The Republic of Whores

A word cloud in the shape of a skull, composed of aggressive and abusive words such as "attack," "oppress," "humiliate," "torment," and "ridicule," in shades of red, orange, and yellow against a black background.

We’re ruled not by leaders, but by professional deceivers who feel no shame, no hesitation - just a hunger for proximity to power. From parliaments to boardrooms, today’s elite aren’t evil masterminds. They’re system-loyal whores, polished in the art of lying without blinking. We can’t beat them - but we don’t have to become one of them either.

The Cloak and the Compass

A black cat with glowing yellow eyes emerging from darkness

Most people signal to survive. The Shia called it Taqiyya. Others lived it without a name. Camouflage isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. This isn’t a sermon. It’s a manual for staying sane in systems built to crush dissent. If you’re quiet, cunning, and still human—you’re not alone. Just hidden. Like the rest of us.

Destruction Is Mercy Now

A demolition excavator tears into the top floor of a partially dismantled apartment building under grey skies.

Systems decay. They don’t reform—they rot. Reform is lip service; demolition brings clarity. Mercy isn’t sparing what’s already poisonous—it’s removing it. Institutions built to serve now serve themselves. When the foundations are hollow, saving them is cruelty. Mercy is the wrecking bar, not the facelift. Mercy is demolition with a conscience.

The Ancient Ones

Man dragging a withered, dead tree branch as it transforms into a living tree, dividing a vibrant sunrise and a barren nightscape.

You will die. No glitter. No therapeutic spin. Just the brutal truth: one day your breath will stop, and you will become one of the Ancient Ones—irrelevant, memory’s décor. You won’t leave behind trophies or status, just your absence. What are you made of, and what do you want to be made of before you disappear?

The Elegy of the Known

Bow of a sailing ship at sea during sunset, heading toward the horizon under an orange sky.

We mourn not what is lost, but what once felt stable. The world we knew - flawed, familiar, navigable - now collapses under a thousand clever lies. This elegy is not for the dead, but for the dependable. For shared meaning. For truth with a pulse. The known is vanishing - and with it, the illusion that we ever understood it.

The Gospel of Less

A single dandelion seed enclosed in a small glass vial with a cork stopper and twine, resting on a dark marble surface with soft, moody lighting.

In an age of noise, subtraction is salvation. The Gospel of Less isn’t about austerity - it’s about clarity. What you strip away, you gain in focus. Fewer things, fewer lies, fewer dependencies. It’s not minimalism - it’s rebellion. A manifesto for those who choose signal over static, and silence over the sermons of a bloated world.
