@ConceptualJames@CynicalPublius lol. James.
You know it’s gnostic. Yuri proved this to you. And you keep shifting and morphing your explanation as a cope to continue the gnostic grift.
Have some shame and a bit of humility and just admit you were wrong.
We all did. Why can’t you?
Making love to a woman only for her to wake in the dead of night to find me perched on her fire escape like a gargoyle and I whisper “Dont tell the world about my penis” before I extend my arms like the Crow and drop backwards, breaking every bone in my body on the pavement below
Oh yeah? You think you’re so smart dr lindsey?? Well why don’t you agree to meet me at the local playground and rape me then? THEN we’ll see how smart you are!
Of course, in the wake of this most recent attempt on Trump's life, the Woke Right is running with three of its most popular narratives again.
1) "They want us all dead"
2) "They have to be stopped with violence/force"
3) "We need a dictator"
These are Woke histrionics.
What these narratives represent is pathological (lit. "Pathos") emotional agitation. They aren't true, but they tweak emotions like fear, desperation, despair, anger, and righteous indignation. Thus, they are satisfying.
That is, they are cathartic, but, as always, we have a singular choice: catharsis or civilization.
We have to keep choosing civilization, and that requires continuing to choose a calmer head and a less gratifying but more successful path.
Of course, these narratives are presented as if they're coming from a place of savvy and knowledge. These are erudite students of history who couldn't win a bar fight with a teenager, but they know all about the long history of tough-guy stuff and will tell you from their off-ivory towers all about it. That's nonsense, too. They aren't presenting knowledge or savvy.
What they are presenting are exactly the emotions they are trying to evoke in their targets, whom they are trying to manipulate emotionally. Primarily, these are fear and malice, which are not the kinds of sober, clear-eyed assessments we need in leaders, including thought leaders.
Either these agitators are wailing from their own place of crippling fear, in which case they should not be leaders or even taken seriously, or they are cynically manipulating people with narrative lines they know work but don't believe in. Both are likely happening, sometimes in the same person and certainly from person to person among them.
I think a lot of them actually are terrified. They're impotent, powerless, weak, effete, and they are also not very smart or knowledgeable, so they don't have any realistic vision for how things can be dealt with outside of reactionary action, collectivist rage, and tyrannical power. They're small and uncreative, and they know it, so they're scared of everything and act like it.
I am certain many are not terrified and are straight manipulators who know exactly what they're doing and are doing it on purpose. They want certain ends to be achieved, all of which benefit the Left they pretend to fight, and they lure people into emotional and unthinking social states that can achieve those ends. They're bad people, not weak people.
Some, to be fair, are also just insane. That's visible too.
None of these people should be leading us in anything, and yet because so many people feel resonant emotions themselves, they turn to these brash cowards, lunatics, and manipulators because they give active voice to those underlying feelings. That is, they offer the catharsis that is gratifying but that will destroy us if indulged.
But let's look at their narratives a little, shall we?
Do the Left want all of us dead?
Well, probably some of them do, but so what? Most of them don't. This most recent would-be assassin didn't. He wanted members of the administration dead and no one else. He said so in his own psycho manifesto. He specifically said he hoped even Secret Service would be duly armored to survive and that hotel staff, much less bystanders and guests, should not be harmed unless they actively physically impeded him or threatened him.
He did not want you, dear reader, dead. Most of them don't. They want you marginal and ineffectual politically, but they don't actually care about you beyond that. They only care about political power, literally worshipping it like a twisted, dark religion (just like these Woke Right brethren). They don't actually care about you. Even fully empowered Communists in this day and age (with social credit tools, e.g.) don't particularly care about you or want you dead.
Now, look at Trump. How did Trump react to another attempt on his life? Calmly and reasonably. He made firm but sober statements. He praised law enforcement and urged that the show go on. He did not become histrionic, fearful, angry, malicious, or idiotic, and they actually DO want him dead, as the would-be killer specifically wrote himself. He exercised sober caution and then urged a return of everything to normal. He rescheduled the event to take place again later, as normal when continuing it as it was proved impossible. Trump's reaction: cool, collected, unperturbed, in control, civilized. (And the Woke Right tried to tell us, with their friends on the Left, that this is proof that it was faked, like a bunch of psycho lunatics.)
So, settle down.
(PS: Unless you're Jewish. A lot of people want Jews dead just because they're Jews, but, of course, if you need this message overall, you might be on the wrong side of that too.)
Can this only be solved with force or violence?
No. That's not only simply untrue; it's being actively disproved by the Trump Administration, inter alia, which these precise guys target and go after as being ineffective specifically because it's proving them completely wrong. Lawsuits are being won. Corruption is being investigated, uncovered, and prosecuted. Bad actors are being identified and dealt with. It's actually happening.
Here's the catch: it's slow. It will take over a decade, not a year. So the agitating propagandists here will tell you it's not working, not happening fast enough, etc., because they need you scared and mad. They'll deflect to "Epstein" as a sore spot to make you believe nothing is changing and everything remains corrupt, but the whole point is to mislead you away from understanding that a lot is happening and happening fast.
I understand that's frustrating, but all challenges are. So, rise to the challenge or get out of the way. Histrionics aren't helping.
Force and violence aren't needed, and as demonstrated already in Minnesota, are the wrong approach. That didn't work, as much as many of us wanted it to. We have to deal with that. We have to engage the harder work of deradicalization. Force and violence will not only fail and cost us our society but will backfire.
Do we need a dictator?
The logical conclusion of force not working in a free society is that force will work in an unfree society, so we need an unfree society to fix this problem. We need a dictator, they insist. A Franco, specifically, except for the few of them that openly call for a Hitler. Some bellyache for a Caesar, too.
That means the dictator claim rests upon the shoulders of the "force and violence" claim, which isn't true to begin with, and is the admission that the "force and violence" claim won't work anyway. It's kind of funny. Ultimately, these guys are kind of funny. They're fearful, angry whiners who can't imagine any solutions to their problems except war and force because they never leave their basements and weirdo reactionary books and weird fantasies of impotent rage-power, and that's the honest ones among them.
But we don't need a dictator because, one, it costs us the thing we're trying to preserve in the first place, which is not actually our LIVES (see #1); and, two, because it won't work either, except perhaps in the short term.
The whole point of our project is to preserve our way of life. The Woke Right wants you to believe we're preserving "our people," but it's actually our way of life we're trying to protect and save. In fact, in America, as the Woke Right rejects and hates, our way of life is what defines us as a people, unlike in many other lesser nations. Our way of life is LIBERTY and has been since our founding. Individual liberty and freedom, in covenantal relationship with taking responsibility for our own lives, is what's at stake, and choosing a dictator is like voluntarily sacrificing it instead of fighting for it. It's a coward's way. ("Save us, daddy! Save us!!!")
Historically, there are cases were Marxism was sort of repelled in the narrow sense through Fascist dictators (Mussolini and Hitler), semi-Fascist religious-nationalist dictators (Franco and Salazar), and just straight military dictators (Pinochet and others in South America in the 1970s). Did any of it work?
Not really, for two reasons.
First, it didn't work in the long run. None of the countries that repelled Marxism (in the narrow sense) through authoritarian force or totalitarian programming managed to maintain itself, and it grew an incredible Leftist opposition that eventually took power as soon as the opening came. Their populations turned strongly against the dictators and are pretty batshit Leftist in most cases now. That is, in the long run, it backfires.
Second, it doesn't really work in the short run either. Installing an alternative socialism and sacrificing liberty in the short run doesn't give us what we want, which is to preserve liberty and have opportunity. It repels Marxism in the narrow sense but not necessarily socialism or Leftism. There are other bad things besides just Marxism, so repelling it in the narrow sense while repeating many of its abuses in other forms and creating the basis for an eager return to Marxist Leftism on the first opportunity is not a real solution.
This is one of the reasons that I'm starting to say that Fascism is just Marxism with extra steps. It's more or less the same program except that it's organized slightly differently, and even so, the result of Fascist oppression is frequently Communist reaction, now in a system built to implement it at scale and quickly.
So these histrionic, fearful, agitating narratives are not correct. They're not true.
They're also indicative of either an underlying fearfulness and cowardice or a willingness to engage in cynical manipulation of their audiences' emotions. Bad all around.
I urge you not to fall for it, but if you must, go ahead. You'll end up destroying yourself one way or another that way, and I couldn't possibly care about losing someone with such poor judgment to the machinery of history and stupidity. We're better off without you, frankly, and you won't be missed. Have fun in the meantime, I guess, but it won't last long.
On the whole, though, you should aspire to better and not fall for that garbage.
I leave you with an image of what that impotent rage looks like in practice from another guy who wanted authoritarian power to deal with people he didn't like (and how did that go?):
It looks like a lot of people are finally coming back from or dropping the Woke Right. That's great! We should welcome the people who couldn't see it before and can now. We have to stay discerning about the grifters and subversives who took us here, though! A quick message!
Never apologize to the Left. Never justify yourself to the Left. Never explain to the Left.
Uppercut the Left. Obliterate the Left. Defenestrate the Left. Destroy the Left.
This is the way.
