The media is in love with the word "manifesto".
The definition of the word is "A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature."
Most recent "manifesto"s, like the transgender who killed several young girls at the Christian School in Nashville looked like private doodling on a spiral notebook. That would be an unusual medium for something intended to be seen by the public.
The alleged "manifesto" of the Madison shooter looked like "journaling", a method recommended by some counselors to help patients with self-awareness and can provide "closure".
Speaking of manifestos and self-awareness
I can see why the mainstream media erected Jurassic-Park quality fences around Ted Kaczynski's 1995 essay Industrial Society and its Future.
Kaczynski is RELENTLESS in his criticism of the Leftist/Elitist movement. Since the mainstream media is largely an organ of Leftist policy, they never, ever, ever want you to read the essay.
I am in the process of skimming through the 34 page document and intend to reread it more thoroughly later. I figured that I am already on a list (we all are) and if somebody wanted to convict me of hate-crimes, they can go trawling through the four million words published on this blog and I am sure they can find some awkward wording that can be taken out of context.
Two things jumped out at me:
Kaczynski claimed that shame is the primary emotion used by Leftist to control others.
Kaczynski claimed that most Leftists are over-socialized.
Shame
Shame is the internalized threat of abandonment. The threat is usually a veiled threat but it can be overt. (ERJ definition)
Shame is devastating to a child because abandonment is death. It is the nuclear option in parenting. It is especially effective on a child being raised by a single-parents because the child doesn't have the option of getting emotional support from the other parent. Since shame works so well and since single-parents are often overwhelmed, it is very tempting to use "shame" liberally.
It is devastating to the child's ability to develop the capability for emotional commitment later in life. Only those who are close to you can hurt you via abandonment.
Every effort to hammer out differences in an adult relationship reflects back to the shamed child as a threat of abandonment.
Some of children become hyper-sensitive to threats of abandonment and go into the equivalent of anaphylactic shock. "You must accept me as a furry and not mock me by meowing or I will kill you".
Over-socialized
 |
| Leftist logic: Since you are not allowed to have a "self", you cannot have rights |
The over-socialized individual is incapable of identifying "self" and is, consequently, profoundly crippled in their capacity to obtain self-awareness.
That might explain the Leftist's breathtaking ability for "projection".
Without self-awareness the Leftist cannot recognize when they are tired, low blood-sugar, hungry, thirsty, disappointed, off-their-meds or "needy" in any other way. Unable to see it in themselves, they cannot see it in others. They might say "Maybe this isn't a good time to discuss..." by rote, but it isn't empathy.
The inescapable allure of "digital content" only makes it harder to maintain self-awareness even when we are motivated to take care of ourselves. Digital content is almost everywhere.
Without those internal signposts, they can be easily convinced to accept skin-color, gender or head-covering
Applied IQ vs Cultural Luddite about the EV virtue signaling?
ReplyDeleteWorse SNIP They might say "Maybe this isn't a good time to discuss..." by rote, but it isn't empathy.
Seems classic Sociopathy. They also USE SHAME for controlling others.
We discussed culture vs IQ recently. Seems our Jacobians have created or enhanced the sociopaths in our society?
Not good neighbors.
Pre-coffee thoughts so a bit disorganized.
At best the newly created sociopaths are an unintended consequence. At worst, intentionally created suicide bombers.

ReplyDeleteOddly just read this this morning, seemed apt:

Seems to describe this situation very well and the TROUBLES it creates.
Romans 1:18-32
ReplyDeleteFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Cause, effect.

And also this morning an excellent essay about what HAPPENS when a GENERATION of such Jacobian Sociopaths SEEK and GET access to the levers of Power:
ReplyDeletehttps://karenkwiatkowski.substack.com/p/the-masks-have-slipped
As the above poster noted WE TOOK GOD OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND EDUCATED A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS INTO A GODLESS ME FIRST environment.
4th turning and Christianity isn't at cross purposes. God USES Men even evil men to do HIS WILL.
This Tablet essay by David Samuels delves deeply into this subject matter and is a very insightful read.

"...with enough money, operatives could create and operationalize mutually reinforcing networks of activists and experts to validate a messaging arc that would short-circuit traditional methods of validation and analysis, and lead unwary actors and audience members alike to believe that things that had never believed or even heard of before were in fact not only plausible, but already widely accepted within their specific peer groups."
DeleteThat is a good read.

Delete"The party is the ghost in the machine, which appears to run on automatic pilot, using the human desire for companionship and social connection as fuel for an effort to detach individuals from their own desires and substitute the dictates of the party, which is granted the unlimited right to enforce its superior opinions on all of mankind."
Is it a good read? “Barkie ‘re-wired’ the democrat party”? Sorry… but that boy was as dumb as a goldfish. To suggest that he politically outmaneuvered the jewish element of the democrat party…it’s like saying the monkey calls the tune, and the organ grinder dances to it…?
DeleteThe author never said Obama was a brilliant strategist. He said Axelrod put the machine together and Obama drove it into the ditch.
DeleteWell…given the people involved… was it even possible to keep it on the road, Joe? Not arguing, BTW, just asking. This was a fine poast…
DeleteI stopped reading too early and gave up on it when I thought they were giving Barkie credit for re-wiring the party. That guy was a muppet reciting his lines off a teleprompter… same as Joe, really…
I agree with Michael. Sociopathic displays of 'concern' have no basis in reality, merely self-serving actions by the sociopath.
ReplyDeleteWe see this more and more. The Establishment sets up our heroes and demons and we clap or bark and hiss as the Great Morality Play demands. Over on YouTube they started yanking vids of Hitler’s speeches rendered in English by AI. And clearly the reason is obvious: in English… he doesn’t sound like the deranged demonic lunatic he’s portrayed as. He sounds like anyone today that speaks out against govt corruption and incompetence. I’d heard rumours that Uncle Ted made cogent points more often than not.
ReplyDeleteI no longer accept any of the common narratives about such figures at face value. As our moral and intellectual superiors devolve their narratives and become ever more ridiculous. It wouldn’t surprise me if Uncle Ted were actually a visionary?
I watch the lefties trying to demonize Blumpf and his supporters and it works for them… but for me, I wonder what planet they’re on…
