Antisemitism and the Industrial Cycle The belief that all Jewish people are an issue because of the Israeli government, the IDF, and the Jews who support their actions is akin to the belief (for example) that all Americans are an issue because of the actions of the US government, the US army, and their supporters (ie. MAGA). This is also akin to a hypothetical and (more) dystopian future where both the left and right from various nations hate all British people because Reform were elected, started another war, and their supporters defend it. In other words the path we're going down is reminiscent of the one which got the Nazis elected in the thirties. World War I claimed approximately 11-22 million lives between 1914-18. Roughly a century afterwards the pandemic claimed between 18-36 million lives between 2020-23 (if we include excess deaths). After both of these tragedies came a sharp rise in antifeminism and antisemitism. Such rises in the previous century fueled fascism, the Nazi party, and led to World War II. So far in this century we're experiencing another rise of fascism, a number of outspoken Nazis, and whispers of World War III. The above ideas suggest the beginning of a new cycle of industrial patriarchy; this second round being fueled by (among other things) the fear of woman's empowerment, the immense loss of life from the pandemic, the social upheaval during and after this, and the absence of all those who were alive at the beginning of the first round. The huge loss of life is somewhat linked to the latter idea, meaning the pandemic took a large amount of the older generations away from us. And as with last century, Jewish people are for many becoming a scapegoat. We may have the power to end this cycle before things get out of hand again by developing our empathy and awareness, both of which can happen nationwide with the integration of natural entheogens into our medical organisations*. We have the potential to expand this program further by integrating these organisations with those of our prisons**. * We would also benefit from a government effort to quash the stigma behind these enthogens, to undo the hysteria of the sixties and seventies. For example, the difference between the naturally-occurring psilocybin and the lab-synthesised LSD is significant, and a lot of the hysteria was behind the latter. ** One of the objectives of this would be to cure certain offenders of their desire to offend by locating the root cause, as opposed to releasing them with the root still intact. As was discussed in a previous piece we can move the cured ex-offenders away from the environments that conditioned them, first into a "transitional" environment, then to a "safe" one, as to avoid reconditioning. The Concord prison experiment from the sixties and the follow-up study from 2011 would perhaps both have had better results if the ex-offenders were moved into such environments after release. These transitional and safe environments could exist for everyone, growing in number until the whole nation is well, perhaps then influencing other nations. As was also mentioned in the previous piece, we have the means to begin a pilot for a similar program at any time, without the use of entheogens, instead using humanitarian therapy.
