Subhuman Era

Since the fall of Germania, global institutions have been suppressing indigenous European traditions, particularly the communal social frameworks of Germanic peoples prior to Roman takeover through the ideological Trojan horse of Christianity. As with earlier elite structures that held the most power and wealth in Roman systems, such as the Judaic elite within Rome’s client kingdom—a semi-autonomous state ruled by local elites who owed loyalty, tribute, and military support to Rome—new kingdoms were established in Germania through the globalizing ideology of Christianity. Similar to the Judaic client kingdom, which at times commanded greater wealth and influence than members of the Roman aristocracy, the new Christian kingdoms functioned as an extension of this same elite structure, introducing abstract markets, contract law, and the privatization of land that once was communal.

The elite takeover extends to other communal tribal systems around the world. These communities were structured around reciprocal obligations and kinship networks rather than abstract financial systems. Land was not simply property to be traded; it was a living resource directly tied to sustenance, identity, communal survival, and faith—with the groves, rivers, and bogs of the land serving as a fundamental part of worship. The introduction of money and the spread of centralized authority redefined these frameworks, divorcing individuals from the direct cycle of land, food, and responsibility. In doing so, a more malleable population emerged—less rooted in their ecological and cultural lifeworlds, and more subject to external control through debt, taxation, and wage labor.

The rise of modern propaganda has furthered this disconnection by promoting narratives that obscure these earlier models of living. Mass media, and later the mainstream web, have served as instruments for reinforcing a particular worldview that frames industrial and financial society as inevitable progress. By downplaying or pathologizing pre-modern systems of social organization, these institutions present money, markets, and centralized state power as natural and indispensable. The effect is to erase historical memory of communal autonomy, while simultaneously valorizing systems that make individuals dependent on institutions rather than networks of kinship or locality. This selective shaping of history is not a passive accident but an active form of narrative management designed to legitimize present structures.

In the digital age, the centralization of information distribution has reached a new zenith. Platforms like Google have long acted as gatekeepers, privileging certain voices and burying others through algorithmic curation. Now, with the advent of large language models and other AI systems, the process is intensifying—information is surveilled, filtered, reframed, or omitted altogether to reinforce dominant ideologies. Instead of opening access to information, these systems narrow it, creating a closed informational ecosystem where dissenting perspectives are harder to find. What emerges is a new form of soft control: the appearance of infinite knowledge coupled with invisible censorship. The propaganda machine no longer just shapes ideas through overt messaging—it structures the very architecture of what can be known.

Welcome to the subhuman era—no identity, no culture, and no value outside of class.
