Since 2020, we’ve seen measures aimed at censoring and de-platforming voices that challenge the mainstream agenda.
Dr. Joseph Mercola has been targeted as a misinformation spreader and deplatformed. Nigel Farage has been de-banked because of his political views.
What’s your take on this trend of hyper-politicization of everything?
It seems that most everything has been hyper-politicized. But it’s worse than that. There’s a more fundamental problem. The basic philosophical and psychological underpinnings of society have been so poisoned that everybody thinks in terms of politics—which is to say, they think the government should be used to coerce society.
You can’t easily cure the disease of hyper-politicization. The people who control academia, major corporations, the media, and the entertainment industry, among other things, actually hate the values of Western Civilization. Worse, these people control the apparatus of the State and use laws and regulations to enforce their views.
Artificial concepts like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” and “microaggressions” have only come up in the last decade, but they’re now everywhere. They’re hard to wash away because they aren’t just pseudointellectual fads but signs of psychological derangement—or spiritual sickness. The syndrome can be termed “Wokism.”
Although the Wokesters are happy to pass laws, they’re finding laws aren’t really necessary to destroy their enemies. Just make it impossible for them to live normal lives. If they can’t use banks, can’t express themselves, or gain employment, they can be transformed into nonpersons.
It’s almost as if a variety of the Hindu caste system is being implemented here in the US. If a person can neither readily access his money nor say anything in public, then he’s really become a type of untouchable.
It’s a very, very bad trend. Especially since the Wokesters—who are the modern equivalents of French Jacobins or Soviet Bolsheviks—also control the apparatus of the State. That allows them to use coercion under the cover of law.
But the rot is so deep that they don’t even have to use laws. The mob, what the Romans called the capite censi, the headcount, can enforce their will by force of numbers. They can “cancel” their enemies using democracy.
We already have our own unofficial variety of the Chinese social credit system. They’re called credit scores, computed by outfits like Equifax. Younger people actually like to compare their credit scores, seeing them as signs of approval from the society at large. I know it’s a shocking concept, but you don’t really need a credit score if you pay cash for everything. Stay off the debt treadmill. You don’t have to be a good “consumer.”
Every dollar that you own will be in digital, not tangible or physical form. Your dollars will be controlled by a central authority, unlike cash, which is dispersed and untraceable. Commercial banks will still perform administrative functions and charge fees, but I suspect your dollars will be held by the Fed itself. It will be a big change. But since most banks today are already bankrupt—and things are in process of becoming much worse—it will be applauded for keeping us “safe.”
Rename it to demonic control system. MARK their words on your forehead or your hand and do as they say.
