This is what happens when the institutions responsible for disseminating culture remain in the hands of your enemies for multiple generations. Eventually there will come a group of young people who never knew a world without this insanity, and they will treat it as legitimate simply because it was entrenched before they were born.
It’s similar to DLC and micro transactions in video games. No one liked or wanted that shit when it was first introduced, but they kept pushing it until the customer base turned over. Now kids think these predatory anti consumer practices are industry standard.
The lesson is this: you have to crush these things utterly, without mercy, at the first sign of incursion. If you ignore the problem and assume reality will take care of it, you will live to regret your inaction.
It's directly analogous to a child that grows up in an abusive household. They don't question it because they have no frame of reference. Abuse is simply "normal" to them. Then they grow up to be abusers themselves - again, because it's normal.
Zoomers have never known a world that wasn't defined almost entirely by anti-white hatred.
I think that's a good observation. The subversives weren't really high on their own supply, they were cynically manipulating. Now, however we've got a generation that accepts critical theory instead of critical thinking.
It feels like less people than ever are questioning authority, power, 'academics' unless the corporate press gives them the go-ahead with whatever buzz word label is the most evil this week applied. I'll take skeptics in my life, anything, just not these true believers. Why are so many people such conformists now?
Is it education? Social media? Maybe social media is the ultimate peer pressure?
People know that if they do research they'll find out the truth about anything. The upside to that is that you are reassured in your views that you already had. The downside is that you're wrong, you're going to have to admit you were wrong, you should have known better by researching it early, and probably it'll lead to finding out you're wrong about related things.
The downside is way, way worse than the upside because people hate being wrong. Even on disposable, nickname accounts like here or reddit it's really hard for people to admit being wrong about inconsequential stuff.
So they just turn off. Better to mindlessly believe authority than be informed.
You can't really make being wrong less hurtful because this is ingrained in our core psyche by evolution. What we can do instead is ruthlessly mock idiots so the upside of not being wrong is a bigger draw. For instance, never forgive the vax mandate people and always rub their noses in it that they should have known better.
less people than ever are questioning authority, power, 'academics'
They are authoritarians who use the appeal to experts fallacy to maintain control, of course they won't tear down the structure they're perched atop. Allowing questions is dangerous to their hegemony.
In the JFK era they tried to make it seem like Russia was more dangerous than it was. Then they started to believe it. No one knows if they fell for it, or got new information that changed their opinions.
Now it's the reverse, where they make Russia out to be less dangerous than it is while also being far-reaching and influential (which they aren't). They have nuclear weapons, we can't bully them around the way we did Afghanistan and Iraq.
DONT take any queues on consensus from reddit. Reddit is filled with bots and shills whose foremost purpose is to practice Concensus Cracking. Basically a human brain hack that you can only conquer via awareness
I've always believed that they truly did believe all the crazy shit they're saying and doing. It's the result of 100 years of feminist indoctrination in school.
1000 years ago, did tribesman believe it was evil spirits that caused diseases? You bet they did. We have the same situation here. Instead of evil spirits you have the patriarchy.
Social media and the internet being too accessible to people who don't have the mental fortitude to handle it correctly, combined with refinements in techniques and tools, mean that communist pathologies spread much, much quicker than ever before.
This is the essence of authoritarianism. This is also the point of propaganda in the reverse direction.
You can prove your unlimited power over someone when they choose to willingly believe something they know to be a lie.
You can prove your unlimited power over your vassals when they willingly repeat something they know to be a lie.
You can prove your unlimited power over your enemies when they willingly repeat something they know to be a lie, simply to 'keep the peace'.
Whatever you do, always remember that "Better Dead Than Red" isn't an ideological position, it's a statement of fact. The killing fields of Cambodia are filled to the brim with party loyalists. Anti-Leftists were forced into the ocean, and they still fared better than the people who stayed. Speak the truth, and only the truth. You will be kicked in the face for it by Leftists, their vassals, and their slaves; but you are going to be a lot better off than they will be.
I heard Yarvin call it the Cult of Overton, and I think that's a very fitting name.
It's clearly a cult.
They are fully brainwashed NPCs, only able to think within the confines of the dogma, an ever narrowing space.
In 2010 they were largely able to think for themselves. Thinking requires uncertainty, it requires openness - the building blocks of which are premises, hypothesis, theories, hypotheticals, etc.
But the cult demands conclusions. Whether that's "the word of God" or "settled science", appeals to authority or "common knowledge", "scientists agree" or "our priest says".
Like cancer the brain virus spreads. The cult demanding an ever increasing list of conclusions. And as the list grows, the space to think shrinks. Until eventually, all that is left is an NPC who just seems to know everything, have a rehearsed answer to everything; an answer that's repeated by all the other cult members. The metamorphosis is complete.
The change since 2010 is due to two things. Firstly that mass psychology, aka propaganda, is a new field barely over half a century old. There have been significant advances in the last few decades. The methods of the clergy class and the brainwashing itself are far more effective. Analogously, the field advanced from blood draining leeches in the 60s to echocardiograms and hip replacements in 2010 - and from that to laser surgery and crispr today. Reminds me of this text that u/Assassin47 shared here yesterday: https://files.catbox.moe/nv38ye.jpeg
And secondly it's social media. Brain viruses need a medium to spread through. Long ago that was conversations in the tribe, then through organized events the city, through the printing press the nation or the empire, and through radio and TV the world. But conversations, sermons, or books; none of it was nearly as effective as social media. Now people are plugged in from they wake up till they sleep, completely sequestered from opposing views, under huge group pressure, in a panopticon that scrutinizes their every word, surrounded by indoctrination on every side.
We're seeing the results and it's remarkable. The complete annihilation of the self - the total transformation of the individual into the redditor.
Christians will be upset to hear it, but this woke faith draws much from Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions: they have their own prophets, martyrs, "holy" texts, rites, rituals, festivals, and symbols. It's essentially becoming the state religion too.
Why would we be upset? What you really mean to say is that they are a religion. All religions have that stuff in one form or another. I would only be upset if you for some reason insisted them using religious benchmarks is somehow our fault.
In any case. I agree with you, but I also believe that we are still going to see a "4th Great Awakening" of Christendom for the rest of the West. Just as the 2nd Great Awakening created a plethora of folkway religions in the US, there will also be more than one new religion in this wave.
As millennials and zed jack off on phones and cry about how they ‘inherited’ unsolvable problems as if they are somehow different than any other generation in that capacity. Cry harder faggot.
That would be preferable, yes. That issue needs more circulation in the public consciousness. Reignite the public's mistrust of large corporations. That used to be a thing.

"these college kids will grow out of it when they enter the workforce"
and then the seas fucking parted for them
That's because they were designed to enter the workforce as a the suicide bombers that they are.

It's the information age.
People know that if they do research they'll find out the truth about anything. The upside to that is that you are reassured in your views that you already had. The downside is that you're wrong, you're going to have to admit you were wrong, you should have known better by researching it early, and probably it'll lead to finding out you're wrong about related things.

Agreed. Love your user name. Mama Tried
Thanks!
RIP The Hag.

The boomers who grew up fearing the Russians under JFK are the ones in charge of everything today, 60 years later.

I agree, but it does give us perspective into young people and blue-pillers. I still here similar narratives from both.

Moldbug is a faggot.
Why do I even bother.
Because the inverse offers even less hope.
Because marxists run the education system, social emotional learning is marxist indoctrination.
Its working.
Which is hilarious, because literally ALL of it is bullshit.
So many flagellates.
They self Eunuched? That's pretty hardcore.
Hmmmm, could it be... satan?
we're still well into his age
Why would we be upset? What you really mean to say is that they are a religion. All religions have that stuff in one form or another. I would only be upset if you for some reason insisted them using religious benchmarks is somehow our fault.

Okay, I'll bite, what's the difference?
As millennials and zed jack off on phones and cry about how they ‘inherited’ unsolvable problems as if they are somehow different than any other generation in that capacity. Cry harder faggot.
Dear God, do you ever shut the fuck up?
He is the most demented, monomaniacal gimmick poster I've ever seen.
You know, I could probably buy that argument…
I’m sure you’ll go off on a tangent, but yeah, this I could actually see as a reasonable, tbh…
