The Politics Of Institutionalized Predation.
“I become stronger as you become weaker, I absorb strength as yours flows into me. I become capable of this because I do not experience your pain, I don’t care about your loss, and I feel no regret about using, abusing, and devouring you.”
— Page 63, An Age For Lucifer
Consider the following:
“This book explores a strange new spirituality about to enter into competition with other established religions. My purpose here is to convince you that its emergence is probable, if not inevitable. I begin this exploration with an unproven assumption based on Darwinian evolutionary principles: a new predator will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to prey on humans. Another assumption then follows: this predator will evolve gradually and incrementally from humanity, just as we apparently evolved from lower forms to prey on them. A further assumption suggests that these predators have already appeared as evolutionary prototypes, as new humans with advanced methods of survival and new forms of spiritual expression and religious organization designed to support and advance their predation.“
— Robert C Tucker, An Age For Lucifer: Predatory Spirituality & The Quest for Godhood
The book in question was Robert C Tucker’s “An Age For Lucifer: Predatory Spirituality and the Quest For Godhood“. I first wrote about it in a Bombthrower piece: The WEF Isn’t a Cabal, It’s A Cult, and I can’t remember how I came into possession of it in the first place. I remember owning it for years and never reading it, because frankly, it scared me.
At first I thought it was some kind of manual for psychopathy – how to rise above your self-limiting human emotions to attain power and fame (even Godhood?) through the energetic predation of those around you.
But once I found out that its author wasn’t some High Priest of the Left Hand Path, but rather, a former counsellor and director of COMA, the Council On Mind Abuse, based in Canada – it started to take on a different light.
COMA worked with “adult survivors and child victims of ritual abuse“, and Tucker spent much of his adult life interviewing Satanists and Luciferians (yes, there is a distinction, as Tucker would elucidate in this book).
It was an anthropological study, born out of a thought experiment:
What if all the ritualistic abuse we are seeing isn’t random criminality but an expression of an overarching, organizing principle that viewed mere humans as psychic fodder, to be devoured for the benefit of those in the know?
In his talks with Satanists and sociopaths Tucker repeatedly detected a whiff of something, he never put a name to it, but referred to it as “the thing that points beyond itself”.
COMA eventually went bankrupt, being on the receiving end of relentless lawfare from the Church of Scientology. Tucker died of a heart attack in Mexico in 2003.
In my original Bombthrower piece, I picked up the thread on “The Thing That Points Beyond Itself”, positing the very real, not metaphorical, existence of larger, transpersonal entities such as egregores, morphogenic fields, Vadim Zeland’s “Pendulums”, memetics and mass thought forms in general.
As the world tries to wrap its head around the millions of new and partially unredacted Epstein documents, it becomes very difficult to unsee the dynamics of what has been revealed to be playing out at the highest echelons of institutional power, for decades at least.
The Thing That Points Beyond Itself
An egregore isn’t an analogy or mythical. It’s what a shared belief system becomes when it fuses with incentives and institutions and starts behaving like an organism. It recruits, it feeds, it protects itself. The Epstein network isn’t the egregore. It’s one of its organs.
As the names keep dropping, it’s hard not to get a sense that absolutely anybody who had achieved fame, influence, power or renown was mixed up in an organized cabal of depravity and moral turpitude.
It feels like every TED Talk you ever nodded in agreement to, every Grammy award-winning singer you vibed to, every politician you voted for, and every business leader whose companies you bought shares in, they were all laughing behind your back, because it was a Big Club and you ain’t in it.
The Club is in the global domination game, and its accoutrements include fraud, racketeering, blackmail, and ritualized abuse of women and children.
But what is weird about The Club is the seeming preponderance of pedophiles and sexual predators. Doesn’t anybody nice ever rise into positions of authority?
The Club has to be impelled by something, be it an incentive structure or dynamic that attracts both sociopaths and easily manipulable bunglers.
But it goes beyond that.
The Falsification of Hanlon’s Razor
Hanlon’s Razor used to be the bedrock of my thinking. It’s a derivation of Occam’s Razor. Loosely stated, it advises us:
“Never ascribe to conspiracy what can be explained by stupidity.”
When you look at the types of people ensconced in government, bureaucracy, and academia, this fits. Nowhere in the private sector could you find such a monotonous array of one-dimensional apparatchiks. Any enterprise run by such institutionalized mediocrity would have zero competitive edge and go bankrupt.
However, what I should also have taken to heart, more than I did, was something James Dale Davidson and Lord Rees-Mogg observed over twenty years ago in their seminal work The Sovereign Individual:
“Too little attention has been paid to the fact that electoral politics lures disordered, Messianic personalities into positions of power.”
My base case used to be that the political class were, by definition, failures and rejects. They washed out of the private sector, then drifted into statecraft out of necessity.
I thought that belief in a vast, overarching conspiracy of powerful elites who controlled everything was Loserthink. It ingrained a sense of helplessness in the believer, which made them ambivalent and docile.
Now I realize that I’m the loser – at least in the eyes of everyone in The Club, because there is now no doubt, except to the willfully ignorant – that The Club exists, and the entire political ruling class, the corporate oligarchs, the TED-class influencers and CNN talking heads and panelist experts, are all in it.
Seeing now that The Club exists, and whatever is behind it pulls the levers of power, narrative, and money itself, doesn’t make me feel helpless after all.
It makes me angry. As it likely does for a lot of people.
But The Club is driven by something, that sits behind it.
What’s Behind the Three-M’s?
In numerous writings I have said that the main affliction facing humanity today was what I privately term the “3M’s of Elite Insularism”, those in the The Club are Malthusian, misanthropic, and Marxists.
But I now suspect those are mere symptoms of how The Thing That Points Beyond Itself presents, and that thing is…
A Luciferian Death Cult
Throughout his book, the term Tucker uses to refer to his posited predatory spirituality is Luciferianism, and he said that it
“reinforces and encourages four basic energies — devouring, possession, violence and disguise — which in turn, assist the Luciferian to transform consciousness, animate hidden potential, and ultimately attain godhood.”
Devouring is the core process – it is the act of ingesting various types of energy for oneself, whether it be wealth, property or life energy itself – it’s all fair game to the elites in The Club, because they view it all as theirs by divine right.
“Luciferians believe that core identity can be devoured only when it is broken like an egg or nutshell. Once broken, the victim’s identity yields powerful energies. “
Page 71.
(Serious adrenechrome vibes…)
The elites, The Club, view themselves as a kind of breakaway civilization – but not in the sense that I have been calling The Great Bifurcation for years. My sense of that was a split into separate streams of humanity, a la the Eloi and Morlocks posited in The Time Machine, by that irascible communist H.G. Wells.
But The Club isn’t splitting off from the mass of humanity, they’re using the masses as fuel for stage separation like a booster rocket. Ready to jettison our spent husks as our psychic energy is consumed to propel them into the stars and Godhood itself.
For the rest of us to go along with this, we have to submit to this and want to provide ourselves as energetic fuel to be consumed by our betters.
This involves the promotion of what Tucker calls “Self-Annihilating Traditions” and we see it in various forms of psychic driving and mass influence operations that induce an intellectual and instinctive lethargy at both the individual and mass levels:
“The actual experience of being devoured emotionally, cognitively, or spiritually usually occurs gradually over time. The devouring itself is never obvious to the victim; if it was, then defenses would be mobilized.”
Any suffering the victims do experience is attributed to other causes – I think of them as “institutional scapegoats”.
“Suicidal Empathy” is phrase that has arisen from those skeptical of the value prop of allowing oneself to be psychically, economically and even physically devoured to the benefit of The Club, ostensibly in service to the higher calling of the collective.
We have to be conditioned to desire an end to our own existence as a moral imperative unto itself – hence the relentless climate crisis, mankind-as-a-cancer narrative, the institutionalization of euthanasia, abortion and the incentivizing of medical pseudo-science that induces violent psychosis on a mass scale.
Like the Anti-Life Equation posited in DC Comics New Gods series, most humans have to be conditioned to want to die.
…so that the “capstone class”, as I’ve called them in the past, can use us as booster fuel into godhood.
Tucker’s book was tabled as a thought experiment, and that’s where it sat for me, until now.
When you map the model onto the world we actually inhabit the point ceases to be that some new predator-class spirituality might emerge.
It is here now, and the point is that we inhabit a system that is optimized for it.
Somewhere along the line, a prototype evolved inside the species, and learned to prey on its own kind. As I outlined in
another (very long) piece, this has likely been going on for a long, long time.
(That piece happened to mention Clinton Foundation insider Ira Magaziner, his role shaping the governance regime of the Internet, and his presence in the Epstein black book; the latest Epstein file dump shows, despite protestations that no relationship existed, that Magaziner and Epstein were indeed in contact beyond the stated claims. Ira is still CEO of the Clinton Health Access Initiative. His son is congressman Seth Magaziner, D-RI).
Back to The Club: over the centuries, they’ve built a social and spiritual architecture that normalizes the predation, and advances it – taking special efforts to co-opt anything that appears that could challenge it. Tucker called it “predatory spirituality.” We have other names. The behaviour is the same.
And where would such a class (The Club) take up residence, if they were real?
They would not live at the margins, nor burrow into the powerless underclass.
The Club would move inexorably toward the apex. They would infiltrate the institutions that confer immunity, walk the corridors of power where favours become law.
They would acquire control of the media organs where spin defines reality, and they would reside above the law, where consequences are for other people, the little people.
Predatory spirituality takes up residence where power emanates, because that is where it can feed without being seen, or at the very least with immunity.
Civil War, SplinterNet and Guillotines
(a.k.a. where we are headed…)
Epstein is not important because he was uniquely depraved. He is important because he is the icon, the symbol that points beyond itself.
The machinations of his network give us a glimpse of the operating system. It’s a case study in how leverage, ritual, and institutional protection intertwine. Once you accept that, the question is no longer “How could this happen?” The question becomes “How long has this been going on?” and “Who or what hasn’t been corrupted by it?”
In the follow-up piece, I’m going to widen the lens. Because when institutional legitimacy breaks down, alternative structures step into the vacuum.
Despite what The Club would want for the rabble, when it comes right down to it, people actually don’t want to be psychically, economically and spiritually devoured for the benefit of an insular, overlord class.
For years I have written the age of centralization and the linear geometry of the Industrial Age was heading toward collapse. It was, and still is, too early to tell what comes next – but whatever it is, owing the emerging architecture of the Network Age, it won’t be a top-down hierarchy, lorded over by (Luciferian) priests of the temple.
Whenever people ask me for a succinct descriptor of what I see coming, my answer was and remains: Snow Crash.
We’ve already gone full Snow Crash. pic.twitter.com/KJjgRI6snQ
— Mark E. Jeftovic (@jeftovic) February 11, 2026
As the collapse in institutional legitimacy accelerates, non-state groupings will step into the vacuum and provide the functional scaffolding that civil governments are no longer willing, or able to provide.
Sometimes they look like protection rackets. Sometimes they look like special economic zones, franchise sovereignties or city-states.
Sometimes they look like cartels with drones. Sometimes they look like transnational corporations with private intelligence services.
The end result is the same. Fragmentation. Competing authorities. SplinterNets (and consensus reality shattered).
That’s where this leads.
Epilogue
My next piece explores a strange new social construct about to enter into competition with other established sovereignties. My purpose here is to convince you that its emergence is probable, if not inevitable. I begin this exploration with an unproven assumption based on game theory and simple incentives: a new class of irregular sovereigns will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to oppose Luciferian predation. Another assumption then follows: these factions will evolve gradually and incrementally from largely compromised nation states, just as we apparently evolved from previous obsolete governance structures. A further assumption suggests that these groups have already appeared as evolutionary prototypes, as guerrillas with advanced methods of resiliency and new forms of communications and asymmetric tactics designed to support and advance their insurgency.
Watch this space.
Get on the Bombthrower mailing list to get the next instalment, follow me on X, we’re also getting ready to relaunch Ready.ca – a boot camp for politically homeless Canadians (and others).
Totally freaking scary. Too many fan blades are spinning everywhere at the moment.
What was that saying? Oh yeah, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was making everyone pretend he didn’t even exist”. THAT, in a nutshell IS the problem. You do not need to understand the devil, you need be aware of his machinations. And since most like to bury their collective heads….
You really need to watch the youtube channel ‘Katie Souza’, “Revival Has A Code” video. It explains all what you are stating very simply with God math. GOD being 1. Highly recommended and worth every single second of it’s 49m length.
I thank you for this very thought provoking piece. If I had attempted to read the book you refer to I would have done as you did –turn away from it, too awful to contemplate. We can not unsee what we are seeing; it is live and has been for a long time. Why the general public mind now has access to this galaxy of evil is a question that may have different answers. I think it is a great thing that you and many others are putting a bright light on it.
Finding out how the world has really been "managed" in all manner of reality, I think does have a spiritual or Divine element involved. Turning to the Divine within our individual selves and projecting it out to others as we can is the start for each of us.
Terrific piece. Thanks. What you have described and have so eloquently and succinctly written, is exactly what my soul has perceived over the last decade, only culminating with the release of the Epstein files. As a "Goyim", and regardless if I existed as anything else, I am profoundly disappointed by what the hidden "Elite", apparently believe and practice. I have been hoping that something or someone would emerge to mitigate this all consuming impression, but am not sure what that would be short of the second coming.
Well put, as always.
Occam's Razor does apply, we have been too generous, perhaps naive, to apply it: the devil does exist.
“Indeed the safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” – C.S. Lewis (The Screwtape Letters)
Cordially
Thanks for this piece. Very interesting. I wish you'd gone into more depth on the thing that cna be "smelled" but not named.
The irregular sovereign class are not going to appear. They are already here, living as free-spirited human beings who already choose to see beyond the lies.
I think my first question would be; why is everyone so riled up about the Epstein files as if they are a big revelation, when we only get to see what they want us to see?
Since you yourself stated that the psychophants sit at the top of power structures, that would mean they most likely have access to mass media and to the manipulation of it (which we know they do). Since that is the assumption, why is no one questioning WHY the Epstein files have been released now and how the elite would benefit from it? This is the key stuff we should be asking ourselves.
We are ONLY shown what they want us to see, nothing more. Nothing less. …. Only on small fringe-sites and low-traffic corners so we get truths that the elites don't want us to hear. Notnon the mainstream. At least not truths that don't have an agenda of manipulation for the masses.
That the elites are pedos, depraved, sick to their core and that they do the most despicable things to humans, especially children is known to many of us already. That most sitting in power positions are part of this club is also know to many of usbwho actually chose not to succumb to further mind control. So the next question is; what benefit would the elite gain, from the public having the Epstein files (at least the ones that are not fake)?
I think thet would benefit from humans minds splintering even more. Their trust in ALL institutions would crumble, in all personas they held to esteem and this fragmentation and split in the human mind can be harnessed for even more control. Cause when a human feels that all their trust is broken, that their are not institutions, no governments, no leaders, no one on power whom one cna trust and that the foundation of common consensus falls apart, then the human will panic and start reaching out for ANYTHING that cna give it safety…. And who comes in to solve the "problem" created…. No other than the elites and their plan for globalism with digital id, cbdc, cashless society with every single part monitored. Pure slavery. Makes humans desparate and they will take any solution available to them, just not to feel that good in themselves.
They are already doing it now. Creating problems and then installing further control measures incrementally, bit by bit. Except it's going very fast now.
None of this is new.
According to the i-ching, the clock ticks and ticks and at certain intervals, the background frequency of the celestial bodies shifts in such a way that the background itself stops supporting what was and enters a new cycle. Like fish swimming in slat water for decades suddenly start swimming in fresh water. They won't really understand the implications of this shift when it happens. But over time, the change will be monumental.
This shift is set to turn next year 2027. And all the years up to, from especially 2012, it's been falling apart. Trust in institutions. The the bargain. In communal give and take. It's all falling apart and the waters of the energy behind everything in nature, will not be supporting the world as we knew it.
And most importantly, the elite know this! They know this. Have known this for decades and have been planning this for so long, cause they want to once again harness the benefits of this change, instead of going down with it. Transhumanism is their version of the new world. But that's just their version. Anyone aligning with that will split into that reality imo. Anyone that isn't, might have a hard time, but there will always be a way out. Always.
Thanks again 🙂
What if the Elite are not one homogenous group, but rather more like two individuals playing heated game of chess? One does not need to be seated anywhere near the table, or hear the players shouting to know that a game is currently being played. Maybe what we are experiencing is the end of one match and the beginning of another.
That’s exactly what they are. Three groups actually though the Third Most High consciousness mostly observes and has only begun to move and intervene. The main event is between Luciferian and Molochian (Satanist) see my comments below. It should be increasingly clear two major elite groups are at war with one another. Because it is consciousness based rather than about national boundaries it is hard to parse out if you think in black and white, or materialist terms.
I've been talking about the split between Luciferians and Molochians (satanists) for a few years now. You don’t understand the correct lens though you are very very close. The reason the Epstein files were released is due to the Luciferians being at war with the Molochians and fortunately what you described as Luciferianism is the lowest octave of it and we are moving away from that form and jettisoning Molochians consciousness all together.

Can consciousness ever be destroyed once created? Jettisoning = Transformation. Transformation appears to be a cyclic back and forth between these two forms. Probably the OG method of deriving energy when GOD exhales.
Yes transmutation and also reincarnation. We are in the beginning stages of a Bottleneck event(s). Yes it simply changes forms or better put remains locked in the lower Yugas via reincarnation.
For those who are more written material oriented and to add more historical grounding to the video I shared, here is an X post I wrote about it. I also have videos on the true ruling powers the Venetian Black Nobility bankers who go back to Babylon/Tyre and their worship of Moloch (Satan). I rarely update YouTube now due to censorship so my current work is on Patreon. Huge fan of Bombthrower your website is absolutely elite in terms of information especially about the emergence of the (Luciferian) technocracy.

As Queen Elizabeth said around 1982 "There are very powerful and dark forces at work in this world". She would know.
The dark forces who rule over this world and pull the levers are surely somehow mentally connected. I guess there are off planet forces at work and those people have at least in many cases captured the minds of man and unified their thinking.
Enjoyed this piece and subscribed. Linked through Zerohedge. Re: "a new class of irregular sovereigns will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to oppose Luciferian predation." A marriage between the concepts of Pleomorphism and Parasitism comes to mind reading this essay. Life is always a hop, skip and a jump away from the oppressive laws of thermodynamics. Parasitism, long having sat a top the pyramid, no longer seems fit to occupy that space. Or, perhaps, the signal has been received that the host is about the die and its time to morph, and hunker down. Abide until conditions are right for another cycle.
Looks like hell might be the only place to locate a copy of the Age of Lucifer.
Mark, I always find your articles fascinating and cathartic. I've been nibbling around the edges of many of the topics you address for decades, but your in-depth knowledge eloquently pulls it all together and acts as a springboard for further research. So very, very much appreciate you.
I've wondered how we will survive the battle for supremacy that's taking place between the many evil factions that have taken hold, but I'll be on the look out for your next piece regarding "a new class of irregular sovereigns will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to oppose Luciferian predation." I pray you are right.
As a side note: I think some of the folks that commented in this feed may be interested in a man that goes by the name of Ewaranon. He has some interesting material posted on Youtube. The videos are routinely taken down to make them look out of date and a small number of views, but he keeps reposting and updating. One is called "The Lost History of Flat Earth" and another is called "What On Earth Happened".

Were you aware that the trannies that prey on children online (tumbler or discord) call it ‘cracking an egg’ when they finally convince the kid that he or she is also transgender ?
I was not.
This planet is run like a whorehouse casino and the people that run it are gangster's. The whole planet is a crime scene. What do gangster's do with crime scenes? They burn them down and collect the insurance money.
In order to create a new world order you have to destroy this one. Sadly they'll get the serfs to do it for them.
When the 4th turning grinds to a halt i think we'll find techno Fascist Neo feudalism as the default operating system.

Undying Gratitude for such weighty Article.
Cannot thank you enough 💐🔥🏆❤️🔥‼️
What Tucker was circling around, and what this article is attempting to articulate in modern language, is not simply criminality, nor even conspiracy in the conventional sense, but a pattern of consciousness that appears to organise itself through power. When he speaks of a predator evolving from humanity, he frames it in Darwinian terms, but what he is really describing is a shift in orientation, a way of being that treats other human beings not as ends in themselves but as fuel.
In my own work I have written about the distinction between clay and fire as archetypes, not as fantasy, but as psychological and spiritual categories. Clay represents the human being anchored in conscience, empathy, and moral restraint. Fire represents a consciousness that is intelligent, strategic, often brilliant, yet detached from remorse and uninterested in the suffering it causes. When Tucker imagines a class that grows stronger as others weaken, that absorbs vitality without feeling pain, he is describing what happens when fire nature dominates without the tempering influence of conscience.
The “Thing That Points Beyond Itself” in the article is a useful phrase because it captures something transpersonal. The Epstein network is not important because of any one individual’s depravity. It is important because it reveals architecture. When incentives, secrecy, leverage, and immunity fuse, they begin to behave like a living system. That system recruits, protects its own, and punishes exposure. It feeds on silence and complicity. In my book I refer to these as egregores, collective structures of belief and power that take on a life beyond any single participant. They are not supernatural myths but emergent organisms formed from shared intention and institutional reinforcement.
Tucker’s language of devouring is particularly striking. The idea that identity must be broken to release energy is not merely occult imagery. Psychologically, it aligns with trauma bonding and blackmail. Shared transgression becomes glue. Ritualised humiliation becomes leverage. When elites participate in acts that would destroy them if revealed, they are bound to one another in mutual vulnerability. The ritual is not about theatre for its own sake. It is about control. Once someone is compromised, they are owned.
For years many of us relied on Hanlon’s Razor, assuming incompetence where others saw conspiracy. But incompetence does not explain coherence. It does not explain why certain narratives are pushed in unison across media, academia, and politics. It does not explain why institutions repeatedly protect the same class of actors. Stupidity is common, but sustained alignment of incentives across domains suggests design, or at least optimisation. Systems evolve toward what they reward. If a system rewards ruthlessness, insulation from consequence, and capacity for moral detachment, then those traits will rise to the top.
The article’s “3M’s” of Malthusianism, misanthropy, and Marxism are better understood as surface expressions of a deeper inversion. When humanity is reframed as a problem, reduction becomes virtue. When empathy is weaponised into “suicidal compassion,” self erasure becomes moral. When euthanasia, abortion, and mass psychological manipulation are normalised under the banner of progress, the line between care and consumption blurs. In my book I describe this as the migration of fire into the architecture of culture. It does not announce itself as evil. It presents as enlightened, rational, and compassionate while quietly draining vitality from the very people it claims to serve.
The Club, as the article calls it, naturally gravitates toward the apex of institutions because power concentrates there. If you wished to feed without consequence, you would not live at the margins. You would inhabit media where narrative defines reality. You would inhabit finance where debt structures bind populations. You would inhabit governance where law becomes shield rather than standard. Predatory consciousness does not hide in the powerless. It embeds in the levers.
What makes the Epstein case symbolic is not merely its depravity but its immunity. The pattern of protection reveals how deeply the network is integrated into institutional life. It shows how leverage, ritual, and legitimacy intertwine. Once you accept that, the question shifts from how this could happen to how long it has been operating and how many structures are entangled.
The article speculates about a coming fragmentation, a splintering of centralised authority into irregular sovereignties. That is plausible. When legitimacy erodes, vacuum forms. However, decentralisation alone does not guarantee freedom. Without moral grounding, new authorities can replicate the same predatory logic at smaller scales. Fire can decentralise as easily as it can centralise.
The deeper conflict is not evolutionary in the biological sense but archetypal. It is the tension between conscience and appetite, between empathy and domination, between stewardship and extraction. A society optimised for extraction will inevitably elevate those least burdened by remorse. But that does not mean conscience disappears. The anger many feel upon recognising these patterns is itself evidence that moral intuition remains intact.
Tucker framed his thesis as a thought experiment. The article frames it as emerging reality. My view is that this pattern has existed for a very long time, adapting to each era’s infrastructure. In the industrial age it expressed through linear hierarchies. In the network age it expresses through distributed nodes, data control, and narrative engineering. The form changes. The impulse does not.
The crucial question is not whether predatory spirituality exists. It is whether individuals recognise the dynamics at work and refuse to internalise them. Systems feed on participation. They require silence, consent, distraction, or despair. When enough people withdraw psychological allegiance, the egregore weakens. When enough people refuse to be devoured economically, spiritually, and cognitively, its growth stalls.
The Club may believe it is ascending toward godhood, but history shows that systems built on consumption of their own base eventually hollow themselves out. Fire without restraint consumes its fuel and then collapses. The future may involve fragmentation, competing sovereignties, and instability, but it will also involve a reckoning with the limits of predation.
The article senses that something sits behind the visible actors. I agree. But the answer is not fatalism. It is clarity. When you understand that certain structures are optimised for devouring, you can choose not to romanticise them, not to legitimise them, and not to model yourself after them. The real resistance is not theatrical outrage but disciplined refusal to participate in the logic of consumption. That is where the balance between clay and fire is decided, not in secret chambers, but in ordinary decisions made every day.
Great piece, Mark. Fun comments, all.
Can we all agree to stop referencing these tropes as "elites?"
I don't always agree with Mark. When I do he's right:)
I specially like this part. "a new class of irregular sovereigns will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to oppose Luciferian predation"
My guess is these sovereigns appear from the East as the west and capitalism as practiced today is incapable of defeating a strong social construct of organization. The west will lose because if it don't make money then its a no go. Perfect example is Rare earth refining. The west is easily 50 years behind the east. Their reliance on the free market myth is their primary undoing, among many reasons. The only metric the west leads in is murdering children and other humans. Thats it.
OMG Tannanhuffer!
The wonders never cease.
