A Mutant Manifesto

22d: Akira Volumes 5-6--Disaster, Anarchy, Autonomy, and Leadership

09 Jan 2025

Description

The conclusion to our 4-part Akira series. Akira manga analysis and summary; what happens at the end of akira? Memories as karma at the end of life; what motivates powerful people to dominate others; is leadership necessary? Are autonomous zones feasible in 2025? In the wake of apocalypse, who is left behind? What makes a monster? Tetsuo as a power-seeking monster cyborg and what it means to make monstrous; apocalyptic rapture and who gets left behind music: Kamaal Williams, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, bod, Phoebe Isobel, Drogas, Losty, Kaho Matsui instagram.com/amutantmanifesto Sometimes it feels like something went wrong and that’s why we’re here, that we’re in some kind of cosmic cage or simulated psy-op. We become in the face of simulations and psy-ops, and from wrongness spring. syncretism is for the honorable and dishonorable alike.  In thought and in body, no one, not two, in sky and seed sewn, we dream up shadows to love through and hold their calloused hands, shaping change in the nether pool from breath to breath and coming up again and again seeking vistas of freedom. We embody a haunted perspective and witness the chaos from above.  The mutant spirit still lives among us! Learn from the labyrinths in breathing mountains.  How do you look and where are you looking?  Note when you’re stuck, put sugar on your tradition-pills, and record before breaking. How’s that feel to rot with glee--to decay with me? Like the process of radioactive decay in unstable atoms, degeneration yields a more sustainable nature.
