im getting tired of this shit, man. even on the supposedly deep fringes of society, everything has been recuperated and washed down by the system. no one dares to speak even a modicum of truth and how/what they really feel about shit in modern times for they are afraid of being accused with wrongthink and not pre approved modes of speech.
people were always sheep/npc and the normies always were in bigger numbers, but there was a crease, a crack in the pavement (so to speak) where you could theoretically fall under (even for a brief period) and the system couldnt give less of a shit about it. now its sealed, im afraid, forever.
someone said sometime that the powers that be want you in either 4 places: work, school, prison or a shopping mall.
notice how, in a certain way, all of these places are interchangeable. its a controled experience from start to finish, you have to abide by the rules of the place OR ELSE, nobody there is there bcs they truly want to, someone is trying to sell you something (either an idea or a product, both suck/are incomplete experiences mimicking some other, real one) and there's authorities guiding/excerting power over you, either directly or covertly.
brocels shit on leftist ideology/thinkers, but french authors had a thing or two to say about this.
i will spare you the details, but it goes something like this: in old systems of power, there was always either one of two: a guiding hand, together with a notebook/manual (either a physical or an implied one), or a punishment stick, which translates to prisons, mental wards, tortures, etc.
there was a simple problem with this system. you cant excert direct power over people 24/7, in every place they are in, without exceptions.
now that's not specifically the case. we live under a global regime where people themselves self-censor, control and excert the brutal power over themselves (so they dont suffer more covert, cowardly means of control, such as ostracization, scrutiny, cancellation) without an external force necessarily guiding them to do it. basically a psychological panopticon.
in other words, this is a prison. i want out
