triptronica

A music genre starting in the 2010s and then throughout the 20s and 30s, increasingly influenced by 60s folk music, 80s hiphop and quick tempo acid electronica (often with Spanish and Arab slang), spread mostly through the alternet. The music became a vehicle to distribute a positivist message of social change as a stance against tyrannical theocratic oppression of the traditional unimetric politico-economies of the northern hemisphere.

Topics often included the illegitimacy of forced military draft in Canada, US and Eurozone; mass emigrations into Latin America; the implosion of the IMF; corporate WW3 profiteering; maoist revivals in China; anti-spirituality; egalitarian netocracy; and the virtues of atheist asceticism as a personal strategy to weather societal collapse.

Dack first heard it in the US Army fighting the democrat resistance in Houston. The city had completely collapsed and they were sent in as peacekeepers to enforce curfew. The music was contraband but he didn't know why. If he was caught, he'd be executed. So why did he wanna listen so bad? He snuck away carefully to a good hiding place to play it on his rusty iphone that he traded some car batteries for to a poor family in the Toronto shanties. As it played through his dusty earphones his mind blew open, his eyes swelled up with tears of conscience. What war was he fighting anymore? They called it triptronica.

deadnet

The term used to refer to the corrupt corporatized internet used till the 2020s before its "death" at the hands of the general global revolt against all forms of socio-economic, religious and political corruption. The internet increasingly came to be seen as a tool of government indoctrination, increasingly distrusted. Rebel techs began experimenting with peer-to-peer technologies to create a decentralized system of information exchange over large regions.

Eventually these competing internet systems were synched up into a single collective-managed standard known as the Alternet. Once the stateless Alternet system went global, a new politico-economy was forged to effect DIRECT DEMOCRACY.

This finally abolished the oppressive one-metric capitalist and socialist systems of old, both of which benefited only an unseen global elite. It also did away with the ineffectual political system that employed middlemen know as "politicians" to represent people only indirectly. It was by this point then that sociopathy could finally be isolated and treated early instead of allowing the few to cause mass suffering on the many. The purging of this large-scale corruption finally cultivated massive innovation in ecological management which if left unchecked would have ruined the planet's ability to support most forms of life including our own.

The term also alludes to the global holocaust of the poor during the height of the system, at its downfall and during the societal chaos that ensued.

I can't believe people in the turn of the century put so much blind trust in the Deadnet in the days of corporatism. How did it get so bad? I'm glad we made it.

digiMao

The term digiMao (use it as a verb, noun or adjective) is a NewSpeak abbreviation for "digital maoism", whose followers believe that the people's majority can and should decide what reality is.

Sometimes ironically confused with the digiMao term "Web 2.0", the most fertile examples of this subtle populist, pseudo-democratic, anti-individualist brainsnatching are the Wikipedia, IRC, and Second Life (aka "IRC 2.0") which require the involvement of the masses to make it something more than it can never be. These online mobs of fascism define their own rules, no matter how nutjob, and eventually obsess over weeding out the brightest and least disconnected from reality so that the most insecure can feel superior in their newly founded universe.

"This Wikipedia article is so digiMao."
"Omg, the café staff digiMaoed me out of the restaurant yesterday for keeping it real."
"I'm so tired of digiMao, neocommie borg wannabes pretending that their words mean something."

panocracy

A collectivist system of government of the latter half of the 21st century built on the principles of direct democracy without any need for state, established globally upon a peer-to-peer internet system (aka alternet).

Traditional "voting" is replaced by direct participation in multimetrics trade and votes are tallied locally rather than through a centralized organization which is often prone to corruption.

Panocracy transcends the unimetric capito-socialist economies and oligarchical lies of the turn of the century to build a healthier, more just society.

Toba

Short for "Manitoba", one of the five "forgotten provinces" of Canada (others being PEI, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia). It can be used as a noun or adjective.

"I went back to Toba, my motherland, for the summer to visit my mennonite cousins. Still nothing there but moose and goths. But at least they have booze and I got totally shit-plastered."
