"The NPC meme is a response to something real.
"We are all NPCs (to one degree or another) because we are all in bondage."
The first step to freedom is to realize that one is in shackles.

The theory of historical materialism, which posits that economic base determines superstructure, led millions to believe that revolution would liberate them from capitalist oppression, and transform them from NPCs into PCs.
They were wrong, of course. The meme was just a dream.

Foucault, Derrida, Butler and other post-structuralists offer their own theory of the NPC: That "the subject" is an illusory social construct, produced by discourse or power, and thus lacks true agency of its own.
Social constructionism is an attempt to kill off the PC for good.

Classical & Cultural Marxism.
Social Constructionism.
Postmodernism.
Social Justice.

Globalism can only "run" by suppressing individual and group differences.
Hence, it must hack the operating system of individuals, groups and entire nations, and install the malware of blank slatism.

If the malware of blank slatism is widely accepted by the masses, then social engineering becomes possible on a truly global scale.
Globalism becomes a kind of game that is programmed and developed by our technocratic elites, one in which the "players" are always getting played.

The deal the post-1968 left made with oligarchs of the West: Free sex in exchange for free trade.
If neoliberalism is radical mobility of capital and labor, sexual liberation is radical mobility of bodies and desire. Convergence was inevitable.

Occupy Wall Street represented the triumph of multicultural neoliberalism.
After the financial crisis of 2007-2008, America was ready for revolution.
Yet a unified message of economic justice was fractured by diverse calls for "social justice," and the movement never recovered.

The abandonment of the working class by the neoliberal left had been under way for decades when Bernie Sanders launched his 2016 presidential campaign.
