Deradicalization Strategies for Blue Anon and other Extremists: Do you have a loved one who has been radicalized by the DNC and its communications arms like the mainstream media, think tanks, NGOs, and academia?

In a previous post, we saw how the ADL had been radicalizing Americans into adopting extremist and hateful misconceptions about the abstract, omnipotent evil demiurge known in the establishment as “white people”.[v] In reality, this ill-defined abstraction is used to discriminate against declasse, downscale, and working class descendants of white ethnic immigrants, many of whom descend directly from lineages that spent a thousand years or more in servitude to the aristocratic and business elites of Europe.

Similarly, during a recent Cato Institute event, Adam Posen, head of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said that the concerns about domestic manufacturing (a bipartisan concern) were borne of “the fetish for keeping white males with low education in the powerful positions they are in”.

This statement evidences the paranoid, conspiratorial style that increasingly dominates establishment American communications to the public, and which seems to be encouraging the kinds of primitive, polarizing convictions about group abstractions that led to the horrors of WW2.

In the context of the ADL and Peterson Institute, this paranoid approach is often justified by the goal of deradicalizing or disempowering white supremacists, a group of people constituting a tiny fraction of the American population. While such a goal is a noble one under our civil religion, such nobility does not excuse the ADL or Posen’s dereliction of the duty to promote sober, moderate material consistent with the American civil religion.

The ADL and Posen’s adoption of radically racist superstitions about “white people” demonstrates just how easy it is for even respectable, politically neutral American individuals and institutions to be seduced by extremism. Does Posen’s statement accord with the mission statement of the institution he heads?
