With the advent of the internet and more specifically social media platforms on the internet, we are in the beginning stages of a sort of psychological siege which cannot be ignored. Since the means of mass information distribution can no longer be controlled, simply snipped and nullified on a case by case basis once a “non-approved” source gains too much influence, the cat is now out of the bag in terms of narratives and storylines people have easy access to. This can be seen with the ongoing coronavirus saga, where although people get banned and censored from speaking about effective treatment of the illness as well as the efficacy (or more accurately the lack thereof) of gene therapy rebranded “vaccination”, these points of view and opinions can still spread and remain in the public consciousness. Killing the messenger is going on, perhaps more now than ever, but now everybody has the capacity to be a messenger and no longer rely on institutional support such as magazines, newspapers, television networks, or governmental bodies. This is quite a positive development, as all institutions have revealed themselves to be captured by international capital and not serving a function that is beneficial for the average person with an average person’s job, which is a real job and not reading off marketing material for Pfizer or Moderna.
With that said, the fact of the
matter is that truth, or the sharing of truth, does not particularly matter. It
would be comforting to believe that those who go against the accepted
corporate-approved mistruths of reality, that those who are willing to martyr
themselves in the service of being honest at all costs, that they will be
idolized and raised up in stature. It would be quite pleasant to be living in a
fairy tale where people who willingly put their reputations and ability to stay
employed at risk, that these people would have their careers benefited and they
would be benefited for their bravery, but this is not the case.
While we have entered a world where truth
can no longer be kept out of the general public’s view, we have not entered a world
in which this means the truth matters. No, instead of some theosophist utopia,
where “No Religion Higher Than Truth” reigns supreme, we now exist in a world
where the powers that be have dropped the act of truth mattering at all. Truth
does not matter, truth does not dictate policy or rules or standards, truth is
secondary to power.
The ruling class is coming to a
realization I arrived at many years ago, that it does not matter if the truth
is available and easy to access – as long as there can be a price attached to
recognizing the truth which is at least mildly inconveniencing to those who publicly
recognize the truth. Most people regardless of race, gender, or income are not
very intelligent, but that lack of intelligence is overshadowed by their
cowardice and inability to stand for anything which might cause them a mild inconvenience.
The average person does not yet realize
that the truth does not matter, that logic and consistency are not rules by
which human reality is governed, so you have things like Joe Rogan discussing
Ivermectin on his podcast over and over. You have people subscribing to
podcasts and substacks of ostensibly right or left wing people. These podcasts
and substacks provide journalism and analysis and insight which are accurate
and honest in the manner that traditional media as well as most world
governments have proven themselves dishonest. Some of these podcasts and
substacks are financially successful to a degree which is insane, proving two
things: Firstly, that the average person genuinely desires the truth, and
secondly that the average person is living under the delusion that if the “truth
gets out there” and “lies are exposed”, then the increasingly deranged
nightmare that we are living in will somehow end. This is, of course,
completely incorrect: the truth doesn’t matter.
What is coming is not some sort of renaissance
of truth or enlightenment, but rather a drawn out, multi-decade process in
which even the most rose-glasses optimist dullard slowly comes to grips that
their favorite writer or podcaster, no matter how accurately they describe the
world or expose corruption and lies, is just like them: completely impotent and
incapable of turning analysis or observation into real world transformation.
The man screaming two plus two equals four is technically correct, but the man
screaming two plus two equals four in a world where all the powers that be
insist two plus two equals five will never be able to make the media or the
government (the same thing) state the truth.
What is coming is not some sort of
revolution or reorganization of society in which the truth tellers are put in
charge, but rather a creeping nihilistic despair for the person capable of
critical thought – which is increasingly an exception since income and career
opportunities are increasingly linked to walking in lockstep with increasingly
deranged and farcical untruths. For those capable of taking stock of reality as
it is rather than how they would prefer it to be, soon it will be completely
impossible to hide the fact that the “plucky underdog” does not win in the real
world, even if the “plucky underdog” is completely right and their opponents
are transparently dishonest and abusive. For most people, this sort of
realization will break them psychologically. To realize that you can’t win if
you’re honorable, that the “good guys” aren’t really a thing, that life is a
meatgrinder that isn’t rewarding honesty or integrity, to realize all of this
is to suck the wind out of the sails of most people, because most people need
to believe that their work is for a good purpose, that they are part of the
nonexistent “good guys” in history.
The psychological siege that has begun
and will last for generations is the final culling of those with a backbone or
spine. No longer will ignorance really exist for those who are well meaning and
capable and intelligent, the internet has removed the walled gardens of
existence that allowed for people to work inside the system and retain their
sense of “being a good person”, a sense that is required for any sort of
inspired or optimistic project. Now, if you are somebody with a good job or
good standing in the traditional, established world, you must consciously
choose to look the other way, consciously choose to lie by omission about the
abuses that are happening to people you know are better than you, more talented
than you, more qualified than you, because those people have chosen to have a
spine and stand up for the truth, and been marginalized for it.
The societies of every first and
second world country are now selecting for people psychologically similar to
Judas, people who will sell out their friends and family and allow them to be
punished for telling the truth, as long as Judas is allowed to collect a
paycheck and participate in society. What sort of world is being created? Not
one where honesty is valued, where daring to be excellent or stand up for
beliefs is valued, but rather a society of ants.
This essay is not to suggest some
course of action or to pretend there is any way out of what is happening and
will continue to happen, but rather to be a sort of snapchat from a
non-participant in what is occurring. I am on the wrong side of the
psychological siege, so are more of my friends, and so are all the people I
respect as equals. I have lost the ability to honestly discuss anything beyond
facile topics with most friends and family, I look around me and all I see are people
who are not wearing non-effective facemasks, but rather people who are wearing
mental gimp-suits and ball gags. I am surrounded by those who have surrendered
their individuality for the “benefit” of being accepted by equally powerless
people who have surrendered their individuality. There’s nothing to be done at
this point, the infrastructure has been built and participation in the vast
majority of reality is contingent on being psychologically pegged and turnt out
by abusive incestuous pimps.
