Illusory Progress โ Day 38: The Grand Summary ๐
This was the series
Over the past days we examined several sacred cows:
Leasing โ you own nothing, you just lease
Heat pumps โ expensive, complex dependence with a green coat
Electric cars โ trading oil dependence for battery and grid dependence
The 15-minute city โ locking your life into a small, controlled box
Everything as a subscription โ you become a paying user instead of an owner
Cashless society โ total traceability and programmable money
Feminism โ โliberationโ that led to lower birth rates and more pills
Youth care โ an industry that grows as it fails
Agriculture & nitrogen โ the systematic destruction of the farming class
Small businesses during and after corona โ the largest destruction of independent entrepreneurs in decades
The pattern is crystal clear
The same recipe every single time:
Create or exaggerate a problem (nitrogen, corona, climate, inclusivity)
Offer a solution that is more complex, more expensive, and makes people more dependent
Eliminate independent people (farmers, shopkeepers, hospitality, self-employed)
Centralize power with government, banks and big corporations
Criminalize criticism as โfar-rightโ, โconspiracy theoristโ or โdanger to democracyโ
The ultimate proof
During corona, small shops, restaurants and self-employed people were destroyed by lockdowns, while big chains and webshops flourished.
Now farmers are being targeted through nitrogen rules.
The pattern is identical: independent, self-reliant people are systematically eliminated.
Both farmers and small business owners are too stubborn, too productive, and not dependent enough on the state. That must be broken. Exactly what dictators have always done throughout history: first destroy the farmers and the middle class.
The OIM Way Out
We are not participating in this system.
We are building in parallel:
Ownership instead of subscriptions
Decentralization instead of centralization
Verifiability instead of blind trust
Local, small structures instead of vulnerable mega-systems
Real freedom instead of engineered dependence
The series is finished, but the real work is only just beginning.
We continue.
Not by complaining about the system,
but by building a better alternative.
You may have noticed that our posts look cleaner on Facebook lately. Thatโs thanks to the new Nexus Quick Post tool we built.

Question to you
Do you see the pattern?
And more importantly: are you going to help build something better?
