Conclusion
Background
Many have noticed that cultural works in the West (e.g., movies, TV, commercials) have changed in a particular way over the last two decades, but people are perhaps unaware of the formula for this change or the source — they simply identify a “woke” movement is at play and hope for better content in the future.
There is a certain “message” promoted in these cultural works which derails otherwise interesting stories with ideological imperatives — imperatives that depart from the internal consistency of the stories, ironically revealing the absurdities of the ideologies when these ideologies magically “work” while viewers with a basic concept of cause and effect can see that they would not work. For example, a story may feature a tiny person overcoming massive fighters while lacking any super-powers, sound strategy, or simple inertia.
This issue has been explored in parallel by people such as the Critical Drinker and The Rageaholic (e.g., his June 2018 exploration of Red Hollywood, his December 2022 talk of ESG). For the Critical Drinker, this is “THE MESSAGE” — a refrain repeated often in his videos and by his viewers. He has been speaking of “THE MESSAGE” for years, but, for those unfamiliar, he summarized it well in a July 13th, 2022, episode of “Triggernometry”. His shorthand is that this is the result of university graduates with no life experiences who have been indoctrinated with a certain narrative, they then pushing that narrative into their creative works. He also presumes that as this model continues to fail financially, it will come to an end.
This is somewhat correct, but there are large pieces missing.
Firstly, this capture of institutions is not an accident of universities (not that that was his claim, but it is worth stating), and secondly, the financial failure of “woke” movies will not alone bring about their end; “Get woke, go broke” is not how this works.
The World Economic Forum and United Nations SDGs
This imperative to make “woke” movies comes from a merging trillionaire asset-management group that has solidified its messaging into discrete categories for the intended purpose of shifting the Zeitgeist towards its political goals.
Most plainly promoting this strategy is the World Economic Forum (WEF), headed by Kissinger successor Klaus Schwab, which likely needs no introduction. Still, many people seem not to realize just how virulent and all-encompassing the WEF strategy is. As I finalize this article, Scott Adams showed this by not seeing the entire picture (though his routine rhetorical disingenuousness is at work as well). Yet, the WEF’s own public-facing website provides a complete framework for globalism, identifying enemies in populists, in men, and in sovereignty itself, among other issues. They are a near duplication of United Nations frameworks, merging society-collapsing strategies for COVID/pandemic policy, migration, artificial intelligence, and, of course, global and corporate governance.
Among mechanisms that the WEF shares with other entities is an extension of formerly “non-binding” resolutions by the United Nations: the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include a list of items (currently 17) which direct world leaders to make particular policy decisions for a global community. While the current Wikipedia opening lines for SDGs places these as beginning in 2015 (an opening-lines placement likely designed to obscure its history), buried deeper in the article, this beginning is identified as much earlier, such as in 1972 at a UN Environmental Conference and in 1992, when a UN imperative to implement these by the 21st century was called “Agenda 21”, a name which inspired a 2012 dystopian fiction of the same name by Harriet Parke (it “strangely” has no Wiki reference but can be seen here on Amazon).
This dystopian angle arises because these goals were not merely environmental but social and economic, and they are to be delivered on an accelerated and therefore tragic timeline (now 2030 and 2050 goals). The “sustainability” of SDGs was itself derived from Frankfurt-School Marxist Herbert Marcuse, in particular from his 1964 book One-Dimensional Man and more directly in his 1969 work Essay on Liberation (discussed in depth here by New Discourses (ND)). Notice the timing: these works were published only a few years before the UN imperative.
Marcuse essentially offered a template for socially engineering a society wherein Marxism would overcome the stability and comfort of capitalism to create a new proletariat — one more likely to accept the principles of Marxism and bring about a people who owned fewer possessions, worked less, and therefore caused less environmental damage (see the World Economic Forum’s popularly cited article on the subject). To the managers of society, this is appealing. After all, if the common person can be convinced to live with less and consume only what the managers want the people to consume, then the managerial elite can have more — more resources, more finances, and more power to do with the world what they alone will.
Effecting this Marxism required another imperative: “solidarity” (discussed further here by ND). A capitalist system’s stability is quite comfortable and productive for its members, so, to convince people to reject capitalism, a “solidarity” (collectivism) must be encouraged (note well the refrain, “I stand in solidarity with [Marxist cause].”); people must be placed on an identical template to accept the mass cultural movement of a Marxist revolution. Otherwise, individuals may recognize that possessions (capital) are not mere psychological traps, as Marcuse reckons them to be, but tools of creative efforts that allow people to manifest competing visions of society. The identical template which could effect such a collectivism is sometimes called “identity politics” or “woke”, but even more precisely it is slave morality.
Slave Morality
Explored in particular by Nietzsche in his work On the Genealogy of Morality, which holds concepts borrowed by Marcuse and even by Saul Alinsky, who directly cites this Nietzsche work in his Rules for Radicals (page 62), slave morality is an inversion of “noble” morality. Where noble morality values principles such as strength, beauty, and courage; slave morality is a resentful psychology which believes noble virtues to be “evil” and instead values weakness, ugliness/ill-health, and risk-aversion. This is most often due to «ressentiment», a term which refers to feelings of inadequacy which cause one to hate what they believe they cannot themselves achieve. Rather than improving oneself, the resentful slave will cheat, deceive, and even redefine terms for some glint of power.
A people possessing slave morality will thus see the world in a binary of “oppressor” and “oppressed”, with the strongest psychological impulse found in a reckless resentment for the powerful, for the strong, for the intelligent — for life and consciousness itself. The “oppressed” believe they are always correct and that the “oppressor” is always wrong, regardless of any evidence, and that power is therefore a simple matter of who sits in the metaphoric “throne” (see also “repressive tolerance”). And a key ingredient here is that those of slave morality do not wish to end the “slavery” that torments them: they intend to reverse it upon their perceived “oppressors”.
This reversal of roles between “oppressor” and “oppressed” in slave morality is widespread. We see this today in feminist movements which become not about equality through shared virtue and responsibility but instead wish to institute a matriarchy where they alone hold power — a means to dominate and enslave men through asymmetric possession of resources, status, and positions of authority. In racialist discourse, this is seen through racial groups that wish to maintain their cultural errors (e.g., poor health, poor work ethics, drug use) while nevertheless gaining power over “oppressors” — to enslave and punish the “oppressor” race. In gender ideology, this is the hatred for the straight and a wish to sexually demoralize the same. In postcolonial politics, the migrant is virtuous and the colonizer must be displaced. In “able” politics, this is the wish that excessive psychic powers be awarded to the disabled without regard for the value of their voice. Wherever there is an asymmetric application of power based on “protected” criteria in an abandonment of meritocracy and reality itself, slave morality is likely beneath the surface.
It is for this abandonment of reality that people of slave morality are so useful to a managerial class. Slave morality disables the slave’s ability to rationalize cause and consequence (related article on this subject). For instance, rather than seeing that throwing a stone at another person provoked retaliation due to aggression and escalation, the slave will perceive the situation only in terms of “oppressor” and “oppressed”, believing that “right” and “wrong” rests entirely within that framework’s “proper” identification of those roles, with no action being “wrong” if done by a fellow slave. It is this identification of the roles of “oppressor” and “oppressed” which unites all groups possessing slave morality into a cohesive politics of grievance and Party dogma (i.e., slave morality unites across sex, race, and “intersectionality”). Meanwhile, those in the managerial class who maintain a grasp of cause and effect are free to become the true oppressors while remaining unassailable, feeding these slaves the short-sighted solutions that they crave while ensuring that the slaves remain oblivious to cause and consequence.
In brief, slave morality is the singular social template of world totalitarianism — the binding principle which has the resentful banding together to empower the totalitarians. This is the answer to how masses around the world — despite their many differences — can be united into a framework which supports their own slavery.
However, the reason that slave morality has not long-since taken over the world is that it creates a perpetual cycle of self-destruction. A people of slave morality, lacking a sense of causality, make terrible blunders, such as attempting “justice” which is in effect more oppression, creating instability through perpetual status-chasing (i.e., fighting over who is the most “oppressed”), and spiraling into a terminal lifting of the weakest people into positions of power — causing mismanagement and the downfall of any slave society. Therefore, for slave morality to become widespread, it requires a mechanism of funding and managerial deception.
Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG)
If the WEF and the UN’s SDGs “merely” offer think-tank logic and “non-binding” principles (a popular narrative for those floating the Celebration Parallax), then can we not confidently say that this is all “conspiracy theory” and that culture is simply occurring in the disembodied interactions of free humans around the world? That is, is this not a mere “stand-alone complex” where rising ideas are a simple consequence of “history” in a “free market” without any malevolent design?
No. Emphatically no.
In 2004, using a UN agreement between trillionaire asset managers, the WEF and the UN’s SDGs found an apparatus of enforcement: Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG). ESG “works” directly as a function of its name, creating scores on a scale of 0–100 for each of three main categories and their sub-categories to show compliance with the overall strategy. It applies these scores to businesses and governments/nations with a future intent to apply them to individuals through carbon tracking (e.g., China already effectively applies such a tracker to individuals via “Social Credit” scores).
Short explanations of the Indexes:
• Environmental Index (E-Index) — on the surface, ESG’s “environmental” Index appears benevolent, being a major selling point of its “climate justice” propaganda. Most people agree that pollution is bad, and so this is the central shield that masks ESG from accountability. In practice, the E-Index ranks a business’/government’s reduction of carbon via “green” policies, with businesses that “do” more for “green” initiatives scoring higher by, for instance, making less meat and using less oil. Under the surface, a higher E-Index shows a business or government that is sacrificing its own profit motive, funding programs which “happen” to require purchase of China’s belt-and-road initiative resources, removing oil products, removing nutrition sources, and overall suffocating its ability to live by moving towards energy alternatives which claim to be “green” while merely polluting in secret and burning money and labor (e.g., polluting in Africa and China on the backs of slaves).
• Social Index (S-Index) — The social index is the epitome of “woke”. The social index accounts for LGBTQ2S+NAMBLA initiatives, immigration/migration, “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” (DIE) advancement, Marxist-education funding (e.g., SEL, CRT, university-infiltration), and is, overall, a mark of how effectively a particular population has been propagandized with totalitarian messaging (e.g., slave morality). In practice, this takes the form of funding for non-profits/NGOs, Marxist groups, cinema, and apparatuses which appear “grassroots” but are actually the downstream beneficiaries of interests who use these groups as propaganda arms. By propagandizing populations, totalitarians are more likely to see compliance with the overall ESG strategy.
• Corporate Governance Index (G-Index) — The G-Index is often overlooked but is the most important: it represents the infiltration of businesses and governments with actual and actionable frameworks for government and corporation behavior; this is represented in the very laws of nations and the policies of businesses. It is seen in their trade policies, their preference for doing business exclusively with other ESG businesses (an anti-competitive dimension of ESG); and the higher the score, the more compliant a business or government is with the world totalitarian framework. For instance, many would likely not be surprised to read that among the top 20 nations with the highest G-Index are New Zealand (96.3), Canada (90.7), Australia (88.5), and the United Kingdom (88.3) (from World Economics). These are nations whose political functions are near-totally captured by the totalitarian scheme, and they demonstrated this with their COVID policies, among other policies.
How ESG Is Implemented
Why would a business or nation willingly comply with such a system?
Because they are being given incentives through the logic of an anti-competitive pyramid scheme — an international protection racket which demands world compliance, siphons funds, rewards complicit oligarchs, and hides losses.
ESG pooled the resources of its trillionaire asset managers to fund this project, and it was quick to create a scenario which shielded them from accountability and paved the way for future success. It might surprise readers to learn that ESG was a player behind the 2008 financial collapse. Nearly all of the asset managers behind the collapse were behind the creation of ESG (and I only say “nearly” as an escape clause — it may well be all).
These institutions received bailouts, were used to justify bank nationalization, and, in the U.S., their actions resulted in the successful passing of the Dodd–Frank Act, which ensured that these managers could continue this strategy with the full support of the U.S. government via the logic of “too big to fail”. That is, in the future, these ESG asset-managers were assured that strategies which amassed losses would be subsidized and protected through government policy. Under the guise of “regulation”, that very government policy ensured that these asset managers could pursue “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity”, climate justice, and other social initiatives while being assured that the government would fund these initiatives — i.e., Dodd–Frank assured government funding for their losses.
Dodd–Frank even requires policies that these businesses were enacting four years before the collapse, with a sub-section for establishment of an "Office of Minority and Women Inclusion ... responsible for all matters of the agency relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities”, insisting in particular that this diversity occur in “senior management” (Sec. 342). This is ESG/DIE’s “pay gap” imperative, which I discus in depth here, though the short version is that this is how ESG places unqualified persons in positions of authority — granting power to those possessing slave morality. Dodd–Frank even demands “Inclusion in All Levels of Business Activities” (p. 124), establishment of an environmental advisory committee (stat. 1749), and compliance with Energy committees (sec. 751).
In short, the very businesses that wanted to reformat markets for ESG/DIE were involved in a market catastrophe which ensured the passing of an Act which implemented ESG/DIE. “Problem. Reaction. Solution.”
And Dodd–Frank is only one piece here. This strategy has brought about further executive orders and legislature friendly to ESG/DIE, such as Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act”, though a full list of acts, policies, and trade negotiations is for another article. More to the point, ESG/DIE is not merely asset-manager control through a merger of government and asset managers; it is asset-manager investment with government subsidies to protect losses. Where subsidies have not yet taken effect, the G-Index remains low, such as with FTX (50) and Sri Lanka (40.3), but this is where asset managers invest amongst themselves to promote those subsidies.
ESG policies create fragile economic conditions, and businesses and governments seek relief by adopting Corporate Governance frameworks which protect them. That is, the anticompetitive scheme shuts businesses out of the market and out of investment if they do not adopt ESG, and these shut-out businesses are only allowed to survive if they adopt ESG’s corporate framework, this action creating identical corporate structures across entire world markets. In the case of FTX and Sri Lanka, this Governance protection was not in place, so their losses were not hidden from the public. In a normal, ESG-compliant operation with a high G-Index, FTX and Sri Lanka would have had these losses covered through government subsidies, and the public would have remained unaware of the overall market losses.
ESG, BRICS, and the Totalitarian Impulse
And who is behind this initiative?
The short version is that this is a coalition of interested parties, from old-money that is managing a favorable power structure (e.g., Charles III, the Rothschilds, the Vatican, Israelites), to traitor oligarchs seizing power for their own personal gain (e.g., Trudeau, Ardern, Biden, Macron, Daniel Andrews), to vengeful Bolsheviks, to malicious asset managers and billionaires (e.g., Larry Fink, Bill Gates, Soros, the Clintons, the Cheneys), and the BRICS Group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
The overall Inner-Party strategy with ESG is to collapse the West with failed economic, energy, immigration, racialist, and food policies, allowing BRICS — and especially China — to rise over the ashes as an undisputed survivor (notice, for instance, the low G-Index of BRICS+ nations; China largely rejects ESG). In the wake of the collapse, the world will be beholden to BRICS due to their monopoly on resources, energy, and manufacturing. The West is in a suicide pact on behalf of this emerging power, which could not beat the West on its own merits and instead had to collapse it through its vices and managerial-state vulnerabilities.
ESG, in short, is the enforcement apparatus of a totalitarian imperative. It is economic warfare. Its design is to infiltrate nations, draw down into oblivion their energy and food production, change their law-making apparatuses to be more favorable to world totalitarianism, propagandize their citizens, and redistribute wealth and power into the hands of the oligarchs who oversee the strategy.
ESG’s Effects on Popular Media
Now take this logic to the movie market. Disney itself publishes yearly corporate responsibility reports which discuss Marcusean “sustainability” and DIE (e.g., 2021 report). Disney, like nearly every major business, adopted this framework. It has a direct impact on Disney’s hiring practices, its social policies, and, of course, the writing of its fictions. It has a vested interest in improving its ESG Indexes in order to earn more money from asset managers (e.g., Blackrock, Vanguard) and the federal government — i.e., not necessarily from paying customers.
As part of a business' social compliance, it has to promote ESG values, such as climate activism and Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Therefore, it must promote slave morality.
As a narrative-making effect, this compliance moves from macro to micro — from cultural and thematic imperatives to stock characters — in this way:
Overarching cultural imperatives:
ESG as cultural propaganda must promote…
• slave morality — described above, the emphasis here is on inverted moralities, a broken suspension of disbelief (due to a lack of cause and consequence), and belief in an “oppressor”/“oppressed” binary.
• values that make people accept a managerial elite; that is, people must be taught to obey an “expert” class — this is because ESG places incompetent people into positions of power, and those people must be receptive to a communal sense of “truth”. This makes these new managers willing to obey the state at large rather than becoming competent and discerning for themselves.
• collectivism and a belief that people have to serve a wider social good that is defined by the expert class — this interrupts the profit motive; by serving the total-state’s idea of “social responsibility”, people look to each other rather than to their individual reason, encouraging groupthink and preventing individuals from forming a conscience or questioning authority.
• people who do not breed — this is ESG’s Malthusian imperative. Certain classes of people must be glorified for not having children (e.g., the strong, the independent, the individualistic, the liberty-loving). At the surface level, this propaganda teaches that having children adds to the West’s carbon impact. For the Inner Party oligarchs, this assures the collapse of Western birth rates and promotes defective immigration policies.
• open societies, A.I. as a positive, distrust of sovereignty, mockery of individualism/populism — these imperatives should be obvious; these items pave the way for top-down rule by totalitarians.
Thematic Imperatives:
• Destruction of the ingenue; the absence of Helen of Troy — the female characters in a work have to be non-breeders or people who do not have strong chemistry with the male characters. Most women are asexual or defensively anti-male. This prevents audiences from being invested in ideas of protecting women or fighting for their worth (as Greeks, in opposition to this idea, went to war with Troy over Helen). A society without such a protective instinct is less combative and easier to control.
• Debasement of male power (in Western cinema, particularly white male, but this racial focus varies by nation) — If men are strong, they have to defer to their ideological betters (i.e., those who adopt ESG’s social imperatives). There must be a passing of the torch to these ideological betters, who are likely diverse. These men cannot breed, their romantic prospects must die, or the future of their offspring must be uncertain or doomed.
• Postmodern destruction of foundations and unities; the revision of the past to create a cynical ahistory — here the imperative is to demoralize, undermine, and apply impossible standards; any time a traditionally heroic character's history is observed, it must be to debase it. Hercules and Theseus must be an archetype of white privilege, multiple strong characters must be atomized and ineffective rather than united, old soldiers must be liars and cowards, DIE characters must talk about how they secretly hated those virtuous people but were simply quiet about it.
• Replacement and Immigration as a positive — all virtuous heroes must now be DIE heroes. Hercules must be black, Helen of Troy must be indigenous, Spider-Man must be gay, etc. The plight of the immigrant is given a pathos treatment; they deserve asymmetric empathy and the lands of the sovereign. This assures that immigration proceeds without assimilation and that national identity is eroded.
• Intersectional Bechdel Test — where the original Bechdel Test was mere slave-morality feminism, the adjusted intersectional test expands; there must be significant dialogue between non-white and/or non-cis DIE people. The more intersectional, the higher the S-Index for the film.
ESG’s Stock characters:
• The Mary Sue / The Imposter — While many are familiar with this stock character as a classic TV trope, this stock character takes on additional significance via ESG. Because women cannot be contaminated with the culture of classical male heroes, female and DIE heroes must not be trained by men; they must be ideologically perfect and must simply be waiting to be recognized for that perfection. Other people (e.g., the Western Hero) must simply make way for this power, and the author must give them unlimited power. But, this is not entirely due to mere self-insert ingratiation by producers such as Disney Star Wars’ Kathleen Kennedy. The Mary Sue exists as a product of ESG through ESG’s “pay gap” logic — as the “imposter”. That is, ESG places incompetent people into positions of power based on DIE — not based on their training or merit. The Mary Sue is a psychological cushion for these people. The Mary Sue assures them that they belong in these powerful roles despite having no mentor, no guidance, and no qualifications. They must simply be accepted. They are imposters without the syndrome.
• The Western Hero, broken by postmodernism — as above; the Western hero must be filled with shame, regretful of the past, with a broken spirit, wanting to crawl away and die so that a better world can occur. This psychologically conditions the audience to forsake their culture and history. The indomitable spirit of the West is reduced to a send-off story for a time that must exist only within impotent nostalgia.
• The State Expert — DIE acolytes must simply know the correct path and anyone who contradicts them or offers non-DIE (i.e., universal) advice is automatically an enemy. This is due in part to their being imposters and Mary Sues, but the State Expert is the voice of the Politburo and the direct voice of the resentful, indoctrinated writers of slave morality. This occurs frequently through the writer’s inability to disguise their agenda within exposition, opting instead for Party refrains.
• The Generic DIE Extra — this is the “representation matters” cliché. The DIE extra serves no purpose within the story but is given extra weight by the script and the cinematographer. As part of ESG propaganda, this is to normalize the DIE-induced workplace, where DIE hires are potentially incapable of performing work but are nevertheless present. This overlaps somewhat with the Imposter and the State Expert, since DIE extras often have inflated consequence and compensate with Party Dogma.
• The Indigenous Hero — Indigenous persons, even in historical settings, must be immensely virtuous, possessing low-waste sustainable strategies which best the Colonial Enemy and reclaim their lands. This comes from ESG’s immense funding for “sustainability” and indigenous peoples, the latter funded by ESG initiatives because they are most likely to not properly reconcile cause and consequence, being of a mythology which lacks scientific robustness. For the Inner Party ESG Marxists, the imperative of the indigenous in reclaiming lands is to cause property disputes within nations as well as land mis-management, eroding powers and donating wealth and resources under the guise of a social “good” such as reparations.
• The Colonial Enemy — the European arriving anywhere is portrayed as an enemy invader and raper of history; they must be filthy, phallic/patriarchal, unwashed, manly, violent, and wasteful. A caricature of the West, their very presence is met with the scorn of the Indigenous Hero, who, even when presented with a good-natured Colonist, is still correctly suspicious. This is again part of ESG’s “sustainability” initiative, which on the surface they justify by saying that certain people produce more carbon than others, and those people should be demonized for it. For the Inner Party Marxists, this causes economic draw-downs in the West, since productivity is leveled by sustainability propaganda. I.e., work produces carbon, carbon must be minimized to remain “sustainable”, therefore work must be minimized.
• The Discarded Heel — the discarded heel overlaps with the Colonial Enemy in that he is an embodiment of the West, but the distinction is that the heel is given the politics of the lower classes, allowing audiences to associate his bad behavior with his very politics. This association propagandizes the viewer into believing that the politics themselves are low class and therefore “bad”. The heel directly supports Western values, such as First and Second Amendment protections, but these politics are seen as “cliché”, abused, and a relic of the past. This stock character is seen in the patriotic redneck, the MAGA-hat wearing shut-in, and other caricatures. This open-ended category allows common audiences to quickly recognize a villain who is likely not developed and likely meets a violent end meant as an audience catharsis. The Inner Party imperative here should be obvious: propagandize the West into supporting the antithesis of this character’s Western politics, whether that be gun control, abortion, religion, speech, or any number of issues. (See also a related video by MacIntyre.)
Conclusion
While this article may be considered long, it is by no mean the complete picture. A key takeaway is that people need to recognize just how deeply ESG/DIE has infiltrated businesses, nations, and culture; and that this infiltration — despite its propagandized purpose of addressing “climate change” — leads to an overall purpose of global governance akin to totalitarianism, with the values of individual nations intentionally eroded on behalf of malicious actors. From its own institutions, the West is being sold the message that it must be annihilated and must be made into slaves of a new order. This messaging is being sold within the skin suits of nearly every business that now publishes a yearly ESG report, including movie producers, food suppliers, and energy providers. Even if citizens believe that this is a simple cost of addressing “climate change”, they must ask whether life under a Marxist–totalitarian framework is a non sequitur — a false solution in a problem-reaction-solution strategy of control.
Another concern is the immediate end state of ESG/DIE’s anticompetitive pyramid scheme. ESG is designed to hide losses while selling itself as the solution to those very same losses, creating a death spiral of faulty investments. Leaders of ESG/DIE-governed nations cause rising gas prices through ESG/DIE policy, then respond by creating legislation laced with further ESG/DIE, shifting blame by asserting that “[This is happening all over the world]”, when it is happening nearly everywhere because the same ESG/DIE policy is being used nearly everywhere.
When the asset managers can no longer prop up this loss strategy, when governments run out of money and printer ink, and when the propaganda no longer disguises the strategy, the West may no longer be in a position to evade the consequences: total economic calamity, food and energy shortages, and atomized hyper-political populations.
But this should not black-pill.
An optimistic note is that the media has had a near total blackout on ESG. Under the rules of Celebration Parallax propaganda, this means that they are still at the “It’s not happening” stage and not the “and it’s a good thing” stage. Their goal is to make this a runaway train, but that has not yet occurred, so they must continue to conceal it. Individuals can divest from ESG strategies by not paying for ESG products, services, and investments, and many states have already begun doing this. When it comes to movies, independent studios still slip non-ESG movies into the mainstream, such as The Northman (2022), which actively played with slave morality by portraying a character that could manipulate its conditions at will.
And the biggest positive feature here: the incompetent people who are being placed into positions of power to mismanage society are indeed incompetent — comically so.
By sheer Pareto Principle, their collective incompetence can be overcome with a relentless will and the creativity that they altogether lack.
