To be clear, I am an anarchist. This is a real and develop political ideology that is important to understand beyond the propaganda we have all been taught. I believe that our future is one of a political ideology of anarcho-syndicalism. However what distinguishes the form of syndicalism that I see is not one of labor, or worker’s unions—but value itself. Sound familiar?

This is exactly why we will get a homegrown American fascist movement that will be outside and beyond republican lettuces-handed rightism, and it will become the most powerful political contingent to ever exisit. The left will be begging for Trump in 8 years when they see what has been created from this. And to be clear, fascism has ALWAYS been cultivated as an anti-socialism movement. That’s why it’s national socialism and not international socialism. View quoted note →

This is a really, really big deal for creatives who constantly get fucked over, exploited, and taken advantage of by centralized services. View quoted note →

GM, it’s official Off-tober now. I try to use each October to try to get my shit together a little more than the month before. This offtober I’m gonna try to get ‘off’ cigarettes for the month, and ‘off’ my ass to work out everyday. We will see how it goes, but I’m setting the intention here and now, and will revisit next month to see how I do.

Sorry, I’ve been pretty bitchy lately from a combination of personal life events, watching the catastrophe of American politics, and listening to everyone’s uninformed and absolutely banal opinions.

I am forced to live in a reality with a bunch of smooth brained morons who are incapable of thinking of a world where they are not slaves. Sigh.

If I’m around normal people for too long, I feel existential estranged and start to get really depressed and like there must be something wrong with me. Then I get to be alone in the forest for a week, and I’m happy as a clam again. Turns out that NPCs are poison for my mind, and crushing for my soul.

We are in the middle of an inflationary crisis that ends in hyperinflation—mostly because 90% of people are highly regarded and will follow others off a cliff if that ‘feels right.’ I understand that it’s like talking about preparing for an earthquake. They happen so infrequently that the idea of being in an 8.0+ quake seems impossible—yet many people who live in earthquake regions are poorly, if not at all prepared. This is simply a function of the human brain being unable to adequately calculate tail-risks, nor understand that inflation, like an earthquake, is a white swan, not a black swan event. Everyone will get fucked by hyperinflation, and every fucking muppet on the block will act like they could have never seen it coming. You absolutely can, it’s just hard to look at; so most don’t. If you want some chance of not watching everything you’ve worked for in your life from evaporation away, you will need Bitcoin to save.

I paid $25 for a burrito and drink last night. The dollar is fucked and you’ll never see prices go down unless your unit of account is Bitcoin.

“But Erik, no one cares about decentralized, open-source, censorship-resistant protocols!” Right, just like how most of the Jews in Germany in 1935, despite the writing on the wall that what was going to happen was much more horrific than what had happened, most just kept plugging along, staying in their lane, oblivious to their own impending murder by the state. “The state would never let that happen!” They did and they’ll do it again. And again. And again. They keep stealing, killing, and violating every ‘right’ you have until you don’t let them do it anymore. Or they enslave you. Or kill you. Look, all the lemmings are gonna living in the camps, lick the boots, eat the bugs, and own nothing and ‘be happy’ under the tutelage of global ‘happy happy nice nice we all love each other and are totally equal…except for white men who are piece of shit who must burn’ communism. These people are worse than useless, but are detrimental to creating real change where we could be empowered against such totalitarianism, but refuse to engage it in any meaningful intellectual manner, because they are cowards and slaves, abated mostly unconsciously. They have allowed for the brainwashing to convince them the state is just a giant daddy to care for them and keep them safe. While it is true, it’s a much more sinister version that’s more than happy to engage in filicide because you didn’t clean your room. Trying to convince these people of real change and empowerment is a waste of time. Focus your efforts on people who want to be helped, and are willing to actually think about why you might need these tools in the future and to prepare for such a future. The masses are not our allies or friends, and we should stop looking to them as such. Change will come when we valiantly push forward with courage and tenacity that we have the solutions that are needed, and finding those who want to actively work with us to improve, deploy, and develop said solutions.

Voting AT ALL is a detrimental process of giving your power away. At best you may be afforded some small local changes, in exchange for compliance towards the global war machine and obed This behavior seeks permission from structures of abuse and exploitation to ask for the possibility of the political—which will never be given. This is why we’ve never seen a plebiscite to end unconstitutional wars
