Jet Le Parti argues that digital culture has entered a state of "saturation," where critique, resistance, and identity are absorbed into platform systems before they fully emerge. Building on Debord, Baudrillard, Wark, and Fisher, he introduces Residualism and Exaptism as frameworks for understanding life after accelerationism, where survival depends on repurposing existing systems rather than escaping them.
