Many of the greatest horrors of the history of humanity owe their occurrence solely to the establishment and social enforcement of a false reality. With gratitude to the Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper and his important 1970 essay “Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power” for the term and idea, we can refer to these alternative realities as ideological pseudo-realities.
Pseudo-realities, being false and unreal, will always generate tragedy and evil on a scale that is at least proportional to the reach of their grip on power—which is their chief interest—whether social, cultural, economic, political, or (particularly) a combination of several or all of these. So important to the development and tragedies of societies are these pseudo-realities when they arise and take root that it is worth outlining their basic properties and structure so that they can be identified and properly resisted before they result in sociopolitical calamities—up to and including war, genocide, and even civilizational collapse, all of which can take many millions of lives and can ruin many millions more in the vain pursuit of a fiction whose believers are, or are made, sufficiently intolerant.
The Nature of Pseudo-realities Pseudo-realities are, simply put, false constructions of reality. It is hopefully obvious that among the features of pseudo-realities is that they must present a plausible but deliberately wrong understanding of reality. They are cult “realities” in the sense that they are the way that members of cults experience and interpret the world—both social and material—around them. We should immediately recognize that these deliberately incorrect interpretations of reality serve two related functions. First, they are meant to mold the world to accommodate small proportions of people who suffer pathological limitations on their abilities to cope with reality as it is. Second, they are designed to replace all other analyses and motivations with power, which these essentially or functionally psychopathic individuals will contort and deform to their permanent advantage so long as their pseudo-real regime can last.
Pseudo-realities are always social fictions, which, in light of the above, means political fictions. That is, they are maintained not because they are true, in the sense that they correspond to reality, either material or human, but because a sufficient quantity of people in the society they attack either believe them or refuse to challenge them. This implies that pseudo-realities are linguistic phenomena above all else, and where power-granting linguistic distortions are present, it is likely that they are there to create and prop up some pseudo-reality. This also means that they require power, coercion, manipulation, and eventually force to keep them in place.
WOW. This article nails it! Pseudo Realities kept in place by force. 52 genders, BLM, Antifa, democRAT political persecutions,...
Enabled by democRATs and RINOs.
Yep. And Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff ans so many more.
And if biden gets in and we do nothing...
What’s that make us?
The World Economic Forum (WEF) director, Klaus Schwab, and Prince Charles introduced the WEF's "Great Reset" plan to rebuild the global economy sustainably after the Communist China Party Wu-Flu global pandemic. The WEF claims it will create a superior alternative form of capitalism by making "investments" heavily focused on environmental issues and mutual progress of all countries.
Of course, the obvious underlying purpose of the WEF's "Great Reset" is to Greatly speed up the process of bringing about George Soros's lifelong dream of a borderless, totalitarian world government, presumably governed by Soros himself, one of his sons, or some suitable Soros stoolie. Soros has often said the "United States" is the only remaining stumbling block preventing him from successfully achieving his grand vision of a borderless, global "Open Society."
New World Order. The Great Reset.
Add global warming to your list.
This is a LOT of reading - more than I should be doing while I’m at work! Bookmarking for later.
It’s real simple - there are some people born into the world who end up craving power and control over others the way normal people crave oxygen - they become Democrats and ultimately, as we are seeing, would-be dictators......
Here’s the latest in insanity...

I should have read this fifty years ago, but I only heard of it today. I need to go down and get a smaller hat.
The good news is that sooner than later reality will get it’s revenge, but it may not be pretty.
The last stanza of the “Gods of the Copybook Headings”...
“And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!”
And if biden gets in and we do nothing
