Any thing or one, who does not align at all times and in all things with the Agenda/Narrative, is liable to be labelled as far-right/fascist/Nazi, sexist/anti-feminist /TERF/homophobic/transphobic, racist/bigoted/anti-semetic/Islamaphobic, etc, at any given moment and for no apparent reason, other than the money-power having deemed entity X or Y a target worthy of cancellation.
Of course, no evidence ever need be given for these smears, which is the point. The point being the wielding of a weaponized, amorphous, ever-present threat to any target of the money-power's choosing; a threat from which there is no defense since it's strictly based on insinuation, not facts. And no facts equals no facts to refute.
I used to believe the aggressive woke authoritarians were true believers defending their shaky ideology and lashing out as a means of protecting its shaky foundations, however now I do wonder how many are actually more Machevillian pragmatists, using aggressive cancellation tactics purely as a tool to destroy anyone who they see as a genuine threat to their power position. https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/the-sword-of-safetyism
We either resonate with truth and integrity or we don't. All the intellectualising is just to clarify and confirm our knowing. Sooner or later we will have to start trusting our bullshit detectors and simply dismiss the trolls without a backward glance.
I agree that we should abandon the terms "left" and "right" as meaningful descriptions of set of political ideas. At this point with the splintering of the health freedom movement by the Israel Lobby (I am referring to RFK Jr) that the left and right are essentially controlled by deep state actors and contemporary Robber Baron foundations. To sum up, right and left are ideologies that function to prop up the system, not provide alternatives to it.
Denounced in the same breath as Giorgio Agamben - that's practically winning the politically radical equivalent of the Nobel prize! 😂 Most philosophers I know have had to content ourselves with merely being shadowbanned on Twitter for speaking out.
For anyone who doesn't know who Agamben is, here's a short introduction, written from the quixotic perspective of trying to repair the political centre:
Great article. It's nice getting the scoop on the perspective from France. In many ways this is a good sign, no? If they thought they could safely ignore the real opposition they certainly would, that they feel they cannot safely ignore you and your compatriots indicates that they see your ideas as a legitimate threat to the order that they are comfortable with, and considering what they are defending, they've really payed you a well deserved compliment in many ways. Do you think that their initial smear campaign if it doesn't have their intended effect might evolve into a more constructive and serious debate? That would be an interesting development if they stepped up and really engaged with your ideas.
Thanks, Jordan. Yes, you're right, it's a backhanded compliment in a way. But sadly I don't see any serious debate on the horizon, at least not from those behind the smears. What I would hope for - and what I have been trying to encourage for many years now - is that genuine dissidents look at what people like me and you are actually saying and wake up to the lying narrative they are being fed by sources that really have nothing to do with the ideological cause with which they identify.
This is an excellent expose on the emerging Communist-Industrial complex. It is typical of lying Communist scum to say they are anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, pro-women when in fact they are precisely the opposite. They seek to control the world's wealth, to be the final authority on what men can and cannot do and subjugate all women (and men) to the whims of a supreme centralized power which they alone will control. Surely there must be a way to take down their movement, but it will require a massive awakening of the general population (difficult due to constraints of growing censorship.) the awareness' outlined in this article should be and could be reprinted perhaps on X or Zero Hedge. Communism is largely about taking away the freedoms of men which is why it must be stamped-out.
Just say that the biggest release of methane gas was done by the USA special forces when they nuked the German/Russian Nord Stream II pipeline... Then you can add another STAR to your belt... Imagine right after "antiféministe", "pro-russe"!
Well, maybe when they get tired of the other smears they can trot out some Russophile trope ... with their handlers' permission ... just so things don't get too monotonous at the Ministry of Cancellations, aka Useful Idiot Central.
I reckon they are badly in need of a whole new arsenal of insults. The "antisemitism" one, in particular, has been misused to the point that it is losing all meaning - which is bad news for decent Jewish people everywhere, of course.
Hey Cudenec, as you live in France, do you have any contact with people who were involved with Situationism? Are them alive? Good people they are! I love them, and I know a bit of their history. It's such a sad thing, their rise and fall...
I was in touch with Gianfranco Sanguinetti not so long ago (https://winteroak.org.uk/2020/06/04/occidental-despotism/) , but I think most of the originals must have passed away by now. The Situationists remain an important influence here , though, obviously...
It's really quite simple.
Any thing or one, who does not align at all times and in all things with the Agenda/Narrative, is liable to be labelled as far-right/fascist/Nazi, sexist/anti-feminist /TERF/homophobic/transphobic, racist/bigoted/anti-semetic/Islamaphobic, etc, at any given moment and for no apparent reason, other than the money-power having deemed entity X or Y a target worthy of cancellation.

You're right of course — the "aggressive woke authoritarians" are not a monolith.
I suspect that the majority of foot soldiers are "true believers", whereas the bulk of the officers are "Machevillian pragmatists".

Stay wonderful, Paul! ❤
Thanks Chris

Yes, authoritarians versus freedom lovers.
Creativity, resilience and risk to be banished by our lovable “safetyist authoritarians.”

"Paul Cudenec, un « anarchiste » transphobe, antisémite et antiféministe"
Man... That's just sad! I Thought you could be something new... not the old and boring usual stuff!
Paul, I forgot to ask. What about the Russian/Putin/Kremlin-connected/funded kind of accusation? Has any of that flavour been tossed around?
No, not in my direction.
Just say that the biggest release of methane gas was done by the USA special forces when they nuked the German/Russian Nord Stream II pipeline... Then you can add another STAR to your belt... Imagine right after "antiféministe", "pro-russe"!
A dream come true.
