":Unless, that is, we can quickly find better ways to communicate—in peace—with our leftist brethren, our fellow Westerners, our dear relatives, co-workers, and friends. We must help them make a profoundly ashamed, squealing U-turn (and soon). And we must welcome and encourage this transformation with love, avoiding condemnation, because they are going to feel just awful about themselves when they finally understand."
Well, you will find this situation in the majority of persons who have awakened from the sleepwalk of falling to a Cluster-B type.
Whether they will reintegrate or not depends a fair bit on how bad/shameful their actions were under their zombie-mode. You had the children of the Stasi and Red Guard for example, who were brainwashed into doing terrible things to their own parents. Very hard to live that down if you awaken later. Or for a Nazi camp guard to face his living victims again after the war.
But I hear what you're saying. This is as much a challenge for those of us who never succumbed -- to welcome back the fallen -- as it is for the prodigal types to awaken and return. It is the idea of unfettered forgiveness. Not easy.
"Antisemites always oppress everybody because this regularity always holds:
Antisemites are totalitarians.
Or perhaps I should say it like this:
Totalitarians are antisemites."
I see it this way, Francisco. Totalitarians are Cluster-B types by definition, meaning they reside at the low polar end of the empathy spectrum in the human psyche. Freud's Id.
And who do Cluster-B types use as their targets? Why....those on the other polar end of the empathy spectrum. I call them the "Goodists" (courtesy of John Sarno). Freud's Superego.
Therefore, it is likely that Jews are Goodists. As are others. Over-responsible parentified children, for instance. Scrupulous over-achievers. I have known a few in general. It gives a person the Disease to Please. While this can be very beneficial to others, it is not advantageous for the Goodists themselves.
But we have this idea in the West that no one can be too good....that we should all keep on striving for perfect goodness, all the time. Although this ideal, in practical terms, leads to trouble.
The best place to be on the empathy spectrum? The middle ground. Homeostasis.
lots of good points here. Although I'm not sure I like calling the professors 'cultural marxists' for these reasons: while it is certainly true that the tools of Western elites like calling themselves 'marxists', they are (as you well document) disciples of the Rockefeller/CIA education system. They are in fact philo-nazis, glorifiers of fascism, and huge liars. The US government has always been rabidly anti-communist, Russophobic, and likely anti-marxist too (I'm not sure of exactly what a 'marxist' is, but Western fascists like using this label which makes them look 'cool' to Western college kids).
And obviously there are numerous little points that the Western leftist cannot address: Why was Husseini doing radio propaganda against the Serbs? The Serbs were (mostly) not Jewish, they were not in palestine. So why was he railing against them and teaching SS troops on how to kill them?
And the current left insists that Israel (and Jews) have great control over US policy--but they can never explain exactly when/how they took over control of this policy from the philo-nazis that ran operation paperclip and numerous other nazi-importation projects.
The meticulously documented works of John Loftus and the late Charles R. Allen Jr go into numerous nazi criminals that were allowed entry into the US and were living in the US as of the mid 1980s or so. And obviously none of this is possible if US policy is influenced by Jewish lobbies.
In general, I've been trying to get others to understand that the *actual* influence of Jews on a country's policy is inversely related to the number of articles and featured talking heads complaining that Jews are controlling the policy. This is a 'meta' level lesson that many do not grasp--that thousands of tweets complaining about Israel (from media talking heads, politicians, etc) means that our media and policy are not controlled by Israel in any way. Perhaps you can help get others to grasp this simple concept.
I think you are having trouble with this because you believe that our psychopathic Western bosses don't like Marxism. I believe you are mistaken. Think about it. Why have the bosses --who control the boards of trustees of the universities--allowed the universities to have become flooded with Marxist professors in the last seven decades? It was not always so. In the first half of the 20th century, university professors were overwhelmingly conservative. There is no law saying that a professor must be a leftist. This was engineered.
As far as I am aware, the Frankfurt School academics had a lot of influence due to the fact that they arranged faculty positions for themselves at radicalizing American universities of the 50s/60s.
And then the Weathermen group were suddenly on various faculties too, after they became bored with violence. How did that happen? Who opened the doors?
Jared Israel's series of articles on the Weathermen are the best (and maybe only) work that delves into how the elite powers of the US replaced the genuine SDS movement at Harvard with Ayers' group. Ayers group may have been among the first to make the 'marxist' label look cool--but they were pets of the US establishment, promoters of racial division and antisemitism.
I have heard similar rumours of Gloria Steinem having been with the CIA, and being sent in to move the feminist ideology along. Not certain whether that is correct, but this theme crops up now and again.
I've read similar about Steinem and it seems to be true. Her whole 'feminist movement' was entirely silent on numerous issues where it should not have been. The more you read, the more you see that the 'media celebrated' heroes of the last 50+ years are all deliberately promoted, part of a more nefarious agenda. Here's the first Ayers article. IMO, a lay person cannot and will never understand how the feds hijack genuine anti-establishment movements until they read and absorb this series: http://tenc.net/exhumed.htm
what is a 'marxist'?? For certain they align with the 'left' on the Western political spectrum--which is devised by the same people that rescued and ratlined tens of thousands of nazi criminals. They like calling themselves 'marxist'. Do Marxists have a natural affinity for Eichmann and Husseini??
we're getting deeply into semantics, but since we're certainly not anti-semantic here, supposedly in Mein Kampf Hitler expressed a hatred of Marxists, advocating for the destruction of Marxism in all its shapes and forms. So I maintain that these professors are actually neo-nazis calling themselves 'Marxists'. I theorize that they do this to look 'cool' to young people of the West. They can't actually say, 'I was educated in Rockefeller/CIA/eugenics/Nazi sponsoring propaganda'. Based on what Hitler says about Marxism in Mein Kampf, a 'marxist' that supports Husseini and Eichmann is not really a marxist, but rather a fraud. So in short my take is that these professors are cultural nazis, consistent with all we know about CIA support for eugenics, the nazis, rescuing and ratlining nazis...
Totalitarianism is a wider category. It includes both Nazis and Marxists/Communists.
Totalitarians may face-off against one another for supremacy (sometimes after they have worked together against a common scapegoat).
For instance, I think of both the WOKE and Islam being in the totalitarian leagues (one leftwing, the other rightwing). We see them playing together on occasion for mutual benefit against their joint scapegoat -- Western Civilization. However, eventually they will turn and fight the other for supremacy. If it gets that far.
"But we must speak to leftists in a language that they can understand. The decisive refutation of the modern left is therefore itself LEFTIST; it must be conducted entirely within the discursive grammar of the left."
Here is what this suggestion reminds me of...here is where I see a pattern.
Totalitarianism is not solely political, of course. It is a highly dysfunctional group dynamic found where a leader on the low end of the empathy spectrum (addicts, Cluster-B types) controls a vulnerable group beneath them (trauma-bond) and spreads a toxic group narrative into a cohesive herd. In other words, we are looking at cults, gangs, extremist religions, political totalitarianism, organized crime groups/terrorism groups.
Once upon a time, I looked quite thoroughly into the phenomenon of cults. Which are totalitarian. Specifically, I wanted answers on how to awaken mesmerized cult followers. And you know...even decades after the 1970s Cult Movement had hit North America and flourished here, there are still very few formal answers out there. Psychologists can readily tell you how to offer "exit counseling" to those who have already left, but this is not the same thing at all. I find that they have reneged on studying the real issues and offering the real answers. But hey....it's a living, still.
Back in the 1970s there was a man named Ted Patrick -- a black American with a grade 10 education who nonetheless had buckets of common sense and human observational wisdom. He became the "cult-kid-saviour". Only, sometimes he had to resort to involuntary removal of these kids from the cult surroundings, which landed him in court.
Anyway....I studied Ted Patrick's work. What was he doing to promote the reverse-SNAP! moment, when the lights went back on? Your article here today, Francisco, reminds me of those methods.
That is a very big compliment. Many thanks. I have studied Marshall Rosenberg for a few years. And I have even taught his methods. He was really onto something with his non-violent communication. And that's a real science.
Thanks for that. I know of Marshall Rosenberg's work only in terms of the basics. I looked in-depth at one time into the implications of validation on childhood development. And how Bowlby's Attachment Theory comes into it.
I will familiarize myself with Rosenberg's work more thoroughly now.
Here is a conundrum though. Rosenberg's work emphasizes empathy, cooperation, and all the traits of a good parent.
There is a version of a family cult known as Parental Alienation, in which the scapegoated/attacked parent is already displaying all of these good traits in spades. And despite this, the scapegoating happens.
I am just saying that if the assumption is that persons being scapegoated are just not showing enough empathy and cooperation and other like traits....then it is not accurate.
SHUN/SMEAR/PUNISH whenever they are questioned on their narrative, or dissented to.....even slightly? If so, you are looking at bona fide totalitarianism. Whether it is leftwing or rightwing.
Why? Because I spent hours yesterday on Matt Taibbi's Substack (Racket News), and Sasha Stone's Substack just prior -- posting about totalitarianism in the Democrat Party and within WOKE in general.....and the warning signs I have been offering as a canary-in-the-coalmine. For years. But the warnings all bounce off.
No one had even thought to identify these behaviours/attitudes as totalitarianism. But I am certain of that. Totalitarianism manifests in many forms. Always very similar or same patterns.
Then this post of yours appeared this morning in my inbox. As if by magic.
I thought it must be a sign. Synchronicity.
I also recommended your Substack several times recently. So perhaps there is a thaw. Lucky for you 😁.
I know too much. And I was digging the dirt on this phenomenon before you! Seeing as neither of us are living in the formal academic world these days, we have to work out different methods of approach. So I have become quite imaginative.

No, it is not easy. But civil war will be even tougher.

I hear ya. All extremes are bad. We just have to... chill.
Carl Jung would say that a person needs to get to know and accept their Shadow. Trouble might be in figuring out first what, exactly, is in there.
If you are a polar-person, or group, I would begin looking at the opposite pole.

Yes, absolutely engineered.

I suspect that the years from late 1963 onwards in the West have been a large social engineering experiment, in many ways.

In my view, we are talking totalitarians here. The common denominator is that they are all Cluster-B types, or they answer to Cluster-B types.
Yes....Marxists have an affinity for others who have this spot on the empathy spectrum. That situation is what ties them together.
They do. Now you understand.

I really like this comment. But I also agree that phony professors pretending to be anything (Marxists, liberals, anything) are easily produced.
