First off, I am honored to be included in your list of recommendations—it looks like I’m in good company!
“Who will have the guts to be what they wanna be?”
Ever since I started writing to unmask totalitarianism and awaken the sleeping before tyranny triumphs, I have been growing increasingly emboldened, and it is a liberating, exhilarating feeling. I never thought I might be able to do this full-time, but now I know I must, because it has become an all-consuming passion, and everything else pales in significance given the high stakes we are facing.
“Are we just not collectively thinking?”
I would say that is the *last* thing we want to do as that is what has gotten us into this mass hypnosis mess. Here’s one of *many* salient quotes on this from Gustave Le Bon’s “The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind”:
“[A]n individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd in action soon finds himself—either in consequence of the magnetic influence given out by the crowd, or from some other cause of which we are ignorant—in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotised individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotiser. The activity of the brain being paralysed in the case of the hypnotised subject, the latter becomes the slave of all the unconscious activities of his spinal cord, which the hypnotiser directs at will. The conscious personality has entirely vanished; will and discernment are lost. All feelings and thoughts are bent in the direction determined by the hypnotiser. Such also is approximately the state of the individual forming part of a psychological crowd. He is no longer conscious of his acts. In his case, as in the case of the hypnotised subject, at the same time that certain faculties are destroyed, others may be brought to a high degree of exaltation. Under the influence of a suggestion, he will undertake the accomplishment of certain acts with irresistible impetuosity.”
Also, I think you would appreciate Robert Gore’s “Everything I Know About Business I Learned From The Godfather.” I am grateful for his work at Straight Line Logic (https://straightlinelogic.com/) and am thankful to have him as a subscriber and friend.
I wanted to touch on this part of your comment when I had more time:
"I have been growing increasingly emboldened, and it is a liberating, exhilarating feeling"
This is EXACTLY what we need. I'm right there with you. I had danced around the truth that I am not jabbed while it was still seen as "shameful" by the mainstream "thinker" to not be jabbed. That changed for me after Biden's mandate announcement in September. From that point on, I've been overt. We need to normalize skeptical thinking not stigmatize it. The reason why I'm commenting and sharing things to the degree that I can is because I want people to know there are a lot more of us than they might think. Just because the cable news voices might be the loudest, it does NOT mean they actually represent the will of the people. The reason why I wrote this piece the way that I did is to challenge people. You might think you're reading about fictitious gangsters, but it turns out you're not. What do you believe? What are the facts? Does it actually make sense scientifically to do what we're doing? If you don't think so, it's time. Stand up. Fight for what is right for God's sake. Or you deserve what you get when you become the next target. Keep fighting the good fight, Margaret. You do awesome work and amazing communities are going to be built out of this moment.
Faybomb, thanks for your electrifying response and commitment to resisting tyranny! I completely agree that we need to normalize skepticism—it is a healthy and necessary part of a free democratic republic, and the absence/criticism of independent thought is what has led us down the road to totalitarianism.
So glad you appreciated Robert and his writing. He’s a good bad guy, like you :-)
This is a great comment and I now realize the “collectively thinking” line was poorly written. Totally on the same page! Thinking as a group is the problem because it means there isn’t any actual thinking happening. I’ll check out Robert’s work! And more than happy to share yours :)
Thanks, Faybomb, and I figured that was the case :-) I think you’ll appreciate Robert’s work. He recently did a two-part series titled “Pure Excrement” that is pure gold, too :-)
