Dear Friends,
It seems to me, woke, political correctness and the ostracism, are channelization devices. They steer our emotions in the direction that the elite want. Are you outraged? At what? Whatever the elite tell you to be outraged at. That’s what. The elite want us livid at Make America Great Again, Christianity, and white people. Those are the enemies as defined by our elites today. Islamists slaughtering people at a peace concert, whole villages in Africa and the continuing Armenian genocide, are nothing to be alarmed at. Our elites fret about Islamophobia instead. As protesting a stolen election is the greatest threat to democracy since Solon established the Athenian system. Our outrage is channeled by political correctness, outrage and fear of social ostracism, to serve the elite’s desire for unlimited power.
The media is the propaganda arm of the ruling elites. They tell us what to hate, love and be outraged at. Those things that the elite don’t want us justly angry about, are covered up with censorship, distracted from and lied about. People would be justifiably outraged if the media reported accurately about the deaths and side effects of the Covid vaccine. That they haven’t, shows the elite don’t want us outraged at those deaths. The deaths of Hamas terrorists however, are of great concern to the international elites, so their deaths are front and center in the propaganda machine. Heck, reporters were embedded in the Nov 7 terror attacks. Abetting the beheadings, rapes and torture… very progressive! Yet your not outraged by that, because you haven’t been told its okay to be outraged, by the elite.
We are largely controlled by our emotions. Those who can channel our emotions, control us. To a degree we would never believe possible. Add the innovation of mass media, and you have the perfect recipe for despotism, masquerading as democracy. All the elite need do is channel us to feel whatever they want. Ostracism is crushing. People need to feel included. So, the mere threat of ostracism is enough to hold most people in line, with even the most absurd thought rules. Because to be ostracized is to be cast out, alone and without friends. A state of affairs that’s intolerable to all but the most introverted, independent and disagreeable. That’s why the ostracism is so effective at controlling people. The emotional toll is so great folks will do almost anything to avoid it.
Then there’s that wonderful tool of manipulation… demagoguery. High unemployment? Blame employers. High inflation? Blame retailers. Demagoguery is a form of political correctness. The politically correct… the in crowd, the right kind of people, or the “woke,” are above reproach. While those not in the group are incapable of virtue. The incorrect are all racists, filthy, slave material, etc… No one wants to be one of those people. The west’s version of Dalits. Untouchables. To stay out of that group, people will do anything asked of them. How many Jews are “self loathing,” and despise Zionists because of this? How many white Christian’s hate white supremacists, maga people and the basic tenets of Christianity? Notions imposed by demagoguery, the threat of ostracism and political correctness.
It’s not possible to disconnect from our emotions. The solution to political correctness and ostracism then, is to point them out, and ridicule the people who use them. Turn the tables on elites who would manipulate us with our emotions. Be outraged at political correctness, censorship and ostracism. Use your emotion to the opposite of what the elite want. Instead of hating the vilified group, call out the demagogues. Keep your eyes open, and don’t rely on a single source of information… they’re all biased, all trying to manipulate you in some way, and so untrustworthy. That being said, some are better than others, legacy media being the worse. If you find yourself in a channel of the elite’s making, climb out, look around and act accordingly. Let’s stop being patsies to their manipulation.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
