That’s not what resistance means

This month I have two things to talk about. The first is in the title. A decade ago, I wrote about reaction, revolution and resistance. Two years after I wrote these articles, the US elected Trump and the Democrats turned #resist into a marketing slogan. This was followed with very little action worthy of the […]

Radical honesty

So this month I have been hearing a lot of “Trump is destroying western democracy.” No, he is not. He could not. Trump is an easily replaceable symptom of much bigger problems facing western democracies. Regardless of the outcome of the US election, these bigger problems will need to be addressed and the longer it is […]

Fact free nihilism

Last month I wrote about corporate coercion of Tiktok audiences and influencers and mentioned that the “political and personal consequences of what has been created are both much more harmful”. As I wrote then, “Under TikTok’s opaque algorithm, being seen requires following trends.”  … Read more here. … Every Canadian had their home pages flooded […]

The future of social media

Once upon a time, people programmed technology. Now technology programs people, the most programmable things on earth. Read the rest of the article with the Binding Chaos community! Technology is programming people. It is programming them into dopamine fiends who labour for free. Tiny spurts of dopamine have replaced salaries. All of AI, all of […]

Kamala, Trump, and shifting endo-idealism

All three of the published Binding Chaos books are available for free on the Patreon Discord, open to anyone at murmuration or higher! So the Democrats have finally become interesting. The US tragedy for years has been that on the right they have actual nazis, and on the left they have people who can’t win […]

The new editions of Binding Chaos and The Creation of Me, Them and Us, along with the brand new book, Abstracting Divinity, are all now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and everywhere else. I am so grateful for the patience and support of all of my patrons. I could not have done all of this without […]

The coercion and exploitation of men

The complete copy of Abstracting Divinity is now available on the Discord for members. Join us! I have been writing about coercion all month and specifically reviewing targeted coercion of men as a state and corporate tool. In the middle of this, I noticed Bumble hyping a rebranding since their stock has been tanking for […]

The negative image of youth

Last month’s newsletter was about an emerging endo-idealism around age. To clarify, I am talking about the creation of a power structure. Improving health is a wonderful goal. Using it to create a negative image and endo-ideals is not. As we discussed, the creation of youth endo-idealism included changing the definition of the word age to […]

The age of the body

I am publishing the full post here this month in honour of Spring (where I am at the moment). You can read all the posts and join the discussions with the Binding Chaos community here! This post is more easily understood if you are familiar with the concepts in The Creation of Me, Them and […]

The birth strike

While a capitalist who invests in anything that produces income is entitled to a return on investment, women who produced the entire work force have received none. – Me I was looking recently at what I wrote years ago in Binding Chaos and on my blog about women’s unpaid labour. Politically, almost nothing has improved […]
