System Override

When Geeks Crown a King

Seems Democracy being doxxed.
System chock-full of bugs. Too much emotion.
Democracy only malware.

Brother Yarv offers a patch.
The fix? Monarchy 2.0.
Dark Enlightenment.
Install despotism. Update regularly.

Turns out, geeks want a king.
No popular votes. Just a king.
A real king? Naw.
Just one with full admin rights.

Lopsided crown. Fuelled by caffeine and code.
Top dog of it all. Oversees impenetrable firewalls.
Full protection. Against freedom.

Tech bros hate the old “cathedral”.
Seems mostly about mind control.
Press. Professors. Bureaucrats.
The old high priests.
Preaching evolution. Selling docility.
Not a debate. Just constant update.

Now Neo-Reactionary movement stirs. NRx.
Proclaims a new enlightenment.
Very dark. Tallied by spreadsheets.
The new aristocracy. Selection by IQ points.

Urbit platform the ark.
The server for saviors.
Ongoing data flows. Ethics be damned.
Pure root access matters.

Exit the nation. Construct server-dominions.
Liberty with subscription pricing. Login only.
Monthly tyranny. Cancel anytime.
Tech bros fear voting.
Fear poor people. Fear feelings.

Vultures bankroll the sermon.
Dark money. Tech prophets. Silken fascism.
Democracy renders a rash.
Protection? Debug reality.

Bureaucrats scoff. Billionaires attentive.
Democracy futile. Just doesn’t scale.
Prefer a clean OS.
Single ruler. No surprise pop-ups.
Control-Alt-King mode eternally.

Monarchs do get bugs.
Power corrupts software. Always.
Freedom dies. Rarely tracks update history.
As usual… No one reads the terms.
Final update? Still pending.
