Lore: Ministry of Truth
Ali’s job at the ministry of truth is simple, redundant, but not unimportant. Ali oversees the Interplanetary Union’s algorithmic surveillance of all legal communication channels. It is redundant because it could easily be automated, but a conservative faction within the IU senate feels that humans must preserve the dignity of work.
“Not that those wankers have ever worked a day in their lives,” thought Ali.
But the job did at least, Ali believed, serve a purpose. If the communication, and lies, of the pirates was not interrupted, and the pirates not properly disciplined, the IU wouldn’t be able to safeguard a rules-based liberal order. Pirates wreaked absolute havock on IU trade.
Today, just as everything seemed so normal, the algorithm spat out a very unique alert. Ali followed the link to a strange (VR) library. There was no way that he could delete this, of course. The library was decentralized. Ali’s job was simply to close off all links to it from the legal, IU-approved metaverse. But Ali was most intrigued, so he took a memory photograph of the library’s QR-code.
At home, Ali sat in a corner out of view, he believed, from any passing IU drones. This is where he always sat when wearing his pirate headset. Ali only ever used the pirate headset for the same reason that he bought it in high-school. He liked to indulge in hectic pornography. Today, though, he needed the open-source, decentralized, and encrypted pirate tech to log into toldandretold — a strange online wiki-library, where any reader could submit, edit, or add to any text. Ali’s attention was drawn to what seemed like the oldest book in the library. It was originally written by one @Ant-alien_Gramsci, and was called “The Prison Notebooks”:
Preface:
Not much is known about the real @Ant-alien_Gramsci. They were, according to all available IU data, originally an anonymous shitposter on instagram. Ant-alien posted memes about the Italian Revolutionary Gramsci, aliens, and cats. If The Prison Notebooks are to be believed, Ant-alien was locked up by the IU gestapo for revolutionary activity. It is widely accepted by pirates that ant-alien was responsible for achieving the first human contact with aliens. Ant-alien, or so the story goes, was able to get sufficient supplies of lithium-batteries, AI computers, and rudimentary alien 3D printers. This helped build the first fleet of pirate ships. While basic compared to today’s technology, this was more advanced than the human fleets of the time. It allowed the O.G pirates to form an outpost on the CX69 asteroid belt, where pirates still source lithium today. This provides pirates with much cheaper and efficient space travel than the IU, which pays exorbitant prices for its lithium rations to the Tesla corporation, or relies on PU-238.
Despite the allegedly horrific conditions of the IU prison, Ant-alien’s focus was on writing a detailed historical materialist analysis not just of the IU — and the need to build a pirate party — but of the totality of universal political economy.
Ali felt rather naughty reading all this. It excited him no end. But there wasn’t much time left before the IU drones detected that he hadn’t been detected for a while. There was barely enough time left to wank. Ali:
(a) closed the book so he could enjoy some dank alien pornography.
(b) kept reading illegal pirate propaganda.
