Here is this first of a few essays i’m planning to write exploring the ideas around a Nihilist Anarch@-Transhumanism. These are pretty much my politics which i see very few other people writing about.

Dystopia.
The future holds a horror we can not begin to imagine. Through the increase of pervasive technology that will not only dictate our interactions and the ways we move through space to the inevitable panopticon society, the future holds nothing good. This is the first premise, one that forwards the idea that things will get worse, especially on the technological front. We will see within the next hundred years horrible technological advancements that will only forward a patriarchal, oppressive agenda. It is through that lens that we can begin to see the need for anarch@-transhumanism. a need for a theory and practice that not only takes into account how pervasive technologies change our relationships (for better or worse) in today’s world and how we can challenge their inherent oppression, but also towards a logical expansive view of future technologies and how we as anti-authoritarians must fight them. Anarchism has failed, and will continue to fail to prevent these advancements, unless strides are made to actively combat these technologies.
The Utilization Of Technology:
The Nihilist approach sees no usefulness in the fetishization of technology as solutions to our problems. Capitalism can not be smashed with a piece of code any more than it can truly be smashed with a hammer. But like the hammer breaking a store window, a malicious piece of code or anti-authoritarian AI seeks to fight the war A+-s see as the next battleground. The continuation of a threat to the social order must come out of a blended technique that grabs all the tools in the tool box. All too often, usually from primitive circles, a total rejection of all “technology” and “civilization” is seen as the only way to an oppression less society. The fetishization with re-wilding makes a lot of sense if you imagine that there will be any land to re-wild on. The rediscovery of primitive technologies for survival is useful, of course, but the further exploration of technological conquest by those who are against the state can bring the power of these resources away from the monopoly of the state and capitalism.
