Thrash and Junk Civilizations

“all specific forms of domination have a limited life span. No social system is forever. This also holds true for the modern capitalist world-system that has conquered the Earth during the last 500 years. The growing instability and the possible disintegration of this system present an opportunity for change that has not existed for centuries. Under the right circumstances, the farther a complex system strays from equilibrium, the greater the impact that even small movements can have, just like the famous butterfly that triggers a tropical storm.”

We will create artificial shortages, not only of goods and money, but also of attention and affection. You will sit in partitioned cells and turn your eyes upward. There is no way for you to unlock your gaze, directing your attention beyond these cells in which we will confine you and that you call 'city'. Welcome to the Megamachine.”
