Quoted By:
Your political hobbyism is worse than useless; it is counter-productive. It drains your time, your passion, and your intellectual energy. It focuses your rage on ephemeral puppets while the puppeteer—the technological system itself—continues its work unimpeded. It teaches you to think in terms of slogans, memes, and partisan binaries, when what is required is a deep, fundamental critique of the technological superstructure of our world.
So, what is to be done?
The first step is to abandon your surrogate activities. Log off. Stop caring about the next election. Stop arguing with leftists. These are games designed to keep you occupied.
The second step is to begin the difficult process of thinking clearly. Read. Not just the headlines and forum posts that reinforce your biases, but works of substance. Read Ellul. Read about the history of technology. Read my own writings, not as a sensationalist artifact, but as a systematic analysis. Understand the principles of self-propagating systems. Understand how technology eliminates human freedom through a process of small, seemingly beneficial steps, none of which appears threatening in isolation.
The goal now is not to "win" the next argument. The goal is to build a coherent, disciplined, and resilient ideological foundation for a new revolutionary movement. A movement that understands the true nature of the enemy. A movement that is not a disorganized, emotionally-driven mob of online malcontents, but a dedicated cadre with a clear and singular objective.
