How is the Western world actually governed? The authorities of this world deny human agency, demand obedience in all matters private and public, and treat each human life as expendable. There is no doubt in my mind that there are anti-humans in charge of this Hell realm. The worst part is that it doesn't have to be like this; the rules of this world are maintained by behavioral manipulation, which generally requires the consent of the manipulated. Since most people willingly consent to low quality of life, loss of liberties and totalitarian government, it is what we get and deserve as a society.
The only agency that people have is in their own minds. That's why governments spend billions on propaganda, to manufacture consent. In the USA, the people ostensibly have the right to free speech and the right to assembly granted by the 1st amendment, but in practice your opinions do not matter since the conditions of protest are defined by the state. It would be difficult for Americans to take back their own country, which is seemingly ongoing with the Trump administration, but I think that any attempts at reform will only prolong the malicious governance of the USA.
What if a better USA could be willed into existence? It would require changing the hearts and minds of most people in this country, and probably a full-on purge of existing power structures, which likely won't happen without truly austere conditions. Citizens of the USSR in the 1980s knew that what they heard from Pravda were just lies, but Americans are only waking up to the lies from Western media. Change can only be brought about from within.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ― Leo Tolstoy
Origins of hyperstition
The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace. — Nick Land, Meltdown
What could the writings of Nick Land, Deleuze & Guattari, or Georges Bataille tell us about the political landscape of the West? Landian schizo-analysis or U/Acc presents the idea of anti-praxis, the opposite of praxis which asks "what is to be done?" Anti-praxis suggests that intentional praxis may not bring about the intended effect, or that the intention itself may not be on behalf of one's own agency.
How many impotent protests brought zero changes in the real world? From anti-war protests to social justice movements, none of them succeed in advancing any political interest unless they were ordained by the deep state. Aaron Bushnell may have died for what he believed to be a noble cause, but his death changed nothing.
The simpler a society is, the more it resembles a body without organs. Lacking complex structures, the BwO remains largely undifferentiated in its cellular structure, like a freshly laid egg. Complex societies overcomplicate, layering bureaucracies upon bureaucracies, and ultimately collapse under the burden of their own upkeep. A drastic simplification in American society is in order, as a heavily bureaucratic system as complex as the USA can not survive the competency crisis.
Hyperstitions are beliefs which are assumed to be true, which wills them into being. Hyperstitional politics is the presumption of where society should already be, leading to discussion or acting on that belief. The belief must exist first, and the issue at hand is that the contemporary USA is a nihilistic society that effectively believes in nothing, has no shared goals, and may already be facing a constitutional crisis. It is no surprise that the USA is treated as an economic zone by foreign occupants, rather than a country.
Restoring liberty
"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
The cult of safetyism, think of the children, Brady Campaign and other groups demanding that "we should do something about it!" are the useful idiots who deprive society of essential liberty. Think about how many laws there are just for the state to intrude on your private affairs: you should be able to drive a car without a seatbelt, or saw off a barrel, or sell your own homegrown food. It is not out of concern for your safety, but an excuse for the state to harass private citizens.
People rarely think of laws from the perspective of lawmakers, and think that they won't abuse their power. I understand that pornography is poisonous to the mind, but the useful idiots trying to ban pornography are just giving another excuse for the state to censor everything. People who are naive about how authority works enable the sociopaths at the top.
Global police surveillance state
We are already living in Magnasanti, and have been living in it for the past century or so, it is a reflection of modern globohomo (all sexual, ethnic, racial and national identity is broken down) civilization. Magnasanti optimizes for maximum human population to the detriment of everything else, including lifespan, personal liberty, education, and overall human happiness. A hyper-efficient police state squashes any dissent to maintain control no matter how petty it may be. A failed state is a superpower, particularly within the boundaries of that failed state.
Anyone who uses social media, traditional financial systems or centralized crypto exchanges, proprietary software, unencrypted communications, is a slave to the system. I mean this not in any derogatory sense, as any decent man of our time is a coward and a slave. To even passively resist by using Tor, or privacy-respecting cryptocurrencies like Monero, or open-source operating systems like Linux, or private communications like PGP, marks oneself as an enemy of the state. Blending in with the normies may as well be the safer option.
Slave morality
The framework of Western governance can be found in the scriptures of the Holy Bible: Romans 13:1-6, which includes the passage: "The authorities that exist have been established by God". This grants authority figures carte blanche and divine right to rule arbitrarily. To consent to malicious governance, just following orders, because a religious framework said so, is unconscionable. Nietzsche wrote that democracy results in the "collective degeneration of man," which echoes Plato's argument that democracy is not a virtuous form a government because it places power in the hands of the uninformed and uneducated masses.
Governance in the USA is more akin to fascism in the original sense of corporations and oligarchs running government, they also require massive power structures to enforce their authoritarian rule. In other words, it requires incentives for those lower on the power structure to submit to those above them, otherwise the system would collapse.
Almost every intelligent person I have met in my life has rebelled against authority in their minds and sometimes actions. They know something is wrong with who rules over us, but are essentially powerless to do anything about it. Even if one takes no action, they will spare no effort to root out passive resistance through exceedingly efficient AI systems, just to reinforce who is in control.
Tyranny of the majority
Why American society is so regressive, is that we are ruled by absolute retards: the opinions of the least intelligent are those which are enacted into law. This isn't just the politicians who represent the states or federal government, but the people who vote for them. To be a highly conscious individual in a society run by morons, is daily torture.
The idea that democracy is so virtuous that the USA needs to go to war with other countries to spread democracy is comical. Failed states often need a scapegoat for their own failures, and in the USA that would be Chinese Americans, since they have little to no hard power over Chinese people in China. All that is needed for the sociopaths in power to maintain control is effective propaganda for the masses: their Two Minutes Hate for Chinese or Russian people. That illusion may fade with the rise of 小红书 (Little Red Book).
The ideal state
It is utterly useless for me to pontificate on what a utopia would look like, as all utopias turn out to be dystopias. I have come to see authority as necessary evil, in that they overwhelmingly abuse their power but in the absence of a state, humanity is ill equipped for anarchic society without a spiritual revolution.
I will be forthcoming in my own political views and state that the ideal state is as small as possible, or a night-watchman state. The only way to curb abuse of power, is to grant as few powers as possible to the state. They should be limited to only the enforcement of moral law or physis, that which is simple to understand and universally accepted.
I may not have the correct answer to what ideal governance may look like, but it sure as hell isn't the deep state, globohomo, new world order, or whatever regime is currently in control.
