Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, “birds of a feather flock together.” We can take from this that like-minded people hang out together. Moreover, this suggests that when people hang out together and support one another… they are like-minded. It seems obvious that people who detest each other are less likely to hang around together and support one another. So when we see disparate factions forming coalitions, we should understand that they have like minds. They must share a goal. This must be true, or else they wouldn’t link up if they are at odds. This means that when a coalition forms, a smart person can discern the goal of the alliance. With a Venn diagram of goals, the intersection is the reason they are connecting. This is a tool to understand if a faction is working for our good or its own good.

In high schools we see this paradigm at its apex. Cliques form based on attitudes, goals, and lifestyle. The book series that includes “That Was Then This Is Now” is about how cliques can get out of hand. As people age, we don’t get smarter and wiser, we get more clandestine. We still have cliques but we call them the lodge, political parties, and our friends. This is as much an empirical reality as it is an anecdotal truth. That’s why if you meet a member of the Knights of Columbus, you are almost certainly meeting a God loving, Catholic, and good man who seeks to improve the lot of humanity by his works. If you meet a human slaver, we call the human traffickers today to whitewash the crime, they will almost certainly be an immoral, heartless, and material person who would strangle you for a dime.

People seek others who share their minds because it’s comfortable. When everyone in a group agrees, ideas run parallel and so entangle. When there is disagreement ideas run at angles creating friction and disengagement. Group cohesiveness depends on group agreement, then. If a faction rises within a group that is at odds, it is always ejected if they can’t reconcile the difference. During the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the IRA often ejected factions that became liabilities. Elite theory says that the elite will ostracize a member who disagrees with the group. The insane reaction to Donald Trump’s election is a perfect example of that in action. The reality is that we will go to great lengths to be around those we agree with, and fight to get away from those we disagree with.

So when we see Democrats agreeing with Islamists, EU elites forming a coalition with Islamists, and globalists aligning with Islamists, we have to understand it’s because they share a goal, and agree on the means. This must be true otherwise they wouldn’t come together, they would repel each other. A Venn diagram of Democrat and Islamist goals seems not to overlap however. Globalists must align with some Islamist goal. Other Islamist goals, forcing everyone to worship Allah, enslaving women, exterminating the Jews, etc… are probably not top priorities for Democrats, EU elites, and globalists. What then is the overlap? I believe it’s world domination. Not to Allah, but to a globalist utopia where you will own nothing and be happy. Like Winston in Orwell’s 1984.

Armed with this knowledge we can understand why Democrats take the positions that they take. Demanding the extermination of Christian prayer from the public square but allowing Muslim ones. Imagine the outcry should a Muslim valedictorian be hushed up at a high school graduation? In Britain, a woman was arrested for praying silently, even as a bit later the Islamist call to prayer echoed through those same streets. The Islamists and globalists support the Islamist takeover of Europe, Canada, and the US, because today they align. Both subscribing to the adage, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” In the case of the globalist/Islamist coalition, the enemy is Western, capitalist, and Christian civilization. This means Islamists and globalists (EU elites and US Democrats) are birds of a feather.

Sincerely,
John Pepin
