I like to challenge myself and my knowledge of what other people's point of view is, so I read a lot of things I don't necessarily agree with. What I'm about to say is not an attack on any group or belief system. My hope is that someone who is questioning where they fall on today's political line reads this, and doesn't feel so alone. I don't know where I fit anymore either. I don't agree with any of the political groups in their entirety. I find bits and pieces on all sides that I can subjectively agree with. With that subjectivity, I also know that there's a chance my emotions are being toyed with all the time to meet someone else's end.
On to my point...
I think I just read one of the original papers written about the "Deep State," and I discovered something I don't think the people that are so in to this theory realize; These authors use exactly the same kind of propaganda that they say the Fabianists/Socialists are using.
According to this paper I read on the Canadian Patriot, Oxford University and the London School of Economics are the breeding ground for Fabianism/Socialism, and the majority of Obama's cabinet were Oxford and LSE graduates.
"The Fabian society program focused on broad social welfare programs such as universal health care, mass education, and better working conditions which were designed to attract the disenfranchised masses."
The statement above was true, and relevant to what is happening currently. Some of the new presidents main priorities are universal healthcare, free community college, and raising the minimum wage. When you read these things and find the truths, I can see how you could begin to question what you thought you knew and turn to the anti establishment movement. It feels like an A-Ha moment.
The goal of this movement is to make you question everything, and trust no one, but the means by which they do so, is ironically the same as what they're supposedly fighting.
Here's how:
They find something relatable that may cause stress to a demographic. For example a person's livelihood, their hard earned money, or lack there of. Money is what keeps us comfortable, fed, and free. They bombard them with overwhelming amounts of information, that is mostly truths mixed in with subjective theories. Then they appeal to the idea of consequential poverty caused by taxation to fund these Fabianistic ideas.
Cyphering through the information to find what is relevant becomes too much. Because there's so much "evidence" how could this theory be wrong? So the reader begins to stop questioning altogether.
This revelation or A-Ha moment makes them only trust the anti establishment movement, and in turn become comfortable and complacent with their ideals. Now that they're "woke" and they have found trust in the truths, they unknowingly become complacent. This makes it easy to control the readers opinion. Which is how normal people became insurgents in our nations capitol.
I think we all tend to agree with what we find emotionally relatable, and because of this we become targets of all kinds of propaganda. You can see this in brand marketing, posts by social influencers, political taglines, algorithms, religious movements, and social interest groups. Regardless of your political/religious views, everyone is a victim of this. We all need to be cognizant of this marketing beast pulling our emotional strings and trying to make us form a strong opinion about one thing or another.
Trust your gut. If someone doesn't feel genuine, or you can see that they're opportunist preying on your demographic, ask more questions, or just detach yourself from that person or idea. Not everyone is inherently bad. Not everyone had a hidden agenda, but there are people that are, and do. We just need to stay aware and not get pulled in to a tunnel vision point of view. We can do this by reading things the people we disagree with are reading. Understanding where their subjectivity could make their opinion differ from ours, and welcoming diversity. If no one ever opposed any idea, we would be back where we started, under the rule of a dynasty.
