We're back. Share around everywhere. They will never get rid of the anti-tech movement‼️ t.me/anti_tech_apostles

Take a step back and really consider what kind of belief system this is. Anti-tech ideology isn’t just another critical stance, it goes much further than that. It challenges the very existence of the system itself. Most ideologies that claim to resist or oppose the current order still rely on it in one way or another. They want to run it differently, improve it, or put themselves in charge of it. But they don't seek to eliminate it entirely. Anti-tech thinking breaks from that pattern. It doesn’t try to reform the system, it rejects it outright and pushes toward a future where it no longer exists. This is why our groups are targeted so severely. No system is going to sit quietly while an idea like that gains traction. My group being banned has only filled me with satisfaction, because it has confirmed that the system truly views us as a threat. We will not step down. @anti_tech_apostles

In this situation there is a conflict between integration propaganda and agitation propaganda. Those people in whom the cuddly values and the aversion to violence have been most deeply planted can’t easily be persuaded to approve a bloody military operation. Here the System’s trick backfires to some extent. The activists, who have been "rebelling” all along in favor of the values of integration propaganda, continue to do so during wartime. They oppose the war effort not only because it is violent but because it is ”racist", "colonialist,” ”imperialist,” etc., all of which are contrary to the soft, cuddly values taught by integration propaganda.

On the other hand, in certain contexts the System itself finds it useful or necessary to resort to brutal, aggressive methods to achieve its own objectives. The most obvious example of such methods is warfare. In wartime the System relies on agitation propaganda: In order to win public approval of military action, it plays on people’s emotions to make them feel frightened and angry at their real or supposed enemy.

4. The Trick Is Not Perfect Naturally, the System’s trick does not work perfectly. Not all of the positions adopted by the ”activist” community are consistent with the needs of the System. In this connection, some of the most important difficulties that confront the System are related to the conflict between the two different types of propaganda that the System has to use, integration propaganda and agitation propaganda.

The Epstein Files remain largely unreleased and ignored. Most illegal immigrants remain un-deported in the US. America is being dragged into yet another middle eastern forever war for the umpteenth time. The government recently tried using 'alien disclosure' and Iranian drone strike claims to distract us from these issues. Isn't it time to admit that no administration will ever have your best interest at heart? That as far as they are concerned, you are, as Elon Musk put's it, no more than the system's 'biological bootloader' for Artificial Intelligence? Do you really think the US government, which used Adobe Acrobat to unsuccessfully redact info in the Epstein Files, is competent enough to stop all white collar jobs from being taken by AI in 18 months - as Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman claims? Do you think they even care?

Because they are the teachers of young people, the university intellectuals are in a position to help the System play its trick on the young, which they do by steering young people’s rebellious impulses toward the standard, stereotyped targets: racism, colonialism, women’s issues, etc. Young people who are not college students learn through the media, or through personal contact, of the "social justice” issues for which students rebel, and they imitate the students. Thus a youth culture develops in which there is a stereotyped mode of rebellion that spreads through imitation of peers - just as hairstyles, clothing styles, and other fads spread through imitation.

Consequently they are suckers for the System’s trick, which allows them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without ever having to challenge the System’s basic values. Previous Page Next Page

The university intellectuals also play an important role in carrying out the System’s trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are (allowing for individual exceptions) the most oversocialized, the most conformist, the tamest and most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group in America today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But, because they are incapable of independent thought, real rebellion is impossible for them. Previous Page Next Page

Through this type of process, rebel movements that are dangerous to the System are subjected to negative propaganda, while rebel movements that are believed to be useful to the System are given cautious encouragement in the media. Unconscious absorption of media propaganda influences would-be rebels to ”rebel” in ways that serve the interests of the System. Previous Page Next Page

In the face of disruption, we maintain our goal. In the face of suppression, we show influence. Moments ago, Telegram removed many Anti-Tech channels with thousands of followers. Ask yourself, what things were said or shown on these channels that moderators do not want you to see? Are your authority figures honest with you?

Even if this editor is a macho type who personally feels more comfortable with women in a subordinate position, he knows that feminism, at least in a relatively moderate form, is good For the System. He knows that his editorial posture must be favorable toward moderate feminism, otherwise he will face the disapproval of his advertisers and other powerful people. This is why the mainstream media’s attitude has been generally supportive of moderate feminism, mixed toward radical feminism, and consistently hostile only toward the most extreme feminist positions.
