A Race Between Revolution And Robotics: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

Basically we are looking at a race to see if the deterioration of material conditions inherent in capitalism leads to mass-scale revolution before the plutocrats have the technological and legal ability to roll out robot and drone security forces.

We are fed non-stop messaging that we are inadequate unless we buy certain products, that mass military slaughter is normal, that madness is sanity, and that you are the problem if you can not keep your head above water in a system that is designed to drown you, and people wonder why there is a mental health crisis.

The problem is that while not many people really benefit from the status quo, those who do are in a position of influence over everyone else. So you get a non-stop barrage of media pundits, movies and TV shows acting like everything is fine, and this shapes our entire culture.

What we need first and foremost, more than socialism or anarchism or any other ism, is real transparency. We need peoples vision of what is going on in the world to be unobscured by government-corporate-financial secrecy and propaganda. Once we can see, we can figure things out from there.

How can we navigate toward a healthy world when we can not even see what is happening??

Militaries understand that you need intelligence before you can act efficaciously; you need to be able to look before you leap, to see and know what you are dealing with so you can take action which accords with reality. Truth is hidden and obscured from us precisely for this reason: because knowledge is power, and they want all the power.

That is what Mr. Julian Assange was going for when he founded WikiLeaks: a tool to help the people see and know what is going on in the world so we can act in an informed way.

That is also why he is in prison.

The amount of power one is given should have a directly inverse relationship with the amount of secrecy they are allowed to have. Power with secrecy is illegitimate. If you have got power over people you do not get to keep secrets from them.

Whenever I say the United States is the most destructive government in our world today, the only people who argue with me are those who simply have not thought very hard about how many people have been killed by the United States of Americas current wars and sanctions regimes. Cool withdrawal bro-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) July 26, 2021

Hi I would like two trillion dollars over the next twenty years to build a giant brick mountain in the middle of the desert.

"What? No, piss off."

Okay well can I have two trillion dollars over the next twenty years to murder people in Afghanistan for no legitimate reason??

"Sure, why not."

Most of the time you hear someone crying about people being oppressed by a tyrannical authoritarian foreign government they are really just crying because they want those people to be oppressed by the tyrannical authoritarians in the United States government.

"Capitalism is responsible for the historically unprecedented level of human thriving we have today. Also, anything you say in criticism of capitalism regarding our current system is invalid because this system is not real capitalism. Both of these things are true for me somehow."

If you ever get lonely just whisper "I do not care for Elon Musk" to yourself and his fans will come crashing through your wall to defend his honor.

"I do not like the United States ruling the world with nonstop violence either, but if it was not us it would be China!"

No unipolar global hegemon ever once existed in human history until three decades ago. Stop thinking of it as some unbreakable law of nature that there must always be one.

Saying you can not end the United States empire because China will replace it is the same as saying you can not stop raping someone because then someone else would rape them.

Westerners act like the desire to conquer a planet is some kind of inescapable inherent trait in human DNA because it is more comfortable than considering the possibility that it is a mind virus that is unique to our society.

The idea that China wants to become the next unipolar dominator assumes (A) China has the same values and interests as western imperialists, and (B) that Beijing is looking at the United States empire eating itself alive and thinking "Yeah, that looks awesome! That could be us someday!"

Many people say China openly wants to replace the United States as the unipolar hegemon, but if you actually examine the sources of their claim it is always just China saying it wants a multipolar world and western propagandists falsely spinning that as evidence that China wants to become the next unipolar dominator.

Not even Hitler wanted to take over the entire world, he just wanted to expand Germanys borders and dominate Europe; that is why he was fine with the prospect of a Japanese empire throughout Asia. Acting like taking over the planet is an inherent drive within us all is a total propaganda fabrication.

An adept manipulator does not always need to feed you lies; they prefer to get you inventing your own lies and gaslighting yourself.

An adept empire does not always need to topple governments by military force; they prefer to manipulate the nations people into doing it for them.

The saying "it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism" rings true not because it is inherently hard to imagine the end of capitalism, but because vast fortunes are poured into propaganda campaigns to keep us from imagining a better world.

The lions share of the propaganda machines energy goes not into manufacturing consent for new toxic agendas but into manufacturing consent for the systems that are already in place. Into keeping everyone thinking this bat shit insane paradigm is normal and the only way things can possibly be.
