21st century schizoid men
Humanity is slowly degenerating as it faces its possible extinction, this degeneration is not a cultural one as some may suggest. Ever since the spreading of consumer technology and the internet our fate has been sealed, some have recognised this and adopted a reactionary position of primitivism — the return to pre-industrial society, of course this is a position so laughable it’s not even worth considering!
But the mere existence of this idea proves something, not everything is alright. The internet is a pacifier that is used to keep us docile, a pacifier that also strips us from our humanity, from both realms of life; sacrum and profanum. Both the flesh and the spirit are stripped from us turning us into husks, of course this is used by the bourgeoisie to their advantage because it ensures the doom of the proletariat. Nihilistic individualism and other anti-human degenerations have taken root in our society, mainly due to liberalism and capitalism, this is extremely evident in the ex-Warsaw pact countries.
In these countries after the full on restoration of capitalism and takeover of anti-human liberalism the societies have gone into a frenzy of hyper-indoctrination. The brainwashing of generations raised after the collapse is intensified in order to erase the collectivist ethos of the previous socialist society, this process strips the humanity from people leaving them as husks who exist only for depravation to feel a rush of dopamine and hyper-consumption.
This abhorrent process combined with the everyday misery of existence under neoliberalism has created modern society, which is nothing but a cannibalistic schizophrenic death cult, a puppet show for the ones who rob us of humanity to enjoy and gleefully laugh at their work.
Technology has helped in the destruction of humanity, replacing everyday activities and interactions for digital ones who have only a hint of the meaning that the real ones possess. It has led to crippling loneliness and resentment amongst the modern youth.
Technology is what gives rise to modern 21st century fascism, unlike its 20th century counterpart it’s cause is the alienation of the digital existence, people see the dark path humanity is heading towards, they feel the need for community and unity, they see the weakness of society and even themselves, and so they reach for the easiest and simplest thing that presents itself as a solution; fascism. And so they hand over what’s left of their lives to a vague notion of tradition and unity that in reality is nothing but a mask, worn by a resentful mother that eats her own children.
The rise of so called internet “slacktivism” and internet politics is also a curious consequence of digital existence. Since reality has been replaced by an abominable internet copy so have been its politics, people naturally get involved in politics as their lives go on, radicalised and often pacified by the things they encounter during their lives, and so they join organisations and do political work. That’s how it was done during the days of actual reality, in the desolation of 21st century digital reality people seek to emulate political action, but they do it in funny ways such as starting pages and “collectives” on social media to spread ideology, writing useless petitions, debating, and so on, but this never turns into real world action, all of the political work stays in the digital reality and has no impact, and fundamentally nothing changes, only the ones participating grow more and more alienated and resentful to the point of complete burnout, and so the cycle continues.
With the rise of this degenerate modernity the possibilities for the future of humanity look very grim, to find hope and to effectively hold on to it is a very difficult task, and I sincerely admire all who are capable of it, but I personally have lost all hope long ago, and I see humanity as doomed.
