Auto-Cannibalistic Authoritarianism (ACA)

Authoritarian regimes that rise through fear and destruction eventually trap themselves in a closed system with no enemies left to attack, so they turn inward. Like rats in a sealed barrel, they devour their own until nothing remains.
Auto-Cannibalistic Authoritarianism (ACA) is not just a style of rule, it’s a pattern of collapse written into the DNA of every authoritarian movement that relies on destruction as its organizing principle. At first, it doesn’t look like destruction. It looks like power. It looks like strength. But the moment its system is sealed, the mechanism turns inward. It becomes a machine that eats itself. In isolated places (remote islands, rural outposts) people sometimes use barrel or bucket traps to control rat populations. The design is simple: place bait at the bottom of a tall, smooth-walled container. One rat climbs in, then another. They’re drawn by hunger, by instinct, by the illusion of opportunity. There's no lid at first. The trap welcomes them. But once enough rats are inside, the exit becomes unreachable, or the barrel is sealed from above. The food runs out. The space grows tight. Panic and instinct take over. The rats, unable to escape and conditioned only to compete, begin attacking one another. They fight not out of evil, but because the trap demands it. One by one, they tear each other apart until only a few remain; bloodied, paranoid, and surrounded by the remains of what was once a collective. This is the metaphor that explains a self-cannibalizing authoritarian movement. It helps us understand how a regime that feeds on destruction ultimately traps itself. The system invites loyalty, offering purpose and security, but only as bait. Once the regime consolidates power and eliminates external threats, its structure becomes a sealed barrel. And those inside, once useful, once obedient, become the only prey left to consume. To maintain control over a population that might otherwise demand freedom, authoritarian systems rely on a triad of psychological tools: fear, hatred, and exclusion, not only to control behavior, but to shape reality Fear works because it is adaptable. It can be fear of punishment, fear of chaos, fear of change, or fear of the unknown. It makes people crave safety, even at the cost of their freedom. Hatred consolidates fear into a weapon. It gives people something to strike at, something to blame, something to see as subhuman. It relieves helplessness with cruelty. Exclusion draws the line between who is protected and who is disposable. It creates a hierarchy of belonging: those who obey stay in the circle; those who question are cast out. These tools don’t just enforce power. They make people complicit in it. At first, authoritarianism needs real enemies to make the machine run. Opposition parties, activists, journalists, whistleblowers; anyone with a voice strong enough to threaten the regime becomes the perfect scapegoat. Their defeat becomes a rallying cry. Their suffering is used to demonstrate strength. Every enemy destroyed expands the power of the regime, and every act of aggression makes the inner circle feel more secure. However, authoritarian success brings a peculiar kind of failure. Eventually, the opposition is so weakened, so fragmented, or so thoroughly silenced that no credible threat remains. The system wins. The enemies are gone. Yet, the political machine built to destroy must keep moving. It must manufacture fear, feed hatred, and sharpen exclusion, because, without those inputs, the population might start to think for themselves and rise up with democratic will. This is how authoritarianism traps itself in a sealed environment. Not because it chose to close the system, but because it conquered so completely that no external conflict remains. The only threats left are internal, and the machine, still humming and still hungry, turns inward. This is the moment the barrel seals. This style of politics was never built to pause. It cannot rest. It must always fear something, always hate something, always cast something out. Without real enemies, the system turns its tactics inward. Instead of hunting traitors, it begins accusing loyalists of weakness. Instead of blaming outsiders, it blames insiders for sabotage. Additionally, since the leader is the apex of the system, never to be questioned or blamed, the burden of failure rolls downhill. "My secretary ruined the parade. A supposedly loyal congressman fumbled the bill. Our minister mishandled the crisis." One by one, those within the inner circle are exposed, attacked, and sacrificed. Not for what they did, but for what the system needs them to be: disposable rats. Fresh targets. It becomes a grotesque parody of divide and conquer, not turned against opponents, but turned inward. The regime divides itself, tears itself into factions, and devours its own, believing that the blood it spills is victory. This is self-cannibalization masquerading as strength. The regime becomes blind to its true adversaries: corruption, instability, and decay. It has trained itself to see only enemies, never causes. With no opposition left outside the system, its hunger turns inside. It starts grinding up its own members, mistaking each new sacrifice as necessary correction. What began as a machine of political dominance transforms into a blender of loyalty, chewing through its own foundation, weakening itself with every purge. The barrel is not a strategy. It’s the end state of a movement built on destruction. The regime won so completely that no one else was left to blame. And now, the rats remain, their claws still sharpened, their instincts still honed, but the only flesh left to tear is their own. They consume each other in cycles of betrayal, punishment, and fear, until nothing remains but echoes and bone. The authoritarian state does not fall in fire or revolution. It collapses into itself, chewed hollow by the very tactics that brought it power. In the end, there is no triumph, no revolution, no last stand. Only a sealed barrel, rats gnawed to bone, and the echo of a machine that devoured everything in its path.

I haven't even been suspended on X for a week and:
- DOGE disbanded
- Elon outs MAGA as foreign influencers
- Trump connected to Russian intelligence
- National Guard shot in DC

What else did I miss? I was suspended Sunday.

Russia came with tanks and lies,
calling murder "liberation".
Now they sit at tables
demanding we call their weariness "compromise."
You don't get rewarded
for stopping the fire you started.
You don't get land
for the blood you spilled.
Peace is as simple as going home.

DOGE was a foreign operation to steal American data and sabotage international programs that benefited the USA.

It was absolutely and completely treason.
