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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

🧵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

What do radical Revolutionaries on all sides of the political spectrum share? What is the underpinning belief system that makes “woke” or awaken to a consciousness for those who insist to you that they are only in opposition to each other? What do they share in common?

They all believe that they have seen reality and that everyone else must be awakened to it. This is a false reality, an illusion. That false reality is socialist realism or socrealism/socreality.

So what is that? What is the socrealist way of viewing/the world and your place in it? What is this theory? More accurately what is this philosophy? (Cont) 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 I truth it is in fact a religious ideology with a method of absorbing all which opposes it into itself via the power of narrative.

1796 - Washington announced he would not be seeking another term. His announcement was the first in what became the tradition of Presidents addressing the people before their departure as well as what was, until recently, how they departed from public service. 🧵 I have a favorite founding document that was once part of our shared general knowledge. It was delivered to the people in 1796 and some may recall portions of it from the score of the musical Hamilton.

The socrealist spectacle of the Olympic opening ceremony served its Purpose.

1. Remind that the Hero is Toil and the toiler is unthinkable outside the collective by bastardizing the ancient transformative promise of ritual to elevate an individual from the mundane to awe at and with the potential of one human being to be exceptional and to be celebrated for it.

2. By distracting you with visuals meant to distort your consciousness (“engineer the human soul.”)

3. Replace lineage with a march toward an assured glorious future determined by Party and worshiping Purpose.

4. By destroying the author/artist by activating a feverish activity, and confusing / burying history. “The artist must be both midwife and gravedigger; not only giving birth to a new art but exterminating the pernicious elements of the old, even if they like it.”

5. By continuing to use children to trigger fear and paralysis.

6. Meanwhile…

TransFORMATION - distract you with symbols that offend and fear which aim to destroy your fundamental belief which no one can touch unless you allow them to.

🧵I think there are insights into our current situation which can be very useful from
this particular essay titled Power of the Powerless.

I’ve quoted later parts of it often, but now I want to focus on the earlier sections where he explains why what they experienced and what I believe we are also, isn’t a dictatorship or even really communism or fascism, but rather something else. Something unique to modernity but also requiring a very different tactic to defeat… Here is a link to the essay. I’ll be quoting from it and also trying to, later in this thread, summarize its nature. In order to defeat an enemy we must first be able to understand what it actually is. hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/the…

Hate is an emotion.

No laws should ever dictate emotion. Learning how to regulate one’s emotional outbursts is not the same thing as attempting to regulate another being’s emotions.

We are not livestock.

SEL is a form of socialist realism, a philosophy which views the mere idea of individualism as “zoological.”

It is NOT merely an artistic aesthetic or style of literature. It is a philosophy and cornerstone of Stalinist and Maoist theology.

#WarOnMemory

It is said, by many, that in part the justification for Jew hate can be found in the writings and brilliance of people like Nietzsche. However this, just like every justification by intellectuals to pseudo intellectuals and their pawns is not only shallow, but false What I find remarkable as of late is how many justifications often cite, adopt, even claim ideas and language and declarations that are uniquely part of jewish wisdom and spirit, preserved by my people for millennia or - bastardizations of non Jewish but thoughtful, wise, brilliant

Ritual power is transformative. We tend to apply a positive to the word transformative…

Masking changes someone. The extent to which, if we keep attempting to understand purely rationally, is like trying to understand why touch, music, prayer, hearing laughter and so on can stir the human spirit.

The literalists may literally kill us all.

That’s fundamentally what my piece was about. Never flat out stated this before. It’s kinda a rule one shouldn’t. Right now - it’s a rule I think I had to break.

Masking changes human beings. Full stop. The why doesn’t exist anymore. The days never did matter. It’s truly heartbreaking.

See Merloo, Rape of the Mind.

We have what we need at our fingertips.

Churches - choir. Make your choir beautiful.

Parents - read to your children. EVERY day.

Friends - dance together. Be goofy. Get in your bodies.

Lovers - take Tango, waltz, anything. Just do it. Step on each others feet. Do it.

Everyone - every day, make singing or dancing alone something you do as a good habit. When you feel awkward? Keep going. It’s that step from discomfort to joy that is something to train yourself to know how to feel, spot and do.

Learn to distinguish pain from new sensation. Learn how to tap into the things in each of us and in those you love that the bastards can’t take.

That’s how we outlive them. Always. You want to become even better at this? When that moment happens in your body where everything seems askew and you feel awkward (those who practice yoga will know this - it’s part of the inversion practice) hold it.

Try to stay in that moment and extend it longer.

The longer you can rest in the awareness of that moment and get to the other side - the more skillful you will be at reading your own body language.

This isn’t what it seems to be. It’s less about deducing what others might be trying not to reveal. It’s about knowing how to use your own body to reboot what the bastards are attempting to FORCE you to feel.

I’ll think about ways to offer more clarity about this but for now- if you understand any part
Of this - start doing it. Now.

This is why, btw, masking is so damn important to these psychos. It’s all about altering our ability to read our bodies and others. It’s not new age. It’s human. Very old. And very vulnerable right now.

I’ve never had an abortion or IVF.

I’ve known so many women who were told not to allow their complex emotions regarding ending pregnancy or fertility to enter their minds or hearts because - they didn’t matter.

Who is worse than by the standards recently laid out by some who say that “hard truths” must be considered.

Those who always considered these? Who were told to be silent? Or cold to their own thinking?

Or the people who have made the private matters so brutally public as if anyone ever had the right to be the voice of such things?
