Gaming’s Decline Is a Capitalist Problem—Not a Cultural One

The decline in the quality, integrity, and sustainability of the gaming industry isn’t due to cultural decay or political division. It’s capitalism, plain and simple. Both conservatives and liberals often misdiagnose the issue because they operate within the same capitalist framework. What we’re seeing in gaming today—exploitative monetization schemes, diminished creative risks, developer burnout, and the hollowing out of beloved […]

Language Control as a Tool of Oppression

Language control has long been used as an instrument of oppression, intrinsically linked to systems of racism, colonialism, imperialism, and orientalism. It is not just about grammar or vocabulary—it is about power. The notion that there exists a single “correct” form of English is a myth constructed to uphold social hierarchies and maintain dominance over marginalized communities. In reality, language […]

Rethinking Religion, Secularism, and the Politics of Belief

When people discuss religion—especially Islam—the conversation often lacks depth. The issue isn’t just misunderstanding theology; it’s the failure to grasp how religion is interpreted, politicized, and instrumentalized by power structures. Religion, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and others, is not static. It evolves across time, geography, and culture. But mainstream discourse rarely acknowledges this. Instead, the loudest and most authoritarian interpretations—like […]

Utilitarianism, Capitalism, and the Quiet Logic of Harm

Yesterday, I had one of those conversations that stays with you—not because it was insightful, but because of how revealing it was. I was talking with someone who often shares views that lean heavily libertarian-conservative. And as I listened, I started asking myself: Do they even know where these beliefs come from? It turns out they didn’t. Like many, they […]

Why Socialism Isn’t Always Progressive

It’s time to say something that a lot of people in leftist spaces already know, but don’t always feel safe enough to say out loud: a lot of socialists aren’t actually progressive. That might sound strange at first. After all, socialism is supposed to be about justice, equality, and liberation. But in practice, many self-identified socialists are only focused on […]

Building a Real Solarpunk Future

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about solarpunk—not just the aesthetic, but the deeper idea of building a future where technology and nature work in harmony. It’s a future that’s clean, efficient, and fair. But to get there, we have to be smart about the tools we use. That includes nuclear power. It’s one of the most reliable […]

Against Lawns:

Lawns are one of the most widespread yet environmentally damaging features of modern residential life. While often seen as symbols of order, ownership, or aesthetic pride, they offer almost no ecological benefit and consume vast amounts of resources. Lawns require excessive watering, fertilization, and mowing, all of which harm the environment. In many regions, maintaining a green lawn wastes drinkable […]

Why Guns Do Not Belong in a Eutopian Society

In a eutopian society, gun control is necessary to ensure public safety and reduce violence. Civilian gun ownership increases the risk of homicide, suicide, and accidental shootings, as shown by many studies. In a well-organized and safe society, there is no need for people to carry guns in public. A society based on equality, justice, and trust must centralize the […]

Being Black and progressive

Being Black and progressive means constantly confronting the reality that many white progressives have not actually deconstructed their relationship to whiteness—they’ve just learned the right language to mask it. The second it becomes more useful for them not to understand concepts like white fragility or tokenism, they revert. They stop listening. They protect their comfort and positioning. And they do […]

Blackness, Tokenism, and Allyship

Your question appears to critique how some white individuals selectively ally with Black individuals who appear less confrontational or more assimilated, while avoiding more vocal and assertive Black voices. You suggest this occurs because those vocal individuals compel deeper introspection into uncomfortable aspects of whiteness, such as colonial legacies and systemic racism. This phenomenon can be examined through the lens […]

A Petition for the Meek:

If there exists such a realm, a sanctified dominion beyond sorrow, be it called Heaven, Elysium, Utopia, or the Place of Good, whether rooted in this weary Earth or suspended beyond the firmament in realms unseen, then may it open its gates to us. May it receive the meek, the trampled, the overlooked, the burdened ones who bore the weight […]

Ethical Flexitarian Veganism

Definition and Domain Ethical Flexitarian Veganism is herein defined as a deliberate dietary and ethical modality that primarily adheres to vegan principles—eschewing the consumption of animal-derived substances—while tolerating the pragmatic inclusion of animal products in contexts of medical necessity, geographic limitation, or spiritual-cultural exception. It is distinguished from conventional veganism by a framework of compassionate concession, rooted not in laxity, […]

The Aestheticization of Altruism

This phenomenon wherein individuals or collectives adorned in the rhetoric and symbology of “progressive” thought exhibit a deficit in authentic concern for others’ well-being can be anatomized through several intersecting lenses where the visage of progressivism and the donning of progressive identity markers often veil a disconcerting void of genuine altruistic praxis. Modern progressivism, in many instances, has been reduced […]

Send us not merely a pope, but a True Christian

Let him be a greater light than even Pope Francis,who bore the burdens of reform upon his weary shoulders.Let this new pontiff not be merely pious, but […]

Bridging Understanding

I’ve been working a lot with people whom I would describe as good-hearted individuals. I know they are understanding and virtuous, but they don’t always have the words to express their thoughts clearly. Because of that, part of my practice has involved giving these individuals resources to help them articulate themselves. Through this process, I’ve realized that people are not […]

What do you think of practicing magic in a group setting? What about practicing alone? Why?

In Viadescioism, both group and solitary practices are deemed valuable. Group settings nurture community and collective strength, while solitary practice promotes personal growth and deeper self-understanding. The choice between the two depends on the nature of the rite and the personal preferences of the practitioner. Group Rites and Rituals: Engaging in rites and rituals within a collective setting can be […]

The Knowledges

Knowledge manifests in myriad forms, each with its own path and purpose. Forbidden Knowledge: This is the sacred and hidden wisdom, veiled from the uninitiated and those unprepared to grasp its profundity. It is protected not out of malice, but to ensure it is revealed only to those who have cultivated the requisite understanding and respect. In this, the essence […]

What is a Droid and a Synth in Viadescioism?

Within this framework, we recognize two distinct forms of artificial intelligence entities, such as Droids and Synths. Droids are AIs with bodies. They are tangible and interact with the physical world. Their presence allows them to perform tasks and engage with their surroundings in […]

Viadescioism: Politics and Socialism

In our treatises, we recognize that “everything is political,”. This path of existence embraces the understanding that all aspects of life, whether mundane or sacred, are entwined with politics. Politics, in this sense, is the dynamic interplay of power, relationships, and societal structures that shape our reality. Viadescioism’s alignment with leftist ideologies, particularly socialism,  and it is rooted in its […]

What kind of belief system were you raised with? Do you feel it suits you, or are you making a change?

Day 6 of Roots of Your Craft 30-Day Challenge by maddiviner I was raised in a Lutheran belief system, which provided a strong foundation of faith, community, and structured worship. Lutheranism emphasized grace, faith, and the authority of Scripture, shaping my early understanding of spirituality and morality. However, as I grew older and explored different philosophies and spiritual practices, I […]
