#The Interdimensionalmeme Manifesto
An indictment of privatized power and the crypto-financial techno-cult "There is no escape. There is not another Earth to escape to."
#I. On Governance and the Role of Money
A functioning society must distinguish between governance and capital — between the stewardship of the public and the motives of profit. When these become one and the same, democracy dies not with a bang, but in the language of venture capital decks and algorithmic markets.
Currency is not simply a medium of exchange; it is a public trust, the circulatory system of a body politic. To surrender its issuance and control to private, unaccountable interests — be they corporations, anonymous developers, or speculative early adopters — is to strip society of one of its last remaining instruments of collective sovereignty.
Crypto is not a revolution. It is a coup d'état in slow motion.
#II. The False Gospel of Decentralization
Decentralization is the sacred chant of the blockchain faithful — but what is decentralized is not necessarily democratized. To spread control across nodes and servers does not spread justice, responsibility, or empathy.
Cryptocurrency is not neutral. Its very structure rewards the earliest, richest, most computationally resourced — and calls this “fairness.” It buries inequality in the code itself, hiding plutocracy under the banner of “consensus.”
The crypto evangelist, addicted to speculative gains, becomes a missionary of self-interest. The chain-letter economics of this new digital order create converts not by vision, but by the promise of unearned value and imagined escape. III. The Corporate-State Convergence
Yes, governments are compromised. They have been infiltrated by the dollar, bought by the lobbyist, colonized by the corporation. But the answer to corrupted governance is not to abolish governance — it is to reclaim it.
Crypto offers no resistance to this convergence. It accelerates it. It hands over power from flawed but at least nominally public institutions to venture-backed technocrats, data merchants, and ideological profiteers.
To abandon the state without building democratic alternatives is not liberation, it is abdication.
#IV. The MLM of the Modern Age
Like all pyramid schemes, the promise of crypto lies not in what it is, but in what it might become — if others believe, if others buy in, if others come after you.
The blockchain isn't a chain of freedom. It is a ledger of dreams sold and lives ruined, a speculative suicide pact dressed in libertarian robes. It is the digital cousin of the payday loan, the unregulated casino at the end of capitalism.
And yet the faithful continue to preach, because their salvation depends on your belief. The higher the adoption, the higher the price. The higher the price, the closer they are to an exit.
#V. There Is No Outside
The dream of "opting out", of escaping fiat, taxes, nations, systems, is not just naive, it is delusional. There is no “outside” to the world we have made. The consequences of economic systems ripple globally, shaping policy, resource extraction, and ecological collapse alike.
Those who seek exile in crypto-fortresses or digital bunkers are not building freedom. They are seceding from solidarity, retreating into nihilistic techno-feudalism.
There is no Earth 2.0. There is no safe haven from collapse when collapse is a planetary system failure.
#VI. The Call
We do not reject innovation. We reject the perversion of innovation into a religion of capital accumulation and anti-social escape.
We do not romanticize the state. We demand a democratized public, a radically transparent and accountable governance, shielded from the ever-expanding reach of the market.
We do not reject decentralization. We reject decentralized despotism, where opaque code replaces public law, and anonymous whales replace accountable representatives.
We do not fear the future. We fear a future owned, not governed, by the architects of financial abstraction and speculative cruelty.
We do not need new currencies. We need new values.
"The people who have infected the body-politic with their narcissistic nihilism, their hopeless, futureless nightmare of a life… have been allowed to fester in the name of freedom."
Let the festering end.
Let us build systems worthy of the future, not just profitable in the present.
Let us not be fooled again.
