The Beast's Final Feast
The USA won't bounce back from a new era of unbridled swindle.
The polycrisis that began to develop in the 19th Century with modern techno-industrial fossil-fueled capitalism is in its final stage. Global financialized, energy and materials-intensive capitalism has burned through resources in a mad effort to put a price on everything, including the living systems it can't exist without and doesn't value as an integral whole.
The Genies, invisible to most of us, are out of the black box, vandalizing Nature.
TESCREAL accelerationism is the end game of rapacious capitalism. Omicidal Homo hubris/storyteller wants to become a machine replacing life, ready to consume all the energy in the Universe—this, of course, is an insane, black hole for a soul delusion.
Tens of millions of U.S. Americans must revolt and end this sociological pathology, or the Republic will balkanize.
The Players in the USA have always been above the law. The legal code was always about controlling capital and less about justice. Throughout history, people have sacrificed their lives for every bit of justice, freedom, license, and liberty they could get.
Europe and the United Kingdom can't help Uncle Sam with proxy wars against powerful peers. Russia and China are not helpless, so a collision of the willing won’t arise to dominate them.
For now, the Empire is bogged down in the Middle East bombing poor and helpless people and uncorking new civil wars to move markets. Chaos in the Middle East is always profitable for a particular class of people in the anglosphere. Sam only collaborates for the War Racket. The War Racket is not about winning and all about profits. Sam would never cooperate with peer nations to develop solutions in service to life, that is anathema to his ethos and way of life.
“The West” will continue doing what it does—it’s incapable of breaking away from its sacred socioeconomic belief system (characterized best by the Austrian school of economics). The global economy is not dedicated to developing and maintaining healthy living systems fit for posterity. In the international market system, everything is for sale. We will continue to feed "the growth machine" until it blows up or we run out of easy-to-extract, cheap energy, and our global supply chains grind to a halt. It takes a while for a civilization to collapse.
One might hope younger people will battle their addictions, turn away from super-normal stimuli, educate themselves about how we got into this predicament, and create new systems dedicated to life, for life begets life and depends on living systems.
Study biology and thermodynamics.
Some projects take Great Nature fully into account, but they are relatively unknown, unpopular, and insignificant. If integral projects began to gain traction from large numbers of people and replicated worldwide, the Players of The Great Game would do everything in their power to destroy them—a cursory understanding of history validates that thought.
Civilization will sacrifice itself at the altar of the Market System. "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."
It’s essential to spend less time "having the conversation" and more time organizing global mass resistance against the Dark Tetrad, seven deadly sins addicted "Players" who run the world.
Who will sacrifice an hour a week away from their screens, much less their lives, to overthrow them? At the very least, let us move forward lovingly, carefully, and humbly in the face of our fate.
In the explosive first episode of The Nerd Reich podcast, host Gil Duran teams up with economic sociologist Brooke Harrington and internet politics expert Dave Karpf to decode the alarming rise of "network states." They're diving deep into how tech billionaires like Elon Musk are trying to dismantle traditional governance to create power structures through crypto and artificial intelligence. They discuss the hidden dangers behind AI-driven governance, the disturbing intersection of wealth and political influence, and why understanding human behavior through humanities matters now more than ever. Plus, they share bold predictions about where tech authoritarianism is heading and reveal powerful strategies for resisting the growing control of billionaire tech elites.
