While merely the comment of some rando here, what this reveals is very important. It's admissible evidence of the success of The Truman Show's most mission-critical programming. Let's break it down...
🧵
I've been writing for 5+ months re how our populace is being subjected to an intense and systematic propaganda campaign. The left has coalesced such a wide breadth of control of our cultural channels that it presents almost without seams. Man, are they good at what they do!
There are two interrelated objectives to this campaign.
The first is to solidify the abhorrent caricature of a white nationalist. Paint this figure vividly; the very personification of white supremacy; a vile super villain; dangerous to our nation. Burn this into American minds!
And those types do exist, they always have, but their numbers are so small that they're statistically insignificant. This has always been the case in modern times and remains the case today. You'd have to dig way into some sticks to find a camp of these folks. They're irrelevant.
Ahhh, but this is where goal #2 kicks in. A much more nefarious one...
See, if we were having an accurate picture painted of the size/scope of The Great White Alt-Right Threat, few would care. Because, again, this group has no numbers, no breadth, no clout, no power. But that...
doesn't serve the goals here. No no no, we aren't expending this level of resources to vilify some group that is barely a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population.
The objective here is to cement power, and that wouldn't do it.
So what do we need to do instead? 💡
We need to push messaging that blurs the lines between that tiny group of true alt-right and the 10s of millions of conservatives in this country.
While we're at it, let's sell why we are the opposite as well.
This is the desired landing place; this is the trophy.
It's not that these abhorrent white nationalists are a threat; it's that conservatives as a whole are one and the same...
And when a single political party has coalesced such control of media and cultural channels and is pushing messaging turning the other half of the populace into "the others" and literally demonizing them, we're headed in a very dangerous direction...
And those doing this know precisely what the end-result will be. It's a result they're not only willing to stomach, it's one they're actively cultivating. Power is a hell of a drug!
Look how much time The Truman Show gives to this deranged lunatic. That's not by chance.
Messaging/language use is not only critical to a society, it's oftentimes very reflective of underlying currents. The below tweets from an elected official weren't bizarre off-the-cuff regretful remarks. They were very intentionally crafted to serve the above goals.
As I referenced this weekend in the below tweet, we've gotten to a point in just a year's time where you are "supporting white supremacy" if you aren't against the filibuster or for the canceling of student debt.
This is a very very dangerous game being played right now, folks. And the left (including the DNC) are all in. It's why we have troops still in the District. They're serving as backdrop to make The Truman Show more believable.
And it's working. It's working really really well. You see this evidenced by comments from citizens like the one in my OP.
You know what doesn't get nearly enough discussion?
The fact that Bill/Melinda Gates are funding the below. An ideology that says showing your work and finding the right answer are aspects of white supremacy.
We have an entire media/cultural apparatus aggressively pushing gender theory at our children's minds as young as 3yrs old (see thread below), but to @chasestrangio, the problem is 60 Minutes running a segment on the other side of the story; THAT is "dangerous".
If you're an educator and you think the classroom is a pulpit for your own personal progressive pet projects and social experiments, you've gone way off track and you're a problem.
You know who doesn't spend his life moping about white supremacy and crafting messaging re how he and his community will never be able to achieve anything unless Govt Daddy swoops in to save them?
Who is advancing the black community? People like @NewEmergingKing out helping individuals grow and creating tangibles, or people like @marclamonthill@TalbertSwan and @rolandsmartin pushing out podcasts 24/7 about how the community cannot advance without monetary reparations?
One encourages those listening to forge their own path of personal advancement and success. And actually goes out and helps people with those goals.
The other encourages those listening to spend the rest of their lives doing this... 👇
BLM funds (BILLIONS of $) were used for (1) progressive pet projects that had nothing to do with black lives, (2) to ensure Biden won the election, and of course (3) to make some activists very wealthy.
It was the most successful financial scam in American history.
