"Necrocapitalism is a wildfire: as brilliant and vigorous as it may begin, it soon finds itself searching for new turf to digest. Even in the cemetery of extinction, the embers of profit still burn bright, quietly, patiently waiting for any new green shoots to devour."

“As a desperate humanity attempts to flee the fires and floods it has set in motion, it will follow the same ancient knee-jerk reactions: look for solutions in half-baked technology and “destroy-now, pay-later capitalism” rather than look deep within itself” www.hawaii.edu/vice-versa/i...

The purpose of authority, religion and the media is and has always been to make our unbearable dystopias appear palatable, useless products appear essential, and corrupt leaders appear honest.

Exploitation and deception are most effective when people are kept busy and desperate.

All the crimes humanity perpetrated on this planet, it has also perpetrated on itself: destruction, extinction and exploitation are not side effects but essential elements of this civilisation’s operating system.

All dystopias make themselves invisible by becoming the “new normal”: a tolerable form of pain no one ever dares describe as a “dystopia”, given they have nothing to compare it to

“There is a reason why LGBTQ communities have become the posterchild of Trump’s social holocaust: we are a symbol of social evolution, and therefore the ones who should be punished first as a warning to other groups in society who dare to assert their right to exist” tsakraklides.com/2025/02/18/e...

Currencies led to the transmutation of happiness from the tangible to the abstract, therefore rendering happiness fundamentally unattainable. The collapse of civilisation is nothing but the suicide of a species that tried too hard to make itself happy.
