"A Marxist globalist needs only one smart-sounding commie to create a wave of mockingbird mimickers eager to repeat exactly what the “lone genius” says"

This is the approach behind MSDNC...

Totalitarians always rise to power by preying on insecure people because, once mesmerized by the tyrant’s speech, eager repeaters become goose-stepping sycophants of the highest order.

I recall a certain Band, there were a few hockey fan amongst the members, started playing certain riffs to evoke a programmed response.... Clearly they had been drinking and watching "Slap shot" one night because they would play the Pavlovian cue and the Ididn't idios in the audience would do a stupid little dance. I imagine that it was quite an ego boost for the band members.

The media is no different.

Great article. Folks should really pay attention to this...

That is a very good article. It confirms and puts into perspective several things I always suspected.

We have all heard this "tale" before. A smooth talking pretty boy gets up on a stump and starts talking to the simple minded and they all fall in line. Usually there is a "reward" for those who fall in line. Like cheap health care or money because you are of a certain race (Obama's money). This fairly tail goes back centuries to the Pied Piper of Hamelin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin

A man in multicolored clothing says he can get rid of all of your rats. But, when the city refuses to pay him he instead lures off their children. Just like the democRATs and their campaign speeches they promise the world but when they can't deliver they find a way to blame you for it and destroy your children's future (32 trilllion in debt)

This is a good article and I get the message the writer is trying to deliver but this is an old, old fairly tale. One we grew up hearing. But, apparently we have forgotten that lesson.

The Pied Piper did get rid of the rats, then the City failed to pay,

"End of democracy".


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

"Narratives create false realities that incentivize humans to accept certain ideas or pursue certain actions that they would otherwise never accept or pursue if they were thinking clearly and confronting reality truthfully."

I think these narratives start with Fantastical Ideologies, then promoted by media, cajoling people into blind belief.

The first was probably feminism, paving the way for others such as Eco Ideology, Climate Ideology, Transgender Ideology, and on and on.




When I heard Haley make this statement, I immediately thought, "Really Nikki? Who designed, built and sourced the materials for your home? Who invented and designed the vehicle you used to drive to the airport, invented, designed and built the roads you drove to the airport, the plane you flew on, the event center you're standing in, the TV I'm watching you on...?"

Feminist Ideology allows these obviously false statements to be made with almost zero questioning. When these ideologies are challenged with factual information, the cognitive dissonance generally results in angry outbursts and ad Hominim attacks, but no rational arguments supporting them.

Ironically, Transgender Ideology now has men competing against women. I think they're actually just reaping what they've sown.

A little extreme maybe, but I think people's increasing willingness to believe in these Fantastical Ideologies, with the self-supporting media reinforcement, may ultimately collapse western civilization. A society that more and more lives in a fantasy world and recoils at rational argument, can't survive others that don't subscribe to the same levels of fantasy.

Yeah, I imagine similar things have always been happening. But even these people of the past would laugh at the ideas that "men don't get things done", that males can become females and vice versa, that we're living in a dire "climate crisis", etc, etc. The level of fantastical thinking seems to be increasing to ridiculous levels, in lock-step with the left. "Politcal correctness" social pressure usurps the First Amendment and protects these Fantastical Ideologies from being debated in public.

As you mention, it's probably nothing new, but this is how I see it progressing in our place and time.

The recognition of rights is the new thing that elites have never liked.

Being forced to believe/pretend to believe whatever elites claim has been around a long, long time.
