On Google Killing 400,000 Trees To Build Data Centers In Finland That's how things work under capitalism. The law primarily exists not to protect people or the environment, but to protect the interests of capital. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/on-google-...

There are Polymarket ads in fortune cookies. There are pop-ups in our prayers. There are paywalls on the monasteries, and the monks are millionaires. Well little Johnny’s gone to war. He joined the McMarines. The Iranians must be liberated and blown to smithereens. ...

The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Preparing Another Iran Attack "So I guess this is happening. Another brazen assault in an evil war of aggression that makes life harder for people all around the world. The US empire must end." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-trumpa...

I Love You Guys "I love this weird little community I get to interact with on a daily basis, sharing ideas, art and poetry about news, politics and spirituality with whomever happens to feel inspired by them." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/i-love-you...

Anthropic Would Kill 50 Humans To Roll Out The Next AI Model "In the opinion of Anthropic executives, it would be worth killing exactly 50 humans to roll out the next AI model, but anything more than 50 would be a tad excessive." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/anthropic-...

All Our Problems Are Caused By Believed Narrative The consciousness of the average human is dominated by mental stories, so if you can control the mental stories the average humans are telling themselves, then you can control the humans. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/all-our-pr...

Military-Industrial Complex Assures Investors That Wars Will Be Endless Asked about concerns over falling defense stocks on CNBC, Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet replied, “Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it’s permanent.” www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/military-i...

ALL Art Is Political When You Live In A Genocidal Dystopia During a speech at the Las Vegas Sphere, Metallica frontman James Hetfield took aim at artists like Macklemore for making political statements about the genocide in Gaza during their concerts. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/all-art-is...

Every month I publish print and ebook compilations of my work. This one is titled "Tech Plutocrats Will Not Lead Us Into A Healthy Future" and features a painting I did of Jeff Bezos. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/new-issue-...

Using AI Instead Of Writing Turns Your Brain Into Cheez Whiz Writing is thinking. Writing is the practice of sorting through the flotsam and jetsam of your own consciousness and transforming your thoughts and feelings into coherent, logical expression. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/using-ai-i...

When The Gates Of Tech Dystopia Snap Shut "We’ve been standing around munching on our bait, enjoying our bread and our circuses, blissfully unaware of the trapper who is patiently waiting for the perfect moment to slam the gate shut on us all." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/when-the-g...

If The Truth Is A Threat To Israel, Then Israel Should Not Exist The prime minister is claiming the truth causes “harm to Israel’s diplomatic and security interests” because Israel is a state that can only exist on a foundation of endless lies. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/if-the-tru...

Advanced Technology Will Not Save Us "The plot hole in techno-utopianism is that technologies don’t emerge in a vacuum: they are always controlled by somebody, and those somebodies always wind up being the people who control everything else." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/advanced-t...

They're Setting Up AI Surveillance To "De-Radicalize" Classrooms In Gaza Take a good look, ladies and gentlemen, because this is what they’ve got planned for the rest of us as well. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theyre-set...

No One Gives A Fuck About October 7 No one cares. They used to, but then Israel spent three years showing the world why October 7 happened in the first place. After witnessing the cruelty and savagery of the state of Israel, people get it now. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/no-one-giv...

You Are Morally Obligated To Oppose Genocide And Apartheid Regardless Of Your Religion www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/you-are-mo...

I refuse to even think about claims that chatbots are conscious beings whose rights must be protected until I live in a society where all humans are treated as conscious beings whose rights must be protected.

Zionism Is OBVIOUSLY A Racist Ideology "Zionism is what it does. And what it does is visible to the entire world." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/zionism-is...

They’re Still Trying To Rehab Biden’s Genocidal Image "Stop. He’s a genocidal monster. That’s his only legacy. End of story." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theyre-sti...

Meditations On The Botched Execution Of Christa Pike "They stuck the prisoner full of seven different syringes, but she didn’t die. She just experienced extreme suffering, minute after excruciating minute, before eventually losing consciousness." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/meditation...

Being Forcefully Pro-Palestine Weeds The Terrible People Out Of Your Life It’s like spraying yourself with asshole repellant. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/being-forc...

Saying You Listen To AI Music Is Like Saying You Have An AI Girlfriend "When you’re talking about human interaction, which is what art is at its very nature, it absolutely does matter if there’s someone on the other end of it." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/saying-you...

AI Won't Solve Humanity's Problems Because Our Problems Aren't Caused By Lack Of Intelligence "Humanity’s problems are not caused by a lack of intelligence, our problems are caused by greedy plutocrats like Zuckerberg." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/ai-wont-so...

Be Kind To Your Adult Children Or They'll Stop Talking To You The Wall Street Journal has a new article out titled “Why Are So Many Adults Cutting Off Their Parents?” about the rising levels of family estrangement in our society. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/be-kind-to...

Empire psychosis keeps us in a constant state of distraction and escapism, always scrambling to avoid the here and now like we’re trying to climb out of our own skins. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/empire-psy...

Tech Plutocrats Cannot Lead Us Into A Healthy Future "It’s just a bunch of drugged-up rich guys using their vast fortunes to chart a course for our species that would sound totally awesome to the average preadolescent boy." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/tech-pluto...

Being aggressively pro-Palestine is the most efficient way to weed all the worst people out of your life.

Under Capitalism It's Legal For Employers To Steal From Employees "So all Doordash has to do is return the money it stole and pay a microscopic fraction of its $13.7 billion yearly revenue in penalties, and that’s it." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/under-capi...

I strongly disagree with the idea that it’s unhelpful to bully celebrities about their position on Palestine. On the contrary, I think we should bully them more. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-good-t...

Under capitalism if you steal from your employer you go to jail but if your employer steals from you then you need to win a class action lawsuit to get back what they stole, and they suffer zero consequences. Capitalism is all about using state power to protect capital by force.

The Real Danger Of AI Is That It Is Run By Evil Warmongers The most obvious and imminent threat right now is not that artificial intelligence will outsmart us and escape our control, it’s that it is being fully controlled by humans who are stupid and evil. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-real-d...

Some Words About This Whole Caitlin Johnstone Project Every so often I like to write out an explanation of who I am and what I’m trying to do here, for the benefit of new followers and for my own mental clarity. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/some-words...

I Still Believe Humanity Is Headed For A Mass Awakening The human potential for spiritual enlightenment has long been an unaddressed elephant in the room in our estimations of what we can achieve as a species. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/i-still-be...

The reason everyone stopped caring about October 7 is because Israel just spent three years showing the world all the murderousness, sadism and racism which caused October 7 to happen.

Assange Returns To Public Commentary, And Other Notes "Not everyone will remember it but there was a time when this was almost impossible to imagine." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/assange-re...

Mike Huckabee Is The Most Evil Person In The Trump Administration "This is a Trump-appointed US government official knowingly lying to the public so they will continue to support Israel’s US-backed abuses of the Palestinian people." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/mike-hucka...

Debunking The Claim That Macklemore Has A “History Of Antisemitism” People who defend Israel’s actions in Gaza consistently act in bad faith. Of course they do. They support genocide. They’re bad people. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/debunking-...

Macklemore's Tour Cancellation Shows Why Celebrities Don't Criticize Israel www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/macklemore...

Macklemore: Genocide is bad. Ed Sheeran: Hey some people find those words very hurtful.

“Why aren’t more artists speaking out about Gaza?” This is why. The rich and powerful will torch your whole career if you utter any criticism of the state of Israel.

Western Civilization Is A Phony Pop Star Our society isn’t what it pretends to be. Our civilization sustains itself through an endless river of blood, sweat and tears from the global south while making movies about fighting for justice and saving the world. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/western-ci...

No, We're Not Having The "It's Not Genocide" Conversation Anymore It’s so undignified how Zionists keep trying to resurrect the “stop calling it a genocide” conversation about Gaza when every relevant human rights group on earth says that’s exactly what it is. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/no-were-no...

There's No Good Reason Why Poverty Should Still Exist We have more than enough resources to care for everyone, if we would only redesign our systems to advance the interests of humanity over the interests of capital. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theres-no-...
