New Issue Of JOHNSTONE: Tech Dystopia In The Shadow Of The Empire

The new edition of JOHNSTONE is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version.

Life under the empire is getting more and more dystopian. Everyone’s getting dumber, sicker, lonelier, and less happy, and our rulers are offering us no solutions besides vapid distraction while our light fades and the planet dies. Capitalism has placed all its chips on generative AI which is killing off our creativity and intellect while our governments salami slice away our freedoms with ever increasing censorship, surveillance, and imperial narrative control.

This month’s issue features a painting of Peter Thiel, who last year accidentally gave us a sorely-needed reminder that our rulers are terrified that we might one day use the power of our numbers to overthrow their tyrannical tech dystopia with the way he paused and stammered during an interview when asked about members of the public using violence against the American plutocracy.

Asked by Piers Morgan whether he agreed with the public making a hero out of Luigi Mangione for allegedly assassinating health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, Thiel paused for a very, VERY long time before saying, “It’s, I don’t know what, what to say? I, I think I still think you have, you should try to make an argument. And I, I think this is, this is you should, you know, there may be things wrong with our health care system, but you have, you have to make an argument, and you have to try to find a way to convince people and and change, change it by by that, and this is, you know, this is not going to work.”

Our rulers are acutely aware that we don’t need to put up with their rule if we don’t want to. They know we can use the power of our numbers to force revolutionary change whenever we want. Here’s hoping the rest of us start getting as urgently aware of this as they are.
