Why The Bad Guys Keep Winning: A 500-Word Manifesto Against The Shitocracy

If Zuckerberg deliberately enables advertisers to microtarget weight-insecure girls with content that will push them to suicide, then we are living in an unprecedented dystopia ruled by the sickest of minds. But that’s not all. If Bezos ranks his workers based on how quickly they can take a shit, Musk forces his to bring their own toilet paper to work, and Trump loads an entire plane with his own excrement to go shit-bombing over the NY skyline, then this is a shitocracy of psychopaths.

Let’s face it: the bad guys have won big time, destroying society and the planet to make their billions. But guess who else destroys society and the planet: capitalism and its offspring, autocracy. So, for all of you out there who keep insisting that capitalism is a necessary evil, if capitalism is what you want, then you will have to accept becoming worthless, jobless, and disposable objects living in an AI tyranny. Three years ago I was called a depressed conspiracy theorist. Now the self-proclaimed monarch in charge of the US is posting videos of himself taking a massive dump on his own citizens. I have to say, not even my depressed conspiracies could have predicted this shitshow. What is happening is not just next level shit. There is no other level after this one. This is the type of shit that breaks the toilet.

We all got what we asked for in the end, the only version of capitalism that exists: wage slavery, oligarchy, and shitocrats. Capitalism is a system of economic natural selection whereby specific human psychoses responsible for manipulation, exploitation and genocide are supported, promoted, and rewarded. I called this economic system the “psychonomy” a few years back, exactly for that reason: it commodifies the most vile human behaviours into valuable market skills, essentially monetizing mental illness itself. Only the insane thrive. The sickest people in society become the most successful, ascending into billionaire oligarchs who buy out entire governments in much the same way a virus embeds itself within a cell’s nuclear DNA and takes control of the whole metabolism: Zuck, Elon, Bezos, Trump and the rest are viral particles that only know how to parasitize society in order to make more copies of themselves. And just like viruses, they are not actually smart, and they barely qualify as living beings. They are simply incredibly specialised on just one task: to parasitize.

There is no “nice” capitalism and there will never be one, as long as profit looks for vulnerable workers to blackmail, gullible consumers to deceive, and defenceless ecosystems to destroy. Oh, and by the way, there is no sustainable growth, regenerative economy or renewable utopia on the horizon either. The ones who told you this are snake oil salesmen and women, and there are more of them on Substack than there are hairs on my head (I still have a lot of hair on my head).

So what do we do? We revolt, quite simply. We fight for a society that replaces profits with ethics, growth with degrowth, and ICE with DEI. But careful: this is the one rare case where the baby needs to go out with the bathwater: capitalism is an incestuous breeding ground for oligarchs, autocrats, and crony governments. The minute you try to disinfect the scene, more of these pests will emerge spontaneously. We can’t keep skimming the top of the cesspool. The shit swamp of oligarchy needs to be drained for good.
