Robber barons are funding Utopia Builders providing them with all the tools they need to secure their tyranny of ‘kindness’. There is no left/right in this.

Fakery driven by profit seekers, self promoters, attention seekers, meaning miners, wannabe data diviners, geopolitical power jostlers & clueless compliers…

The Covid pandemic was fake. I’m not talking about whether or not the disease existed, that’s moot, because the pandemic was fake. The photos of dead bodies on the street in wuhan were fake. The refrigerated morgue trucks were fake. The overcrowded hospitals were fake. The “cases” and “deaths” were fake. The dancing nurses were fake. The research papers and peer review was fake. The fear was fake. They told you that. They said you weren’t in danger and trusted you not to hear them. The vaccines were fake. Their safety testing was fake. The new science saying masks work - overthrowing decades of old research - was fake. Millions of bots and sock puppets spat out millions of “my aunt died of Covid, pray for us and stay safe” Facebook statuses. They were all fake. It was all set dressing. A play with a cast of hundreds of thousands. Compartmentalised to infinitely small cells of players incapable of realising their part in the big picture. Pointillist propaganda. A thousand thousand tiny points that don’t look like anything resembling reality when inspected individually, but shape a grand design viewed from a distance. None of it was real. The vast majority of people have yet to engage with exactly what that means, and still don’t apply those lessons to media analysis. The lesson of Covid, properly learned, has the potential to overthrow everything.

“The vast majority of the 50 million people….who received Covid vaccines experienced few or no ill effects.” Let’s be honest, you’re either ordered to put that preface in or you can’t bring yourself to just tell the truth, because that would be admitting fault.

🔴 The vast majority of the 50 million people in the UK (and in other nations) who received Covid vaccines experienced few or no ill effects. Yet six years later, the true scale of the Covid vaccines’ side effects is emerging. Meet those coping with life-changing conditions ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

I’m pretty sure I said, “It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a business plan.” back in 2020.😅 Always was ahead of the curve.😎🤪

I'll see your blackpill and raise you optimistic tyranny! Couldn't have said it better than @MrEwanMorrison. By pretending everything is alright and sweeping reality under the rug, the naive and opportunist optimists are actually helping totalitarianism advance. 🫣
Ewan Morrison@MrEwanMorrison

Optimism is a tyranny that ignores outcomes in favour of intentions. Optimists also covers their tracks & hide the evidence when there are adverse unintended consequences to their actions. This is as true of tech optimists as it is of progressive optimists & market optimists. American optimism is particularly pernicious. It masks systemic exploitation and privatises all solutions so that the individual always blames themselves for what are really systemic societal failures. Under this regime of mandatory positivity - the American smile and self help culture - individuals are trained to punish themselves for not being optimistic enough/believing in the self enough and to present a facade of positivity at all times, which has led to the US having such a high level of mental illness - nearly 25% of U.S. adults report a mental health diagnosis. Progressive optimism too goes hand in hand with technocratic and managerial optimism - "there is a solution to every problem." But the result is not a better, more humane society but the growth of the planned managerial society and a systemic restriction of freedoms. A top down enforcing of an optimistic plan for a better society that will arrive 'one day'. This is the Utopian fallacy which in every case becomes Kafka's nightmare culture of mass control - with a smiling face. At the other extreme, the optimism of the right wing libertarian "tech optimists" and "AI abundance optimists", is past of the rise of tech authoritarianism - the belief that some future high surveillance state can create a better more controlled society with less crime and widespread abundance. This is founded on the naive tech-optimist belief that unregulated capitalism will lead through 'the invisible hand' of the markets and the 'exponential growth of smart technology' to a vast range of technological solutions for all the problems of human life. As with all optimists, the tech optimists are busy trying to 'hide the bodies' that would show the real human cost of their hubris. Optimism has been shown to be the cause of much suffering. Live without it.

@MrEwanMorrison @NellyTells I prefer cynicism to optimism/pessimism. It allows for a certain smug sense of self superiority when you're proven right, which tends to happen more often than not.

As with all things & as a person with tendencies for pessimism & who recognises a lot of truth in the below, still moderation is most likely the key rather than rejecting optimism outright. Without hope, pessimism will fulfil itself, become an unforgiving despot as well.

@MrEwanMorrison Fair enough, though as always I think the blame lies on all fronts of power. American optimism would achieve nothing if not embraced by others across the world, from the UK to China and even Australia.

@MrEwanMorrison It also breeds depression. 😬 Thank goodness for the optimists around me. 😅 But yes there needs to be balance, and much more caution than there is.

@MrEwanMorrison “Optimists also cover their tracks…hide the evidence.” I think it’s worse than that from an ‘ability to cure’ perspective. The cognitive dissonance they feel when things go wrong triggers self-delusion so strong they create & live in their own realities demanding others do too.

I’m not one to cry about the algorithm. I post what I want, when I want. Always have. Always will. But let’s be honest. Everyone’s reach is gone. Engagement is down. And it’s the algo. Here’s how I know. When I was in Japan posting Japan, my entire feed became Japan. When I talk politics, Iran, Trump, my whole world becomes that. The machine locks you into a lane. That’s the problem. I’m not a lane. I’m not a niche guy and I never will be. I’m a retired middle aged man with time, a family, and a brain that goes wherever it wants. One minute it’s politics, next it’s health, then finance, then parenting, then Bitcoin, then something completely random an hour later. That’s who I am. That’s how I got here. People followed me because I say what I want across everything. I like people like that too. Guys who can talk about anything. Modern day Renaissance types. That used to work here. Now it gets crushed. When I was in my DMs with Nikita Burt after a viral post, he told me I should focus on one niche. Bro, who are you talking to? Why would I box myself into one lane? I’m not here to sell anything. That mindset is bizarre. That’s not who I am. Posts with 1k impressions. 2k impressions. 6 likes. 7 likes. Not because the content is bad. Because the algo doesn’t know what to do with someone who won’t stay in a box. So it pushes it to people that don’t associate with that. Bizzare. That’s broken. I’m not here to be an influencer. I don’t care about that label. I don’t care if this account disappeared tomorrow. Maybe that would even be better. But don’t pretend this thing isn’t off. This place used to feel like the future. I was all in on it. Not anymore. Not even close. If X had a stock I’d have sold already. I’d be looking at the short side. It’s been incredible for free speech. Credit where it’s due. But this algorithm feels like we’re all riding in a beat up car, just waiting for it to stall. If it hasn’t already and we are just to addicted to walk away from the poison.

if you’ve read my content, you know that i talk about aesthetic convergence a lot which i find truly fascinating. cuz wherever you go now you’ll notice tons of ppl look exactly the same (esp in dense places). the reason is pretty simple… you see the old world had local weirdness because taste formation had friction. you had to find the record store, the zine, the older cousin, the weird bar, the badly lit bookstore, or the regional scene. style was embedded in place & transmission was lossy. lossy transmission creates mutation. mutation creates subculture. the feed destroys that by making everything instantly accessible, comparable, rankable, & purchasable. by anyone. memeticism + algorithms are like steroids for human desire.. so now the moment some aesthetic emerges, it gets: seen → copied → named → packaged → linked → sold → exhausted. that cycle used to take years. now it takes days. sometimes hours. that’s why every subculture now feels stillborn. it gets merchandised before it gets a mythology. this has so many other downstream effects on almost the entire human desire set, like wanting only certain aesthetics of ppl (& now you see why dude looksmaxxxing is a thing too).
