Just before Christmas I travelled 100 miles or so from my home to Aix-en-Provence for a significant political event. This was the launch of a special edition of the review Ecologie & Politique, entitled ‘Les enfants de la machine’, Children of the machine (
One of the symptoms of today's global neoliberal order is how similar responses to any kind of opposition to the regime are thoughout the world (as the global covid response made horribly blatant). It is quite astonishing to see how this "twitterization" of social dynamics has erased cultural differences so easily and so rapidly. Maybe one positive aspect of this uniformization is that if/when the system crashes, it will be a global crash, kind of like the destruction of industrial crop monoculture by an eventual environmental plague.
Perhaps, the answer is to END the Rothschild ECONOMIC FASCISM IMPLEMENTED BY THEIR Philanthropathic Psycho-Predator Monarch/Banker/Corporatist Cabal. About time the Mob congregating in the BASEL Bank of International Agreements WHERE ALL THE 'WAR FOR PROFIT' IN THE LAST 100 YEARS BEGAN is held accountable for ALL THE MISERY, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION THEY'VE CAUSED. Their ESG CULT with the newest Kool-Aid AGENDA to depopulate and enslave all remaining must END NOW.
I wrote a piece last year entitled ¨COVID is the Devil¨ in which I also write about the phenomenon of Wokeness as a type of new Inquisition or Witch Hunt...
From that piece:
COVID skeptics are the new witches, heretics, infidels, blasphemers, communist subversives, and terrorists.
Heresy has been rebranded as “spreading dangerous misinformation”.
Critical thinking has been rebranded as “conspiracy theory”, as if trying to figure out what the rich and powerful are up to is a sinister activity.
“Public Health Experts” are the new priests, who determine what is and what isn’t permitted.
Think about it.
The Devil is invisible. So is COVID.
The Devil can get to you when you’re least expecting it. So can COVID.
The malign influence of the Devil justified the moral authority of the priest class. Because laypeople could never be sure that their thoughts were not being twisted by the Devil, of course they could not be trusted with the task of determining right and wrong for themselves.
Likewise, the average person is no virologist, epidemiologist, or “public health expert”. They are not qualified to decide for themselves what does and doesn’t make sense. They must be told. They must be guided. They must be protected from “dangerous misinformation”. They must be nudged in the direction of Orthodoxy. They much accept the Holy Truth of their rulers as their own. They must surrender their free will. And they must silenced and punished if they dare contradict it, because if they do, they are aiding and abetting the invisible enemy – COVID, like the Devil, is forever at the gates..
The Devil is always scheming. Trouble is always brewing. Another variant could hit at any time.
The pious must remain vigilant, and perform rituals to ward off COVID, for the fiendish virus, much like the Devil, may infect and take possession of the person who lets their guard down.
Consider the world’s obsession with hygiene theatre. Realize that hand-washing has become a religious act, similar to a Catholic crossing themselves. It serves the same purpose – to ward off evil. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, as the old saying goes, which of course means that the more privileged classes are more Godly.
If we each understand ourselves as being potential carriers of viruses that could kill, and consider ourselves ethically responsible for the consequences of its transmission, we wind up in a similar situation, morally, to that of Original Sin.
Original Sin is the notion that human beings are already guilty, from the time they are born, due to the inherited sin of Adam and Eve’s transgression in the Garden of Eden. In the Abrahamic religions, all humans are born guilty.
Likewise, in the COVID religion, you are guilty, because by virtue of being born into an animal body that can host viruses, you might infect others, and others could even die as a result of the part that your sinful body played in a chain of transmission. For this reason, you must always be both cautious and ashamed.
It seems to me like we are being programmed with the same tactics that have been used to control human societies in the past, and that is: make people ashamed of themselves, dependent on you, and afraid. If they are afraid of you, that is good. If they are afraid of an imaginary enemy, and think that they need you for protection, that is much, much better. And if you can make them afraid of one another also, then that is better still.
In his terrific essay The Revenge of the Malthusians and the Science of Limits, Matthew Ehret places the blame for the insane stupidty of post-modernism on the Frankfurt School’s Authoritarian Personality thesis, which was drilled into the minds of all German children in the wake of WWII.
¨The goal was to persuade the German people that the whole fault of Hitler’s rise to power was not to be found in looking for international conspiracies or City of London/Wall Street manipulation… but rather in the “authoritarian psychological-genetic” disposition of the German people themselves. This program was overseen by Tavistock Director Kurt Lewin, who by this time became a leading figure of the Frankfurt School and innovator of a new brainwashing technique called “sensitivity training” which relied heavily on the use of guilt complexes and group pressure to break the will of a target group.¨
Excellent post!
