Hello Dr. P., I see you are back posting for the penniless!
Yes, I have for years now celebrated the plastic piece of crap culture through merely living. I accumulate mass quantities of brand name plastic, and attempt to redeem the soulless replicants who produce mountains of the stuff through attempting to discover an actual use for it beyond the shortsighted insanity of corporate profit. Here is what I have found...
1) Plastic containers without lids soon crack into pieces if anything is stored in them.
2) Plastic containers with lids are universally too small or weird to store anything useful.
3) Plastic automobile parts age to gut wrenching, hideous colours and split apart.
4) Plastic applicators and tools are actually practical jokes on those who buy them.
5) DESTINATION LANDFILL!*
*Please note, this is only the intended destination. Your results may vary.
Through it all I detect a sort of pathological insanity, A desperate need to change the world into a smoking ruin, whilst literally forcing everyone to attempt to deal with this incurable disease which is, in my humble opinion, the true pandemic.
Tell me about it. I was growing up with Duplo Legos, GI Joe action figures, and later GW Warhammer plastic sprues. Everything was mass produced plastic rubbish more expensive than silver on the market. Kids love plastic more than silver. This is a fact.
China it is the same. All is mesh and mass produced. They are not all bad the artist just sells their human rights to the plastic labels and the labels work them for cheap to death. Many can't take their forged persona, microsoft autotune, and chemical Nestle powder in nylon bags. Tiktok is gonna be the end of us.
It sounds like you have no historical analysis to back up your claims. It sounds like you just read that the Soviet Union collapsed because it had no plastic. Without understanding of the external conflicts that were going on and understanding the history of Russia itself, your analysis doesn’t mean much. It’s important to know why the Soviet Union collapsed.
Your argument that the West entered the age of plastic shows that you have no theory or evidence to support your claims. Plastic is made from oil. I agree that external factors won’t go away, but I disagree with your conclusion that chemistry and fabrics were a Western propaganda ploy to win the Cold War, given that you have provided no inherent property of Communism / Socialism being averse to plastic lawns and synthetic music that causes it to necessarily fail. “Trust me bro, I am from Harvard” isn’t sufficient.
By contrast, I can provide a proof that explains why pure Capitalism necessarily devolves into monopoly/oligopoly of plastics if you’d like. Socialism was still in paper and metal.
Sehr gut, Meister P. What a powerful writing style! As an aspiring musician. The only way I see music being viable these days is to do it independently. Everything the record label offers these days can be done yourself. Artists now gotta diversify their skillsets to push out their songs. No more fake trends and artificial gayness and synthetic garbage humans. Your blog for me was like finding a unicorn. Danke!
I listen to alot of post rock,most of these bands,and there are hundreds,aren't promoted,they do their own thing,not many signed up to major labels,and some of the music is awesome
Danke, much appreciate! What can I say. I live in Toy-kyo. Everything here is fake plastics and artificial construction works and material waste. Back from grocery shopping, I got more plastic bags, foils, boxes, one-way forks, and bottles than fit into a pvc plastic rain coat. Alles Gute!
Thanks. When I think about the age of plastic, I am thinking about greasy salesmen and sex toys and modern shopping experience. My puma shoes are made of polyester, rubber, mesh fabric and foam. And from here it is easy to cross a bridge to the media and the entertainment industry. All is... a toxic waste. T
Is Dr. P a mystic?
Y’all Passing Rorschach Test After This One!
Thanks for this documenary introducing Pattberg, what a great but underrated thinker in our times!
Wow. That was... brilliant!
This is one of the best pieces on the age of future I have ever read. Well done!
Eerie stuff. Thank you!
Maybe your best writing form to this day. This Menticide Manual is terrifying! Keep it going!
hahaha, hahaha! Wummi!

Everything anyone in anything offers can be done cheaper from plastic waste. Yourself!

I lived in Hungary, but born in Germany, now the U of the SA! Never look back. Just think about how beautiful it was in the 90s!

Tiktok is so artificial and wrong. Time to ban it, at least for persons under 18 years of age.

Socialism never figured out how to transform plastic into gold. Only capitalism could do that. Because capitalism had the alchemists.
I am beginning to think that everything is a scam.
Scamming is human nature, so yeah, everything that involve humans is a scam
Capitalism be like that.
