A great read. I'm very much looking forward to part 3, specifically your thoughts on how we get out of this mess. The system is first and foremost designed to not be changed by non-lanyard wearers.
You will discuss Ideological State Apparatuses. Louis Althusser is very out of fashion, indeed a Damned theorist, mainly because he murdered his wife. (Therefore you must be a misogynist and not to be taken seriously, it says here in my Verified Database of Correct Views.)
Lanyardistas are essentially Computer Says No lumpenbourgeoisie State Welfare recipients. Last to go when the technocracies are fully ticking over, knocking up Trans History Month slides on Canva for the interim.
"The lanyard class makes access to employment and to state services conditional on the acceptance, tacit or explicit, of the mandatory belief system of the liberal-global political economy."
I first experienced the threat of this circa 2009, when a young Vietnamese engineer, a co-worker, at the behest of our employer lectured us all, in an email, on "white privilege". I had never heard the term before but I knew immediately, and instinctively, that it was an assault on me and my whole history.
Only two of the recipients (Including me 🙂) replied in no uncertain terms what he, they, could do with their indoctrination.
Oh my, I love this and indeed was once of the Lanyard class myself (before my conversion)!

It is an example of applied technique - to make permanent an agenda for which no one voted, but which many are made to believe is simply "normal".
For reasons of omnicrisis this model is going out of business. What a time to be alive.

Totally agree and how depressing can humans be to have such low horizons. That exemplifies "THE HIVE MIND" in my opinion.
Dear Mr. Wright, (Mr. Right, too!
Thank you so very much. You are so right on this.

The Lanyard class can bugger off.
They need to grow up and engage with what is left of their brain, otherwise the hive mind translates into ZOMBIE.
