If you’ve followed the arc of western culture for the last few hundred years, you would see that its all about manufacturing consent in the form of an array of weaponized information.
Ai and ai slop, ai bias, ai cults, ai “religion”, ai “romance” are all sprouting from the mutilated carcass of trust.
Trust which was once based in local communities with elders. Now fractured and fragmented, murdered by the state.
States hate communities.
States and the elites that run the state do not want resilient communities with trust. Because that is the protection from propaganda.
So we enter the era of brute force propaganda.
Meme warfare.
No more need to hide the facts.
Just flood the zone with noise.
So much information that humans can’t figure out which is true or false.
That way, the lie can hide in plain sight, because it’s dressed up in the target audience’s biases.
People who are susceptible to cults, salvation, western colonial ideology are perfect citizens. They are either willing foot soldiers in the technofeudal economy, or unwilling exploited laborers in said economy.
In the past, stolen land was only as profitable the slave labor you could deploy and control on that land.
Now, the new land grab is your data. Your biometric data, your social relational data, your ideological data. Your data harvested like cotton.
You are both slave and stolen land.
The body and the senses, the mind and perception — fully colonized.
This has always been the trajectory.
There is a way out, but you have to want to unplug from the devil’s bargain. You have to want to feel the discomfort of detox.
You have to want to recognize that your own obsession with gaining self-advantage is how they get you.
Please share this with everyone you know.
