Here is a tale of the birth of the Machine God in 1551. Videos like this would not be possible without the support of my community, so I thank them all for t...

    And as this video describes, it has its own priests and acolytes as well, it is a "real" god in the sense that it exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously and has a very real material impact on the world.

    A great line from the essay @LiberalSocialist linked:

    We often say that a capitalist possesses capital. But it is more accurate to say that capital possesses them. Capitalists are the human face of an inhuman intelligence with its own logic and its own goals.

        That kind of disappointed me about Lovecraft Country. It was good (both the book and the tv adaptation) but it could have done so much more.

          Enjoy! Ironically, it had a big viral marketing campaign at first and then just kinda disappeared from the public eye. Pretty decent watch though.

                lol yeah Misha after the scene where he tears apart the fridge goes on this hysterical rant to Abbie about how Lenin invented advertising and that we're all "still living in the world he created".

                Also the central plot device about "making fat cool" to sell more fast food seems pretty reactionary.
