There's a greater entity that controls society that is beyond our political systems.
There will eventually be a purge of anyone that lacks a certain level of loyalty.
I wish there was a way I could articulate this without sounding crazy. Essentially look at gangstalking... There's people telling the truth but the truth is purposely laced with controlled conspiracies to make the people that hold truths look crazy. Discernment of truth and conspiracy is key and it's such a psychological mind fuck that even the people that are gangstalked get lost in it and eventually lose themselves.
This can't be fixed by utilizing traditional methods our systems of politics are built upon. That's not a call for action... But a call to understanding the gut wrenching reality of the situation. Because it seems like genuine authentic humanity is in checkmate.
In a way, it's also kind of blatant if you look back at the past 10 years and how nothing seems to socially make sense in a natural organic human way. Like orchestrated social event planning to manipulate psychology to lead to a certain path. (Look into generations of warfare, specifically 5th and 6th iirc.) (*)
Something has humanity in the palms of its hands, and it's completely detatched from any semblance of authentic natural law or "God". ...and like I said previously I believe it's beyond what regular people perceive to be America, Democracy, and Government. It's not simply about trump and the right, or the left anymore... That's effectively a distraction. It also might be a transnational effort.
(*) Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is characterized by non-kinetic military actions such as misinformation, cyberattacks, and social engineering, focusing on manipulating information and perceptions rather than traditional combat. It represents a shift in warfare where the battlefield is often virtual and the adversaries are not always clearly defined.
Sixth-generation warfare (6GW) is a contested idea that focuses on targeting an opponent’s cognition—perception, belief, and decision-making—rather than just territory or networks. It is described as using artificial intelligence and autonomous systems across multiple domains (land, sea, air, cyber, and space) along with “cognitive operations” and algorithmic decision-making.
...I could go on... One of the biggest things within our control right now might be ICE and datacenters. Tldr... Datacenters are for their surveillance and ICE isn't just going to be used for immigration issues. It's all there to see and it's easy to see once you see past the bullshit marketed theater drama they push to pull your heart strings. Emotional people are easiest to control.... That's why they keep the left and right pissed off.
I think you're on the wrong track. Reality is still immensely accessible to you if you go out in the world and critically check the information you've been given against the human reality out there.
Don't lose yourself to the despair or confusion.
Plenty of things make social sense from the last 10 years in local communities, national contexts and international contexts. Both the good and the bad, e.g. a broad normalisation of LGBT and a backlash against it, progress in renewable energy and fights against different diseases, the rise of vaccine skeptics after COVID, the pandemic itself.
Or look at the "Ceuta crisis" in Europe. Images spread, right wing panic ensues, critical media investigates, it's clear that the real situation is completely under control, the whole story becomes about an opportunistic right wing trying to create panic about immigration and left wing Spain.
All of this has played out in a natural, organic human way. Yes, social media has been a big, ugly shift in how communities work, and yes, they definitely work on purpose to simplify things that would previously die off most likely. But if you go outside and open your eyes, the world can make plenty of sense without some inhuman conspiracy beyond regular greed.
And please don't say that anyone that disagrees with you are just victims of propaganda, that's the ideal way to detach yourself from reality.
I think what's happening is everyone is operating entirely for their own self interest, and after awhile those interests start syncing up. So there's no conscious conspiracy, but people are working together towards a common goal.
It would be more comforting if it were a conscious conspiracy, at least then there would be a goal set by conscious people. But I don't think there is actually anyone at the wheel just all of the parts of a machine working together while we drive off a cliff.
Social media is definitely used to control people and yeah making people hate is the way they're controlling people. But it's a mess of foreign interests and moneyed interests. Foreign interests don't want societal cohesion in their adversaries to weaken them. Moneyed interests don't want cohesion so we can't get it together enough to tax them and regulate their businesses. So they promote radicalization and demonization of centrists and disgusting politics on both the far right and far left to keep everyone divided.
Don't worry. You sound perfectly sane to those that have spent any time investigating the big movements in global society. Good work..
This was very well put. Thank you.
