Do You Hear Them Now?

This deserves to be watched in full, my friends. Presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn disagree that calling for a genocide of Jews constitutes bullying and harassment according to their universities’ code of conduct:

This is truly one of the most out there things I’ve seen, and I work with people like these every day. We’ve spent a week hearing endless outbursts of outrage over some anti-semitic no-name Twitter accounts, but when presidents of 3 major universities say that calling for a genocide of an ethnic group is not necessarily wrong, that’s perfectly fine. There’s, you know, context.

It’s just truly.

I mean.

Is this finally going to make an impression?

    “Is this finally going to make an impression?”

    No.

    I know this is a rhetorical question, but the fact is that the paradigm has changed and we are now living in a totally different moral landscape.

    Paradigm shifts tend to take a long time, and the new Theory-dominated paradigm that is asserting itself in Western, Anglophone societies (the so-called “Anglosphere”) has been a while in the making, though not so long as one would expect.

    The arc of the paradigm that is currently replacing the one with which Boomers and X-generation people are familiar started in the Sixties with the so-called liberation movements – Women’s Lib, Black Lib, Gay Lib, was sustained by the subsequent advance by Frankfurt School sociology and French Theory through, and later stranglehold of, humanities departments in US academia and later in all areas colonised by college graduates throughout North America: the press, the media, the film industry, publishing, high tech, politics and now the churches and ALL other areas of intellectual and non-intellectual pursuits.

    Anglophone and non-Anglophone PhD students from outside the US but who were trained there spread the very same gospel in their respective academic systems, so that by now the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand are infected too, and, to a lesser extent, other Western European countries such as Spain, France, Germany and Italy.

    The shifting event that has enabled this set of ideas to move from academia into the mainstream is the institutional capture not just of most of the highest echelons of government agencies (the FBI, the CIA, the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank, all of the UN agencies), vast swaths of the Diplomatic Service and the Armed Forces, BUT the capture of all major players in the capitalist system: the Big Four (Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon), BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley.

    It has taken about sixty years, which as a time-span is not insignificant: think about the Russian revolutionary movements of the late Nineteenth century that culminated in the October Revolution. This one has taken longer, and though its grasp now feels sudden and surreptitious, it is not. For those who have seen the signs this is not unexpected at all, in fact, what’s remarkable is that relatively few people seem to have taken notice.

    Mine is not a conspiracy theory – for more background and a thorough explanation of the terminology as well as the reality of the new paradigm you should go to New Discourses by James Lindsay (https://newdiscourses.com/author/jameslindsay/), though I do not share his optimism that the tide can be turned. The rot has set in, the revolution in mentalities has already happened and taken hold at all levels of society. This is a new culture that has taken decades to become hegemonic, it can’t be made to disappear simply by some wishful thinking.

    People of faith are in the best position to resist the coming “disruption” but the old Western Judaeo-Christian order is passing, and we do not know what will take its place. For context on what a paradigm shift entails and to get an idea of what if feels like to those who are living through it, the recommended reading is Edward J Watts, The FInal Pagan Generation (2015).

      No, no need to be sorry, it’s a great post. I’m still hoping, though, that American Jews, who are very high-IQ people will be able to effectuate a cognitive leap spurred by this truly outrageous evidence. Sometimes, it takes a long evolution. But there are also moments when you experience something so powerful, so painful that it crosses out decades of conditioning. Jews have a strong historical memory of genocide. They should be predisposed to catching the signs. These aren’t anonymous Twitter comments. These are very public statements made by people with enormous institutional power. And they clearly think that condemning calls for Jewish genocide will cost them more than not doing so. If this isn’t enough to feel scared, I don’t know what is. A basic instinct for self-preservation should kick in at this point.

        Seems like good evidence for “IQ isn’t everything”.

        You are absolutely right, and it is happening. But you see, while a former Jewish Democrat may no longer vote for the Democrats, he will not start voting for Trump, and it is dubious that he will become a staunch conservative. He will be quieter, he might even see the “error of his ways” in his former affiliation but he will say that he is “still the same person as before”, “it’s the others around that have changed, not me”.
        As you can see, I’m using actual quotes.

        Internal paradigm shifts are hard, take a long time to come into effect, generally over years, and are traumatic, if they are genuine and not merely skin deep. It takes time and effort to break out of the old skin and come into the new.

    Also, I’m seeing a lot of women [in the proceedings shown in the video], and it’s not a good look. And no, this is not misogyny. There IS a gender element to the revolution that is taking place under our very eyes, if not under our watch. And, again, it is NOT a good look.

    The left has been saying that calling for the killing of white farmers in SA is totally fine for years.

    Of course, in SA most people prefer to vote for a candidate who says negotiations are the solution to all disputes, so it could be argued that the people calling for farm killings are fringe lunatics not to be taken seriously.

    In Israel, it would seem that the extremists are in charge on both sides. The agreement with the message remains the same, though.

      Yes, that’s exactly it. If those women in the video were asked if calling for the genocide of whites is OK, they would have had even more difficulties with saying no. We are slowly talking ourselves into a pretty scary place, and the sooner people notice, the better it is.
