De la modernité introuvable au mégamachino‑plantationocène : pour un post‑structuralisme de démantèlement

Scheidler : la mégamachine contemporaine, tétrade de domination globale

La fin de la mégamachine de Fabian Scheidler
Voici un livre tout à fait recommandable à tous ceux qui veulent comprendre dans quel monde nous vivons et comment nous en sommes arrivé là ; pourquoi, malgré l’évidence de l’impasse tout autant sociale qu’écologique, tout continue en s’aggravant sans cesse pour notre plus grande affliction.

So, who wants to quit the #megamachine, build a #solarpunk #ND, #disability friendly #autonomous #regenerative #intentionalcommunity in woods, grow abundent food, medicine, trees to share with whoever needs it, host people who need a place to be, help heal whoever needs to heal, actually have time and spoons to enjoy living?

#Mumford #MediaEcology #MegaMachine: "What follows is a, rather lengthy, introduction to Mumford’s idea of “the megamachine.” It is offered here not in an attempt to counter the discussions around surveillance capitalism or the technocene or techno feudalism or TESCREAL but to hopefully add a little more historical depth to some of those concepts. Or, at the very least, to help place some of those more recent concepts into a longer trajectory of attempts to make sense of technological society. After all, ours is not the first period during which people have felt overwhelmed by the growing power of technology (and those close to technology)—and as we look at the present, and try to imagine what comes next, we should not forget the importance of looking behind us.
There is much can be said about our present technological situation. Indeed, there is much being said about our present technological situation. But as Mumford’s megamachine makes clear, we can’t say that nobody tried to warn us."

An interview with author and journalist C. Ketcham about the "Megamachine" eating up the planet.

He has a book:
📙This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption Are Ruining the American West
You can imagine why it's relevant, but you can also watch a lecture on C-SPAN: https://www.c-span.org/video/?462742-1/this-land

> The End of the Megamachine brings to light the roots of the destructive forces threatening the future of humankind today. While the first part leads us to the very origins of economic, military and ideological power 5000 years ago, the second and key part retraces the formation and expansion of the modern world-system through the last 500 years. Dismantling Western progress mythologies, #FabianScheidler shows..

@MisuseCase @AnarchoNinaWrites I'm afraid we will eventually experience real overpopulation - when agriculture collapses due to climate chaos and environmental mayhem. Unless we can somehow kill Capitalism 100% dead (no resurrections whatsoever) very soon, this planet will at some time (probably not much later than 2060, but possibly already in the 2030s) suddenly only support 60% of the actual population even if they all switch to eating almost exclusively plants. People will be dying from hunger all over the planet, probably even in the rich countries. The damage to the biosphere as a whole and the decline of the Machine Age will at some point reduce the human carrying capacity of this planet significantly, which was roughly 10-11 billion in the Noughties before things began to drift sideways.
I'm doing my part in helping the white Übermenschen who started all this bullshit go extinct by not having any children. I don't expect any sufficiently radical changes in the few years we might still have before the death of billions becomes inevitable. Only when the #megamachine begins to stutter and lose more and more of its functions, people will make changes that even stand a chance of making a difference, but by then, we will only be able to slow the decline, not stop it. If we don't get slaughtered by the fascists first, that is - as soon as people really understand that we are past the tipping points and the ship is sinking, some apocalyptic breed of eco-fascism will raise its ugly head, deciding who can live a decent life, and who gets to die for the common good.
The last Nazis murdered millions, the next are going to murder billions.
> We can’t live in a world with what he calls “counterfeit people.”.. Artificial people will always have less at stake than real ones, and that makes them amoral actors, he added. “Not for metaphysical reasons but for simple, physical reasons: They are sort of immortal.”

In the profile of #EmilyMBender, #DanielDennet makes me think of #TheCorporation, #LegalPersons and then Lewis Mumford's #MegaMachine

Thanks for sharing, didn't it come out early in the pandemic that US funded research at the #WuhanInstituteOfVirology, (#WIV) or is this FOIA lawsuit by #TheIntercept shed new light on the fact that they were researching #coronavirus, and doing #gainOfFunction work in this area.
What we are finding is that the #corporateState have been able to function without input from those who adhere to #ethics and standards.

Many ppl do not know who they are paying #economicRents too, and importantly why.
It may as well be #aMafia.
There are a host of #grifters that just need to '#stop', and we mean that in many senses of the word — its not even funny.
Most are having their #IQ lowered now. The #magnaCarta or even just understanding #local affairs is getting out of reach.

Pretty sure that RT are fair and balanced. Only a few days ago and entire program was dedicated to talking to a German gentleman, who talked about the #MegaMachine of #corporatism and he said the AlternativeForGermany was rascist and he was not challenged. He was quite well spoken on many matters.
We think that some racist or xenophobic people (~5%) may gravitate towards this party, but the vast majority simply want sensible immigration levels, and there's nothing wrong with that.
