Every now and then I hear public commentators mention that left thinking includes hive-mind organization, while right thinking possesses personal opinions rather than group goals. To put it another way, liberals are great at organizing, conservatives are pretty bad at it. Really we're talking about one's human nature. Some people are like that; some are not. Much grows from that truth.

@Aureus has made good suggestions and a well-thought-out post. I agree with almost everything here; but I don't see the key that will allow conservatives to be coherent; it is their nature to be individual rather than committed to a common vision.

Donald Trump could have been the one to weld conservatives into a single vision- but either he doesn't possess whatever it takes, or he has been so poisoned and subverted that his leadership has been rudderless. There's a study out there somewhere that found that over the past twenty years, political speeches have employed simpler and simpler language, and an increase in sentiments over facts.

I saw a clip this morning of Vladimir Putin talking about how American elections are all fine, but a couple of days afterward the elected person is visited by some men in black suits who tell him how it works. "Or else", if you're lucky. Not if you're not.

I have thought about the level of blackmail and terrorism that goes into those visits. If you are an official, and every time you don't do what you are told (like "stand down the police") one of your children or an uncle disappears...well. And people who inhabit Saidit will have heard about the international trafficking, rape and murder of thousands of children every year. Is it all bullshit? I don't know, I only have the internet; and though I don't watch TV, I bet I'd never hear of it there.

So we're at war against a merciless, honourless psychopathic machine that spurns "your democracy" as nothing more than a speed bump, if that. No progress can be made until the real enemy is exposed and addressed; more and more, I'm thinking that is a worldwide crime syndicate (a loose one but with concrete goals) funded and supported by the wealthiest people on earth...who somehow think they will be safe once the rest of us are subdued. Which is debatable.

We are at war, but not with each other. I see that as the central problem, beyond what @Aureus has said. Who is that, and where are they? That's what we need to know, before we begin assembling the response @Aureus recommends.

We have a small army of private journalists who are trying to tell us things. They endanger themselves regularly by digging into things that "aren't anyone's bussiness". The recent purges on Youtube and Twitter should tell you that. But as long as the Machine owns the government, the police and the courts, "proof" is just going to be brushed aside.

It's impossible to reason with someone who won't listen and doesn't care what you think. Who has the power to make you invisible in the larger world. So what now? It is already a war, just nobody wants to call it. And it's not with who you think.

Authoritarian rule appears to have become the new world religion overnight. I guess the motto is, "It doesn't matter what happens to you. But I must end up on this side of the fence." The depopulation program (virus, as a first shot in the war on people) is causing a lot of scrambling for survival, and the real authoritarians are safely distant.

People like George Soros, Bill Gates, the Clintons, Merkel, Macron, Bezos, Zuckerberg, et al. are frontmen; program supervisors. And there are thousands of people, from ordinary workers seeking security in a job, to world state Governors, Justin Trudeau, and many world leaders, lining up to help them step on their fellow humans, for whom they have only contempt. That's you and me, bub.

The society depicted in The Hunger Games is just around the corner...with a less likely ending, if you can imagine that. Disarmament, disenfranchisement, and economic ruin of citizenry are necessary steps, but the imbalance of technology is already so great that it's hard to imagine a free world as an outcome of this contest. The forest beyond the fence in the movie, where the heroine honed her hunting skills, will be unavailable because nowhere will escape full surveillance. (That was likely a continuity glitch in the movie, anyway.)

A new world order is appearing, that will have to live out its age and collapse like all previous empires, from within. But brace yourself. It could take quite a while, even as Earth measures these things.

It's all impressions from the Internet; so judge accordingly. My sources are Amazing Polly, Corbett Report, The Last American Vagabond, YouAreFreeTV, and a few others. I'm not free to express any of these ideas among friends or family; I've lost a few friends. It's been suggested that I have dementia (I'm rather old) or schizophrenia. People don't seem to have the mental framework to take in this view. Or maybe they're right! (grin)

And, I dearly hope I'm wrong! My best to you all, and thanks, OP.

There's an aspect of Saidit (and similar sites) that is not discussed much; for me, it boils down to "Be a good audience", by which I mean that posters with quality things to say deserve a good response. Whether you agree or not, part of the deal here is to have something to say (when it seems right to you) - dialogue is the point.

I live quite close to this person, a hundred km or so. What amazes me beyond the effrontery of the judge's ruling is that it has almost no local reporting. There is a pretty efficient blackout within the nearby information systems, online and newspapers alike.
Which suggests to me that behind the scenes there is a strong agreement to affirm this attitude in the face of (what would be) popular opinion if people knew about it. How, how can this be? It flies straight in the face of everything human or even practical.
Even the father has not, to my knowledge, tried to maintain that the girl "cannot" do the sex change; the most available seems to be to ask that the decision to move ahead be delayed until the person who wants to trans has reached legal majority.
So even the idea that waiting four years to make your own decision legally, is to be prevented, silenced, deplatformed.
I've been saying for forty years that I'm baffled when the electorate in a democracy elects someone who works completely against their own interests; this matter takes that beyond baffling out into psychosis. Yet it passes for "society" .... I don't understand

As philosophy, these ideas work very well and are admirable. I'm happy to agree to that point.

In terms of modern experience I think to ignore, or not pay attention, to an unfortunately growing number of topics only leaves psychopath malefactors free to act without scrutiny- or to put it another way, the bastards can get away with anything at all if we don't keep an eye on them.

I feel responsibility to try to keep informed about some things; it would be so unfair if no one even knew what those schemers are up to.

To recap: it would be great to be like that, if I could live with myself.

Thanks for this mild essay. You've brought back to my mind a writing by one of my favorite authors, Richard Brautigan. It may not speak directly to your musings; but perhaps like a Bob Dylan song, whether it has meaning or not is not the important part of it-

“I guess you are kind of curious as to who I am, but I am one of those who do not have a regular name. My name depends on you. Just call me whatever is in your mind. If you are thinking about something that happened a long time ago: Somebody asked you a question and you did not know the answer. That is my name. Perhaps it was raining very hard. That is my name. Or somebody wanted you to do something. You did it. Then they told you what you did was wrong—“Sorry for the mistake,”—and you had to do something else. That is my name. Perhaps it was a game you played when you were a child or something that came idly into your mind when you were old and sitting in a chair near the window. That is my name. Or you walked someplace. There were flowers all around. That is my name. Perhaps you stared into a river. There was someone near you who loved you. They were about to touch you. You could feel this before it happened. Then it happened. That is my name.”

One of the few individual solutions I can think of would be enjoying the decline, and participating in enjoyable pursuits rather than focusing on politics. Unfortunately, mainstream conservatives doing that is one of the main reasons we're here today.

That is so; I am puzzled as to solutions. I've lost friends and family because of mentioning the slightest hint of the things I see as self-evident. Have had to sit back and wait to see if developments prove me right. Except that will be far too late to avoid the situation planned for us. Far from showing interest, people recoil as if I'd bitten them. The strength of propaganda I suppose; yet I sit and wonder: if they are victims, what am I doing that is different from them?
Well one thing I suppose is I'm always interested in reasonable discussion, even if I don't buy the opposing argument. Not always possible. I've been angrily dismissed, even got hit once. Never raised my voice, never tried to belittle the other person...it is truly baffling. Conversations that would have been easy, even enjoyable, five years ago are now impossible. "Dismissed"! Slam.
Truly, we have competent adversaries. This very division has been their method at work, IMO.

  You may have noticed this post, I found it shortly after seeing and answering yours.  I believe there are ideas here that need to be taken on board.  
   https://saidit.net/s/LateStageCapitalism/comments/74n0/the_ideology_of_incorporation_long/

    As another facet of the topic, I have heard some, Dan Rubin in particular, suggest that 'wokeness' has become a religion, rather than a political approach;  and as such is defended on faith and cult loyalty rather than any matter of fact.  Which makes such people unapproachable, back to what I said before: you can't reason with someone who will not hear you.  George Carlin, speaking of the Muslim encroachment (years ago, before the current diaspora) said, "They will win, you know.  There is no defense against fanaticism, and fanaticism is entirely relentless."  

    It's such a broad perspective of damage.

One of the few individual solutions I can think of would be enjoying the decline, and participating in enjoyable pursuits rather than focusing on politics. Unfortunately, mainstream conservatives doing that is one of the main reasons we're here today.

     Very true.  You will have seen the meme running around that describes the wheel of history:  "Strong men make good times:  Good times make weak men: Weak men make bad times: Bad times make strong men."  
     It may be a matter of waiting for the wheel; I also have envisioned the Yin-Yang wheel in this respect.  But I have pangs of sorrow for the generations it may take for that wheel to turn, and sorrow for the implacable narcissism that would be willing to sacrifice billions of people to a miserable fate, for the sake of their own comfort and salacious delight.  

  I've recently encountered a very spiritually minded lady who pointed out to me (again) that reaching out into consciousness, coming to an encounter with one's inner self, there is the knowledge that everything is perfect; nothing is ever out of place, no matter what it looks like; and it isn't our business to be occupied with the spiritual development of anyone but ourselves. 
   That's a pretty quiet spot in all this;  I kind of envy her her nonchalance.  I suspect she would be of the same mind right to the last breath of starvation.  I find that worthy of respect, it's not my path but I get it.

There is only one being in the universe, and we are tiny components of it.
It has no volition: meaning it's not good, or bad. Things happen by chance and by choice, beautiful and ugly, and there is no naming or controlling any of it outside of our own choices. Even those choices are restricted by our limited understanding; but that doesn't mean we're not a part of it, as much as any rock or tree or ocean. All those things, including us, have being.

One of the great lines of my life came from "Hotel California" by the Eagles; "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

Not sure that's the right question. Endorsing it or not involves your opinion (to which you are entitled), but just like prohibition, it has little or nothing to do with 'demand'.

Sexual markets will always be with us. They always have been, and by comparison with the past, we are relatively repressed. It makes sense to me that with legalization could come the opportunity to increase everyone's safety and health.

The problem with this, as with other things we are seeing, is that it opens the door to degeneracy. IMO children are exposed to a level of sexuality these days that is harmful because they don't get to develop on their own, their consent and timing of knowledge is removed by a permissive society. Especially now with the internet and porn, an eight-year-old with no filters can learn things I still have not figured out for myself at 72. So how to deal with that...

I think we are all, worldwide, going to have to follow the wheel of history on its downward circle. To reform the police now would require a complete overhaul of society's moral fabric; which is torn and partly unraveled by design.

This gives me no pleasure, but I've seen it coming for years as society's softness and entitlement and unwillingness to seek real truth has allowed the rot to creep in. We're in the "weak men make bad times" part of the circle, and there's no way out but through. Not that it's any consolation, but I think we've hardly seen anything yet of how bad it could get.

I realize my comment is not directly about police; I say this as I do to show they are willing tools in the hands of people whose contempt for 'the rest of us' is bottomless. So the police can be expected to release their psychological poison as they have been programmed to do.

It's a mark of our naivety as a Western society, with our kind and forgiving social contract, that we would allow things to get this far. In a way I take some pride in that- it means we were able to have empathy and understanding of others for long enough to establish a high level of social trust, at least at one point in history. Proves it can be done; we're going to have to start all over.

A Hard Rain’s A‐Gonna Fall Bob Dylan

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son And where have you been, my darling young one I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son And what did you see, my darling young one I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin' I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin' Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded with hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singin' And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Songwriters: BOB DYLAN

This article has echoes in my life, in a small town on the other side of the continent. I'm a home renovator, and though the "reasons-for" are different, there is a familiarity to this woman's statements.

It's emotionally colder in her world, though; I enjoy the trust of being handed the keys to the house at the beginning of the job, and the satisfaction of performing without supervision. Most of my employers are more or less from my own world, though of course they have more money than I do (I couldn't afford to hire myself).

A good comment that illustrates the current problem, but also has implications for entire languages. I've sometimes mused about how the fact I speak only English has limited my experience of the world's cultures: I'm sure there are many words in other languages that don't have corresponding English terms.

I believe we are limited even by the language we have even without these doomed attempts to make us stupid by forbidding concepts. My guess is humor will rush to fill the gap, once the shock of being programmed like this fades a bit...i.e. Russian Cold War jokes.

There's new footage about that. The police removed the gates and welcomed people in. They were prepared inside the building: someone led a faction of photographers up two flights of stairs to get where they 'should be' .

Someone should follow up on those deaths and provide reliable evidence. Very sorry for them, and their families. But we have to know if we're being scammed. Don't know how to do that.

Isn't that odd- the picture seems much like a Gary Larsen cartoon, a little muzzy in execution- but that's not Larsen's signature, surely? (Confirming the mindset, haha)

kazenmusic · 2019-08-28T14:41:00+00:00

First time I've ever wanted to write, LOL ~! Thanks!

kazenmusic · 2019-07-10T13:24:41+00:00

Well, thank you for removing those ones I reported! They began to appear in s/business some while ago, and I paid little attention, thinking "Maybe this is one of the purposes of the sub" ... but when they began to appear in really unlikely subs, I started to report; then I couldn't understand why other people hadn't reported them already, so I left off. Then the other day, someone complained and I realized I was looking at an actual transgression. So good- now I won't be wondering if I have any right to bitch. (grin)

One interesting side light on all this is the difficulty faced by Health Authorities, of proving that their vaccines are truly safe and scientific, and not a horror-show broth of deadly preservatives and secret pogroms.

I don't know how I would try to deal, if it were my responisibility- which thankfully it is not.

kazenmusic · 2019-03-05T12:59:54+00:00

I don't know where you get your energy and time, but if you want the job I've enjoyed your contributions elsewhere and would support this.

Certainly we are having "interesting times" in Canada; as in the sardonic blessing "Doomed to live in interesting times".

The narrator of this video gives me the heebie-jeebies. He's also the narrator of dozens if not hundreds of other similar videos on different topics, and although the video production is decent or better, right up to super-slick like this one, his voice contains many subtle hints of arrogance and lack of education, if not more.

It seems impossible for him to say the word "hundred" without it coming out as "hunnert". Saying long vowels in "the" and "a" may be some attempt at authority, but they betray an ignorance of vocal discipline. I think his native language is English, but he has altered his production voice into something similar to the old-fashioned "Mid-Atlantic Accent".

For me, it robs any other authenticity. Ignorance does not speak wisdom. The artifacts themselves are wonderful, beyond my vocabulary to describe them...but I've learned that if I want to keep inner peace while seeing these videos, I must turn on the closed captions; to coin a phrase, "this guy's a phony".

I've no opinion about the truth of the script content; but it's grating to listen to this boorish speaker, and it robs the whole thing of quality.

kazenmusic · 2019-01-06T19:28:14+00:00

Forced to my view by emotional sensitivity. I simply can't bear to spend all day under a shower of psychological poison; just as it's possible to live too long, it's possible to know too much.

Thanks for your kind reply.

kazenmusic · 2018-12-30T16:52:50+00:00

Wishing you very well on your journey, which must of course be your own. Mine's fine, I'm happy with the flow.

As a brief glimpse of my overview, I'll mention that this has all happened before many times, albeit without these particular modern tools for control. I'm quite an appreciator of the I Ching, a rather cryptic map of the rolling wheel of yin/yang. "What is full must empty. What is empty must fill". Though I consult it very seldom, I approve of the concept.

"The fool on the hill sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round" ....

I appreciate the chance to discuss it with you. Salute, fellow traveller!

kazenmusic · 2021-03-08T00:30:42+00:00

That was quite valuable, thank you. Like many other people, I've encountered Jordan Peterson facing his enemies, and heard him talk about the general energies of his study. This was a new aspect: the man himself in the pursuit of his own clarity, through the support and the needs of his counseling client. I'm not likely to buy the book, but I appreciate this demonstration of the attitude he takes when he's not having to arm-wrestle with someone who wants to vilify him. All that resistance he experiences! I think it says far more about the limitations of his decriers than it does about him. Is this the book that caused some of the staff of Penguin to quit in tears and pain? Histrionic bullshit, methinks.

kazenmusic · 2021-01-29T04:53:26+00:00

It's just occurred to me looking at this pic, remembering back at all the years of "plastic surgery gone wrong" pics- that look, that "gone wrong" look, is the same every time, more or less. Hm.

kazenmusic · 2021-01-09T13:38:13+00:00

replying to my comment in order to add a link: you probably saw this, it's just a few entries later than your question. In my opinion, something that was already questionable both morally and practically has now been taken into the stratosphere by something resembling Artificial Intelligence... https://saidit.net/s/cryptocurrency/comments/7528/create_a_fully_decentralized_forsage_mlm_clone/

kazenmusic · 2021-01-09T13:25:32+00:00

Maybe get some MLM people to approach you and see how you feel about it from the receiving point of view?

kazenmusic · 2021-01-08T15:29:25+00:00

As a contributory issue, you may be interested in an internet figure called "Electroverse- Documenting the next Grand Solar Minimum and Pole Shift" - the author doesn't mention Geoengineering but publishes a good deal of news around climate, as opposed to "climate change". Lots of graphs and current data reporting.

Thank you, I've saved your post to a compendium I'm making of thoughts on this matter...what we face. Or maybe "the Faceless that we face".
I wonder only about your last sentence, "Nobody enjoys being a cog in a wheel". IMO some do; to the point where they'll ignore unbelievable suffering and damage as long as they are not dislodged. Which is part of how we got here.

kazenmusic · 2020-12-17T14:05:44+00:00

mirror?

kazenmusic · 2020-12-17T01:26:03+00:00

Why are we learning of this now? I saw a scathing remark elsewhere about Assange helping the State Department, but I think he was trying to keep human beings alive by not doxxing them.
I wonder what the cost in human life was from all that? And for what profit? A couple of headlines? Pretty pricey 15 minutes of fame.

kazenmusic · 2020-07-23T05:16:24+00:00

The "Johnson Johnson" series by Dorothy Dunnett. Whimsical spy vs. spy, maidens in distress, sun-drenched Europe long before any current crap started. Great storytelling.

kazenmusic · 2020-06-22T16:42:20+00:00

Thank you. I was being sarcastic, I guess. Thinking now of that meme where the girl is saying "It's the same picture."

kazenmusic · 2020-06-22T04:48:32+00:00

What's your point?

kazenmusic · 2020-05-05T17:27:09+00:00

"Someday soon, we will deeply regret letting all this happen."

I agree.

kazenmusic · 2020-04-25T19:18:45+00:00

I'm glad to learn of this. Another unacknowledged war; it's bothered me that Greece has been having to take the waves of invasion alone.

kazenmusic · 2020-03-19T17:04:23+00:00

Tip of the iceberg. I bet there are ten times more we don't know about. And then there are their employees....

It's a song, done by several musicians, Laurie Lewis among them. But it stands alone very well I think.

Not a word, never a single word, about Fukushima

What a fool I am. When I read the headline, I wondered if in spite of everything, Australia had winkled Julian Assange out from under all those warhogs and brought him home.

kazenmusic · 2019-11-11T00:08:20+00:00

Well I left because of Ip2 and Incels. Just checking back today after a couple of weeks; it does seem a bit more under control, but I'm not risking another baptism like that. Check ya in a month. Edit: it's been less than two weeks since I checked. Sorry for the mistake.

kazenmusic · 2019-10-20T22:27:24+00:00

Hi, good to meet you. I'm planning to be a Procrastian, one of these days...

kazenmusic · 2019-10-08T15:06:52+00:00

Hey you, I like your attitude. Back in the 1960's a girl told me a fable about how a whole society of people discovered if they pumped really hard they could get themselves off the ground.

They went on pumping until they were out of sight in the sky, leaving behind a few people on the ground who couldn't be bothered with that shit.

Those ground people went on to reinvent the world, without the pumpers. Makes sense to me, as a parable at least.

kazenmusic · 2019-09-26T10:16:39+00:00

All these years and I never realized. Thanks. I was sleeping...

Also, I never thought of them as having courage.

Not good people, but that doesn't make them wrong.

kazenmusic · 2019-08-28T14:44:01+00:00

The comments in the posting say it all. Thanks for posting.

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

kazenmusic · 2019-07-08T14:16:00+00:00

Ha, I guess I should have included an /s for sarcastic. I suggest to you that "What if" moved some time ago into action/marketing.

That boat has sailed, IMO.

Well, if we really can't dump the central bank, this might clear away some underbrush and let us see how things get made to happen.

A whole bunch of colourful, passionate lives. Thank you!

kazenmusic · 2019-03-15T20:00:24+00:00

US only?

kazenmusic · 2019-03-15T14:26:28+00:00

Thank you, I will accept and we'll have to see what happens, I guess.

I can understand missing Sooke. I can understand the pleasure of dying in Sooke. I lived there for a short time in 1974, shucked oysters for a living in a small building on the shore of one of those tucked-in inlets back toward Metchosin; anchored out in the bay was a lapstrake sailboat, kind of a large dinghy, that glowed brilliant white against the cedars and rock even on the grayest rainy day, punching through the mist with its purity. Poor little devils, those oysters. It turns out a left-handed piecework oyster-shucker is at a distinct disadvantage. Oysters are right-handed, imagine that.

I have it on fairly good authority that it isn't entirely about prevailing...

Yes, I'm Canadian: live on Vancouver Island. Thanks for asking, it's an honour. What is involved? I've never done anything like that; not very tech, I'm male, 72, carpenter, partly retired but the phone keeps ringing...feel some responsibility to try to see behind the curtain, though it's mostly depressing. You on the other hand, seem to have an AI mind and an endless source of power. Don't know how you do it. (grin)

kazenmusic · 2019-03-01T22:16:00+00:00

Saved. Thank you; a concise explanation.

Sage, if narrow, commentary. Ignores the elephant in the room, but there's truth here

kazenmusic · 2019-02-08T01:43:49+00:00

It's a great idea, but he'd be an expensive guest what with all the security required to keep him alive- I remember a spoof spy flick from years ago that featured three different rows of assassins in a corn field, all focused on our hero. Prophetic

kazenmusic · 2019-02-06T01:30:39+00:00

First reasonable word I've heard in years. I'm Canadian, got my own version of this going on, but Somebody needs to start saying the real things. I can hardly believe what a cartoon life in North America has become in the last thirty years.

The Devil must be dancing with glee as we turn upon one another in fake rage stirred by secret agitators who don't have our goals in mind. No, not even close.
