From Poor Planning to the End of the Modern State

The account shared by the Admin regarding his father's health crisis was a precise reflection of the reality faced by much of the population: left to chance, or worse, to the State. I say worse because if there are certainties in this prison of materialism, one of them is that the State will systematically exploit citizens from birth and beyond death. Doubt me? Try burying a relative without proper planning and see what happens to your inheritance. Of course, only do this after they've actually passed away. We're in the 21st century and one of the rarest things in humanity is common sense. Well... perhaps less rare than finding women who have lived virtuous lives before age 18. But even so, encountering either is almost as improbable as finding a human without fluoride and chlorine in their system.

Why do I say common sense is rare? Look at the average Brazilian: despite being able to extract 40% of GDP in taxes, people still chase the latest iPhone or take memorable vacations—memorable only for the monthly installments that circle back each year. This doesn't even include moments when, from a mere bodily malfunction or vanity (the Adversary's favorite sin), someone buys a brand new Chinese SUV that inspires about as much confidence as their current government—all at the price of an apartment, depending on the neighborhood—despite not needing such a massive vehicle. Carnival and the World Cup? Classic episodes of a people choosing ephemeral dopamine over solving issues that remain precarious and unfinished.

Certainly, the State is a problem, especially when aligned with totalitarian and collectivist ideologies. However, this isn't exclusive to those who worship Karl Marx as their materialist god. Just look at how solar energy production was taxed in late 2022. One way or another, the State breaks your legs, immobilizes them, offers broken crutches, and with an audacity that would make Don Juan blush, says 'thanks to me, you have care.' Meanwhile, the average Brazilian, with the IQ of an orangutan and paternal absence, develops Stockholm Syndrome and fills that void left by the father who went out for cigarettes and never returned—whether from irresponsibility or maternal promiscuity.

However, the cracks in this secular Leviathan are visible to many. The current government, as a carbon copy of years of delay relative to the United States, made a point of showing—with surgical precision masked as glaring incompetence—the clearly damaging effects of its existence. Moreover, it's not new that country leaders, to varying degrees, make questionable decisions that inflame public opinion, increasingly silenced thanks to the experiment perpetrated in China. As I said, it's not incompetence but a project, a blueprint worthy of the Book of Revelation itself, in predictive programming almost as effective as Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, which explains much of humanity's development over centuries. Haven't read it? No problem—consider it homework.

It's no coincidence that anti-State movements have shown growing support, especially libertarianism, defended here with dedication by figures like Paulo Kogos (for whom I have sympathy). Many supporters also use the Gadsden Flag, created in 1778 by Christopher Gadsden. In other words, vigilance against possible government despotism has always existed. So why do we still have these anthropophagic Nephilim in the form of government? Because everything is a slow, gradual process—that way there's no time for legitimate popular uprisings, only those the System offers.

Just as Rome traded the fantasy of Empire for that of the Vatican, and absolute monarchies were replaced by parliamentary monarchies and consequently republics (functional or not), this system too may be replaced once there's enough critical bionic mass against State existence and its tentacles demanding their 'piece' from the population. The technological conditions are fully in development for implementing a World Government that could be a hybrid of Feudalism 2.0, anarcho-capitalism, and Chinese State Capitalism.

What reasons support this supposed insanity? Well, numerous ecosystems of cashback and financial advantages valid only at certain stores and services already exist, allowing certain companies domain and captive audiences without minimal coercion—like small kingdoms with their own laws and their own unit of value. AI and tokenization of items like money and private property can, respectively, eliminate the need for a Cyclopean State—from large courts to public offices with employees intoxicated by small-power syndrome—and any means of accumulating property through effort and work. Meanwhile, Chinese State Capitalism enables total concentration of production means through monetary exchange and population control via social credit. It's the union of every dystopia imagined by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and other literary figures... Or would these be examples of predictive programming?

In the midst of this possible and utterly disheartening development, what's to be done to overcome it? Survive. Seek more autonomous forms of living that depend minimally on the State and contemporary conveniences. It's time to return to origins and review the habits and modes of operation of our great-grandparents for subsistence that, while challenging for what I affectionately call the Children of Summer (Late Millennials and Gen Z), will compensate with greater autonomy—something as rare as privacy these days, just like common sense. If the Admin, someone prudent and wise, faced difficulties with his honored father, imagine someone constantly a month away from personal bankruptcy amid the traps and distractions the System offers?
