Introduction; From Culture War to Consciousness War:

“At no time in Western Civilization has man accepted so willingly contrivances calculated to weaken and destroy him.”
Anton LaVey, The Devil's Notebook

For a long time I have considered the issue of society and what to do about it. There is a society; it is “out there,” doing its things beyond my control, and I am reliant upon it even though it isn’t me. This is an unacceptable situation, and the more I considered it the more I realized that the thing to do is to destroy society, my great enemy. But this is far easier said than done; I can’t just decide society doesn’t exist and then forget about it; what I need is a plan and a concrete set of steps aimed at achieving this goal, and to this end, a few obvious options present themselves:
Firstly, I could go around town throwing rocks into windows, turning dumpsters and mailboxes upside down and throwing them across the street, attacking people, tearing signs out of the ground, popping peoples tires and catching buildings on fire all while shouting insults and obscenities at everyone in my path. Although this is a reasonable and respectable approach, it probably wouldn’t cause any significant damage to society at large before the men in white coats come to take me away to the funny farm.
Secondly, I could become a terrorist and mail bombs to universities and airlines like the Unabomber. This is a far superior approach to the first in every way and may even cause substantial damage to society in the meantime, but probably isn’t enough to bring society down either and is also likely to land me in a Federal Supermax Facility. Clearly a more calibrated and effective approach is needed.
Thirdly, I could become a drug dealer and sell heroin, cocaine and meth. This seems like a very reliable method of causing damage to society, and is virtually guaranteed to cause some amount of devastation for it. However, there are already thousands of such people doing this far better than I ever could, and going into competition with them is more likely to get me imprisoned or killed than anything else. This part of the war on society should be left to certain very highly trained professionals.
Fourthly, I could become one of these Postmodern Philosophers I keep hearing about; infiltrate the university system and undermine the values of society from within. Obviously between getting a PHD, a job teaching at a university and tenure, this will take time and effort to do, but so far it seems to be the approach with the most objectively verifiable capacity to spread chaos and destruction throughout this society I hate so much.
And so I set about to create my own school of Critical Theory, aimed specifically at undermining all artificial values and norms and producing the maximum amount of devastation for the social order. But while I was fast at work doing just this, something began to change in the society around me, and this change became manifest as the culture war, the most significant event in which so far has been the election of Donald Trump.

Every two years they litter the streets and landscapes with their trash: these strange brightly colored signs with meaningless phrases on them, designed to look important. Their purpose is to inform me of all the latest wonderful, exciting and new options for political representation; such heroic individuals as  “Joe Shitweasel” or “Jack Scumfuck,” and together they constitute a sort of catalog of bold new reformers, all-american heroes, saviors and “not your typical” politicians, out to fix up our “broken political system.” All of them have paid for very expensive campaigns devoted to convincing me that the others are bigger pieces of shit than they are. They call them “campaign ads,” but for my part, I say they’re garbage and in fact, I think that the city should round up all the campaign ads in town, count them, identify the candidates, then fine all of them for littering at $10,000 per piece of trash recovered, plus the cost of hiring someone to remove them all. After all, if I put together signs that said “Derek rocks and Raymond sucks,” and threw them around town, someone would almost certainly fine me for litering, and I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of it by castigating “Derek rocks and Raymond sucks” as some sort of “information of vital importance to the public.”
But the lunacy doesn’t stop there, because around the same time that they put up physical ads, they also start paying for “online campaign ads,” basically online harassament schemes aimed at pressuring us into taking them seriously. These ads typically consist in a single meaningless phrase over a picture of the candidate in question along with a request for money, something like “the stakes have never been higher” or “I need your help.” Sometimes, if they’re feeling creative and adventurous, something similar to “a bold new day” or “progress.” These ads are sometimes even reported on by the News media as if they were actual events, as if the candidates were conjuring supernatural power of some kind by making these ridiculous spectacles.
The ethos of modern western politics is quasi-religious. Somewhere amongst all these degenerate vermin is our champion, who will save us from all our real world issues, and what would we do without whoever that is? We must be informed of this person and all of their latest bold new measures to save the day or whatever it is, it is their duty to inform us of their greatness, otherwise, whatever would we pathetic lemmings do with ourselves?

Excuse me, but since when am I supposed to care about Joe Shitweasel? I don’t care about Joe Shitweasel and I never will. In fact, if I check the news tomorrow morning and the lead story is “Joe Shitweasel was brutally and horrifically ripped to pieces by grizzly bears this morning,” it would make my day.
When I found out that Walorski died in a car crash, I grieved the fact that it wasn’t all the politicians that had died, and I announced bereavedly: “why couldn’t it have been all of them!?” But I was over it relatively quickly, after which I celebrated it as a holiday.
When I heard Maxine Waters tell a crowd of people to actively abuse members of the Trump administration if they so happened to run into one of them, I actually actively agreed with her, but with the edition that this should be how all politicians are treated regardless of party. Politcians should get worse service at restruants, 3 times as much spit and twice as many pubic hairs in their food and beverages, they should have to be accosted in public, have garbage thrown at them and perhaps even occasionally be picked up and thrown into dumpsters on their way to the Capitol like in Old High School movies.

It may be very common and exected for people to complain about politicians, about how much they suck and ruin everything, but I have a particular hatred for them that goes well beyond this. I see no intelligeable reason why these people or their mock movements should ever be taken seriously by anyone or given any degree of prestige, credibility or special treatment, let alone why they should be at the top of our social pyramids. As far as I am concerned, politicians aren’t even the same species as the rest of us: nothing but maroding lunatics, degenerate vermin beneath rats, cockroaches, termites and mosquitos, a blight, a scourge and a pestilence upon the world, living examples of how not to be.
Of all the groups of people on this planet, one in particular stands beneath all of the others in honesty, integrity, dicipline, intelligence, coherence, and every other positive human quality: that group is politicians. Since time immemorial, these disgusting filth have polluted our world, and it is well past time that something be done about it. What we need is a final solution to the politician problem.

However, in that most surreal year of 2015, something strange happened. A new politician emerged on the horizon, someone who was bound to upset the political climate such that it would never be the same again, and that psychotic champion of the people was Donald Trump. Most politicians these days advertise themselves as being “not your typical” politicians, but in the case of Trump, this was undoubtedly the case. To the Progressive Liberals and SJW’s who watched Leftie Lamestream Media, he was the harbinger of doom, evil incarnate, the spawn of Satan himself come to destroy us all. To the MAGA Conservatives, he was the God Emperor Trump, savior of America, champion of the chuds, the greatest hero ever to walk the face of the earth. With “show, don’t tell,” being his de facto motto, Trump had established his relevance beyond any dispute; he truly was “not your typical” politician.
Many political analysts and theorists have speculated as to just how Trump was elected given such “unprecedented” levels of unpopularity, even within his own party. Of course, concise causes are always hard to pin down, even after extensive research, but it seems to me that the largest reason may lie in the remarkable similarity between these two narratives about him. Both CNN and MAGA Conservatives actually believe that Trump undermined Americas institutions, disrupted our political process as it has developed until now in some significant way, and inspired a series of cultural and political changes that would have been thought impossible previously. All of these beliefs are false, Trump did not undermine our institutions, disrupt our political process or destroy our culture, if he did, I would be his biggest fan.
After years of extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that the deciding demographic in trumps election was in fact the teenaged edgelord vote; 18 or 19 year old edgelords who were flipping through TV channels one night only to stumble upon Don Lemons now cancelled show on CNN prior to his psychotic breakdown. “Donald Trump is waging an all out war against the American government, doing everything he can to destroy americas institutions, annihilate our political process, wreck havoc on our culture and society, andbring a reign of ruin on all of our leaders,” states Lemon, grabbing their attention and stopping their fingers from changing the channel. He then adds: “If Trump is elected President of the United States, Satan will pop his head out of the ground, Godzilla will destroy Tokyo, aliens will blow up the White House, hell will invade earth like in Doom, Y2K will happen 23 years late, there will be riots and orgies in the streets and the entire social order will be destroyed, after which we will all wonder into the wilderness, entering a new world reminiscent of a mad max movie.” Then, after hearing this, our untold millions of 18 or 19 year old edgelords proceed to become avid Trump fans, donating money to him, buying his signs and merchandise, advertising for him to everyone they can, and, of course, using the topic of Trump to offend snowflake liberals for their own amusement. This worked very well for Trump because young people are the one demographic that every brand of politician has had difficulty appealing to, each putting forward their own pathetic and dumbfounded attempts to do so and failing miserably, all except for 3; Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders and donald Trump, with Trump being the only one to successfully be elected the President. Political analysts can ponder indefinitely about how “by any measure Hillary should have won,” but the answer is extremely obvious; her best attempt to appeal to young people was to tell them to “Pokemon go to the polls.” When compared with Trump’s army of pepe memers, there should be no question why Trump won the youth vote, and thereby the presidency.

For 4 straight years afterwards we were treated to a parade of hilarious reactions to Trump’s election; every week CNN would come up with a brand new absurd thing Trump was supposedly going to do, along with a new and groundbreaking “leak,” “accusation” or “legal scandal” that was supposedly going to take down big bad evil Drumpf for good, and some “expert” or “authoritative official” would be brought on to certify that Trump was in fact done for, and the online left sneered in self-righteous haughtiness for brief periods before switching back to raving about how “the end is near” or something. For the years of 2017 and 2018, Trump's edgelord base lived in a pleroma of high quality entertainment which didn’t call for much more than to sit back and enjoy the show. Sometimes the victims of Trump Derangement Syndrome would be used to create even more entertainment by the creation of contrived troll circumstances, such as with the repeated theft of Shia Labeouf's flag, one of 4chan’s greatest achievements.
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the YouTube recommendations, then up the Infowars Breaking News Reports or down the Weirdo Web Rabbit Hole to 4chan or Drudge Report. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a crazed forum on 4chan and scroll down, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high - water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

However by the year of 2019, the troops were becoming restless. It had been 2 years since Trump's inauguration, but hell was yet to invade earth, our society, culture and government were all relatively intact, and everything actually seemed pretty normal. This was devastating to the edgelord armies who had gotten Trump elected, and who were by now slightly older and had begun going through their respective quarter life crises en masse. There was still a slight afterglow left over from Trump's election, maintained by CNN’s insistence that all hell had broken loose and that chaos was soon coming to a venue near you, but this vestige of momentum was about to be crushed into oblivion by the absolute shitshow that was to be 2020.

It was early in the year of 2020, the very twilight of the new decade: the 2020’s had begun, and the next presidential election was quickly approaching, being already less than a year away. The Culture Warriors rapidly organized to plan and stage the next move; Trump may not have collapsed society and uprooted our institutions, but at least the likes of Don Lemon, Bill O’Reilly, Hillary Clinton, George Bush Sr, George Bush Jr and Mitt Romney believed that he had, and this was at least a start. However, what they did not anticipate and what nothing could have prepared them for, was the immeasurable destruction and unending devastation of the inconceivably horrific catastrophe called the COVID Plandemic.
First, the lamestream Media started obsessively running headlines about some insanely dangerous new disease called “COVID-19,” and about how we supposedly needed to shut down our entire economy and destroy everything that we can in the name of “muh COVID,” because it’s supposedly “the only way to avoid the wrath of the muh COVID.” Mindless degenerates such as Anthony Fauci were brought on air and touted as “experts,” and would then “inform” us of the supposed “need” to destroy the economy lest doomsday befall us.
Then, politicians like Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo were brought on to declare that Fauci’s insane proposals would be enforced by law. Outrage ensued as peoples livelihoods and sanity were threatened, but there was nothing to be done; Fauci and his ilk had all the power, and those whose lives they destroyed didn’t. All the while, our supposed champion of chaos, Donald Trump, was busy at work implementing all of Faucis braindead proposals, while the lamestream Media simultaneously accused him of “ignoring COVID.”
Finally, an entire army of Karens and Covidians were deployed to insert “muh COVID” gibberish into as many people's daily lives as possible in as many ways as possible. Signs were put up ordering us to wear masks, public bathrooms were locked down, and the economy was legally mandated to dismantle itself. By the year of 2021, the unimaginable horror and reality-shattering devastation brought about by the likes of Anthony Fauci had become quasi-apocalyptic, such that Fauci had firmly established himself amongst the great lunatics of history such as Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler.

Trump had lost all credibility as an agent of destruction and chaos, and no one except for the Qanon weirdos could take him seriously from then on. With their champion discredited and their lives ruined, the Edelord armies retreated into the ruins of what used to be referred to as their personal lives: demoralized and half-crazed, they absorbed themselves further and further in weirder and weirder online spaces. Not that they didn't deserve it: No doubt they all got what was coming to them. All those pathetically eager MAGA freaks who thought they could elect Anarchy and Chaos with a ballot or a few punches into a voting machine. But their failure is ours, too. What Trump took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create . . . a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the 4chan Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody-or at least some force-is tending that apocolypse at the end of time.
The deciding factor in Trump’s election was effectively removed from the political scene, leaving the Normies to elect a champion of their own, one Joe Biden, and from then on the web-freaks went into a sort of hybernation, waiting for their next big opportunity to wreck havoc upon this worthless society.

In many ways Joe Biden’s 2020 Presidential Campaign was a sort of negative image of Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign. Trump marketed himself as an agent of chaos, oppositionalism defined and a totally new political force destined to bring ruin and destruction to the contemporary political establishment. Biden, on the other hand, marketed himself as a return to normalcy, blathering on about “our Great American Tradition” which had supposedly centered our lives until the election of Donald Trump and which he was supposedly going to return us to. Biden was the boring candidate, the toilet paper candidate. No one really wanted Biden to win, in fact the single largest reason people had for voting for Biden was their belief that he could. The political dynamic in the West had been completely turned on itself: here we had a “liberal progressive” candidate marketing himself as a return to tradition and a “reactionary conservative” candidate marketing himself as an agent of change.

Joe Biden, like Barack Obama, had finally prevailed for reasons that people like me refused to understand - at least not out loud. But that was some other era, burned out and long gone from the brutish realities of this foul year of Our Lord, 2023. A lot of things had changed in those years. And now I was in AcidVille working on an insane new book for some reason that I didn’t claim to understand.

There is a specter haunting the Western World, and it is the specter of the Culture War. Ever since roughly the mid 2010’s, this non-event threatens to exert itself on our common reality at every point. It has no substance, yet has the power to warp our whole social reality. As a result, an entire industry has grown up around political and cultural conflict in a way never seen before: the profiteers of this conflict we know as “Culture Warriors,” and they have been working tirelessly for the past decade or so to maintain their illusions of self significance by perpetuating this farcical conflict. How have they done this?

The vast majority of people have no use for hyper-political or hyper-ideological gibberish outside of their function as entertainment and as justifications for mock events such as political debates or elections. The average American [voter] hates the politicians in their own party more than they hate those who vote for the other party.  This being the case, how does such a pseudo-conflict as the so-called “Culture War” manage to perpetuate itself?
The only people who would actually be invested and have a stake in the Culture War are, on the one hand, that handful of rich fucks who already have immense sums of money with which to blow on cultural engineering (people such as George Soros or Bill Gates), and, on the other hand, those who (like Jordan Peterson) have found a way to monetize the SJWs and Wokeist Ideology. Everyone else could care less about the Culture War except on a handful of unique occasions in which it seems to spill over into Lamestream Consciousness. However, as the spectral Culture War has intensified and threatened to develop into a spectral Civil War, more and more things have become political and ideological and the development of narratives and counternarratives has become more and more important to more and more people as the occasions in which the Culture War has spilled over into Lamestream Culture have become more frequent and intense. Every developed country in the world has had their public consciousness become infected, one way or another, with an unhealthy obsession with this grandiose pseudo-conflict which we call the “Culture War'' (a farce maintained by the contrivances and narratives that are cooked up by a relatively small handful of ideologically-driven lunatics).
This spectacle has been perpetuated by a stream of media events, big and small, both grassroots and top-down, but no series of past events can maintain it continuously: The Culture Warriors cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of meme making, and thereby the relations of meme-making, and with them the whole relations of internet troll subculture.

Media rage-baiting, centered around the pursuit of profit and attention and amplified by the rise of the internet, may explain a certain portion of this phenomenon, but in the last analysis we must understand it as a manifestation of already latent contradictions in our society. In order to trace back the origins of the current Culture War, I have done extensive research into history, sociology, psychology and political philosophy in order to provide the best critique of the Culture War available. So far in my research, so far as I can tell, the current Culture War developed out of the previous culture war (about 1979-2013) and seems to have developed in a series of stages:

The First Stage, which lasted from about 2004-2012, was centered around New Atheism and fueled by their capacity to spark the outrage of evangelocons everywhere. Unfortunately for them, this entire enterprise seems to have been single handedly held together by Christopher Hitchens, so that when he died in 2012, the New Atheist Movement died with him, causing the various profiteers of the movement to schism. In a desperate attempt to cling to relevance, many of these profiteers resorted to ideological fervor, incorporating Intersectional Feminist talking points into their content in an attempt to attract a wider base. Needless to say, this plan backfired so spectacularly that not only did they not attain a wider audience and instead garner the hatred of most everyone who knew of them, their efforts actually wound up igniting a hate-fueled reaction against them which actually did wind up appealing to the broader public. Soon enough, an entire industry had been set up around so-called “Anti-SJW Content.” Angela Nagle notes:
“Although it had since become less influential, one geeky online subculture that started to move to the right and shared many characteristics of the contemporary alt-right was ‘new atheism’. It was one of the predecessors to the alt-light, with an underlying Christopher Hitchens style of hitting out at the irrational and the faithful. All the ‘Milo OWNS stupid feminist’ type of videos today are made with much the same style as the new atheist videos that were equally numerous on YouTube a few years before with titles like ‘HITCHSLAP. Hitchens OWNS stupid Christian woman’. It also had the same Nietzschean, anti-mainstream, non-conformist sensibility running through it.”
Kill all Normies

The Second Stage began immediately after and as a direct result of this schism. It was during this time that YouTubers such as the Amazing Atheist or Sargon of Akkad began producing “anti-sjw” content.  But soon enough the grifters came to exploit that market by saturating it with sub-par content. By this time, New Atheism had been thoroughly reduced to a laughing stock, with its most serious project being to make fun of “SJWs” and “Atheism Plus.”

The Third Stage began when Trump declared that he was running for President in 2015. Immediately after this happened, the Mainstream News outlets began to take it up as an event, which they tried to perpetuate by exaggerating every nonissue that sprung up around him. On “left wing” “news” outlets, ‘OK’ hand gestures and Tostadas became the new political hot topics (at least for the day) while on “right wing” “news” outlets Trump came to take on an all-important (almost messianic and larger than life) persona, which has since come to function as the primary unifying factor within the contemporary Right Wing. Through this “bipartisan” effort, a positive feedback loop was eventually established, whereby Trump would make “outrageous” comments designed to be entertaining to those who would’ve already been prone to vote for him and infuriating to those who would’ve already been prone to be opposed to him, and in this way acquire billions of dollars in free advertising for his campaign by exploiting the growing American Political divide, and this was when the current Culture War began to intensify and take on a form resembling something like its current one. The Trump Campaign represents the single largest spill-over of Culture War Politics into Lamestream Society, and ever since its success everyone else who has become invested in it has been desperately grasping at the last semblances of the credibility they enjoyed during that time frame.

The Fourth Stage began with the election of Donald Trump and ended with the beginning of the COVID Plandemic. It was characterized by a perpetual attempt on the part of media outlets, culture warriors, politicians and activists to keep their pseudo-conflict going and their veneer of self importance afloat by making Trump out to be some incredibly powerful being of ultimate significance, in one way or another: the media promoted Trump, Trump promoted the media, and advertising competed with Trump.

The Fifth Stage began with the COVID Plandemic and ended with the election of Joe Biden, and featured a splitting up of the Republicans and a faux comeback by the Democrats, who had significantly toned down their hyper-moralistic woke rhetoric by then. During this time, Trump's base both shrank and became more paranoid and devout, culminating in the storming of the capitol building on January 6 2021.

The Sixth Stage began with the election of Joe Biden, and was to a large degree defined by a persistent attempt on the part of politicians, media outlets and culture warriors to perpetuate Culture War issues and tensions, all to maintain a veneer of personal significance on  their own part. In many ways, this situation was a reflection of Joe Biden's campaign in much the same way the Trump Campaign had defined the Culture War up until that point; whereas Donald Trump’s campaign strategy consisted of living as a 4chan meme, advertising himself as a sort of patriotic anarchist and promising to undermine the establishment and upset the people his supporters don’t like, Joe Biden’s campaign marketed itself to the normies as a supposed “return to normalcy” in contrast to a Trump Presidency which was castigated as a breech in some vaguely defined “long standing American tradition.” Most of Biden's own voters did not like him or want him to win, and when asked the primary reason for their support, most answered by stating their belief that he could win the election.
During this stage, much more elaborate and sophisticated attempts to control media narratives were enacted under the guise of controlling “misinformation” [claims the government claims to be false] and “malinformation” [claims the government admits are correct but would rather you not spread information about]. These attempts have come from both the right and the left, but have more often come from the left, as the Right has increasingly come to be consumed by the most insane paranoid conspiracies.

The Seventh Stage began when the candidates for the 2024 presidential election started being declared early in 2023. This stage was defined by a growing realization on the part of the general public, lamestream media and the US political establishment that neither Trump nor Biden are viable candidates, and none of the candidates that have presented themselves so far are either. The defining feature of this stage was economic, cultural and political stagnation and disorientation as we waited for the chips to fall and the direction to be set.

From the beginning, we knew that this Culture War would never happen. After the hot culture war (The Counterculture), after the cold culture war (the Satanic Panic), here comes the dead culture war- the unfrozen cold Culture War - which leaves us to grapple with the corpse of culture war and the necessity of dealing with this decomposing corpse which nobody on the internet has managed to revive. The Intersectional Feminists, Alt-Right and Alt-Left are fighting over the corpse of Culture War.
The Culture War has entered into a definitive crisis. It is too late for the (hot) Civil War: this has already taken place, distilled down the years into the Satanic Panic. There will be no other. It might have been supposed that the defection of the MAGA-ists would have opened up new spaces of freedom for Culture War by unlocking deterrence. Nothing of the sort.

Since it never began, this Culture War is therefore interminable. By dint of dreaming of pure Culture War, of an orbital Culture War purged of all local and political peripeteias, we have fallen into soft Culture War, into the virtual impossibility of Culture War which translates into the paltry fantasia where adversaries compete in de-escalation, as though the eruption of the event of Culture War had become obscene and insupportable, no longer sustainable, like every real event moreover. Everything is therefore transposed into the virtual, and we are confronted with a virtual apocalypse, a hegemony ultimately much more dangerous than real apocalypse.

Culture War has not escaped this virtualization which is like a surgical operation, the aim of which is to present a face-lifted Culture War, the cosmetically treated specter of its death, and its even more deceptive televisual subterfuge. Even 4chan has lost the privilege of use-value, the privilege of real Cultural Conflict.

This confusing information-driven milieu poses a number of questions for us, such as: how did we wind up in this situation? What are the factors that led to and/or perpetuate the current “Culture War?” What will happen when those engaged in it are forced to return to the real world and live with the grim realities of the collapsing Neoliberal world economy and the morbid socio-psychological symptoms associated with Late Capitalism? Is there still any way to avoid hyper-reality and the spectacle and escape into the unmediated reality of directly experienced events? To do this would mean stepping outside of the Culture War and enter the horizon of Consciousness War, requiring us to recognize the entire Culture War, together with all of the adjacent pseudo-conflicts with which the bulk of people have been attempting to make sense of their lives (everything from the “Cis-White-Hetero-Normative-Capitalist-Patriarchy” to “White Genocide,” “the War of Christmas,” and “Christian Oppression) as themselves just another manifestation of the fundamental instability of Western Civilization at this point in history. What we need is a new approach to social organization, a new way of organizing ourselves and of interpreting the world and of making sense of our lives: but I can’t give you anything like that, so instead I wrote this completely insane and unhinged manifesto, the goal of which is to upset every one of your oh-so precious sensibilities. Its my way of saying “fuck you people.”
