The American Flight from Freedom and Mental Health
American Thinker ^ | Jeffrey Ludwig

Posted on 02/11/2021 4:45:38 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Zbigniew Janowski's latest book, Homo Americanus, states clearly in its preface that "[t]his book revolves around four topics: the state of America and democracy today, liberalism, equality, and totalitarianism." Actually, we see a complex and penetrating analysis showing not that there is a fight between the values of liberalism/equality/democracy and totalitarianism (which fight was the overarching theme of the Cold War), but that we are moving directly into the implementation of Soviet-style totalitarianism. The woke generation, the obsessive anti-white rhetoricians, the "liberated" voices of sexuality (recommending gender fluidity and other twisted theories of sex), and those obsessively committed to "equality" are ramping us up toward the totalitarianism we have struggled against for generations.

Prof. Janowski sees that a threat of mind control and conformity is beginning to envelop American society and even the West. Increasing numbers of leaders are demanding this new level of conformity.

*snip*

The author links employer sensitivity training sessions to the Orwellian mind control found in the classic 1984. The sensitivity training sessions of the 1970s and 1980s were child's play compared to the intense mind control sessions that now cover the entire range of topics from sex to race to health to male-female identity to religion. The entire ideology behind protected classes in our law has moved to center stage, replacing the classic constitutional protections of rights. I'll never forget when, 35 years ago, I was talking with a gentleman who told me that he had complimented a fellow employee on a dress she was wearing, and she reported him to Human Resources, which led to a letter of reprimand being put in his personnel file.

Since then, we have unquestionably moved much farther toward mind control.

Future democrat voter.

And once he catches on, and in-person classes resume, he'll be attending your local high school as a freshman, and he'll/she'll try out for the girls swim team. And he'll make it.

And not one teacher or parent will dare to object, for fear of being branded a racist transphobe.

Thank you for that link...People ask why nobody saw the run up to the Nazi reign of terror and the genocide it brought...

As we watch the American version of “Gleichshaltung” unfold before our eyes...Disagree with “the woke” and be silenced, deplatformed, marginalized and silenced...What’s next? Camps for anyone who clinges to common sense?
