In my recent post, I returned a comment. Regarding intersectionality and inclusion, my comment said:
It's really not so much the particular ism for me, although we need to be vigilant in specifics.
The bigger, more troubling aspect of all this intersectionality and inclusion is the deconstruction of the human soul and individual spirit. It's all geared towards throwing the individual into a giant blender, turning it on, and then watching all of the individuals mashed up into some undefined soup. Soup to be poured out into molds, mass produced widgets for those who wish to remold the world closer to their hearts desire.
The playbook for anyone wanting to exert control over a population is actually pretty simple:
“Did (blank) realllly say...?” It’s as old as time. The serpent in the garden asks Adam and Eve this very question. Instill doubt in the accepted truth. Question anything that’s in the past. Shake every pillar and foundation, all empirical evidence to that point. Erase, minimize, and revise history.
“Surely you won’t die, but you’ll become like god.” Not only will forgetting and destroying everything that’s been accepted up until this moment NOT have major consequences, it will set you free. It will empower you. “Universally accepted sexual constructs of male and female over thousands of years? Ha! That’s dumb and old. If you just accept this NEW idea that you can be anything you want to identify as, it will make you free! Powerful! Special!”
Anyone who doesn’t think (this exact thing) is an enemy. You must exclude and punish them. The cover of the group seems like a very safe place, and human instinct relies fundamentally on self-preservation. And they know this and wield it with precision.
The organization and cataloging of groups is much easier for those who wish to control. They can determine much better who is stepping out of line, and they can control those who have lined up to seek shelter in an organized group.
Now they can point the laser, herd the cats, and put down the strays. And when they fully get to this point, there’s no longer enough outsiders to be a threat. They just pick them off, one by one, and each time they do, it further reinforces to the herds, shivering inside their little cages, the dangers of being outside of a group.
I know a lot of my recent articles have been in this vein, but it’s critical for us to understand how we are being herded, and what the shepherds have in mind. I would humbly ask those who have been on this theme for the past week or so to bear with me.
Many of us have watched in bewildered amazement over the past few years at the erosion of our personal liberties. We’ve been even more astounded by the masses that have gone right along with the madness. So many people have been questioning how this could happen.
How could someone we thought was sane, critical-thinking, and perceptive be so naïve and foolish? Even more confounding for many of us is how many of these same people have not just gone along passively with the tide of the day, but have actually become staunch advocates and proponents of this madness.
Let’s back up. Let’s go up to my list, to items 1-4.
These puppet masters, self-appointed shepherds, and crazy-makers know that destroying the individual is THE key point to everything else. They need to take all of these individual lumps of clay and lump them together into some amorphous mass. Then and only then can they truly mold societies into something that’s closer to their heart’s desire.
Each individual is born - or should be born - with the mandate for self-determination. The pursuit of their own happiness and self-empowerment. Individual liberty. Self-discovery. There’s nothing more powerful on earth than this.
Guess who understood this better than anyone in recent history? If you answered America’s Founders, you get a gold star!
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Please reread this again and again and again.
To this day, this is THE standard for sane, just, fair, and free vision for a healthy society. I dare you to put something more accurate or empowering on a societal level together.
The US founders were students of history. They literally scoured the earth in a quest to understand the governments, systems, philosophies, motivations, successes, and failures of humans from the beginning of time. They argued and debated and wrestled day and night with each other to figure out what was the Rosetta Stone of human flourishing, and out of that struggle came three documents: The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights.
They understood a hierarchy that’s been subverted, maligned, and assaulted ever since:
Individual > Family > Neighborhood > Community > State
Today, that hierarchy has been completely inverted.
This Is For The Greater Good
When these “self-evident” truths are no longer self-evident, the breakdown of the human spirit begins. Strongmen and women are given a green light to assault our societies and every individual within those societies. This idea of “the greater good” begins to be hammered home relentlessly, everywhere.
Eventually, those who forget or never learned the principles of self-determination, self-reliance, and the gifts of individual liberties “endowed by our Creator” as unalienable rights are remolded into something to serve “the greater good.” They are programmed with a belief system that they really are just living for others, for some ambiguous “greater good” that’s pre-defined by someone, somewhere, and “I’m sure it’s good because everyone else around me seems to think it is.”
These individuals willingly and gleefully submit themselves to powers far beyond their comprehension, and in the process, completely lose their autonomy. They turn themselves over to someone else - some faceless mass - to be molded, shaped, and conformed to a will not of their own making.
I can think of no greater evil or deception on our planet.
Quick aside: I’m a Christian. I believe in a Creator. I believe in submitting to my Creator’s will, convinced that this power far greater than myself knows me better and has a better plan for me. But this is an individual choice, and faith and trust have provided me with ample evidence in my own life that my Creator views me as infinitely valuable and unique. I am “fearfully and wonderfully made”, and that comes straight from this Creator. He says I’m an individual, and treats me accordingly.
This perspective makes all the difference in the world. Straight from God’s mouth, I know that I have the backing of an eternal, just, and wise power far greater than myself. With this comes the mandate to love, to serve, to live, to have compassion, to create, to be unique. I learn this new and fresh every day. I fall short every day. But the goal for me, here and now, is to go forth and prosper. To LIVE. To Think. To Feel. To Explore. To Mourn. To Rejoice. Through my own individual eyes, ears, mouth, and heart, inspired by something bigger, wiser, and more profound than I can possibly imagine.
This is what the Founders believed and articulated, not just in the founding documents, but in myriad other writings and speeches.
Whether you agree with this take or not, I think it’s fair to say that our societies today are riddled with all of the mechanisms that are diametrically opposite of this. Because of that reality, the masses have become widgets. Cogs. Voluntary soldiers and guinea pigs, fully submitted to powers and structures that only have their own interests in mind.
These powers are NOT benevolent. They are maniacal. Controlling. Thirsty for their own power and pleasure and agenda.
They are soul eaters. Locusts. Vampires. They will stop at nothing and suck everything into their black hole to absorb more power, energy, and will.
To create their world, they need resources. And what greater resource to capture than an individual’s free will?
What greater power is there for them than for a human life to willingly turn over all of the potential, all of the creativity, all of the energy, all of the dreams and visions and joys and freedoms that were destined and assigned to that individual from the beginning of time by a Creator, over to them to be thrown into the blender of the masses for the manipulation, glory, and purpose of these Vampires?
It’s no stretch or exaggeration to say this is a godlike power, voluntarily put into the hands of psychopaths and megalomaniacs by assenting and apathetic masses. Every Woke bot crying “Injustice”, every sleeping Joe and Jane Doe mindlessly putting on a mask or taking a shot, every neighborhood Karen and Ken, every neo-nazi, every alt-right Facebook warrior, and everyone in between who puts their group over their individuality, is complicit in aiding and abetting these Vampires and Psychopaths.
Is this harsh? I don’t know. It sucks to say. But what sucks even worse is watching a human life, an individual, willingly (knowingly or unknowingly) bow at the alter of The Greater Good.
I’ll leave you with one more thought I wrote in my recent “Conform Or Be Cast Out” post:
Knowing what we’re up against and the forces at work is paramount. Ignorance is NOT bliss. It’s subjugation and slavery. Understanding and knowledge might be frightening and intimidating. Yet, at least for me, being a bot is much more frightening, because it means I’ve willingly given up my soul and my individual sovereignty to a cold machine that wants me numb or dead.
Thoughts?
Perfectly on point, thank you! All of this insanity is preparation for Transhumanism. Much like Hitler pursued utopia in the form of a perfect human race, the current derangement of everything from language to truth to mutilating one's body is an attempt to herd us all into a permanent state of soulless hell. Keep your wits about you people, stay vigilant. None of this is compassionate.
Once I've filtered out your particular sectarian viewpoint, I agree with the core truths you're striving for.
The powerful mythic stories in the Bible work against your theme, though. Thinking for oneself is always punished. Accepting orders from a higher authority is regarded as proof of piety.
It was the individual need to know more that got Adam and Eve hurled out of the Garden.
