The more obvious the lie, the more they FORCE YOU to repeat it, to confirm it, to embrace it.

It's to break you as a human being and make you a docile drone.

There are few sentiments more pertinent than this one.

When you look at your peers, and you pity them for their lack of self awareness, and for their blind faith in pop culture rhetoric, know that this very issue is what afflicts them.

They have allowed themselves to be humiliated. They have lost their nobility. They no longer have the spark of creativity and wonder that defines the human condition.

Hitting them with counter narrative facts almost never has any effect. But perhaps try hitting them with this idea. Kind of a Hail Mary attempt, but it might just work.

Never shut up about the fraud. Never let it die. Never move on. Never relent. Make it a battle for them every step of the way.

Great quote. This is what I've been trying to get through to people lately.

When the New York Times prints an article about double-masking or "white supremacy" or a "are light bulbs racist?" piece, they really aren't trying to "convince" you of anything -- they're trying to make you feel out of step with the world, like you no longer belong anywhere, and all your long-held beliefs are tainted. It's some insidious, evil shit.

This oversimplifies the victimhood/ savior feedback loop that has spiralled out of control.

Stop thinking these leftists don't believe their dogma. They do. They are the saviors, you are the evil racists that must be stepped upon.

They need to take your influence form you by taking your job, your promotion, your house, your dignity, you voice, and they insert themselves in your stead for the good of the downtrodden.

They 100% believe this narrative that they are both the savior, and benevolent benefactor.

This is base tribalistic human nature, our brains are not wired to discover truth, they are hardwired to convince ourselves that we are the instruments of righteousness. That our self fulfilling, self centered actions are for the greater good.

Read Dalrymple's book, "Life at the Bottom", published in 2010. He documents what happens to white Europeans when they spend more than a generation as "underclass", that is, taught that there is no such thing as virtue.
