There is a certain level of madness required to reach the state our country is in today. I think most of us feel this and know this, but I want to dissect the situation a little so that we can see the guts of the thing and understand the mechanics of it. Insanity has a structure, believe it or not, and there are ways to analyze it and identify it.
I’ve previously explored the thinking patterns and predatory habits of the worst 1 percent of humanity and how they insinuate themselves into authority by blending in (until they have all the power and no longer need to blend it). What I want to talk more about is the other people, the 5 percent to 10 percent of the population that psychopaths exploit as a mob or army to frighten everyone else into conformity and help them achieve their goals.
Now, to be clear, almost any group can become an exploitable weapon used by psychopaths. There have been times in history where the elites within the Catholic Church used zealotry among Christians to dominate society to the point of torture and terror during the inquisitions and crusades. During the George W. Bush era, I remember well the lies about WMDs used to herd Republicans into pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, that is the past. Today the problem of zealotry is resoundingly on the political left.
What I find interesting is that leftists actually believe that they are the underdogs and that they are fighting a “revolution” against the establishment. This is a bizarre disconnect from reality. Every major institution of power and influence in the U.S. is on the side of the political left. How can you be rebelling against the establishment if all your values coincide with the establishment’s agenda?
The mainstream media and Hollywood have gone hard line in favor of leftist propaganda from critical race theory to the trans agenda and identity politics to feminism to socialism and centralization. Nearly every commercial, TV show, and movie we see today reflects a far-left viewpoint or far-left imagery, even though the majority of the population has no interest in woke ideology. Clearly, leftists and their friends in media think that if they force their cultism into people’s faces nonstop 24/7 that we will eventually capitulate and embrace it.
Big Tech and major social media platforms all operate according to leftist politics. All of their terms of service rules are enforced to protect leftists from criticism and to censor conservatives and any moderates that dare speak up. The evidence overwhelmingly shows a left-leaning bias in Big Tech censorship with conservatives being booted off platforms for nothing more than citing facts. We saw this recently with Marjorie Taylor Green, a Georgia GOP representative, who was banned from Twitter and called a “far-right conspiracy theorist” for posting links to the VAERS database.
For those unfamiliar with VAERS, it is a database run by the U.S. government to track the adverse effects of vaccinations including COVID vaccinations. VAERS has reported thousands upon thousands of deaths and side effects directly related to the COVID vaccines, but you aren’t supposed to know about that. So, Greene gets booted from Twitter for posting the government’s own data, which is now only accessible if you go through a maze of links to get to the downloads.
Social media is also commonly used as a weapon by leftists in order to “cancel” people that step out of line. An American Airlines pilot was attacked this week by a Twitter mob when a crazed feminist Karen took images of his luggage. His crime? A small sticker on his suitcase that said: “Let’s Go Brandon.” The woman and her Twitter cohorts called for the pilot to be fired and American Airlines is “investigating” the issue.
This is just one instance among hundreds of thousands in the past few years that illustrate the sheer rage leftists feel when they are faced with a free-thinking person. Their immediate reaction is to punish and destroy rather than accept and move on.
But where does this mentality come from?
I think it’s a combination of a culture of narcissism and collectivism coupled with a desperate desire for weak people to feel as though they are powerful. Leftists are very commonly people you might call the “runners-up” in life. There are a lot of malcontents and socially inept failures in their ranks that grow up feeling powerless. Instead of improving their lot in life by improving themselves and achieving something of merit, they instead blame others and the world for their lack of accomplishment.
This mentality can also be seen with their academia which often exaggerates their own importance and the importance of their accolades. One can get a master’s degree in social sciences or feminist studies, but how useful is that person to the world really? Being an activist alone is not a career and they produce nothing, so the only measure of their education and their life is how much they can destroy, not how much they can build and create.
Joe Rogan’s latest move from Twitter over to GETTR is another big story that leftists are losing their minds over. They act as though they just want to be rid of conservatives from their “safe spaces,” but in reality, this does not satisfy them. They don’t want us to walk away, they want us to conform. They want us trapped within their echo chambers and going along to get along, or they want us erased.
Leftists also see people as property of the collective, and if you and millions of others walk away this reflects badly on their ideology, which is unacceptable. This is why they are constantly attacking or trying to take down conservative social media platforms. You would think they would be happy that GETTR exists, but they are miserable. Your freedom is their misery.
Think about that for a moment; there are millions of leftists out there that cannot abide your existence if you are free to express your discontent with their narrative.
When Joe Rogan contracted COVID, the leftists were jittery with excitement hoping he would die. When he beat the virus in less than three days without being vaccinated, they cried out in horror. It’s as if they don’t realize that most unvaccinated people have had the virus and have easily survived it (I had COVID for a week and then I was fine). Or maybe they are aware that the vaccines are mostly pointless. Maybe what really bothers them is that the unvaxxed are free and do not conform to the mandates or the fear-mongering? Maybe they are more concerned about the act of defiance rather than any issues of legitimate “health safety” …
And this brings me to the relationship between the majority of government and the political left, which are working hand in hand to push forward COVID controls and vax mandates. I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again, there is no longer any debate about who the authoritarians are. If you want to be free from overt government intrusion and tyranny you go to a conservative red state. If you want to be a slave, you go to a progressive blue state. Red states value individual freedom, blue states do not. This is undeniable.
Leftists are not the rebels they seem to think they are. They are not the heroes, they are the villains. They are the empire.
I believe the vax mandate agenda in particular appeals to their innate desire for control over others. This is evident in their crazed rhetoric over the vaccination issue. The Los Angeles Times just published an op-ed titled “Mocking Anti-Vaxxers’ Covid Deaths Is Ghoulish, Yes – But May Be Necessary” (originally titled “Why Shouldn’t We Dance On The Graves Of Anti-Vaxxers?”), and it is this kind of dishonest and uneducated propaganda that truly reveals the extend of the political left’s broken psychology.
The Biden Administration has been a key element in fear-mongering over the COVID pandemic, which has had an average Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of 0.27 percent, and now with the even less dangerous Omicron strain, the death rate is plummeting further. The vast majority of people have nothing to fear from COVID, yet leftists readily rally around Biden and his medical tyranny.
Furthermore, the idiocy of The Los Angeles Times is made clearer when we look at the actual data for breakthrough cases. Breakthrough cases are COVID infections and deaths among fully vaccinated individuals. For example, in the state of Massachusetts alone there have been over 262,000 fully vaccinated people who still ended up infected with COIVD and 1,054 deaths according to official numbers. That is an infection fatality rate of 0.4 percent, which is higher than the national average IFR of 0.27 percent.
The most vaccinated countries in the world are also suffering from the worst infection spikes in the world. In Ireland, for example, over 63 percent of recent COVID deaths were fully vaccinated individuals. In Israel, nearly 60 percent of COVID hospitalizations are fully vaccinated. Uruguay, Bahrain, Maldives and Chile all have overwhelming majority vaccination rates and all of them have seen spikes in COVID deaths and infections.
The average vaccine is tested for 10-15 years before it is approved for use on human beings, yet COVID vaccines were released within months with no long-term testing to prove their safety. It makes perfect sense for people to be concerned.
So, I would ask the hacks at The Los Angeles Times: Should we be dancing on your graves when you die from COVID despite all those miraculous untested vaccines? Or maybe when you end up dead and on the VAERS list due to vaccine side effects?
This is called logic and reason and science; it’s outside of their grasp and they don’t care. What they care about is control and nothing would bring them more joy than to see 100 percent conformity and slavery to their ideals. The pandemic paranoia, the lockdowns, the mandates, Big Tech, social media, cancel culture are all means to an end. Leftists pretend they are humanitarians that care about the greater good, but this is a facade. It’s just another rationale to justify a deep-seated thirst to micromanage the lives of others. They are projecting their tyranny on the rest of us and calling us the bad guys. It’s time to end the theater and call leftists what they really are. They are the dictators they claim they are trying to fight.
