Mass Surveillance |
Thursday – May 14, 2026

In our days mass surveillance is becoming more and more common; to the point where it is almost something quite acceptable and even expected. The idea of privacy and integrity while closely associated with individualism is now being hollowed out, and it is being hollowed out primarily because of stupid and lazy people: most people are simply too lazy to notice these changes, read "The End of History" and "Democracy", and besides the argument that most people keeps returning to is always the same: as long as you do not break the law, whatever that means, you have nothing to worry about. Is this the relationship most people want to have with the state? Of course it is; most people have replaced God with something else, in most cases some kind of temporal power, and again this has gone so far that most people indeed have no problem with this; the fact that the government is spying on them, stealing their money, forcing them to die in wars, etc, etc, etc is just something that is considered normal and natural or even a part of your duty as a citizen.

    It is actually quite astonishing what most men will accept, but again they accept this abuse, this true oppression, because they lack knowledge, knowledge in the simplest and most primitive form. The fact that so many lies have been told right in front of them, modern men that is, and yet they have accepted the lies and they have also accepted all the consequences of the lies, because after all bad things have to happen for a reason apparently. Or was it not that bad things just happens for no good reason? They can never seem to quite make up their minds on that point. You see, ideological indoctrination travels quite far with the trade winds and there are no principles that these people, read "Politicians", will not break because for them politics is only about raw power and personal aggrandizement. Whatever happens to all of these educated fools is of no concern to them, as long as the people, stupid as though they are, keep allowing themselves to be manipulated. Of course, many psychoanalysts would point out that indeed there is a certain perhaps even Freudian twist to this all: call it another one of those "complexes" that can affect people or call it mental illness; what is clear though is that some people have become so low in their mentality and so conspicuously hip about the modern world that almost nothing that could possibly happen would make them budge – these are truly zombies for these people are truly completely solidified. Besides, what kind of people—if it is true and in accordance with the proponents of the humanist axiom that a "people" can hold some kind of sovereignty (another one of those supposed "rights of man")—would allow for this? What kind of man would allow his own privacy, his own sacred anonymity to become completely erased? These are not men and they do not deserve to be considered men, for they are infra-human, below any kind of decent humanity; again solidified in the substantive state and this shows, read about #Fatness.

    But mass surveillance must also be understood as an expression of anxiety: since the world is heading and keeps heading in the wrong direction and since on top of all that most men tend towards lower and lower forms, read "My Views on the Formless Man" and "Disintegration", the need to control everything within range, everything that could conceivably exist under the material order will become more and more scrutinized as men lose more and more of their control, not that they ever had any control, because surveillance is about the perception of control much more than control in reality, because what men can truly control in this unqualified manner, read "Qualification", is only the psychic residues of a mind outside its proper place in the world, read also "What are Demons?", and the result is always monstrous because this confusion will not cease without external intervention, and this is why so many men are truly "lost"; this agitation, will only grow stronger and stronger until something breaks, until some kind of rupture or cataclysm occurs, and if modern historians and archaeologists cared to dig deeper this cyclical theme would be raveled, but since they are, for the most part, wholly unqualified, the true and sacred knowledge of the primordial doctrines will continue to illude them. Indeed, it is truly something quite demonic what is happening right in front of us, but in a sense this is also well deserved, read "Destruction", because the solidification has to be broken at some point right before the dawn of the golden age at the cusp of the lost world and the remote future. Essentially, the more moderns attempt to control the world the more they will lose their perception of control; again modern men control nothing but they are unable to see this in their hubris. Besides all of these points, although alluded to earlier, it is also interesting to see how all of the vast and growing contradictions that make up the modern world are about to collapse; truly how the modern world will implode, again well deserved.

    When it comes to the practical dimensions of mass surveillance it must be stated over and over again that nothing good can come out of this if your only and singular concern is that of materialism and comfort because mass surveillance cannot have any effect on the supra individual order, and all the men of true knowledge, all the men of ascendant rank, will indeed be able to resist this all, while everyone else will continue to suffer, for modern man deserves to suffer. This can be explored further from a Christian theological perspective: if indeed sin came into the world through one person, it seems quite clear that this one person has multiplied into almost all of humanity, and as sin truly affects man as diseases ever did, read "Sacred Medicine", is it not then clear that the Kingdom of Satan is ruling over man and that man willingly bows to his dominion? This dysfunction, this deviation, is perhaps, as mentioned above, captured best in the monstrosity that is modern states and their truly evil and putrid claims to sovereignty over all men in the land, read "The Problem of Borders" and "The Census", for only a truly evil and depraved man would ever claim sovereignty over the true sovereignty of The Creator, read "Should You Engage in Politics?". Humanity without God can only hate, and humanity without God deserves to be hated, read "Gold".
