I remember when Tom Hayden, 1960s SDS radical (one of the Chicago 7), said that he wanted young people to start smoking marijuana because doing so would train the young people to defy authorities. Leftists are often very clever in their strategies. They have been very successful in turning a formerly Judeo-Christian-based society into a hedonistic society that is open to leftist views.
Portland right now is in outright anarchy like Mad Max. Multiple shootings every day, rioting and looting, police either have left or are not responding to calls. There have been something like 150 shootings just in January.
But you won’t see that anywhere in the media. News about Portland is largely being censored.
I understand the way Gaslighting is used today.
I recall watching that old movie it came from.
But I never use it. One has to connect too many “dots” before it makes any sense. There are more direct ways to say the same thing.
But, that’s just me. Go ahead....You can say “Okay Boomer!”
I won’t mind.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
America lives in a perpetual state of gaslighting because the elites retain power by divide and conquer. This requires constantly setting the population against each other by any means possible. So, traditional morality is jettisoned in favor of normalizing what was immoral conduct, and declaring those in favor of the old rules, racist, sexist, “homophobic”, etc. As long as the elites can maintain power this way, the economic divide can be concealed. When people realize they have been played, real change is possible, and the elites will get very scared.
