Political Memes

Internet became bad when it got controlled by engagement seeking corporations.

Wrong. Having been in group chats with people I know are real and have been debunked consistently since 2020, it doesn’t matter. 80% of people pick their reality based on feels, and 30% are straight up fascists.

In the mid 90s the internet was composed primarily of the 20% of the pop who are capable of reflection.

Wrong. It is a lack of access to information. Good luck trying to find something useful on the modern Internet.

Yes, in the mid-late 90s Internet was making people cleverer. Because we didn’t have kids, influencers, politicians and activists on the Internet. It was a source of technical information managed by technical specialists. It was a good time. And you destroyed it.

this is a dumb take. the existence of wrong information doesn't negate the existence of good information on the same medium. it's like saying "i can't improve my physical fitness because i can't go to a gym," while ignoring the possibility of bodyweight exercise at home. the access is there, people just don't want to put in any work and want to blame something other than themselves.

so no, it's not a lack of access to information that's causing widespread stupidity. case in point: maga--how many of us have been outright shouting that trump is a conman, and here's the literal proof--the information, which is good, is right there. and yet people still choose to death threaten dr. fauci because they "don't like" the good information.

And without well-rounded education, which is not perfect like liberal arts we lack the ability to digest information critically. I mean you could tell people about Edward Bernays or say Alan Dulles or the evils of capitalism/imperialism and how the rich objectify us and they'll still sit there eating their ice cream at Disneyland drooling in their hedonistic stupor... Maybe really this is my own personal anxiety and as time progresses the colective subconscious will eventually awaken into a wrathful hurricane of non-discriminative re-Alignment.. As we try to manage these transitions, We become a nihilistic and we lean into it and just allow nature to take its course. For justice is always served, not in my time, not in my interest. Thank gawd, all men die.We are an anti-social society that rewards anti-social behavior. I just think about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. We poison the well we drink from and without self-awareness, curiosity kills the cat.. Superposition can eat my ass. And it could be described as the Imperial Boomerang or in the military communities, like intelligence, it's called blowback. I think we live in the era of the Limp Dick, the self-fulfilling prophecy, the exponential feedback loop on a road to nowhere with tracks coming to an end.. And peoples the likes of Elon Musk, who are high on ketamine or any other chemical., are sitting there, staring at themselves in the mirror. As if it's their world and we're just living in it. As if they are somehow not a part of the collective. The Singularity is just our collective ego focused on just a few ambitious fools and artificial intelligence is our collective efforts mirrored back to ourselves with the wizard of Oz turning the dial. There is no wonder that this "man" edong breeds like a rat he knows what he is doing is wrong, but he just can't help himself.. It makes sense that the population is declining, and that's a good thing. It shows that the people are actually somewhat waking up at least subconsciously. Elon is no overman.. But a reprobate and a rapist.. Relative, none of us have free will. But it doesn't justify not focusing on maintaining ones own individual autonomy. I don't tell my immune system what to do. I don't tell my lungs to breathe. The collective self needs these things to happen in order for me (ego) to exist. It's kind of like a paradox, but a paradox is just... We are blinded to the truths of reality, somewhere down the causational chain, there is still some form of binary. We just can't see it.. I'm not talking about being passive, and I'm not talking about not playing your part in any revolutionary action. I'm just saying, know, your place in the natural hierarchy and exhibit or execute your nature. When I see incredibly anti-social and destructive behavior in our society, I don't cry out to gawd. I know why things happen the way they do. Possibly we've gone past the point of no return. We spit in the face of the natural hierarchy for so long. We cut down trees and wipe our ass. Mark Fisher killed himself because he was anxious and he didn't want to watch the World Burn. But me? I'm okay with it. I'm curious to see what will happen. I do know the piglets, the imperial piglets eventually, either them or their children will face consequences. Justice is always served. I don't want what the rich man has. I think the rich man is lazy, tacky and gross. I like bottom feeders and beneficial parasites. No War but the Class War.

Chapter 57 of the Tao Te Ching

Rule a nation with justice. Wage war with surprise moves. Become master of the universe without striving. How do I know that this is so? Because of this!

The more laws and restrictions there are, The poorer people become. The sharper men's weapons, The more trouble in the land. The more ingenious and clever men are, The more strange things happen. The more rules and regulations, The more thieves and robbers.

Therefore the sage says: I take no action and people are reformed. I enjoy peace and people become honest. I do nothing and people become rich. I have no desires and people return to the good and simple life.
