The Problem Isn’t AI or Politics
Accelerationism to Human Irrelevance
Promised Jetpacks, Gave Us Gig Work and Surveillance
Let’s talk a little about the new ideology.
Power is never truly spread out. It’s concentrated in networks of skill, coordination, and money. Everyone gets one vote, but access, influence, and control over the story belong to CEOs, donors, media bosses, and bureaucrats — modern-day lords. When the public is pacified with food, distractions, and numbness, they lose their real power: unpredictable collective action. Without mobs or movements, all that remains are likes, lists, and legal complaints.
This isn’t just about hate; it’s a control system. It’s a crude method to limit the population's future. When society breaks and power is scarce, some cling to outdated ideas — confusing dominance with order and seeing “the feminine” as a threat. These people aren’t leaders; they’re stuck in the past, trying to revive a failed blueprint. But the symbol they carry? It means they don’t fight fire with fire — they fuel it. They add fuel to capitalism, collapse, and decay, hoping their ideas will rise from the ashes.
But if we destroy the system to rule the ruins, are we truly leading or just narrating chaos?
