UK: A Working Class Experience of Alien Abduction! (18.11.2025)

The capitalist will say (and do) anything that justifies the endless accumulation of profit. To this end, the emphasis of individualism is vital – as it is through this loss of collective identity that humanity learns to routinely brutalise its own existence and being. Inflicting pain and harvesting gain is the only permitted exchange which locks out all other modes of possible interaction. Love becomes a limited commodity which can be bought for a short time period before the clock runs out and its flow dries up.

09-02-2025 YouTube Music Badge
I only have one Tiësto and three Sgt. Slick songs in my current playlist, but I’ve earned the “Top Listener of Tiësto” badge for the second month in a row. It’s rigged! 😿

This isn’t collapse. It’s choreography. The drowning is designed.

Dancing While the Dollar Depreciates
Feels appropriate to drop some remixes to go along with the Reagan era remix—Stephen Miran’s nomination to the Federal Reserve Board is just the latest track in a long playlist of dollar devaluation, austerity for the rest of us, and profits for the usual suspects. Still waiting on a proper critique from economists like Michael Roberts or Michael Hudson, but from what I’ve gathered so far, the “Miran Doctrine” is collapse choreography: pain for the working class, leverage for capital.
Marx saw this coming: the ruling class conjures up the ghosts of past ideologies to mask present-day extraction.
So here’s this DJ set of Madonna remixes—because I need an escape, and maybe you do too.
Personal: YouTube Music Badge for July
I had my sights set on Sgt Slick this month—three of his recuts were holding court at the top of my playlist. But YouTube Music had other plans. July’s badge goes to Tiësto, courtesy of a few late-night loops of The Business.

Remixes
Mentol’s worked with Dj Dark, before. They’re both from Romania. I don’t remember how I came across him. It was probably from looking for a remix of the following song. He always replies to my comments on YouTube.
Another artist that I like is NG (Native Guest), from Serbia. I made a YouTube playlist of her remixes, a while back.
Ronin Mode is another one that I like. He’s done remixes of Nine Inch Nails and quite a few other faves of mine. Ronin Mode is in California, I believe. He actually follows me on Twitter.
I like these artists because they do remixes of old songs that I used to listen to.
Fun fact, some of my favorite singers are from Albania.
