What if achievement itself is the most efficient form of self-exploitation?

The Burnout Society launches Readings in Late Exhaustion—a Philosophics series on the psychic economy of late capitalism.

“We exploit ourselves and think we are free.”

The Silence After the Salute
The same government that orders troops to patrol U.S. streets now cuts their healthcare, mental health support, and food assistance. Gratitude has become exploitation

Never, ever have I ever thought the President of the United States would POST and promote pictures of SCANTILY CLAD YOUNG girls and not have it be scandalous headline news.
This administration wants to leave women with no options except sexual exploitation by mysogynistic creepy old men.

Absolutely wonderful post-war fic that really hits a lot of the points I do appreciate. The merely mortal nature of those involved, it digs into the foundational theme of “Exploitation” that the genre developed around.

A wonderful read with a perfect ending to it as well like a cherry on a sundae.

Without going into detail, #pwME #LongCovid ME (because I do not want to inflame an already overly inflamed situtation) the extent of the treachery & exploitation of medical neglect in post infection diseases is EXTRAORDINARY.
People who start out being respectable become corruptible. Why? How? Why?

Plant milks actually predate our exploitation of animals. And really, having always done something is a poor reason to continue doing it. Dairy is not only an inherently cruel practice, but also unnecessary as no mammal needs breastmilk post infancy, let alone that of an entirely different species

In May 2025, the UK Labour government published a new immigration white paper. Ananya Kumar-Banerjee discusses how it uses the spectre of illegal migrants to obscure the systematic exploitation of those on the move.

seems like yet another wonderful "disruption"

de-mediate; use tech to capture (minuscule) marginal gains; thus eliminate the few remaining second-hand bookshops

no surprise to discover the company also accused of labour exploitation, etc. etc.

This saga underlines how compliant we have to be as a country now to the corrupt, lying cabal of the MAGAs. In all the ways that matter, we have now lost our sovereignty and are a post-Brexit offshore property, ripe for exploitation. This is of course what the Leave elites wanted.

Reviewing my Medium subscriptions and I came across this post by @jksteinberger.bsky.social , and I can see so many parallels between the beginning of the world-wide exploitation by European navigators and the current fever surrounding A.i. that I feel dizzy.

500 years of capitalism: built on exploitation, with booms and massive crashes every 100 years (1720s, 1820s, 1929).
Empire 1 waned post-WWI; Empire 2.0 has been collapsing since the 2003 forever wars started.

Since the 1980s, most people have suffered ‘forever recessions’ under US neoliberalism.

conquest: Conquest is a feature-rich and malleable command & control/post-exploitation framework developed in Nim.

Worse than the NY Post. WAPO is literally complaining that Mamdani wants to hold landlords who take advantage of tenants and employers who exploit their workers accountable. Which is exactly what he ran on.

Apparently, according to WAPO, the more exploitation of tenants and workers, the better.

My family is from the Palermo region so… I know the real mafia as something neither honourable nor aspirational. It grew out of poverty & desperation in places where governments (esp post-colonization & post-exploitation) abandoned citizens to lawlessness. It is an ugly thing IRL.
