ANTI TECH TALK

In a hopelessly on-brand twist for the technological system, the FCC has approved the first launch of Ben Nowack's 'Reflect Orbital' project. A project which aims to launch 50,000 satellites into low earth orbit by 2035, where they would be clearly visible from the surface; choking the sky in a sea of light pollution unlike anything that exists today. That's right, it's time to say goodbye to the night sky! The purpose of these satellites is to reflect sunlight onto the dark side of the planet to assist in "agriculture, emergency efforts, and extending working hours" for only $5,000 an hour. Admin is sure Reflect receiving a $1.25 million AFWERX SBIR Phase II contract with the US navy for "military installations" is a complete coincidence and not at all related. Reflect joins a growing army of satellite swarms aiming to fill the sky, including SpaceX's Starlink, AST Space Mobile's Bluewalker/Bluebird, and Qianfan's Thousand Sails. How many things will the technological system take away before we accept that it cannot continue to exist?

"Modernity proclaims rights without in any way providing the means to exercise them. It exacerbates all needs and continually creates new ones, while reserving access to them to a small minority, which feeds the frustration and anger of all others. As for the ideology of progress, which responds to human expectations by nourishing the promise of an ever-improving world, it is in a deep crisis. The future appears unpredictable, no longer offering hope, and terrifying almost everyone. Each generation confronts a world different from the one its fathers knew." ~ Alain de Benoist

If the only real argument for the system's existence is that people will die if it is removed, then we are hostages.

From our present standpoint the nature of the purposeful action can only be a matter for conjecture, but, just to take a speculative example, the revolutionaries might extract concessions from the power-structure as the Egyptians did, with the difference that the concessions would have to go far enough so that they would deeply humiliate the power-structure. This could be expected to break down the morale of the individuals comprising the power-structure and lead to sharp internal divisions and conflicts within the power-structure, throwing it into disarray. Once this stage had been reached, the prospects for the overthrow of the power-structure would be excellent." - Ted Kaczynski, ATR , Chapter 4

"Anti-tech revolutionaries, of course, can't be satisfied with extracting concessions from the power-structure; they have to bring it down altogether. If, as we've hypothesized, there is severe, long-lasting unemployment throughout the technologically advanced part of the world, most of those who still have jobs will be frightened and will have lost their respect for the system, but will be motivated only to hold on to their jobs as long as they can. The unemployed will be either apathetic and hopeless, or angry and desperate, or both. If there is widespread rioting it will put the power-structure under stress, but will not seriously threaten its survival. Well-prepared revolutionaries, however, should be capable of organization and leadership that will put people's anger and desperation to work, not in mere rioting, but for purposeful action...

View the full article This situation is an excellent example of how technophiles and the Techno-industrial system as a whole value technical progress and advancement over humanity. They believe that humans are obstacles in the path of progress, and expenses as if we are soulless machinery. They only value technical efficiency and advancement, rather than human values like freedom and dignity. They can claim that they support human values all they want, but when they have to pick, they will always choose progress, no matter the cost. AntiTechRevolt

An article about the light reflecting satellites in question

The Anti tech ideas have a good soil for growing right now. The data centers and light reflecting satellites in the USA and the Chat Control in Europe are rapid technological acceleration that will bring numerous problems on their own and even more as direct consequences. Now is our time to spread the ideas of Kaczynski and filter the few intelligent people who will see the truth. We CANNOT escape this until we don't destroy the root cause of our sufferings which is modern technological system!

We were taught that the past was brutal and opressive, and that it is naive to romanticize these times. However, in learning about pre-industrial societies, we see that these societies allowed a much higher degree of autonomy than in the modern world. We were sold lies about how the past was embossomed with harsh and grindlingly long hours of labor, and how it was the machines that came and "liberated" us. The idea that the past was miserable, is the inversion of the truth. It was only with the industrial revolution that slavery became the common state of mankind. We became slaves to the exponential increase of economy, slaves to progress, slaves to machines. We have became the tools of our own tools. — Apostle

"The movement should do what it can to undermine people's faith in the technological system. This is likely to be the lightest of the movement's burdens, because much of the work will be done without any effort on the part of the movement. For one thing, the system's own failures will help to undermine confidence in it. For another, the spoken and written words of disenchanted intellectuals, especially those concerned with environmental issues, will act (and are already acting) to break down people's confidence in the existing social order. Very few of these intellectuals are potential revolutionaries, therefore an anti-tech movement should not support them directly. But the movement can promote the decline of confidence in the existing social order by calling attention to the pervasiveness and the irremediable character of the system's failures and by making the system look weak or vulnerable whenever possible." - Ted Kaczynski, ATR Chapter 4

"The [Anti tech] movement must build power in relation to its social environment. It must win respect for its ideas, its vigor, its effectiveness. If it is widely feared and hated, so much the better; but it must earn for itself a reputation as the purest and most uncompromisingly revolutionary of all oppositional movements. Thus it will be the movement to which many individuals will turn upon the arrival of a severe crisis in which people have become desperate and have lost all respect for and all confidence in the existing form of society." - Ted Kaczynski, ATR, Chapter 4

“By virtue of the way it has organized its technological base, contemporary industrial society tends to be totalitarian. For "totalitarian" is not only a terroristic political coordination of society, but also a non-terroristic economic-technical coordination which operates through the manipulation of needs by vested interests.”

--- Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man

"With several self-prop systems of global reach, armed with the colossal might of modern technology and competing for immediate power while exercising no restraint from concern for long-term consequences, it is extremely difficult to imagine that conditions on this planet will not be pushed far outside all earlier limits and batted around so erratically that for any of the Earth's more complex self-prop systems, including complex biological organisms, the chances of survival will approach zero." - Ted Kaczynski, ATR, Chapter 2

"The coming years will prove increasingly cynical and cruel. People will definitely not slip into oblivion while hugging each other. The final stages in the life of humanity will be marked by the monstrous war of all against all: the amount of suffering will be maximal".

"Everyone can find his or her proper place in the WAR AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT. The Communists have proven this in a dozen historic cases, all of them recent. Once we get our fallible and undependable selves sublimated to REVOLUTION then the rest should come easy when compared to the endless, nowhere drag of past years."

"The world-system has been highly complex for a long time. What is new is that the world-system is now tightly coupled. This is a result of the availability of rapid, worldwide transportation and communication, which makes it possible for a breakdown in any one part of the world-system to spread to all other parts. As technology progresses and globalization grows more pervasive, the world-system becomes ever more complex and more tightly coupled, so that a catastrophic breakdown has to be expected sooner or later."

— Theodore John Kaczynski (Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How; chapter 2 - Why the technological-system will destroy itself.)
