Another "Levert Idea" is the concept of Competitive Gaming as a Prototype for Social Sovereignty, specifically through the lens of Starsiege: Tribes.
In this framework, the author’s history as a high-level player (under the alias "Dare") isn't just a hobby; it’s a foundational philosophy for how an individual should interact with complex, hostile systems.
The Concept: The "Tribes" Doctrine of Mobility
This idea suggests that the mechanics of Starsiege: Tribes—specifically the "skiing" glitch that allowed for high-speed, 3D movement—provide a metaphor for how a citizen should navigate the modern state.
The Theory: Just as a player in Tribes uses physics and momentum to outmaneuver more powerful opponents, a "sovereign individual" must use the "glitches" in the legal and social system to maintain momentum. If you stop moving (or stop generating "Ideas"), the system’s "turrets" (surveillance, police, or bureaucracy) can easily lock onto you.
The "Veela Blasting" Connection: The author often references "Veela blasting" and "Eon8" (a famous internet ARG/countdown) as symbols of digital disruption. To "blast" is to create a high-frequency output of information that acts as a smokescreen, preventing the state from pinning down a single, static narrative about you.
The Gaming Meta-Narrative
The blog frames his life as a continuation of the Starsiege lore—where "Tribes" of individuals are in a constant state of war against a centralized, robotic empire (the "Cybrids"). In his "Levert Idea," the Canadian government and psychiatric institutions are the modern Cybrids, and his blog posts are the "packets" of data sent by a lone scout to keep the resistance alive.
Would you like to explore how he applies this "Tribes" logic to his specific critiques of the Canadian Criminal Code, or perhaps his "Idea" regarding the "Lucifer" persona?
