Remember a few years ago when I was a crazy raving lunatic for saying "governments will eventually attack Linux and Firefox and all open-source software under the pretense of stopping terrorism or protecting children"? Congrats: We're already here! Didn't take long for my ramblings to become reality again did it? You have a link above and can find more articles on your own including the EU's portal, this is a fact not me randomly saying crazy things as many so love to believe.

I'm aware this is surely not going to happen... even for the insanity that is the European Union such a thing is likely going to be rejected, even in the unfortunate and unlikely scenario the EU still existed a few years from now. But they are officially trying, with a legit legal proposal that would do just that as presently worded. Politicians would like people to show ID to install any software that connects to the internet on their own computer, while software developers and package databases are supposed to send all of their users communications to Europe's censorship servers so anything you ever say or upload on the internet would be scanned by fictional computer-people (A.K.A. the AI hoax) and physical people alike... all in the name of stopping child abuse and bringing us yet more of that "safety".

For those who still can't get over some things I may have said on Facebook / Twitter / Mastodon years ago, only understanding to take my every word literally in the worst way possible: Remember what I was trying to prevent as I saw it coming. This is where we are because almost no one did anything to challenge mindless paranoia and completely irrational mindsets and horrible behaviors by those claiming to "make the world a better place" only to bring it hell in reality... instead I'm demonized to this day and constantly risk being banned for being among the few who said anything to prevent the rest of us having to deal with things like this today. Just remember what some out there did while others were at least complicit... I sure as heck will.

I want to make something clear in very direct words for today's cult of a society: I do NOT justify myself for what I think what I feel or what I create, especially not under pressure or under threat. I need no thought passport from and for anyone: I owe no information or explanation to any individual or platform or government, especially because some twisted minds think certain content has special meaning associated with remote harms in their paranoid minds. I can draw or render whatever perfectly normal or completely crazy thing I want if I feel like it, I can freely share what I think feel or make with whoever I want, I can be whoever I want and was born being... you own nobody and the rights to their mind, period.

I have no obligation to trust anybody I don't feel like trusting... particularly not anyone who's looking to take away my rights and freedom, especially corrupt oligarchs now playing the role of popes while hailed as saviors by the very people they're ripping off. I don't need to know or care how your mental triggers work: I don't have nor comprehend them, I can see an image of the most horrible stuff and just scroll past it. I respect that some don't work this way and are more affected by what they put their eyes on, until the moment their sensitivity threatens my right to exist as a being with individual thoughts and creative freedom: If one's "empathy" and diseased complex thinking spiral to the point of going crazed tyrant, it's time for some spirits to be crushed and desensitized in tears, because the rest of us aren't going to live in a hell of angry authoritarian children harassing us everywhere we go because some have too many feelings and can't keep it to themselves! At that point fuck feelings, you're gonna be made into a man sonny: Here's your ticket to Ukraine for treatment soldier, go shove your nose up a few dead bodies scattered on the streets till your empathic condition has been cured.

I'm sickened by the way complete strangers, including the owners of large services or politicians to the comedy of it all, address me as if they're my parents / brothers / children and entitled to my trust whereas I'm obliged to understand their culture. I'm sorry but what hole in the ground did those people crawl from and who the fuck are you? I don't even know you nor need to, at this point I actively don't want to nor want anything to do with your demented world! You think just because I exist I need to be in line with your choir and part of some fashion, be it far-left or far-right or any other woke trash I need to pick from the official lists of ideologies? I feel and believe only what I personally experienced, which was rather isolated from society and other people thank goodness for that! if you think using every direct or indirect method imaginable to endlessly harass and control and interrogate me is going to change that, you're upping what you see here every single time.

My only obligation in this shit world is to not practically and realistically harm others: No going out on the streets mugging or pick-pocketing folks to steal their belongings, no kidnapping punching stabbing shooting poisoning or creepily touching people, and as far as the internet goes no hacking of accounts or making bomb threats... the list goes on for similar common sense stuff. Those clearly justified things are the only actual obligations me and everyone else have: Beyond this we have zero! I'm not obliged to understand anyone's culture and whatever struggle for the "common good" (WTF) they feel I need to be involved in... in turn you aren't obliged to understand me, in fact I actively want people to not truly understand me as any info they have can be used against me by the enemy.

This is an issue of concept and principle, something I know few people these days have instead of wrongly thinking they do: I will be up in arms over it even if it's things I'm not into or downright dislike. Stuff like toddler / very young cub porn is in fact on that list, not to mention death or gore which fuck that shit: It's really not my thing if I'm being completely honest... yet I will defend it too to the death, because just as they can judge and attack those that like it so can their judgmental mind turn against me if the random paranoia already in their brain ever gets rewired, and I'm not gonna play around with monkey brains to find out how this shit works just so I can briefly imagine "maybe I won't be next on the list".

Thing is that the more people try to stop me or interrogate me over things I normally wouldn't even think about if I didn't hear them from others, the more it makes me want to create those things just to spite them. I'm starting to feel that if I don't make my art offensive toward whatever is in fashion today I'm wasting the effort, this doctrine shit actually pushed me into feeling like that. Which sucks because I wish I could at least just focus on what I truly like doing... but hey, if even thoughts are a weapon in some medieval ideological war to you, may as well mix them up and play along a bit!

To sum it up: If I feel like it I can draw swastika dick monsters wearing a "black face" yelling the holocaust never happened while fucking 7 babies and their parents at once: Don't look if you don't like it, none of your or the world's business ootherwise. Capiche?! Of course I likely won't draw that in particular as it's seriously not my thing, plus I don't want the simpletons thinking it must be something I truly believe if I made a drawing about it... that's just to say it is my right to create whatever insanity I'd want free of your hateful judgment.

Was going to talk about the shithole Patreon and more have been turning into, but I ended up writing this instead so best left for another time if still necessary. Just yeah; I've more than reached the end of my rope with whatever alien society is out there beyond my bedroom window... if there's no way we can let each other exist any longer, best I don't speculate.

Since this has been popping up on our art sites it needs to be spoken of. Humanity's latest coping mechanism and attack on reality, known as AI, has been hoaxed into the world of artists and in the process of being infiltrated into our communities. I'm officially warning everyone to beware of either delusions or deliberate psychological experiments, involving people claiming that computer code can literally generate original art out of thin air. Incredibly enough we're now at this stage in the devolution of humanity into madness.

I was already done with the world and this further cements my complete detachment. I spent the past years explaining to a society brainwashed by Star Wars that conventional computer code cannot be made to generate art or recognize content from pixels or think like a person, those beliefs are on par with witchcraft and go against basic laws of physics logic and mathematics; There's no writable code formula for it, it doesn't matter if you call it machine learning nor how many resources you have, binary code has no way of approaching such complexity by design... you'd need a physical conscious brain which involved quantum mechanics and more, that may be possible someday but until then you can't botch the process using existing hardware. To anyone with basic knowledge of how computers work, that stuff is worthy of ushering someone to a psychiatric checkup... not for today's responsible adults who run giant corporations and entire nations, those can afford to live in a parallel existence we aren't even allowed to contradict (it's dangerous misinformation) and I'm sure nothing will ever go wrong in that.

Thus welcome to the latest escalation: Instead of accepting reality and its core limitations, people are now applying oil paint filters to their art and claiming it was generated by men made out of C++ code... they even created websites like that Dal-E for automating the process using keywords to mix sprite patterns. Of course that wasn't enough: Now they take over art sites to impose their epic story onto the rest of us, using the classic game of good cop / bad cop as the usual tactic to introduce every latest thing: First the protagonists come with their fictional danger or technology rabidly claiming its existence while shutting down anyone who gets in their way, then everyone else needs to make statements or enact rules regulating that thing as if it were real. We're now at the later stage where art sites are announcing policies on "AI generated art" ignoring the fact that, you know... such a thing is not physically possible!

Is it worth the effort humanity? Going to such length for what's literally a childish fantasy taken from your favorite 90's films? All for a coping mechanism to deny your reality and limitations? Are you managing to live in your favorite video game and escape reality yet? Because I hear the climate will soon go haywire and there's some war involving nuclear powers while a global economic depression is happily on its way: I'm not sure if the man trapped in the body of a computer can save you from that and take you over to binary land, you might need to close your eyes really hard and port the mechanics from Tron next.

Some people said it well: We live at a time where reality no longer exists at a fundamental level. Even things that physically and logically cannot exist are being simulated as the masses are playing along, without anyone of common sense being able to get in the way any longer, all to appease scammers or people who can't cope with the limitations of their own existence. What even is reality any more then? Why should I pretend I live in a real world, instead of acting like I'm some superhero character who can do whatever I want regardless even of the very laws of physics? Maybe I should take their lesson and abandon this boring mundane existence in favor of a fantasy that isn't there yet... after all, if I really want it, it must be true right now somehow! We're at the point where one can legitimately ask those questions.
