And […]
De-Gamify The Earth
by Caitlin Johnstone https://caitlinjohnstone.com/ Basically the problem is that our whole planet has been gamified. All the Earth’s life, resources and geography have been folded into this sick game where people commodify them into points called money, for no other reason than to score as many points as possible. A tree is worth a set […]
Caitlin Johnstone: Just Beneath
https://tinyurl.com/47xpdvex Don’t let the fraudulence of this civilization eclipse the supernova of authenticity hidden just beneath that thin membrane. Don’t let the vapid artificiality of mainstream culture cause you to miss the weird magic of life as it actually is.

You Are Home
by Caitlin Johnstone https://tinyurl.com/5n7m43w3 It can be hard to feel your roots as a westerner.

Caitlin Johnstone: We’ve Been Dominated by Narrative Control Since the Dawn of Civilization
by Caitlin Johnstone https://tinyurl.com/4kkp8uc4 The science of modern propaganda arguably got its start over a century ago during World War I when a young Edward Bernays was recruited to help sell the conflict to a reluctant American populace, after which he took what he’d learned on that front and folded it into a lifetime of work on the study […]
I Support Western Values More Than The West Does
by Caitlin Johnstone https://tinyurl.com/3pajm5jz I’m often criticized as being “anti-west”, but I am not anti-west, I am pro-west. I am so pro-west that I want our values of peace, freedom, democracy, truth and justice to be real life things that exist in actual western civilization and not just a fiction that is taught to western […]

Caitlin Johnstone: Awakening
https://tinyurl.com/yet7ehy6 Awakening from the lies of the news man, the lies of the politician, the lies of the teacher, the preacher, the pundit, the parent. Awakening from the authorized worldviews, the authorized narratives, the authorized information, the authorized ideas. Awakening from dead thoughts written by dead men on sheets made from dead trees. Awakening […]
The Biggest Obstacle To Real Freedom Is The Belief That We Already Have It
by Caitlin Johnstone https://tinyurl.com/mpmtcj66 If you live in one of the so-called free democracies of the western world, the worst mistake you can make is to buy into the hype.

I Don’t Want A Sci-Fi Future
by Caitlin Johnstone https://tinyurl.com/2p854tm5 I don’t desire a future for humanity like the ones imagined by our culturally designated future-imaginers. I don’t want humans living in Elon Musk Mars colonies or Jeff Bezos space cylinders. I don’t want us to fly out into the stars, to disappear into virtual reality universes, or to move away […]
