It seems the left has been beaten down and bruised, but they are not out. They are rallying, but seem to be using old arguments and tatics for now, and they just aren't getting much traction as all the corruption is being revealed. People are just sick of their nonsense. However, it's too early for an autopsy. I want to understand what happened. The left has been ponerized to an extreme degree. The same can happen to the right, but not so much in the last 200 years - which has been a battle between left and right and the right has been losing.
This video by Rudyard Lynch provides a lot of answers to what happened I think, and I agree with most of it, it's a study on the 'anthropology of the left'. It's very insightful and surprising in places.
Notes:
We know nothing about stuff we know the most about.
we need distance to see things that are normally too close to objectively observe.
All societies have been absurd at times. Amazing how crazy we all are.
Our society is not interested in how societies work.
Now we believe in the 'blank slate' therefore culture is not important, and all societies work the same.
Men and women are the same. We don't realize how stupid this all is.
We never study our own culture anthropologically - we could gain great insights if we did.
A study found that 'centrists' in America are not intellectuals, but rather
anti-intellectual normie idiots.
Roughly 1/3 liberals, 1/3 conservatives, 1/3 centrists.
Being fair is telling the truth. Any other principle is faulty.
We operate inside an extreme leftist worldview - even conservatives operate inside its logic.
Tom Holland's book - "Dominion - How the Christian Religion Remade the World".
Christianity has massively influenced the world.
Even anti-Christian people become 'Christian' by accepting the assumptions of the Christian world.
The anti-Christian left does this by accepting equality, meek being good, progress, utopia, etc.
India, China, and the Roman Empire didn't believe any of that stuff.
Everybody today thinks and acts based on leftist philosophy.
The right is nostalgic for a past that never existed.
Rightist groups each have a different agenda, no single message.
Left has a single message, they are united.
Left has had a common, shared plan to conquer the world for the last 200 years.
The last 200 years have been a global battle between the right and the left.
2 lefts over history - eastern - Marx, Stalin..., and western: Rousseau, feminism...
What the left says they are today, and the truth are basically opposites.
Lynch does not just blame the Jews... he blames the Jews, women, the bureaucracy, the French,
and Calvinists.
Left - urban, Right - rural. only natural that something like leftism shows up in cities.
Cities have been incapable of sustaining themselves without rural support. Places of atheism,
agnosticism, moral degeneracy, and creativity. People in cities can't be controlled by tribal
cohesion. Humans evolved in small communities - cities removed that.
France was the first country in Europe to experience leftism because they were the first to have
cities.
Calvinism = proto 'wokeism'. Calvinism origin of "Shining City on a Hill"!
Almost all post-modernist thinkers were Jews.
Jewish ideas fed into white women's interests.
Jews in politics are leftists primarily, those not into politics tend to be conservative.
Currently, Jews are a moderation force on the left. Left has gone extreme.
Three pillars of leftist thought are really all the same thing: the Noble Savage, The Blank Slate,
and the Open View - human nature is perfectible.
Ergo: human engineering is needed to turn humans into saints - leftist totalitarianism is the answer.
None of these assumptions are turning out to be true according to recent science.
Another source of leftism - the German Occult Movement - AKA The Illuminati.
Leftism rejects concepts of god and truth. Truth is what is strategically advantageous to the
left at any point in time.
Supporting various social groups - women, LGBT, etc., was a tactic started decades ago, today's
left believes all that is a moral law from on high. They do not know their own history.
What the left says about the right is true about the left.
Bureaucracies will pick issues that can hardly be solved - creating endless funding. Leftism
appeals to bureaucracies. Bureaucracies demolish Western civilization.
We are a nation run by eunuchs, harem girls, and bureaucrats.
The always-existing split between men and women is the most taboo subject in modern society.
this split has become a political divide - more women leftist - more men conservative.
We know who we cannot criticize in this society. Men are afraid to critique or criticize women
today. It's very embarrassing to do so.
Men get benefit from risk, but women don't. Women wieghed-down by childbearing, (not so much today).
Women avoid risk so they will support welfare, the breakdown of the family, and war.
Females are as aggressive as men, their attack modes are shaming, gossiping, and rallying - leftism.
leftism is shaming, gossiping, and rallying on a global, industrial scale.
The left is cunning, but not tough, they are the best people in the world at word games.
