What is the driving ideology of the U.S. empire right now? What’s the framework that the current regime is using to further support for monopoly-finance capital’s goals? This framework is accelerationism, the desire for society’s disruptions to exponentially build up in intensity, combined with the “black pill” ideology of resigning oneself to a supposedly unavoidable doom. The accelerationists—who foremost consist of the tech nerds behind the modern right—have needed to put forth this amalgam with the “black pill,” an idea which appeals to a social class that’s on the bottom rung.
It’s the only way that these technocrats could successfully sell their agenda for exponential suffering: portray this suffering as inevitable, and present a notion of radical acceptance that’s really about passive retreat. To defeat this psychological trap, we will need to bring those who’ve come to the BP towards a new synthesis; not a total negation of what they believe, because there is truth to it, but a view with additional insights. We need to convey how in order to revive civilization after its present collapse, we’ll have to undertake a project equivalent to the German barbarism which replaced the Roman empire. This new barbarism can only be a proletarian barbarism, built in order to recover from de-industrialization and all of its ills. This is the essence of our task as rejuvenators of society within the American context. How to get the working class in position for this is something I’ve also been delving deep into, but here I want to focus on combating BP-related diversions from this task.
Becoming NEET while the technocrats take over
For the targets of the BP/accelerationist psyop, the contradiction is in how embracing the black pill can bring surrender to the forces that engineered the present crisis. The subjects of this particular discourse are the “excess males,” the terminally sexless, downwardly mobile men who mostly would be able to live a normal life just a generation ago. But the “black pill” applies to so much more than the looks hypergamy dating market grievances that it’s been framed around.
The black pill is really about realizing that the traditional pathways have rapidly disappeared, with 2008 being the first big catalyst for this collapse and 2020 being the accelerant. These were the moments that led the United States to see the rise of an equivalent to Japan’s “Hikikomori” shut-ins, characterized by the “NEET” acronym of “not in education, employment, or training.”
To wage a mass struggle against the institutions that produced this crisis, we will need to look at which ideas these institutions have fed themselves in order to get to this point. These ideas are not necessarily the origins of the crisis; really they were formulated in reaction to events that the capitalists didn’t anticipate, as they forsook the dialectical analysis that showed what their system would bring about. And there are different wings in our ruling class that have conflicting approaches for responding to the unexpected.
Right now, the faction that’s in power is the one which believes in unregulated technological progress as a cure for capital’s crises. In time, the pendulum will swing back towards the ideology of wanting to undo progress for the “greater good,” returning us to the Obama-Biden paradigm of “degrowth” anti-tech demagoguery. The anti-AI liberals are already leading a major movement within bourgeois politics, and they’ll likely win out in the long term. This is all part of the same cycle that capitalism has been in for centuries, as explained by Edgar Hardcastle in 1933:
Technocracy is likely to be popular for a time because its arrival is opportune. Six months ago the capitalist experts were confident that they know how to explain and cure the crisis by means of then currency theories and policies based thereon. Now the world has grown more sceptical and technocracy comes as a godsend, a bright new toy which will for another season keep attention fixed on non-essentials. It is a safe bet that within a year or two many of the excited followers of the technocrat myth will have rushed to the other extreme and will be busy resurrecting the neo-malthusian bogie of over-population and food shortage. The neo-malthusians have been lying low for about two years but their advance guard will soon be on the march again. While the engineering experts led by Scott are preaching the dangers of high productivity, according to the Daily Herald (January 5th) the agricultural experts of the Royal Institute of International Affairs are warning us that the curtailment of production has gone too far, and that we are faced with a possible scarcity of wheat, meat and other products.
In 2012, after the anarchy of the market had returned us to depression, Nick Land sought to reconcile this bipolar nature of capital in his work The Dark Enlightenment. Land represents a kind of Malthusian thinking, as all anti-egalitarianism does, but he sought to synthesize this thinking with the technocratic mindset of unencumbered progress; in other words, the Thielite ideology behind Trump’s “accelerate AI, let the people suffer” policy.
Land wrote that “Where the progressive enlightenment sees political ideals, the dark enlightenment sees appetites. It accepts that governments are made out of people, and that they will eat well. Setting its expectations as low as reasonably possible, it seeks only to spare civilization from frenzied, ruinous, gluttonous debauch. From Thomas Hobbes to Hans-Hermann Hoppe and beyond, it asks: How can the sovereign power be prevented—or at least dissuaded—from devouring society? It consistently finds democratic 'solutions' to this problem risible, at best.” Curtis Yarvin has provided an idea of what a post-democratic model would look like through his proposal for CEO monarchy; he’s concluded that autocratic control would end the cycle of infighting within the ruling class, which as he observes has expanded into the realm of geopolitics:
Competing branches of the US government still engage in Third World proxy wars, in which the Defense Department and its political allies and satellites (the Republican Party, the arms and energy industry, Israel) face off against the State Department and its allies and satellites (the Democratic Party, the NGOs and universities, Europe, Palestine). The true nature of these conflicts, which would end instantly if the US was under unitary leadership, or even if both American factions could agree to cut off all “aid” to all their foreign satellites, is admitted by no one. It is considered entirely normal that the US often arms, and always talks with, both sides of these bizarre, incurable pseudo-wars.
When you understand how imperialism works, it’s obvious why this proposal is self-contradictory. There’s no way to preserve the status quo, as “rightist” politics aims to do, while escaping our foreign entanglements; imperialism requires that foreign policy be about ensuring control over global markets, otherwise the financial order wouldn’t be able to function. The ruling system also necessarily creates competing wings inside bourgeois politics, which negates Yarvin's argument about there being a supposed fix for inter-capitalist conflicts within the political system. The right-wing intellectuals in the Thielite camp can’t escape these realities; all that they have is idealism.
Many of the black-pilled men who these Thielite psyops target already recognize that our ruling system can’t be salvaged; this is clear from how prevalent edgy anti-regime phrases like “goyslop” are within black pill communities. The “Jewish question” is undoubtedly the most popular political view inside these spaces, and though it’s incorrect, it can be replaced with a proletarian consciousness. The problem is that the regime has ways of gaining psychological control over people, without needing to have the targets like the system they live under. And the role of the Thielite technocrat wing is to orchestrate this interference within the minds of the male “excess,” feeding them messages designed to encourage retreat from the fight at hand.
“Let people enjoy things”
In his manifesto for the right-wing movement, the Israeli asset Bronze Age Pervert talks about infiltrating organized crime. This is partly so that the breakdown of society can be sped up to advance the accelerationist end goal, and partly so that the masses will be controlled through sex and drugs. Says the conclusion of BAP’s Bronze Age Mindset:
The increase of chaos, confusion and pressure on the Leviathan will lay it low: imagine even a world where the people, under relentless assault of contradictory and wild claims, would lose all faith in the media and government and doctors and believe nothing they hear through official channels anymore. This would be an order of knights of the spirit such as exists at most every thousand years. Slowly, maybe over two generations, they will work patiently, exploring and laying claims to all the sewers of the underworld, all the effluences of the Leviathan, all the joints of the lower skeleton that undergirds this world. They will take over night clubs, bars, brothels, hotels, casinos, pornography, and much worse, and rather than live to insulate themselves from the vice promoted by this world, they will intensify it and learn to wield it as a great weapon. It is the greatest weapon in our age.
Know that the Leviathan sustains itself not by the promotion of vice, but by its normalization. But in every normalization, a great deal must be edited out; this is its great weakness. This order of knights will keep vice true to itself. From underneath comes all the Satanic power of the Babylon we are fighting. Some men, whose bond between each other must be made of titanium, will surely come around who can descend in that world...who have the mental and spiritual resources to descend to the underworld and come back with the prize.
This is all predictive programming for the degenerate trends that ruling-class psyops have been nurturing, to an unprecedented degree, since the DOJ’s partial release of the Epstein files. I contend that degeneracy is now an unprecedented problem because never before has there been such an extensive infrastructure for creating and distributing child pornography; big tech made sure that this would happen when the AI era arrived, with Grok’s ongoing child sexualization activities being just the start of what these platforms are going to do. The foundations for mass simulated child abuse materiel were laid decades ago, and part of the plan was activated this month when a federal court ruled that such content is legal when in private.
This “let people enjoy things” attitude is fully aligned with the “military nihilist” trend, where Zionist lumpen streamers like Asmongold have been encouraging their audiences to apathetically accept whatever their rulers do abroad. It’s a call to willingly embrace the subservient role our government wants for us, and consume endless pornography while the U.S. military expands its destructive campaigns. The CIA and the Mossad realized the value of this type of sexualized psyop a long time ago. After Japan’s postwar economy crashed, and a generation of men were pushed into becoming shut-ins, the Japanese fascist state found an extremely useful tool for social control: pedophilic anime. This psychological weapon and its variants have since been widely exported, with Jeffrey Epstein’s project to manipulate 4Chan users being a pivotal moment in the spread of this perverted mind virus.
This is the lifestyle that the enemy wants excess men to embrace: a lumpenized detachment from the past or the future, and a fixation on the Epsteinite porn that the algorithms are increasingly pushing. Just because this is the behavior that the Epstein regime seeks to bring these men into, though, doesn’t mean we should come to associate this behavior with the state of being rendered excess. This is a mistake that we should take care to avoid; a core part of the gender war psyop is that men who’ve been failed by society are by default predatory, misogynistic parasites, and it’s no coincidence that the Epsteinites are trying to push men into embodying these traits.
Like with BAP’s psyops, the goal is to predictively program society into going in the direction that benefits our ruling class. As the United States becomes lumpenized, our rulers want its people (particularly its men) to become like the incels of Nigeria who’ve joined Boko Haram. This is the preferable alternative to the masses coalescing into a popular revolutionary movement, like the people of Haiti have done amid their own experience of being de-classed. Haiti is a nation that’s bringing about proletarian barbarism; its movement to unify the gangs, and revitalize the devastated communities, is what things look like when a civilization has no path other than to rebuild.
Our society’s left-behinds have two options: do the bidding of the Epsteinites, or disobey the algorithmic programming and become the new barbarians. Based on how Engels concluded that only barbarians can rejuvenate a dying civilization, this is what I would add to the statement that our future is either socialism or barbarism; if America’s path to socialism will be long and protracted, as it appears to be, then a proletarian barbarism will still fill our need for revolutionary change. This revolutionary barbarism will just take the form of a militant mass organization, building itself up amid the next disruptions and bringing in all the left-behinds who’ve been able to find it.
