Logomachy
This piece of work examines the phenomenon of logomachy, a systemic war of words that defines the political, social, and ontological structure of Eurostate. Emerging from the aftermath of the First World War’s philosophical legacy and culminating in the trauma-engineered governance of post-pandemic Europe, logomachy represents a transformation of conflict from material warfare to semantic combat. Words in Eurostate are not merely communicative tools but material forces capable of producing injury, reputation loss, death, and institutional transformation.
Through analysis of the Treaty of 1919, the collapse of nation-states during the coronavirus pandemic, and the subsequent formation of Eurostate, this dissertation argues that language has become the primary mechanism of power. Reputation functions as biological currency, while speech acts produce measurable physical and social consequences. Institutions such as Conglomerate Socials, the Absolute Individual Premier, the Court of Arms, and the ARMY demonstrate how governance operates through control of meaning rather than territory.
Furthermore, the prohibition of love, the criminalization of permanent relationships, and the fragmentation of meaning represent deliberate strategies of emotional engineering intended to stabilize a traumatized society. The resulting system distributes suffering across social classes—normies, wordsmiths, gunslingers, detectives, actors, and statesmen—ensuring systemic equilibrium.
Ultimately, this work proposes that Eurostate represents a post-human semantic ecosystem, in which meaning itself becomes the battlefield and language evolves into the most potent weapon humanity has ever created.
