Yet, as Mihai Marinescu tells us in this two part Eastern European self-help manual for aspiring rebels against the modern world, this is impossible. Then, what am I to do, one might ask? Well, gird yourselves with focus and patience and take a dip in this long and poignant analysis. We won’t spoil too much for you if we give answer in advance: You can do what you can.

Sounds simple? It is anything but.

Echomaniacs: Alternative Media as Postmodern Propaganda pt.1

Alternative media … truth movement … citizen journalists … sounds good? Well … we’ll see about that. In this two part analysis we lay out what seems to be the true nature of alt media as a new form of propaganda – a veritable self-propaganda – ripe for internet age. The specimen we focus on are pro-regime pro-Syria activists and intellectuals and their understanding of reality as exemplified by their treatment of other historical events: in this case war in the aftermath of dissolution of Yugoslavia. We claim that the whole batch of alt media indicates to a rather sinister tendency – an attempt to erase the past; an attempt that, now that the means of virtualization are ready at hand, could just succeed.

Without a Cause: The Sinister Nature of Synchronicity pt.1

In this analysis we’ll offer few insights about what the phenomenon called “synchronicity” might be. However, in contrast to most treatments of this issue – from C.G. Jung’s preliminary work down to plethora of the New Age “spiritual” textbooks and manuals, ending up with alt right ‘chaos magick’ inauguration of their President of choice – the inferences you’ll find here are intended to show that the question of synchronicity could in fact be a rather sinister affair.

The Invisible Empire: Introduction to Alexander Dugin’s “Foundations of Geopolitics”, pt. 2

In the second part of the series on Alexander Dugin’s Foundations of Geopolitics we analyze the political program of creating the “Empire of empires” and why it excels in being the ultimate exercise in nihilism, taking the lead into contest for the most ominous globalization project of our times, although it could very well remain just an image in the head of its author and his followers.
