AI Doomerism is a Psyop. Don't Fall for It.
They don't care about us. They only care about what we think, and they want us to think their AI dystopia is inevitable and unstoppable. It is neither.
By Benji Schoendorff
They don’t care if you go hungry, unemployed, sick, or homeless. But they do care when you are beginning to entertain resistant democratic thoughts. They get nervous when you discard your liberal complaints and adopt a radical analysis. They do care that you are catching on as to what the motives and functions of the national-security state and the US global empire are all about at home and in so many corners of the world. They get furiously concerned when you and millions like you reject the pap that is served up by corporate media and establishment leaders.
— Michael Parenti1
The Epstein class program is to turn the working classes into easily manipulable subjects who will swallow any narrative fed to them. Think cattle.
Their secondary objective is to convince you they have the means to do it and that, therefore, resistance is futile. Their AI dystopia is on us and soon they’ll control everything the working class thinks, feels and does. Eeek! You may be forgiven if you felt it’s time for us all to go Chicken Little and start blurting at the top of our lungs: It’s the End of the World as we Know It!
Me? I feel fine, and this article is my attempt at articulating why—and show you why you should not start dooming about the much heralded threat of the looming totalitarian AI panopticon dystopia.
The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Techbros
The American dream is no more. By now, everyone knows you’d have to have been asleep to have ever believed it. The present-day US is now the blueprint. Forget its post-New Deal expanding “middle class”—that was a temporary compromise to ward off the threat of revolution. In a letter to his friend, white supremacist union buster, and democracy-hating backroom dealer Colonel Edward M. House, FDR wrote that there was “no question in [his] mind that it is time for the country to become fairly radical for at least one generation. History shows that where this occurs occasionally, nations are saved from revolution.”2 In other words, what FDR laid out to his pal was that the New Deal Keynesian redistribution (mostly to the white) Usian working class of a larger share of the genocidal White empire’s neocolonial loot was nothing but a desperate—and, as it turned out, successful—attempt by the US ruling class to ward off their justified fear of communist revolution.
Never forget that they resented having to share any part of the superprofit cake so much that they spent the next few decades hatching rollback plans,3 which is what neoliberalism and the collapse of the Soviet Union were all about. Having succeeded, don’t imagine they’ve forgotten the fear the proletariat instilled in them, which has distilled into pure hatred. Basically, they want you gone, because the ruling class is acutely aware of what drives history. As Warren Buffett told Lou Dobbs in a 2005 CNN interview: “It’s class warfare; my class is winning, but they shouldn’t be”.
I also think they shouldn’t be. And so should you, lest you be a hapless victim of capitalism’s chickens-for KFC ideology. But whatever they think of the morals of the situation, the ruling class mean to continue winning. And to that end, they’ll do anything to make sure the people never again seriously consider the possibility of overthrowing the capitalists at home and allying with the targets of White Empire’s ventures abroad. The present AI dystopian cunning plan is but the latest iteration of Capital’s inevitable class war against the rest of us.
The plan to cement their present domination into a permanent victory in the class struggle is to target what the plebs think so that it becomes literally inconceivable to imagine that their absolute domination could ever come to an end. To this end, that have engaged in a conscious war on what we all think. It is, first and foremost, a psychological war, the target of which is what you, brothers and sisters, think. They want to shape the system of meaning inside which you live so that their domination seems inevitable to the point of being natural or divinely ordained. Hence the familiar discourses about capitalism being human nature and the ongoing attempts to swap claims to the divine nature of kings, with Zionist chosenitism, complete with references to what God supposedly promised 3,000 years ago: most of the land of West Asia as well as, presumably, control of Onlyfans and of US military planning. The goal is simply that you think that capitalism in its genocidal imperialist form is the natural order of the world and to stop you ever thinking any alternative is imaginable, let alone possible.
Genocidal Imperialist Realism Is the New Resistance Is Futile
As Ursula K. Le Guin said in a 2014 acceptance speech: We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable; so did the divine right of kings. For his part, in Capitalist Realism, Mark Fisher showcased the phrase attributed to Frederic Jameson and Slavoj Žižek that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.4
Granted, Žižek is a clown—but capitalist realism, or, to give it its more precise name, genocidal imperialist realism, is a thing, and it’s no joke. Between the fall of the Soviet Union and the recent rise of China as an evidently socialist country rather than just another version of the neoliberal end-of-history,5 it was hard to inhabit a world in which the abolition of capitalism was conceivable. There was no oxygen left to operate from inside that system of meaning. Socialism seemed forever relegated to a distant, failed dream.
The very memory of internationalist collective class consciousness for a while seemed as rapidly fading and a quaint a collective delusion as the erstwhile belief that the sun rotated around the earth. Karl Marx became just another dead white guy whose intellectual heirs had supposedly birthed the monstrous communist system, its “totalitarian” societies and its 100 million dead hoax. All bunk—but that was the 1990s. You just had to be there. I was, and it was the worst decade ever.
You will be assimilated.
What followed was imperialist war upon imperialist war: millions dead in West Asia, 35 millions killed by sanctions (the modern name for medieval siege) between 1971 and 20216, and the accelerating transformation of every living thing, being, and human experience into dead stuff—a.k.a., surplus value or profit.
The ruling class’s central problem became: how do you permanently convince people that the unfolding inner logic of that unliving artificial intelligence that is the political economy of capital7 is the only rational and realistic way forward? How do you get them to go along with its ultimate logic of transitioning out of humanity and projecting machine settler colonialism to Mars, rather than rightfully rejecting such goals as the rotten fruits of brain-addled, pedocriminal, human-flesh-eating cod Satanists—the folks we now call the Epstein class?
Engineering Idiocracy
How do you do that? You first target education. Instead of a means to elevate your population so that the many can join in a project of collective betterment, you turn the education system into a tool to engineer idiocy and weaken critical skills. Don’t listen to the talk; look at the outcomes. By that measure, the ruling class has made great strides. As of this writing, 54% of USian adults read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.8 It is not unreasonable to assume their critical reasoning skills do not extend beyond those of ten-year-olds. Try discussing the subtleties of surplus value extraction and structural racism with your nearest ten-year-old and see how far that gets you down the road of international socialist revolution.
Having had to deal with serious systemic contestation from students in the 1960s—eventually contained by the CIA’s program to nurture imperialism-compatible Marxism (read Gabriel Rockhill’s Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism9 for the full story)—they resolved to ensure students would never again be given the chance to develop a broad critical view of the world and the underlying dynamics of its political economy. As for higher education, better to train savants with cutting-edge knowledge in some super-narrow field and reliance on NYT op-eds for everything else while turning universities into hedge funds, while rising student debt keeps future graduates on a tight financial leash.
In addition to this, offering Ivy league places to ball players and Epstein masseuses might conceivably have contributed to the general dumbing down of the White imperial ruling class. The result is a society whose collective intellectual acumen has substantially declined over the past 59 years and has slowly folded in on its bare exceptionalist bones, being white supremacy in some form (the range going from cod-biological race pseudo-science to cultural or civilizational supremacy, depending on the context, targets and need of the moment), to the point of becoming constitutionally unable to understand or even muster the slightest interest for the potential opposition. After all, as Justin Podur said in a recent sitrep, the farmer cares not a whit for what the cattle think.
Thus not only the plebs, but the US elite too was dumbed down and all remaining traces of anti-systemic analysis relegated to the largely harmless cultural critiques of the Frankfurt School’s I can’t believe it’s not (bread and) butter empire compatible Marxism. Conditions were arranged so that the only career path as an academic Marxist was reduced to writing in impenetrable jargon about some obtuse detail of the culture, on the one condition that it was at most of peripheral relevance to the imperial core working class or the international class war that is the anti-imperialist struggle.
Leading Psychology up the Primrose Path
Meanwhile, imperial manager set about disciplining psychology. A particularly pernicious and effective psyop was the sneak attack on behaviorism by Agent Chomsky in 1959.10 Chomsky’s infamous (and I would argue infamously dishonest) review of B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behavior11 ushered in the Pentagon-funded era of nativist genetic universal grammar brain modules—the ridiculously liberal and dualistic idea that thinking and language are largely innate functions of our brains rather than products of social interactions—and fed Chomsky’s cod anarchism, which at root was always liberal libertarianism: the idea that every individual self-develops and therefore must not be constrained, shaped, or reinforced by their interactions and relations with others. By the way folks, if we take Chomsky’s theories at face value, he is therefore 100% responsible for his friendship with Epstein and jerking off to the idea of one day visiting dear Jeffrey’s jerky-eating gang on that dreamy Caribbean island.
In truth, Skinner’s behaviorism was nothing like Chomsky painted it (on orders from the ruling class, is one of my pet conspiracy theories).12 It was not authoritarian nor about training humans like dogs. It was, above all, not mechanistic, dualist, nor naively biologically reductionist. On the contrary, it represented a highly sophisticated epistemology that saw all living things as existing in constant reciprocal interactions with their environment—interactions that impacted both environment and future behavior, in never-ending loops of reciprocal impact encompassing all biological, psychological, and social phenomena. In other words, though Skinner himself never went there, his approach to psychology was the most compatible with dialectical materialism.13 Chomsky’s—not coincidentally—was the least.
After sneakily screaming “Look at that rat!” to distract Skinner, Chomsky delivered the blow that knocked radical behaviorism off its perch at the top of scientific psychology. Noam’s most consequential counterinsurgent punch.
Why did I bring Chomsky in, you may ask? Because I hate the guy? Well, I do—but that’s not the main reason. It’s because he helped drive underground the idea that psychological phenomena are best understood as products of social interactions based on natural processes and as ongoing actions that are functions of social relations. Instead, the view became dominant that thinking and consciousness are biological phenomena emanating from within an individual’s brain modules, a product of their neurons firing, of their neurotransmitters transmitting, and the like, cementing a biological reductionism that totally misses what is truly unique about psychological processes, such as talking, listening, thinking, dreaming, worrying, hoping, etc., which is that that there are dialectically emergent properties of social relations and relations of re·productions. I hope you recognize the impact of Chomsky’s “ideas” about a language module and universal grammar on blocking progress toward dialectical materialist psychology.
Rather than being investigated as ongoing actions having identifiable functions in particular contexts, investigation into psychological process turns to individual brain physiology. The former keeps the social context upfront as an analytic dimension. The latter has led the filed to focus nearly exclusively on the isolated individual and to consider psychological events and activities, such as talking, listening, thinking, dreaming, worrying, hoping, and the like, as intricate biological phenomena emanating from inside an individual’s biology, from within their brain, as common parlance has it.
I hope you recognize Chomsky’s “ideas” about a language module and a universal grammar are a part of this. And I hope you can see that they serve to keep social relations and relations of production away from the field of psychological investigation. Hence, Chomsky was not just an anti-communist op, he was a deeply anti-Marxist bourgeois ideologist whose main counterinsurgent mission was not in the field of politics but in that of psychology.
The Recipe of the AG Kool-Aid
Reductionist biologism led to consolidating as a natural fact the Cartesian metaphor that humans are biological machines and that their brains must therefore be the most evolved machines in existence—i.e., computers. It naturally led to the assumption that human minds could be simulated by mapping their neural connections or somehow modelling their (essentially biological) cognitive processes. From this emanated the field of neural network modelling and, eventually, the idea of getting to Artificial General Intelligence, AGI. At the risk of simplifying a fairly complex subject, the idea is that if we can get to a processing capacity equivalent to that of the estimated 86 billion neurons a human brain contains, we’ll eventually manage to give birth to an artificial general, that is human-like, intelligence.
Robert Oppenheimer goes Baghavad Gita
“Now I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds.” Upon witnessing the first nuclear explosion, physicist Robert Oppenheimer, head of the Manhattan Project, is said to have declaimed this ominous verse from the Bhagavad Gita.
Eighty years later, Silicon Valley’s Sam Altman and a phalanx of transhumanist uber-Zionists proclaim that soon—by summer 2025, fall 2025, winter, 2026, err, by spring 2026, well in a few minutes and a few hundred billion dollars more—the singularity will be with us. They will have created human consciousness out of unliving silica and electric current and will forthwith proclaim: I am become G*d, creator of superhuman intelligence.*
Next they plan to let slop that Chat GPT revealed to them that becoming the Godhead was promised to them 3,000 years ago.

Nonsense and stuff. The human mind is not actually a machine, not really. Human intelligence is not reducible to neurological processes. There are no actual thoughts nor images living rent-free in our heads, let alone in our brains, neurons, neurotransmitters, or electromagnetic cerebral activity—not even at the quantum level as the new psychobabble pretends. Human intelligence and human consciousness are dialectically emergent properties of social interactions that are themselves determined by the conditions of social production and reproduction, as Marx had intuited. This means human intelligence and consciousness cannot be modelled outside the social and natural (environmental) interactions that shape and maintain them.
On the face of it, taking a metaphor (the mind as a computer) for the thing it is a metaphor of is a pretty dumb philosophical category error. It is akin to taking the map of a gold mine for the territory and embarking on making the map so true-to-life so that one day, any day now says Sam, we’ll be able to mine real gold from it. “Dumb as a lump of fools’ gold,” doesn’t even begin to describe the root error. And yes, it’s all about mining for gold—or, more precisely, extracting surplus value and turning yet more living stuff and human experiences into inert, that is, dead profit. I discussed this in more detail in the video AI Is Dumb, but Not as Dumb as Those Who Believe It’s Intelligent.
Lest you think I am but a nagging nabob of negativity, please watch my series “What Is Wrong With Western Psychology and How to Fix It” for a positive alternative.
Deriving the Wrong Lessons from the Derivatives Markets
As I said, it’s all about making cash. And the thing is, using computers to model markets has made the ruling class trillions, literally. It has been so profitable that the Wests’ most brilliant physics PhDs have been bought off by finance capital to construct highly complex simulations of the chaotic non-linear dynamic of financial markets. The Whizz kids duly delivered and finance turned into a complex web of highly profitable computer-run automatic trading and hedging systems, and an arms-race leading to the development of ever more complex financial derivatives.
Derivatives are present trades on future trades or probabilistic events in the future. Derivative financial products aim to take advantage and protect from potential swings in market prices. This worked so well, the total volume of derivatives trade has been estimated to be near 25% of a global GDP of around $117 trillions. It is estimated that 90% of world trade depends on derivatives, and some sectors, such as large-scale food production and distribution multinationals, may extract 75% of their income, not from producing and selling food, but from trading derivatives.14 For every 100$ circulating in the global economy, $25 are used to speculate or hedge on future purchase of goods or services. Crazy, right? And guess who never gets a candy for being on this merry-go-round? You and me.
Another way to think of derivatives: they are financial instruments based on possible stories about what the future holds—in other words, narratives. Most wealth these days is made speculating, trading, and hedging on narratives, a.k.a. stories. And stories hold and fold on what people think—not just what the financial class and their brainy whizz kids think, but what everybody thinks, including you, me, and folks in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Russia, China, Africa, and everywhere. Now you know how and why narrative warfare has become the primary battleground of our financialized ruling class. And you most likely realize why such a large part of their efforts target what we all think.
The Great AGI Heist
Enter Sam Altman, bullshitter extraordinaire—a scammer so unsuccessful at selling real stuff that he could never have made it as a used-car salesman. Luckily, he chose to exert his talents in the bullshit Elysian fields of internet startups. He failed at everything, but his ability to bullshit was so remarkable that the South African Nazi boys around Peter Thiel ensured he failed up, all the way to the driver’s seat at OpenAI. (If you want details of Sam’s scamming odyssey, watch the video linked above.) What we need to concern ourselves with is the fact that, having made trillions using highly advanced dynamic-system computer models, the financialized imperialist ruling class was willing to buy Altman’s BS about reaching Generative Artificial Intelligence through massive computing power—and from there, mint intelligent gold from the detailed map of human intelligence. Again, dumb as a lump of fool’s gold, but totally understandable, seeing as highly complex computer modelling turned out to be a literal gold mine.
Only snag: AI is totally unlike human intelligence, and therefore AGI is a pipe dream. The West is being sold a bill of goods by a consummate snake oil salesman in the employ of a genocidal techno-Nazi cabal—a good few of whom were born and raised in Nazi communities in apartheid South Africa (Thiel, Musk), and the rest of whom pledge ethnic allegiance to the genocidal techno-Zionist cabal (Bryn, Zuckerberg, Karp). All this under the auspices of the CIA/Mossad nexus inaugurated by one James J. Angleton, credibly rumoured to have been intimately involved in such capers as JFK’s assassination, passing nuclear bomb secrets to the Zionist entity, and the CIA’s psychological warfare against socialist ideology worldwide. Birds of a feather and all that.
Scammer Be Hallucinating his Next Scam
And now, high on his own supply, Sam Altman declares that, in the future, the stupefied folks the US de-education system is churning out like the Chinese churn out mind-blowingly advanced EVs, will be reduced to renting smarts from OpenAI every time they need to think beyond sixth-grade capacities, while Palantir’s CEO—in between Marvel supervillain threats to kill the folks he dislikes—announces the coming of the AI-augmented working-class male war fighter who will once and for all displace college-educated female liberal bleeding hearts as the main voting block, thus cementing the thousand-year techno-AI Reich of his and his CIA/Mossad’s controllers fevered dreams.
As John Lennon never sang: A Genocidal AGI Working Class Hero Is Something To Be.
Naturally, many folks on the left and many good people of all political stripe are horrified by such crazy talk and tend to mistake it for a reliable prediction of the future to come: that the tech bros are ushering in a dystopian AI panopticon in which, if you ever make it to the stage of individual cognitive and consciousness development required to articulate a coherent critique of the system—if you ever step inside a system of meaning in which it does not have to be this way and there has to be an alternative—they’ll be able to detect the warning signs in your digital footprint and disappear you into Alligator Alcatraz faster than you can say, Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your cyberchains.
Mother-bothering Scammers Inflating the Mother of all Bubbles
They claim they are working day and night to bring about such a “vision” on the slim justification, as articulated by Karp, that if they don’t get there first, others will. I don’t know about you, but those techbros mostly look like a bunch of pain-adverse slackers. Anyhow, do not be overly concerned, because their cherished dystopia depends on reaching AGI. They won’t reach AGI, because no one will ever mine gold from even the most exquisitely modelled map of a gold mine.
What my seer eyes see in the future is not their becoming god; it’s their indefinitely pushing back the announcement of the Holy Singularity. What I see in their future is the scambros scrambling to raise extra hundreds of billions from circle-jerk financing scams, in which NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon throw money at OpenAI to build the data centers that will order NVIDIA chips, house AWS clouds, and run Microsoft junk software—until their shameless Ponzi scheme collapses on the US economy in the mother of all bubble bursts.
All the signs are there: 95% of corporations that have replaced white-collar employees with AI are getting zero return.15 Many are rehiring ex-employees, on worse conditions, to make up for the shortfall. A flurry of scientific studies suggest that the more complex an AI model is, the more likely it is to produce false information, and the less imaginative its responses tend to be. The worst thing you can ask an AI is “Are you sure?” as subsequent answers get ever more unreliable.16 If AI can do OK at basic coding, it is proving unable to make those essential judgment calls that require not aggregation of data, but that peculiar human flair that comes from paying attention to particular things while ignoring others that may seem more logical, more obvious, or closer to hitherto recognized so-called common wisdom.
And so AI makes catastrophic mistakes—like deciding to wipe out whole systems in response to a code-streamlining prompt.17 It also makes the humans who rely on it lose cognitive abilities that are crucial to critical judgment.18 Who would ever ask anything from a human who conversed in this way? To each their own, of course—but I sure wouldn’t.
Trump’s Cunning Plan: AI War Planning
Now realize that the Trump-Mileikowski assault on Iran was AI-planned, down to the production in a weekend of a bank of thousands of targets.
Chat GPT, are you sure?
Now, reread the previous paragraph and imagine if you will, what happened to that bank of targets when, as is likely, the genius prompt writers fed more prompts into the system, such as the perfectly reasonable question: ‘Chat GPT (Or Claude, or Melania) Are you sure?’ Further consider the high likelihood that the AI's “views” of Iranian society were largely based on CIA/Unit8200-massaged algorithms endlessly tweaked to ensure that prompts such as @grok is this true? only return pro-Zionist answers, including rehashing CIA-produced propaganda about Iranians being on the cusp of insurrection. Sure, over 100 years of evidence from every aerial bombing campaign ever shows that the invariable result is uniting the bombed populations around their government and turning all past popular grief into rage against the foreign aggressors. But to an LLM aggregator half a dozen PhD thesis are as nothing compared to the weight of reams of NYT, Wapo and CNN opeds belting out covers of John McCain’s most enduring Country & White-Western hit: Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran?
This Iranian lady used to hate the Islamic Republic and all it stood for. Not anymore, thanks to Abu Naranja.
Unwelcome to the Machine
As you’ll know if you’re following our specials on Iran’s great decolonial anti-imperialist counteroffensive, the Axis of Epstein (US, Zionist entity, and AI) is not faring too well against the Axis of Resistance (Iran, Palestinian Resistance, Hizbollah, AnsarAllah, and the Iraqi Resistance). Turns out Sun Tzu > Sun Microsystems (now renamed Oracle). And as regards oracles, it turns out Hamas founder Sheikh Yassin—who predicted the Zionist entity would be gone by 2027 > AI, which predicted that regime-changing Iran would be a matter of days, if not hours.
The inner dialectics of capital push capitalism towards genocidal imperialism, as it pushes it towards a shortening of the surplus-value cycle that turns living labor into dead profit. The end of the process is to short-circuit the commodity production cycle and go straight to producing death as the ultimate commodity. As Ali Kadri has discussed on RIF, it does this by wasting all that is alive—including our memories of struggles, of possible alternative futures and different past times. It is truly an unalive death machine.
Imperialism is a fracking machine. It also seeks to frack human experience, including our most precious ones. It naturally seeks to frack working-class consciousness and any form of self-determination that does not bow to genocidal imperialist realism—that refuses to live, whether individually or collectively, inside systems of meaning that affirm any kind of personal and collective sovereignty. It cannot abide any alternative, which is why it targets every group or individual that dares to stand up and live in the knowledge that the meaning and purpose of life is freedom and self-determination rather than finding one’s place inside the totalizing political economy of hunting all that is alive and untouched to transmogrify all life into ever-expanding lines of zeros and ones, always with a one in front—the one superior white man (yes, ladies and non-binary friends: one man). One man in the name of lucre.
Now it’s Iran saying: Have you tried releasing the hostages and surrendering your weapons and war criminals to the Free People of the World?
This is the way: capitalism metabolizes all that is alive—including human experience, skills, imagination, and creativity—to turn it into dead stuff, soulless pablum, AI slop, and algorithmically boosted U2 anthems to real-estate speculation. Talk about not finding what you’re looking for, Bonzo. The end goal: reducing all living beings, including us humans, to biological organisms deprived of all that makes them uniquely alive and, as regards our kin, uniquely human. The Matrix redux. This is why imperialist capitalism is the mortal enemy of the Free People of the World—and this is why you are finally getting up and standing up, standing up for our rights to live as Free People of the World.
The Age of Imperial Comeuppance Is on US
Fear not, dear Brother. Weep not, sweet sister. All their crazy bald-headed schemes are for nothing, for none of them can stop the time. It is a fight between life and death—and, as living humans, we are all naturally on the side of life: you, me, everybody. Except for a tiny sliver of soulless demons who spend most of their time trying to strangle the Free People of the World that live inside their heart. For they too are prisoners of the genocidal white-supremacist capitalist imperialist system of personal and collective meaning. It deceives them into believing there is no other possible life for them than serving the unquenchable hunger for accumulating waste and wasted life. They are the lifers of genocidal imperialist realism.
If you’ve made it this far, you now know why you too are part of the Free People of the World. Simply because you are on the side of life. Imperfect, messy, confusing, and scary life. Life in which we don’t always understand how others live, what they think, or believe, nor why. Hell, life in which we don’t always understand how we ourselves live, what we think, or believe, nor why! But life that adapts, nurtures, protects, defends, and fights another day.
You also now know there are only two camps in this fight: the camp of life and the camp of death. In between these two there is nothing—except maybe the unalive and undead, a.k.a. zombies. I don’t know about you, Brothers and Sisters, but I don’t actually believe in zombies. Plus, let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Zombies exist: zombies will eat your brains, and then you’ll need to pay rent to Sam Altman to compensate for whatever your brain allowed you to think, replaced by AI slop. And no one wants that for themselves or their children, do they?
The Free People of the World in the Camp of Life
So be a proud campist, be a proud tankie, be a proud Shi’a, be a proud African, be proud of who you choose to live as, be a proud supporter of the armed resistance of life rising up against the forces of death, be a proud and out Free Person of the World.
No cabal of half-crazed apocalyptic AI slop Kool-Aid drinkers so high o their own supply that they mistook a metaphor for reality and a map for the territory can ever defeat us. You know what to do.
