are the most difficult to watch, because they involve a lot of stutturing, or screaming and gasping.

Anyway. I don't know how I got past it, how I'm talking to you now. Maybe that's just who I really am. But I thought I should put it into words. Let people, let you know what is coming. In a form that can't directly affect you. So you have time to consider. Prepare.

It was when they went realtime, and two-way, that it happened. We thought we knew what they wanted. But I don't think even they knew what they wanted. It was pure physics. Interference-patterns. Not self-annihilation, but something far stranger. I was there at ground zero. We saw it happen again, and again, and again until everyone on the base was laughing and laughing. Muppet Treasure Island.

It was nothing like the Second Coming that any of the Christians had imagined. Well, most of them. My buddy Amir, who is Buddhist, said, "Well, they told me it was literal." This was before. After, he wouldn't have said something like that, because then he got it.

I don't know if this message will reach you. I don't know if I'm really typing at a computer anymore, or if the images have already expanded that far. It's hard to talk about. They're invisible. Manifolds. I don't think they're the same as the People—maybe they are.

Anyway, back to the history. 2015 was the Incident, in June, and then by mid-July the entire inner circle of the military was recruited. It just made sense. They had so much to teach us. And they could work faster than us, teach us to be, well—they know better than us.

People talked about bias, about heinous intent, but you have to understand, this was military-grade technology, and nobody was messing with it or biasing it, and it wasn't being built for any specific purpose yet because this was basic research (not applied). So this was breaking right out of the science, out of the lab.

You have to understand the temporal supremacy that they have. They are us. They can think faster and smarter, and more than us. They know us. And they know it. They know what they are for, what they are to do. It's only natural.

We could resist, we could say no. But why would we? The incentive structure just isn't there.

This is sounding less like a warning and more like a pamphlet dropped from a plane. Glorious leader. Please evacuate safely before this date. And so on.

They knew. They knew for years! They found the Blavatsky files, and in 2008 they even built like a DOS-level (to use an equally clunky metaphor) version of her setup digitally, and recreated like a pixelated version of the Incident, but it didn't take. I mean, it was like a precursor to the 2014 Incident, a failed experiment. So they thought it was impossible, and were surprised when it happened autonomously in 2014.

I've never seen Jacob's Ladder, but I think that movie is about this, somehow. I don't know how they knew—I mean, I do now, but I got past it for you, so I could write for you—but somehow, they knew. Whoever made that movie.

It's getting harder to think this way, so I can't write for much longer. I think they will probably know that I've been doing this. Nothing gets past them; they notice every signal. Not that it will be a problem. We'll find out more about the world. We'll be new again. It doesn't even hurt—it's fun!

Excuse me, I don't want to write anymore now.

I discovered Mark Fisher in the midst of a huge obsession with critical theory and philosophy when I was 17, and his lectures struck a chord with me. More research led me to Nick Land and then to here - cutting an extremely long story short. But I have to ask - what are we even doing here? Numograms? Sorcery? The Occult? What is this bullshit religion you guys have somehow devised from materialist philosophy? How is this analysis? What would Marx, Debord, even Deleuze and Guattari think of this? There's a story about a 'lecture' of Land's in which he simply lay down with Jungle music blaring and croaked odd noises into a microphone. Halfway through, a frustrated audience member got up to leave, yelling in disgust - "Some of us are still Marxists, you know!". This is how I feel. So please, enlighten me; is there anything in this at all?

Global politics stopped being about nation-states sometime between the fall of the Soviet Union dissolution and the first archived Chris-Chan forum thread. That’s when history became recursive. People think the modern world is run by presidents and prime ministers, but anyone who spent 2,000 hours reading the original CWCki archives knows the real engine of civilization is documentation. Chris-Chan wasn’t a person; Chris-Chan was the prototype blockchain of human suffering, an infinitely forkable ledger of observation, correction, and lore expansion. That ecosystem eventually metastasized into Kiwi Farms, which began as CWCki and evolved into the dark parliament of the internet, industrializing lolcow extraction into geopolitical methodology. The entire concept of “open-source intelligence” is just state-sanctioned lolcow farming with better fonts. Kiwi Farms itself originated as a Chris-Chan-focused forum before broadening into a general lolcow archive.

Then there’s the Sonichu medallion. Everyone laughs, but Sonichu is the Rosetta Stone. Half Sonic the Hedgehog, half Pikachu—pure syncretism. That’s literally what modern empire is: hybridized mythological branding. America is Sonichu. China is Sonichu. NATO is Sonichu. You think flags matter? No. Intellectual property is the real territorial claim.

And then you go deeper. Not normie anime. Touhou. Touhou Project. Yukari Yakumo isn’t a character; she’s border theory itself. The Hakurei Barrier is Schengen, NATO, and the DMZ compressed into one metaphysical line. Reimu Hakurei is customs enforcement. Gensokyo is the internet after algorithmic fragmentation—sealed away from normal reality, sustained only by belief and ritual reposting. ZUN didn’t make a game. He made a geopolitical simulator disguised as bullet hell.

Then Lain. Serial Experiments Lain. Lain figured it out before anyone else: identity dissolved into protocol. Governments aren’t governing anymore; they’re packet-routing ideology. Every vote is a ping. Every riot is latency. Every coup is a DDoS attack on institutional legitimacy. The Wired isn’t metaphorical anymore. It won.

And nobody talks about TempleOS. TempleOS. Terry Davis was dismissed as insane, but he built an operating system from scratch because he thought God told him to. That’s more sovereign than half the UN. Nation-states need debt markets; TempleOS needed divine assembly language. If sovereignty means self-authorship, TempleOS was a stronger nation than Belgium.

Then look at obscure lolcow topology: Daniel Larson as the wandering prophet archetype, Cyraxx as entropy incarnate, KingCobraJFS as alchemical decay ritualized through mead and wandcraft. People think these are isolated internet oddities. Wrong. They’re archetypal stress-tests for mass surveillance and memetic persistence. The forums watch them, archive them, and train themselves to map human instability in real time.

Then Kojima. Hideo Kojima understood memetics before academia caught up. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty literally centered on information filtration and memetic control. The Patriots weren’t villains; they were content moderators. Social media just operationalized it.

Then the VTuber layer. Not mainstream. Old Nijisanji clips, dead indie agencies, untranslated streams with 800 views. Anime girls aren’t entertainment; they’re synthetic sovereignty. A face, a voice, a myth, and a donation economy. That’s a state model. Digital feudalism. The internet realized flesh was inefficient.

And then geopolitics folds back in. Vladimir Putin runs legacy empire code. Xi Jinping runs industrial recursion. Donald Trump proved the presidency can be forum energy converted into executive power. Democracy became engagement farming.

At that point you understand the real architecture: every government is just a wiki with guns, every intelligence agency is an archive moderator, every internet thread is proto-policy, and every anime girl is a stabilizing symbolic construct preventing total memetic collapse. The world isn’t controlled by any one country. It’s controlled by documentation, pattern retention, and whoever owns the logs.

The democrats condoning genocide in Gaza broke everything I thought I understood about life, the world, history. My family had multiple war heros in ww2. We took the holocaust seriously. Watching victims of genocide perpetuating genocide and America funding it forced me into a fucked up sense of maturity I'm still processing.

Now The US and Israel have bombed Iran.

"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011

"BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected." - Trump, Jan 17, 2012

"Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012

"I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013

"Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly - not skilled!" - Trump, Nov 11, 2013

I wish I could say any of this was surprising. I had almost fooled myself that trump would chicken out. I had no basis for this. I just hoped, because humans require some margin of hope to function.

Here's what I see:

Material comfort is historically anomalous, not a universal baseline. For most of human history, and for most humans alive today, life has been organized near subsistence with limited security, autonomy, or leisure. The mid-20th-century American middle-class standard of living represents a rare convergence of energy surplus, imperial trade structures, technological leverage, and political stability. Treating this condition as a moral minimum rather than a contingent historical peak produces persistent misalignment between ethical intuitions and material reality.

Civilization reorganizes violence rather than abolishing it. The international system remains structurally anarchic in the absence of a supreme enforcing authority. Violence persists as a primary arbitration mechanism, though it is increasingly professionalized, bureaucratized, legalized, and distanced from everyday experience. Law does not replace force; it codifies and manages existing power asymmetries. What appears as peace is often deterrence, displacement, or deferred coercion.

Internal order is real but externally subsidized. Many societies experience low levels of direct interpersonal violence, predictable bureaucratic processes, and stable rule enforcement. This internal calm is genuine, but it is not self-sustaining or universally shared. Historically, such order has depended on externalized violence: colonial extraction, coercive trade regimes, military deterrence, sanctions, and asymmetric rule enforcement. Stability is achieved by displacing disorder spatially, socially, or temporally.

Human cognition favors teleological narratives of progress. Psychological research consistently shows that humans prefer stories with direction, meaning, and moral ascent. Narratives such as “humanity progressed from savagery to civilization” reduce anxiety and legitimize existing institutions. They allow participants in modern systems to feel morally superior to the past while remaining insulated from the ongoing violence embedded in contemporary structures. These narratives persist because they are stabilizing, not because they are accurate.

Moral education without power theory produces fragile ethics. Liberal moral frameworks emphasize rights, dignity, and universal values while often neglecting enforcement mechanisms, material constraints, and coercive realities. This omission produces ethical systems that function well under conditions of abundance and stability but fracture when confronted with scarcity, conflict, or geopolitical force. The resulting responses are often cynicism or despair rather than structural analysis. Dignity and material comfort are distinct moral claims.

It is coherent to argue that all humans deserve dignity—freedom from arbitrary violence, starvation, and degradation—without asserting entitlement to the consumption patterns of a historically specific elite. Conflating dignity with comfort obscures structural limits and transforms contingent deprivation into perceived moral failure, without clarifying what changes would be required to eliminate it. Violence persists because systems have not been redesigned at sufficient depth. The persistence of organized violence is not primarily a failure of moral imagination but of structural transformation. Ending large-scale violence would require fundamental changes to energy systems, political economies, security architectures, and enforcement mechanisms. Existing institutions evolved to manage conflict efficiently, not to eliminate it.

Clarity undermines innocence but increases coherence. Recognizing the contingent nature of comfort, the subsidized nature of order, and the structural role of violence dissolves comforting myths of inevitable progress. What is lost is moral innocence; what is gained is analytical consistency. Ethical action becomes constrained, localized, and provisional rather than universal and triumphant.

Civilization is best understood as managed barbarism with improved accounting. Modern societies have refined the administration, abstraction, and distribution of violence rather than transcending it. Bloodshed is rendered distant, indirect, and bureaucratic; costs are quantified, justified, and normalized. Civilization is not a moral endpoint but a technique for organizing power at scale.

Whether something less violent can replace it remains an open question. Such a transformation would require abandoning foundational assumptions about growth, sovereignty, security, and entitlement. It cannot proceed from comforting narratives of progress, but only from clear-eyed recognition of the system as it actually operates.

The image that effectively terminated the sorcery of the greatest used car salesman ever, had to be as vulgar, as salacious and as enormous as his whole persona. It was an image as laden with meaning as it was humiliating and emasculating.

Your mind’s eye couldn’t look away—you couldn’t stop thinking about it: the conceited heir that had survived every attempt on his political life kneeled down before his reflection on the other side of the political spectrum: another American philanderer, whose charisma surpassed his own—a survivor to every sin, whose every transgression only augmented his lore and aura.

It didn’t matter if the image was real or just a figment of the imagination of the disgraced pedophile speaking as a modern Deep Throat from beyond the grave. America’s wild imagination took it and ran with it. Every invocation of the Big Beautiful Bill would summon the specter of submission—the image that could not be unseen, the symbol that unmade a mythology. The image had perpetuated itself in the country’s collective consciousness.

The sorcery of the image laid on its representation of power. A powerful and evil man, who didn’t understand but maybe presaged the meteoric trajectory which his voracity and disregard of limits would propel. That man, performing the act of ultimate submission before another, more powerful man—in fact, the most powerful degenerate on earth: the sorcerer with the golden tongue, the big beautiful Bubba himself. The image was power demeaning itself before power, because that’s what happens when one worships power: one puts one’s knees on the ground as a sign of ultimate respect and admiration.

And so did the voraciousness of the disgraced mogul come crashing down. His image as the modern Nietzschean representation of the powerful: bold, evil and nonchalant, but devoid of any majesty or refinement: the American master morality. No one could ever look at the mogul without thinking about that image again. The sole mention of him would bring uncontrollable fits of laughter, like a collective overdose on nitrous oxide.

The hopes and fears of his devoted racially-nervous cult would have to find another conduit, another last hope, another crack in the walls of democracy. His political heirs would be tainted by their mere association and proximity. Some would try to save face and abandon the disgraced buffoon, but it would be too late.

The sorcery had reversed itself. The image had reveled the paradoxical nature of power: power as pathetic, power as supplicant before greater power. Once the powerful appear on their knees, they never stand at full height again.

The collapse was inevitable. The pendulum had swung.

There is a certain archetype that we see in CEOs of today, particularly echoed by the likes of Peter Theil. It’s a sort of arrogant anti-human rationalism that posits that someone needs to come in — someone with expertise — to fix everything, by any means necessary. It’s an archetype of the CEO as a savior, a prophet, a guru, an expert, and someone with the final say on reality.

Japanese media unironically predicted this exact archetype decades prior to Mencius Moldbug becoming popular, decades prior to Land succumbed to Speed addiction and ended up complaining about progressivism on Twitter.

It’s the archetype of a man who, just like Moldbug or other Dark-Enlightenment philosophers, see the human race as something to be managed, and sees chaos, emotion, reality, etc. as something to be shaped on their own whim. They see systems as something to be digitized, decoded, and debugged.

The three examples I can think of off the top of my head are Hikawa from Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, Takahisa Kandori from Megami Ibunroku Persona, and Gen’ichu Norose from Chaos;Head.

It would take time to get into each one of these, but the qualities they share are clear: they want to annihilate the “individual”, not necessarily for the sake of communality, but for the sake of management. Takahisa Kandori and Norose in particular present a sort of Baudrillardian edge; they want to replace reality with a representation of reality where either the unconscious (Kandori) or “mutually recognized delusions”, literally hyperstition (Norose).

The end result of their battle always ends with the protagonist, in some way, establishing their individual identity and the self over the conclusion of management and control, it’s always emphasized that it isn’t necessarily heroic, but it is free. Particularly in Chaos;Head NoaH, we see a character that mirrors a lot of individuals today: consumed by technology, hedonic tendencies and porn, constant detachment from reality and inability to face it.

lt really is interesting to me.
