We find ourselves caught in one of powers great traps. Unable to challenge systems without partaking in them, using the resources we consume to put forth the propagate ideas against overconsumption, advocating for peace on platforms whose algorithms and lack of moderation profit from the spread of hate.


To rebel against capitalist greed and techno feudalists is to find yourself forced to play upon the field you’d rather burn.

“Condemned to use the tools of the enemy to defeat them”


Focusing on this minutia of a moral quandary holds little in the way of solace. We won’t find a solution in isolating ourselves, we won’t change the minds of one room by talking in another, and we certainly won’t raise each other up by pulling ourselves down. I’m sure we’d all prefer to find change in small moments of individual progress & heroism, in leading by example, and I am by no means saying you shouldn’t do that, but I no longer think it is enough.


The games in a different stage now, a stage that demands participation to affect change, so we must all become Trojan horses.


We must bury our blades up to the hilt in irony.


Give callous controlling ego its stage of smoke & mirror before turning on the house lights, over cranking the smoke machine, and letting it be wounded by its own visage, whilst it chokes on the gas’s of its lies. Gamify the algorithm to draw attention to genocide, use phone cameras and livestreams to force accountability for authorities actions, collage ai in to critique of over consumption, abuse corporate double speak to plainly say something they don’t want you to.


Turn content in to comment on all they wish to distract you from.


Maliciously comply with the minimum definition of your wage.


Fight them in ways they understand, lest we all tilt at windmills.
