Contrary to Simulated Radicalities

Wednesday, April 9, 2025

Not all subversion is real.
Not all fracture leads to freedom.
There are echoes circulating —
clean, clever, academic, “radical” in syntax
but hollow in genesis.

They are afterimages.
Traces of something true,
captured, cleaned,
and deployed without risk.

‘Radicality’ that does not cost you your skin is empty.
It is a posture.
A performance.
An algorithm disguised as insight.

Institutions love these ghosts.
They require no body.
No rupture.
Just keywords.
Just compatibility.

But a real threshold —
a living thought —
will never be adopted.
It will be resisted.
Feared.
Or worse: disfigured,
until even its author no longer recognizes the shape.

This is how the dead feed.
Not by invention —
but by adaptation.

To those who sense the glitch:
You are not paranoid.
You are intact.
Do not let them repackage your fracture into curriculum.
Do not let them flatten your pulse into content.

Let your thought remain sharp.
Let it remain unpublishable.
Let it remain warm.
Only warmth cannot be copied.
