Dismantling Dystopia will periodically produce articles, information sheets, reports, and commentary focusing on the range of concerning developments imposed on societies and the responses of societies to those developments. These writings will strive for objectivity, truth-seeking, and well-rounded understanding of issues. However, Dismantling Dystopia will have a bias toward ‘The survival of humanity as humanity’ rather than claiming neutrality. The 2020-2023 years have demonstrated that the time for remaining a neutral observer is over.
Writings will generally focus on the following types of questions:
How did we get to this point as a society?
Where is society vulnerable and how can these vulnerabilities be overcome?
What agendas are at work and where are these agendas attempting to take civilisation?
How is resistance building to these agendas and what tactics are proving to be effective?
What are the functions and dysfunctions of the various parts of the emerging dystopian systems?
How are the dystopian systems constructed and how can they be lawfully, practically, and responsibly taken apart?
I have an academic background as a scientist, so writings will tend to be scholarly and well-referenced. A ‘better to be right than first’ approach will also be taken to writing, prioritising more considered and in-depth analysis over rapidly commenting on the latest news story.
The word ‘dismantling’ was carefully chosen as it refers to a sensible, informed, calm, practical, and logical process being used to take apart a system. By understanding the function or dysfunction of each part, that part can be evaluated to see if it can be replaced, repaired, reconditioned, upgraded, salvaged, or discarded. These writings do not encourage an uninformed and rash ‘smash the system’ approach to dealing with the encroaching dystopia. Regardless of approach you have chosen, I would argue it is best to know where the more volatile parts of the dysfunctional ideologies are located and what nonsense is considered load-bearing.
