I would agree if people were making informed decisions.

But they are not.

They have been radicalized and brought under control of a cult.

They no longer think for themselves. They do and say as they are told.

That doesn’t absolve them of criminal behaviour.

But con supporters and a large contingent of NDP supporters are no longer in complete control of their decision making.

Separate them from the source of their radicalization, deprogram them, and they’ll be normal people again.

Hating them for their defiance and antisocial behaviour is exactly what cons want. To keep us divided and maximize the polarization.

I wouldn’t recommend giving conservatives what they want. That’s a form of mind control on you.

Conservatives are using Reflexive Control. It is a Russian tactic. Developed and long used by Russia, Reflexive Control is manipulation to elicit a desired response from one’s enemy.

Your emotions are being manipulated by cons who wish to keep you angry & incapable of action.

The fact this statement exists is proof that Reflexive Control is an effective method of disarming one’s enemy during hybrid warfare.

The fact conservatives are using Russian war strategies is confirmation that conservatives no longer value democracy.

Anyone under the impression that the current political environment in Canada or Alberta is “normal” or “regular” politics needs to give their head a shake.

This is not normal. It’s not normal to hate the opposition vehemently and wish death upon them.

But that’s what these tactics do. Divide and create animosity towards your ideological opposition.

The emotions elicited by conservatives cult members are meant to keep you from having empathy. If you’re secretly or openly condemning cultists to death, you’ve been controlled.

Ask yourself when in your lifetime did you honestly wish death, pain and suffering on another human being? If it’s been throughout your life, seek psychological help.

Because it’s not a normal response to wish harm on others, regardless of how annoying or obstructive they are.

The guy who cuts you off in traffic you may give the finger to, but you’re not actively promoting his death by car accident because he was a jerk.

The person who butt in front of you in a queue isn’t someone you obsess over because they delayed you a few more moments.

What the public fails to realize is that Reflexive Control impacts all of society. Whether you fall for the gaslighting or not.

Family members and life long friends no longer speak to each other. Visceral feelings of rage and disgust define the emotional range of citizens.

Recognizing the efforts of conservatives and the impact their disinformation/propaganda/gaslighting network is having on your psyche, behaviour and attitudes makes a world of difference.

You can maintain control of your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour in this environment.

When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with hate, rage or disgust stop and remember:

It’s not normal to hate the opposition. It’s not normal to react so intensely to provocation.

You’ve been rendered helpless by your emotions.

Critical thinking involves frontal lobe engagement and control over one’s emotional state.

When you’re feeling such intense emotion, you’ve disengaged your frontal lobe.

You’ve reverted to primitive brain stem emotional reactions. You can no longer think rationally.

Your impulse control is in overdrive because all you want to do is harm the person eliciting these emotions.

That’s the power of Reflexive Control.

You are no longer independently making decisions when you’re in that state.

Remember the people you’re aiming your hate, rage and disgust at are held in that state of emotional incapacity full time. That’s what radicalization does. It removes the capacity to think critically and turns us into primitive emotional creatures incapable of self control.

It can be uncomfortable to acknowledge the ease others display in shaping your thoughts, feelings, behaviour and beliefs.

But unless you do, you’ll continue to fall victim to the machinations of conservatives attack on democracy and free will.

When you’re aware of the tactics being used, it’s much easier to resist manipulation. It’s easy to forget the people pissing you off are human beings who did not ask to be recruited into a global cult that removes their agency and ability to control their own thoughts.

I don’t feel pity for those under cult control. I just remember they’re human beings whose vulnerabilities overwhelmed their humanity.

I have family members and a few friends that have succumbed to this tactic. They no longer resemble themselves.

Because I love them, I’ve never forgotten they are frail human beings no longer in control of their thoughts.

Everyone of the other cult members has loved ones who no longer recognize their loved ones.

If you can’t muster up compassion for the cult members, dig deep for their family members. We have all lost people to this nightmarish cult seeking to destroy individual free will.

And this also means you can stop trying to change their minds.

As the article attached to this thread explains, to combat Reflexive Control, you must discredit those spreading disinformation, propaganda and thought terminating cliches (con talking points). Not the cult members who no longer have control of their thoughts.

Otherwise you’re performing predetermined behaviour shaped by the disinformation and gaslighting being practiced by conservatives.

The human brain is a marvellous organ. But it can be hijacked quite easily.

It’s your decision whether you protect yourself from radicalization.
