I believe this is the philosophical treatise known as Pepe’s Allegory of the Cave

LOL. This kind of reminds me of an Ayn Rand quote (I'm probably getting this wrong) "Always trust the verdict of your own mind."

It reminds me of what a Political Science professor told us in college. The famous idea goes you may be able to beat an animal into submission, but should you attempt to beat a man he only stands taller and becomes fierce. He pointed out the second half was never shared. You beat others and shout out their 'crimes', that is what will terrify a man.

It is rarely being in the moment that cause a man to kneel,, but thinking of when that moment comes and allowing the seed of doubt to bloom. That is what can break a man.

He cautioned against otherizing or demonizing the person. He pressed for attacking their philosophy. A man with a just philosophy and righteousness in his goal is a revolutionary, those without are brigands and must be treated accordingly.

Back in the early 2000, when I was in his class he pointed out Antifa. Said to watch them as best you can, as they are the brigands we need to worry about next.

this is all true. I want to add in that patients are continually harmed by medical therapies, and then told over and over it did not happen. Over the last 4 years, I've seen a lot of people wake up to the phenomena of medical gaslighting, and this has actually been one of the main issues I've seen that has caused liberals to flip to supporting trump as the Democratic Party has gone all in with big tech and big pharma (which both constantly reaffirm the gas lighting, as does the MSM)

All democrats do is gaslight because they cant talk about actual issues. All they can do is lie and call us racist because they know the truth makes them look bad. They employ the same tactic as China's "wolf warriors", they deflect from all questions and criticisms and only attack the opposition. We are in the midst of a communist take over, these people don't care about the truth or the american people. They will lie, cheat, steal and do whatever it takes to steal this election. We must crush them once and for all this election, or America is over. This is our last chance to destroy the deep state.

They gaslight because they reject any and every kind of limitation, including consequences, responsibility, basic reality itself. There is a limitation in being a man, in that they're then not women, and even that much is too much for them. They're solipsistic, wanting absolute, anarchic freedom and rejecting the notion that it's not possible.

By it's very nature gaslighting, brainwashing and propaganda only work when you are saturated with them

That's always how it is when socialists are allowed to have any power. They incessantly spew lies and attack anyone who dares to recognize the truth. They demand submission to their lies as a way to break the spirit of others.

Leftism is evil and inhuman.
