Progress comes at a cost, Freedom isn’t free, If you want to make an omelet you have to crack some eggs.
Modernity requires the relinquishing of lifestyles that have been part of the human experience for all of recored history but the big question is if the juice is worth the squeeze?
History is studied, cited and taught to give our current status quo context. This context is often invoked to justify the cost of modernity. Everything from our religious beliefs, to our governmental structure and our economy exist within a carefully constructed framework of “consensus narratives” which pacify the masses into compliance with the “plan”.
The prevailing/mainstream narrative of history is a linear progression from the primitive “Stone Age” towards the modern technological “Information Age”. This is referred to as a “progression” from a miserable existence battling for scraps to our current gleeful existence of abundunce. Any perceived downside to this progress can be justified by the fruits of modernity.
Pipelines criss cross our lands, high voltage power lines are strung above our heads all while the water is pulled out from under our feet and we are told it is progress. Our environment is continually being polluted through accidental spills and intentional dumping, but it has to happen.. for progress. One of the new battles that is popping up all around Texas as well as the whole world are DATA centers. Which consume huge amounts of water and which consume so much power that small nuclear reactors on site are proposed to power them. But rest assured that these DATA centers are for us… for progress.
The dangling carrot of progress
This same type of Gaslighting has been used to send soldiers to war, has justified slavery, and has fueled countless other atrocities throughout the ages and still continue today.
This type of undermining is highlighted in the novel The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
The Dust bowl, Economic crash, and industrialization all combined to destroyed a once Proud land owning farmer class of Agrarian Americans leaving in the ruins a nomadic class of farmer classified by the state as vagrants or “migrant” labor. They forced “Subsistence” farmers to switch to “Commodities” which required participation in financial entanglements forcing farmers to take loans out for next years crop. As industrialization dropped the “cost” of production for large businesses it made competition impossible for the “small scale COMMODITIES growers”. This allowed industrialist to control all forms of production by eliminating the compitition through market manipulation.
In the same way that the subsistence life style of the early “American” frontier was bulldozed for commodity farming the human soul is being harvested for DATA centers to be build. DATA Centers= SkyNet
They are building nuclear powered Computer centers that can be used to “store” and process DATA. We are being told it is to power the new AI revolution but I think that is bull shit. It is a new apparatus for commodifying the planet.
Projects like these receive millions of dollars in government AID, AKA YOUR tax money, Money that could be used for schools, given to farmers to grow clean food, given to the sick and dying to elevate suffering and improve the quality of what remaining life they have left….
No. billions of dollars for a project RUN BY A NUCLEAR REACTOR can use all our precious water to cool servers that process all of our information so that the billion dollar TECH company can better convince me to give them the rest of my money and the souls of Our children!
How Do You Free Yourself From a Prison You Can not See?
Using your eyes for the first time
We live in a propaganda machine that was built by the most proficient and genius magicians that have ever lived. Your thoughts are not your own. We justify atrocities because WE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO! It is not an accident that most people can’t point out the Middle East on a map, or explain taxation through the inflation of fiat money. This demonic system of explicit coercion exploits our collectivist nature using our very biology and cognitive development against us.
We must first admit that we have a problem. We are living in a society with advanced hardware and we are running cave man software. They know what they are doing to you, They are intensional in their attempt to create a victim or reliant hive minded mass. We must resist the urges of these digital demons and steer our selfs, our communities and lastly our society towards a spiritual revolution that will translate into the next enlightenment era of you social growth.

There are a lot of parents that are not going to appreiecate this and there is a level of shaming in this but GET THE GODDAMN PHONE OUT OF YOUR CHILDS HAND! IT IS A DRUG! It is literally reforming the Childs brain to be more susceptible to “scroll” based manipulation. YOU ARE HADICAPING YOUR CHILD! Breaking thier legs. literally putting obstacles in your Childs life for a momentary subduing of the child. I have friends, family, and I have used technology to control a child and sneak a moment of relief, we just have to remember, just like with other addicting cultural practices, we build up first a tolerance then a dependency.
If you find yourself in a mode of justification when someone tells you that you have a problem then you most certainly have a problem…
Join the Food revolution
Our culture is full of small scale positive movements that can radically shift our reliance on BIG food and can lead a movement towards GENERATIONAL living and a renewed priority of food security.
The objective should be that there is no ruling class. Each community, orginasation, and individual contribute to and from the existence of other’s, promoting collaboration over competition. Not top down but centergistic control.
