Hype for the Future 66D: Political Activism

Preamble

The professional goal of novaTopFlex is to become a political activist and reformer, advocating for a better and more communal life for all and redefining the terms of professionalism in society to benefit the people, rather than the unethical profits of shareholders. Capitalism is a crisis, and novaTopFlex aspires to ensure that society reforms in a manner hostile to the capitalist cause, to the greatest extent possible. The following examples to be discussed within the scope of the article shall refer to the distinct interpretations of preferences for—and toward—societal change:

Introduction

novaTopFlex is unfortunately living in a time in which the majority of the population is forced to live paycheck to paycheck, because capitalism is a crisis and privatization is harmful and detrimental to civilization at large. Degrowth is one of the only tools society can reasonably utilize to create a more ethical planet and community, but unfortunately, the resulting pushback can be highly inevitable. Therefore, the Three Identities shall represent a newfound experience and promote socialist values, redefining the entire economy to resist privatization and to promote the common good.

Values

The following bullet points represent the most notable values associated with novaTopFlex:

• Capitalism is a crisis, causing the societal failures identified by marketing, networking, siloing, false metrics of productivity, and privatization, all of which are either crises themselves or symptoms of such crises.
• Individualism is a manifestation of the common failures in modern society. Only collectivism can resolve most societal problems, and business and corporate arrangements are overly performative and not communally sustainable.
• Privatization is the reason people are highly lonely. Loneliness is caused by the “nuclear family,” heteronormativity, and the enforcement of outdated gender roles.
• For a software package to be labeled “ethical,” the package must be free/libre and open-source, thus allowing collective usage and selflessness with impersonal responsibility. The overemphasis on personal responsibility in modern society is at the root of the stressful lifestyles enforced onto society.
• Gentrification is a crisis, enforcing heteronormativity and conformity by pricing out nontraditional bonds and continuing to stigmatize the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer/questioning, intersex, and aromantic/asexual (aroace) (LGBTQIA+) communities.

Travel Plans and Influences

Preamble

Unfortunately, I have recently been enraged at my lack of connections across town, county, and state lines. While I have always wished to make such connections across the nation, dependent on the values in question, I remain unable to create new connections across state lines. Over the past few years, my travel plans have been influenced by my beliefs on ethics and societal expectations, which I continue to support in a futuristic matter.

The Actual Plans

Ideally, my travel plans, as a U.S. citizen, would largely remain domestic, though I may also consider international travel depending on the circumstances, ideally focusing on Western and Northern Europe. Other nations in my ideal plan include Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Within the United States, my travel plans would largely remain across the Northeastern states, including all six New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut), New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, for ideological reasons. Connections to the Great Lakes region and select locations in the Pacific Northwest, even emotionally, may influence my truthful ideals in my travel plan.
