"Force and violence are the ultimate sanction. When a major social conflict cannot be resolved through compromise, the issue is settled by physical force or the threat of it. As I argued in 'Industrial Society and Its Future', if we try to compromise with technology we play a losing game. The system never is and never will be satisfied with any stable situation - it seeks always to expand its power and will never permanently tolerate anything that remains outside of its control. Thus the conflict between us and the system is irreconcilable and in the end can be resolved only through physical force".

"The System needs an orderly, docile, cooperative, passive, dependent population. Above all it requires a nonviolent population, since it needs the government to have a monopoly on the use of physical force. For this reason, integration propaganda has to teach us to be horrified, frightened, and appalled by violence, so that we will not be tempted to use it even when we are very angry. (By "violence" I mean physical attacks on human beings.) More generally, integration propaganda has to teach us soft, cuddly values that emphasize nonaggressiveness, interdependence, and cooperation.
On the other hand, in certain contexts the System itself finds it useful or necessary to resort to brutal, aggressive methods to achieve its own objectives. The most obvious example of such methods is warfare. In wartime the System relies on agitation propaganda: In order to win public approval of military action, it plays on people's emotions to make them feel frightened and angry at their real or supposed enemy.
In this situation there is a conflict between integration propaganda and agitation propaganda. Those people in whom the cuddly values and the aversion to violence have been most deeply planted can't easily be persuaded to approve a bloody military operation.
Here the System's trick backfires to some extent. The activists, who have been "rebelling" all along in favor of the values of integration propaganda, continue to do so during wartime. They oppose the war effort not only because it is violent but because it is "racist," "colonialist," "imperialist," etc., all of which are contrary to the soft, cuddly values taught by integration propaganda".

The system must collapse sooner rather than later so that much of the biosphere can be saved, whereas if it were to collapse later there will not be anything left of the biosphere to support life on earth.

"Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While itβs still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards".

"Technique has penetrated the deepest recesses of the human being. The machine tends not only to create a new human environment, but also to modify man's very essence. The milieu in which he lives is no longer his. He must adapt himself, as though the world were new, to a universe for which he was not created. He was made to go six kilometers an hour, and he goes a thousand. He was made to eat when he was hungry and to sleep when he was sleepy; instead, he obeys a clock. He was made to have contact with living things, and he lives in a world of stone. He was created with a certain essential unity, and he is fragmented by all the forces of the modern world".

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE?
It is not easy to speculate precisely what will happen in the near and distant future. Many great philosophers like Aldous Huxley or George Orwell have both made pretty good attempts at describing what the future holds for humanity in their most famous dystopian novels. Technology being the main culprit for the problems in society.
I believe civilization as we know it is going to collapse at one point in time. If you look at the historic timeline of mankind, you will quickly see that we have progressed exponentially, not in a straight line. I believe we are going to progress so fast that we are not going to be able to regulate the technological advancements happening.
We know that technology is self-propelling and is not easily contained, history is a great example. Technology itself is an autonomous entity that superseds our control. Technological systems are also known to develop their own logic, evolving beyond our comprehension. The system is making us subordinates to the technological systems which all in turn destabilizes society, leading to widespread psychological and physical suffering.
The human dependance on the system is going to become so high that it will heighten tensions and social instability, eventually causing a complete and utter breakdown when people become sufficiently disaffected to rebel against it. The collapse is inevitable.

"Many radicals fall into the temptation of focusing on non-essential issues like racism, sexism and sweatshops because it is easy. They pick an issue on which the system can afford a compromise and on which they will get support from people like Ralph Nader, Winona La Duke, the labor unions, and all the other pink reformers. Perhaps the system, under pressure, will back off a bit, the activists will see some visible result from their efforts, and they will have the satisfying illusion that they have accomplished something. But in reality they have accomplished nothing at all toward eliminating the techno-industrial system."

About the Charlie Kirk assassination
It is frankly concerning that suddenly when a well known personality is shot to death, suddenly the entire world is in tears and sorrow. People are hardwired to reject any kind of violence the system does not endorse, but when it comes to for example, geopolitical conflict, everyone picks their side. One could show the same amount of grief for millions of people living in absolute hellish conditions, like extreme poverty and war.
This is a great example of a society that mourns spectacle but ignore the real cries. The fake grief is an absolute theatre of a performance and it is pathetic.
