[punches a desk] I fucking love Planet Robobot

The subsumption of individuals in service to a nebulous goal. The loss of individuality and identity in service to a goal that was initially human but ceases to be. An ideology whose breadth and scope gets away from everyone who created it, engulfing and devouring them in the process. People starting a fire that uses them as fuel when they least expect it because goals and ideologies don’t have morals, they have infinite potential that far outclasses any people who might serve it.

Trauma as a vehicle for detachment and loss of empathy, making people extra susceptible to losing themselves in these impossible goals. The pursuit of capital reducing lives and gods and relationships to goods and services, making the people producing and managing capital into capital themselves. Things moving and working long beyond the humanity has left the people who started the endeavor. Warped ideologies chugging away and continuing to produce in twisted fashion long after the deaths of those who started it.

I am going to kiss Star Dream on the mouth.
