1. 🧵THE END OF THE REGIME: "TREASON OR STUPIDITY".

From this point onward our lives are works of art – the quest to free ourselves and become the spirits that we truly are.

The ministers of King Louis 16th knew the French State was bankrupt long before the King was finally...

2. ...informed the regime would run out of money in six weeks. The ensuing crisis led to the calling of the Estates General which refused to support the regime and led to the greatest of revolutions in 1789 ...

3. For 10 years or more now those with eyes to see have known that the existing political and social arrangements will not be able to accept, still less act upon, the enormity of the crisis about to hit state regimes ...

4. In the past month or so the latest news lays out the nature of the terminal exponential catastrophe: this June global temperatures reached and passed 1.5C; it was confirmed that 4C is now locked in – approximately half the world to be uninhabitable, billions of refugees; ...

5. the extra heat in the North Atlantic is literally off the chart; NASA experts have privately admitted the Amazon rain forest has passed the tipping point; latest research predicts that the Arctic will be ice free in the summer by the 2030s ...

6. leading to August and October being without ice shortly after that; and, hilariously, governments have only 5 years of “carbon budget” left at present emission levels to ensure a 50/50 chance of staying under 1.5C, according to the King’s ministers of our time – the #IPCC ...

7. The regime is about to “run out of money” – the point when locked in primary & escalating secondary effects of extreme climatic disruption make it inevitable that our governments hit fiscal crises of such severity that they will have to ask their populations for support...

8. They will not get that support. Revolutions will break out.

Duel Power. People’s assemblies. Alternative governmental institutions. Another set of arrangements in the making will overwhelm the hollowed out state...

9. New regimes will come to power either to reinvent our glorious democratic traditions, or to abandon them in favour of a reversion to old habits of violence and plunder: the fields of twisted corpses beyond the walls and fences...

10.The question is no longer will there be revolution but what form the revolution will take. A democratic outcome will be determined by whether sufficient members of the professional classes exit the system in time to serve the infrastructures of a new state project or remain...

11. complicit in the existing regime, waiting to go down with everyone else.

The strategy at the present time then is to expose the professional classes with absolute clarity: ...

12. you can only stay in the dying system for two reasons, as stated a month before the 1917 February Revolution in Russia: either because you are a traitor or stupid.

13. Treason or Stupidity. “Which is it? Treason or Stupidity”.

Either way, those of you who stay in the regime are the ultimatum climate deniers – the deniers of objective social reality ...

14. The present arrangements will not last as the academics euphemistically call it – meaning: all fucking hell is about to break out - total fucking hell ...

15. So get ready friends – your lives are now works of art. Stories of either beauty or ugliness, integrity or desolation. You cling onto control when all control is gone, desperately calculate when all calculations are useless ...

16. Or you move into the liberation of resistance: “Here I stand, do your worst. I can do no other”. And then calmly accept your fate ...

17. Life is now Art or it is no Life at all.
