U.S. Binary Culture is War
Empire leans into the fear that comes with binary systems.

Insight from Korea, where the U.S. orchestrated wars, elections, dictatorships, division, and is still occupying us. Where they forced Korea to equip itself with arms that would not be necessary if the U.S. did not threaten it in the first place.

Capitalist colonial leaders and followers would rather kill people than have them be free.

It is no small purpose to dedicate our lives to ensuring that we are able to reach liberation together.

This is the time to truly solidify, unify around, and support those who are guided by this purpose.

Restart your device.

What better time to restart your device than the restart of the made up colonial Gregorian year of 2026.

We should be rebooting our phones, laptops, and desktop computers on a regular basis anyway.

Speaking as a privacy and security anti-surveillance person. To only wear a mask to thwart surveillance of yourself (which is not guaranteed with just a mask btw), but not wear one to protect each other from viruses and germs, is ableist.

Big Tech owns many technologies, but they do not own Technology.

Technology existed before Big Tech, before Al, before computers, and even before humans.

Tor Browser’s developers intentionally removed or turned off the AI features recently added to Firefox, explaining that machine-learning tools are “inherently impossible to fully audit” and could threaten user privacy.

Two people were arguing on the train I was on in Seoul, so the conductor announced for them to stop fighting and exit at the next station.

And so they stopped and left.

Because Korean trains are quiettttt.

I recommend turning OFF AI search in your browser entirely. And do not use the browser if you are given no choice.

AI bot answers are also worse because they were not built give you the best answers to your question. They are trained to give you the most average answer.

The redacted pages of the Epstein Files, many entirely so, are visual representations of who this regime is protecting, and how much information has always been kept from the People. Those redacted pages are Empire itself.

We have young people in the United States who have now survived multiple school shootings in their very brief lifetime.

This goes beyond even violence as merely a pattern. It is now the norm.

The panopticon is in our pockets.

From KOSA, online age verification laws, behavioral tracking, social media background screening, deportation tactics, forced AI, to biometric theft, we are being surveilled at every turn.

This regime’s signing of an Executive Order to punish states that attempt to regulate AI, particularly around protections for privacy and transparency, is lethal and fatal. It will drastically escalate oppressive structures, and is a guaranteed mass incarceration, surveillance, and control sentence.

Spotify Wrapped, YouTube Recap, Amazon Delivered, Apple Replay, and other year-end summaries of what we listened to and watched on streaming platforms, is a reminder that our data is being harvested by corporations we pay to steal our data.

“War on drugs” falls into the same category as “Weapons of mass destruction.”

The stranglehold that Starbucks has on airports around the globe is wild colonial malarkey.

Parts of Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia are experiencing devastating and historic flooding.

While heavy rain does happen during this time of the year, as with the entire globe, these catastrophic climate impacts are fatally compounding as a direct result of western influence and Empire.

Oppressors are like plastic, toxic, circulating microscopically through our very cores, killing us in every way shape and form, seemingly indestructible. But eventually, even they will be disintegrated, broken down, and forgotten forever, in the trash pile of the universe.

It is 100% reasonable to normalize wearing a brimmed hat, sunglasses, mask, and play around with your gait, all on a regular basis.

Because that is an appropriate response to the state normalizing surveillance.
