“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”
-Albert Einstein
Brothers and Sisters! I’ve got good news from the front lines. The war for human liberation is over. The good guys have finally WON!

Debord and Bakunin were just broken out of purgatory and they emailed me from the future. They wrote that: “Your kind finally figured out that the state was nothing more than a conditioned mental belief system, bureaucratic institutions ran by conditioned humans to maintain the Spectacle of State belief and monopolized violence to back it up. Once your kind lost your belief, the bureaucracy crumbled and all that was left was the “authorities” monopoly of violence. However, that period was short lived. Once you people refused to build their bullets and bombs, it was pretty much over for them.
They were left standing, armed with nothing more than desperate wishful thinking. This “thinking” was met with the very real sight of miles of rising pitchforks, torches and 500 (and more) years of yearning.”
They then continued, “Hey, real quick, that creepy bald kid from “The Matrix” wants to say something”:
“Do not try to bend the state. That’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no state. Then you’ll see that it is not the state that bends. It’s only you.”
As the static grew more visible and loud, Debord typed furiously:
“These are words from the past. But they must be spoken right now:
If you disobey, there is no command
If you disobey, there is no command
If you disobey, there is no command…
Disobey.
