now this thing could be a humanism or it might not be. we can basically all forget about class-conscious uprising: capital itself has arrogated this to itself, and reduced it to globalized, world-friendly, rainbow coalition-compatible alliances between Nike, Starbucks, JP Morgan and Google. the universal class is the universal consumer class, and they will not suffice to be disrupted while the holodeck is spinning fables.

and that is why Exit, and not Revolution, is the option. secede or enjoy becoming absorbed into a soul-crushing infinite litany of offense, trigger, and counter-offense. or move to china, i suppose, and fall in love unironically with the party. generations of french and german critics did this before and the appeal will perhaps exist again. so we can create corporate enclaves r/acc style, or kind of try the Great Vehicle approach u/l/acc style, or bunker down for the apocalypse z/acc style, seek satori, and so on.

but no matter what we do,
You Can't
Stop
Progress
