Something changed in us after the lockdowns. Not just mentally. Not just emotionally. Deeply. Spiritually. Here’s what I’m seeing—and why we may be living through the long echo of mass psychological programming. 🧵

1/
After the mandates, lockdowns, and messaging loops, I’ve been watching people. And what worries me most isn’t fear.
It’s this:
People no longer seem moved to act just because something is good.
Only if it is “effective,” “impactful,” or “productive.” This inverts Hope.

2/
Rather than Hope being relational and personal it’s mechanized, institutionalized, made into something determined by a system. Vaclav Havel said this about Hope.

What the Talmud really says—and why misunderstanding satire leads to dangerous distortion.
Let’s talk about Peter Schäfer, “Yeshu,” and why misreading rabbinic humor is like thinking A Modest Proposal advocated cannibalism. 🧵

@RealCandaceO here cites Princeton scholar Peter Schäfer to claim the Talmud says disgraceful things about Jesus.
That’s not just incorrect—it’s a misreading of satire, of literary context, and of Jewish interpretive tradition. Remember what Robin Williams said about killing all the funny people?

@RealCandaceO 2/
In Jesus in the Talmud, Schäfer analyzes stories about “Yeshu” (a figure some associate with Jesus) in rabbinic texts written centuries after his death.
These stories are not creeds…they’re literary, often satirical, and encoded for a reason.

Stalin wrote “the base produces the superstructure so that it can serve the base.” Alongside both Hitler and Mao the same principle established the revolution from above as dictated by Lenin. In 2020 Angelo Codevilla wrote this in American Mind prior to the Covid narrative launching the anti-reality and anti - human environment which took advantage of while corrupting the landscape which brought us to today.

Notice that the same arguments against individualism and redefining liberalism (begun by the MSM decades ago I might add) were used by Gorky, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and every totalitarian creep.

“The moral class critique from above was always implicit. It largely stayed in the background of the campaigns for social improvement into which Progressives have led the American people ever since the 1930s, and especially since the 1960s. …But each and all of these campaigns produced mostly the ostensible objectives’ opposites while increasing the numbers of the oligarchy’s members and their wealth and power, endowing them with socio-political clienteles as well as with levers for manipulating them. As its members’ powers grew, they developed a taste for disdaining independent Americans and acquired whips for punishing them.” - Angelo Codevilla 2020

Now it is, at first sight, a simple fight between two groups, one could even call this a class struggle, but Havel in 1977 discovered something which I believe is a key to understanding where we are. But first, we need to explore a bit more what Party means from the point of view of Marxism or, as I believe it would be better to call it, Liberation Theology.

My sense is that we are not actually simply facing two different political ideas battling it out but rather one Religious idea masquerading as economic, philosophical and political, while in truth it is in fact a religious ideology with a method of absorbing all which opposes it into itself via the power of narrative. That is the Great Narrative and it has a structure. It also has a singular author. That author is Party.
More accurately it would be The Party Spirit or even Will.

Under the Soviet’s this term was Partiinost'. It is a transliteration of the Russian term. In Chinese, it is translated as Dangxing (Chinese: 党性). It can be variously translated as party-mindedness, partisanship, or party spirit.

It is one of the philosophical pillars of the Great Narrative which was, and still is, Socrealism or Socialist Realism.

These pillars are:
Klassovost (Class-mindedness or consciousness.)

Narodnsot (People/folk-mindedness or orientation toward the masses)

Ideinost (Idea-mindedness), emphasising that ideas should reflect those of the Party, as well as motivating people for a certain aim.

And of course

Partiinost (Party-mindedness) meaning that every expression was considered political, and the foundation of all knowledge is the Party.

Party is the only purveyor of ideology. And ideology supersedes all, all knowledge all history all wisdom. Morality is not determined by amalgamated wisdom, Torah, The Gospels or from within the human spirit. There is no human spirit. There is only Partiinost; Party Spirit.
And that Spirit has a singular goal, unified and in total and it is determined by Party, not a parent, not a teacher and certainly not any internal choice. The human being is not, according to this principle, capable of making such decisions. It echoes in an interesting way what Codevilla wrote in Revolution 2020
“the logic that drives each turn of our revolutionary spiral is Progressive Americans’ inherently insatiable desire to exercise their superiority over those they deem inferior. Its force, I observed, “comes not from the substance of the Progressives’ demands,” but rather “from that which moves, changes, and multiplies their demands without end. That is the Progressives’ affirmation of superior worth, to be pursued by exercising dominance: superior identity affirmed via the inferior’s humiliation.”

Codevilla continued. “Affirmation of one’s own superiority by punishing inferiors is an addictive pleasure. It requires ever stronger, purer doses of infliction, and is inherently beyond satisfaction.

In short, the Progressive ruling class’s intensifying efforts to oppress those they imagine to be their inferiors is not reversible. It is far less a choice of policy than it is the consequence of its awakening to its own identity—awakening to the powers and privileges to which they imagine their superior worth entitles them. It is awakening to its deep resentment—indeed, to hate—for whoever does not submit preemptively.”

Progressivism does not live purely on the left or the right. This illusion provides cover for the false perception that the march of revolution (or as Tim Pool has drummed for years now) is inevitable.

I will diverge from Codevilla here and this is very important.

Yes, a symptom of this assault from above that uses the appearance of mass consensus (either on the left or the right) we call woke (awakening to its own consciousness) but this is naming the disease without naming the cause.

What he recognizes as a quality of the Progressiveness, and their collective motivation I think he, and most people fail to recognize as The Spirit of Party in general or
Partiinost' or Dangxing.

More of a priest guild - Party is the soul purveyor of Ideology. And ideology is what assures Party it has an existence.

Ideology rather than principle is how decisions are made and how power is transferred from one person to the next. Ultimately all principle, all morals, all ethics and all identity becomes subordinated to ideology. To Ideinost.
It is essential to understand the power dynamic here. Party cannot exist without ideology and ideology cannot exist without party.

This dialectical is like a black hole which sucks in everything and everyone around it because it exists only to exist. It makes decisions based only on what will serve its existence and as it grows in power it permits into its “praxis” only those so long as they will serve it.

We have not yet entered complete transformation into a social totality in which there is no escape from the singularity of Ideinost watched by the guards of Partiinost and in truth, since it is so unnatural I do not believe it is actually any more possible that the foolish idea that you can ever reach the horizon line. However….
The consistent belief that it IS possible whether it is right or wrong is what makes this so dangerous.

This, in short is what in Power of the Powerless Vaclav Havel calls The Post Totalitarian Society….
Vaclav explains brilliantly and we would be wise to listen to him how this is distinctively different than a Dictatorship no matter how much it may seem to resemble one. In fact that resemblance is merely another form of Totalitarian Creep obscuring itself and hiding itself behind its primary ally; ideology.

The goal of socrealism is simple. It’s to spread Revolution via transforming the consciousness of its targets.

We now see on all sides of the “political isle” a consistent defending of Marx, Mao, Hitler and Stalin. We see a creation of new hero narratives and a refraining of not only history but also a distortion of literature, theology and western philosophy which is a new myth making. The Purpose of these new myths is to utilize artifice (a form of propoganda and corporate marketing similar to what we saw globally during Covid) to express a simple and deadly idea…

Fellow Jews - I’ve been thinking a great deal about something in Torah. I’m curious what you think.

It’s known that Moses was the first to say to God “if you do this, take me out of the book that you have written.”

Is it possible that this wasn’t the first time that this was said but the first time that this was heard?

What if the first time was Sarah…? Why would God say “sacrifice your son” then say “nope - didn’t mean it. Was just testing you.” Does this make sense? I don’t think it makes sense. Thoughts?

@Jewtastic @RonColeman @ymenken @Rabbishish @frank_zelenko @JustOwnItIsrael @JewsAreTheGOAT @Irishchutzpah @CaffMomREDACTED The tragedy of course is that she didn’t survive that moment. Dying of shame is something perhaps very different for a woman than for a man. This is what I’ve been pondering lately as we approach Purim.

Let me remind everyone how similar city planners are to public health narratives.

https://x.com/ooana/status/1879640632358228375?s=46

Narratives are essential to the way any policy is justified ideologically at the expense of individuals.

“What’s wrong with saving lives since cars kill so many people?”

Well, nothing. Obviously. Don’t let people use this fallacy to convince you that somehow there is no cost to imposing zones upon the people of NYC.

Here’s a personal story for you, stop me if you’ve heard this one…

🧵The War On Memory, The Great War

“This is always history's greatest failure, its inability to believe what it sees, what, almost always, someone sees.” - Larry Kramer

“For the Greeks, the hidden life demanded invisible ink. They wrote an ordinary letter and in between the lines set out another letter, written in milk. The document looked innocent enough until one who knew better sprinkled coal-dust over it. What the letter had been no longer mattered; what mattered was the life flaring up undetected
…till now.”
‘Sexing the Cherry’ by Jeanette Winterson

Before the Gods ruled from Mount Olympus there was a war. The war was between the Old Gods called the Titans and the new Gods, the Olympians.

The female titans went below the ground while the male Titans were spectacularly defeated by the Olympians with Zeus and his brothers leading their army… /1

As the earth settled from the quakes of battle, the female Titans emerged, including one daughter of Gaia and Uranus, named Mnemosyne. She and her siblings were birthed from earth and sky. She…the Goddess of Memory.

Zeus took note, naturally, and Aros (erotic love) partnered them (socios). For nine consecutive days and nights they were intertwined… /2

After each night of their coupling was birthed nine daughters. One for each night of Aros and Socios - the nine muses.
