This is one of the most insightful articles I've read in a long time. From explaining the toxicity of political correctness to why our culture seems to be in so much chaos, this article presents one of the master plans that is behind it all. The other and opposite master plan... well, you'll have to read your Bible to get that one :D
Please enjoy the quotes below, read the article and leave a comment!
"Political propaganda aims to mobilize the masses to move an agenda forward. ... Once the masses are mobilized to push for a cause, the propagandists’ goals can be put into law."
"American conservatives are by and large clueless about propaganda methods and tactics.... the Left has been employing social psychology and depth psychology on the masses for decades."
"...the power elites who now control the media, academia, and Hollywood seem to understand social psychology well enough to exploit it on a massive scale. ... Conditioning and nudging the masses into groupthink is a very old trick of all wannabe dictators."
"Family breakdown led to community breakdown, which we can see in the decline of trust in society. Ignorance was cultivated in the schools through political correctness and squashing free debate."
"Why would anyone want to build such a culture of coercion? In a word, power. “Equality” is not the reason for what is happening with such mobs. It is the pretext for what they are doing. Like all such deceptions, its sole purpose is as a vehicle to transfer power from individuals to an increasingly centralized state. The fuel, as usual, is the emotional blackmail of people of goodwill, the uses of mass mobilization to exploit that goodwill, then, finally, to render all such goodwill meaningless."
"Free expression is always the prime target of tyrants because it promotes logic, the search for truth, and friendship. America is exceptional precisely because it rejects the tyrants’ rule."
"So, in the end, freedom truly depends upon breaking down the walls of separation that tyranny builds. It means cultivating the art of friendship, boldly exercising our rights to free association and to communicate our thoughts to others. It means cultivating knowledge instead of cultivating ignorance.
After all, political correctness is primarily a tool for crushing people’s ability to have open conversations in friendship and mutual respect."
And, yes. Friendship IS magic ;)
