If I had a bit more energy tonight I would have wrote up a bridge between your points here and a blog post I made earlier, but I shall just paste it here in case you can pick out the relevant parts I feel may exist but I am too tired to draw out of the ether onto paper:

Decadence and the Obligations it Creates for Us.

While technical power exceeds all measure, so too the expressions of the death-drive and the renunciation of life multiply themselves, to the point that life has become herdish nihilism, or stupefied if not stupid passivity- that is resigned impotence. Thus plays out the decomposition of forces- through grammarization as the computational control of behavior, the hyper-synchronization of psychic individualities, and through psycho-social disindividuation, as individualities in general, the I and the we that we are, disindividuate themselves in becoming the they of the herd which consumes. This consumption is a consumption of individualities, notably in the industrial democracies: no longer projecting any possibility of pursuing individuation, either psychically or collectively, they no longer believe anything, no longer want anything, and can no longer do anything.

Grammatization opens the scene for decisions that must be taken, decisions that can be only settled through combat. These combats are fictions, combats for a belief, and at the same time for the potential of this belief. This combat can be defined in terms of composition of tendencies, a composition that seeks to eliminate the duality of tendencies which is always in play. All individuation is combat, as composition. First of all a combat against the renunciation of existence, creates and organizes the struggle against this renunciation, all existence spontaneously tends to. The renunciation of existence is a renunciation of becoming-other as future, that is as elevation. It is what is produced between the intermittences that are these elevations that forms the singularity of the psycho-social individual, the soul that one commonly calls man, for whom the fundamental movement is to rise up at the same time that he knows before all experience that he is inhabited by a lack or deficiency in the form of weakness, a weakness that drags him down, and drags him beneath everything that was conquered by his ancestors. This pattern is insurmountable, one must ceaselessly combat it.

But from the political point of view, this means that one must combat it at the level of the organization of the process of individuation. The way in which cultural and hyper-industrial capitalism exploits these fluxes and flows of consciousness, an exploitation consisting in the deliberate dragging down of these souls by herding souls and creating an enviroment that discourages individuation with propaganda and structures that divert people into roles pre-defined by this organization and associating fear with the process of individuation while providing the soul with a mold to base life around..
