Left v Right dichotomy and false dichotomies - Zeriwedgie still on fire - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Zerowedgie is on fire in the last week or three, with foundational, sometimes inspirational and etc articles chosing to be (re)posted at the world's pre-eminent #fashtag sponsored Neon-N∀zi edumacational website, Zerowedgie. I mean DailyStormer is the pre-eminent #fashtag site #1, David Duke is #2 although he is older and bin around a lot longer than Amblin Anglin so he's probably #fashtag_1 in reality, but anyway this all makes ZeroWedgie #fashtag_3 site in the world, not 1 or 2 .. for the fastidiously inclined... Great to see the various authors riposted on ZeroWedgie putting out such Soul searching foundational material - GO Humans, GO! There'soap^BThere's hope, yet :) No silver bullet/ big easy answer, but at least a cogent statement of the problem... https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-18/smith-examination-leftist-cult-an… Smith: An Examination Of The Leftist Cult And Their Religion http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3810-an-examination-of-the-leftist-cult-… There is a common misconception among newer activists in the liberty movement that the idea of the “false left/right paradigm” means that there is no political spectrum; that the entire notion of left vs right is a fabrication. This is not exactly the case. When we talk about false paradigms in regards to politics (or geopolitics), what we are actually referring to is the elitist class, otherwise known as globalists, and the fact that they have no left or right political orientation. They do not care about Democrats or Republicans, they have no loyalty to either party. Their loyalty is to their own agenda, and they will exploit BOTH sides to get what they want whenever possible. Beyond the globalists, average people do indeed fall on a political spectrum that could be broken down and simplified to a set of basic ideals or ideologies. On the left side of the spectrum we find the collectivists and socialists, who believe that society (the group) is vastly more important than the individual and that the actions of individuals must be strictly monitored and governed to prevent negative effects on the group. The core argument of the leftists is: “We are all a part of society and must act in harmony with society so that the system continues to function. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...” On the right side of the spectrum we find the individualists, sovereignty activists and true conservatives. People who, in varying degrees, believe that society should be restricted from dictating the life of the individual and that group participation should be voluntary. Where leftists seek to centralize, people on the right seek to decentralize. The argument of the conservative is: “Without the individual the group does not exist. The group is an abstraction created in the mind. When groups do form they should only exist to serve and protect the inherent rights of individuals, not be used as a mechanism of control by weak people who are afraid to function on their own...” This separation of philosophies is simple and easy to follow. Where things start to become confused and convoluted, however, is when political “gatekeepers” or globalist controlled pundits and media outlets get involved and muddy the waters. For example, there are some egregious misinterpretations of conservative principles in the mainstream, especially in places like Europe where the word “conservative” is considered dirty and is barely spoken. Gatekeepers who have no loyalties to actual conservative values have attempted to soil the image of conservatives as a whole by misleading them down the wrong path or acting as false representatives. Inevitably, these pied pipers try to lure conservatives to support leftist ideologies, like big government interference in people's lives, or in the politics of other nations, or even in free markets. In other words, they want to sabotage real conservatives by making them look like hypocrites. But, the ideals of conservativism and centralization are mutually exclusive – If a conservative supports big government control, they are no longer a conservative. Period. It is certainly the case that similar gatekeepers on the left side of the spectrum are misleading leftists to destructive ends, but not in the same way that they try to mislead conservatives. While globalists will attempt to trick conservatives to act more like socialists, they do not try to trick leftists into acting more like conservatives. Rather, they trick leftists into becoming even more extreme in their collectivist tendencies. The end goal of the globalist cabal is to eventually reach a point where EVERYONE in the world is a supporter of totalitarian centralization – a world where everyone is a leftist, whether they realize it or not. ... If everyone is born different, then fairness in society becomes subjective and inapplicable, and only accomplishment, hard work and merit can be trusted to determine what is "fair". If people's characters are not necessarily ruled by their environment, then this means there is no point in creating a social Utopia to micro-manage every aspect of our lives. If psychopaths are not made but born, then the question of inherent evil becomes a possibility, and according to leftists there is no such thing as evil people, only evil systems that spoil the minds of good people. If gender is inborn and the vast majority of people fall on one side or the other psychologically, not just biologically, then leftists can no longer claim that gender is a social construct that must be dismantled. ... People who struggle and overcome life's obstacles tend to be much wiser and more skilled than people who never had to put in the effort. Leftists want to take away all adversity, not in the name of equal opportunity, but in the name of equal outcome. In the process, they make all of society weaker, wimpier, less innovative and less productive. In a leftist world, humanity would have to create artificial “adversity camps” just to retain its survival instincts. But then, of course, those camps would eventually be put through the fairness filter as well... ... I started writing this essay in part because I've noticed a steady stream of articles in mainstream media outlets posing as studies of “conservative extremists”. I figure, if they are going to analyze us inaccurately then we can do them one better and analyze them as accurately as possible. In reading some of these pieces I find that leftists have created their own language completely separate from the rest of the world and reality. That which they interpret as “racism”, or “misogyny”, or “fascism” does not fit the textbook definition of said labels. They have developed their own bewildering vocabulary filled with made-up words and illogical concepts to describe the world in a way that fits their desires and supports their accusations. Conservatives don't live in this world and frankly, we don't ever want to. To them we are heretics, or barbarians. In their eyes we are the dirty untouchables, the “deplorables”. We cannot be saved, and should be destroyed. Zealots always seek to treat ideological outsiders as mortal enemies even when those individuals have done nothing to them. The fact is, most modern political crimes and genocides have been enacted in the name of socialist ideals; in the name of concepts the left holds dear. We continue to suffer under these ideals in the name of globalism. How many people have suffered because of decentralization and individual rights? not many, if any. How many people have been exterminated in the name of the non-aggression principle? Answer: Zero. Conservatives are certainly not evil, or extreme. But in the twilight zone of leftist thought, we are the monsters. This is why leftist behavior is becoming so incomprehensible. Corporate behemoths like Sony, Disney, Netflix, Facebook, Google, etc. have chosen to force feed the public social justice ideology, and have placed their business at risk because less and less people are buying the religion they are selling. The same is true with companies like Gillette or Starbucks, which are willing to insult their own customer base and sabotage themselves just to preach the social justice gospel. Why would they do this? Because they see conservatives as demonic force that must be erased from civilized society. We are not even allowed to be heard, otherwise the evil magic of our arguments will mesmerize the masses and turn them away from the light of cultural Marxism. Another more covert reason is that through the use of popular media and corporate influence globalists are able to exploit the useful idiots on the left and manipulate them into acting even more absurd than they already do. And, by extension, they hope to terrify conservatives into throwing out the Constitution and going full fascist as a defensive response. They are absolutely willing to bring down entire corporate structures to make this possible. They are going for broke. ... Many leftists desperately desire a kind of apocalypse, but an apocalypse on their terms. The globalists are giving them one, or at least a farcical version called “climate change”, in which mankind angers nature with his production and progress, but is smote down with catastrophe while the devout leftists watch on in their purity saying “We tried to warn you, but you would not repent...” This is of course fiction, based on junk science funded by organizations with agendas to undermine real science and common sense. The solution to this apocalypse, coincidentally, always ends up being more government, more control over human trade and progress, population reduction, and perhaps even global governance of every aspect of life. Otherwise, we might incur the wrath of the great leftist war god of destruction – carbon fed global warming. In the minds of leftists that will be the moment when we will all understand that they were the sane ones, that their cult was right all along, and we will come to them willingly, prostrating ourselves before their mighty intellectual superiority. It is this type of ignorant thinking that makes the left an easily exploited tool for the powers that be. It is also the source of calamity throughout the ages. Attempting to appeal to these people's better nature is not going to help us as they are too far lost in their own dimension, and neither would using big government as a weapon against them. It is quite a conundrum. [ Just as well Firetruckerberg is here to save us all with a new (((private entity))) based digital fiat system... “I can't believe it's not freedom.” ]

Youtube Demonetizing Law Auditors? Channels Tracking Social Corp Actions?
by grarpamp 19 Jun '19

News Now Patrick claims demonetization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjum47qWLDE Would seem a bit of a new stretch for youtube to go after this category of youtubers but who knows what these companies and their bosses are up to. Here is another potential case in the same category... Granite State Transparency interviews Ian Mcguire's SOTHEYCALLITFREEDOM channel about it being deleted by youtube, kangaroo court, ACLU, etc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF7iaEMEA-0 In some deplatform categories and cases, not all sides of the situations are represented for people to evaluate... companies rarely speak, nor is the opposing opinion present, unless like speakers corner where everyone's filming covering everything realtime no edits... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=speakers+corner Are there more new categories of youtubers being banned by youtube? Are there channels dedicated to trying to objectively review each category and case from all sides? Any sites tracking court cases against companies involved in arbitrary censorship? All the different categories of censored, demonetized youtubers should know about things like DTube, IPFS, youtube-dl, I2P torrent, crypto messaging, support via cryptocurrency, all sorts of alternatives, redundancy and backup options, etc. Not exactly fast, live, easy, or popular, but basically impossible to censor. Are there any channels filming in public journalising about the obvious filming that public can generally see know understand and respond to, compared to unseen cable taps, datamining, surveillance, marketing, etc? In "interviewing the public" format? Though those taking things to being harassing assholish to the public... versus genuine conversation, as educators covering printed [case] law in hand, etc... tend to defeat their own point, turn viewers off, get in trouble for erring outside scope, etc. Some reference links to this category... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-aC4Ped50Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hYCTZwkRdk News Now by Patrick Roth https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHlw81Fx-4KVng3Oq-VP8ow/videos Selena Carol https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOgBuJDh9Sz2sz7kVB_Srg/videos Nomad News by Josh Russell https://www.youtube.com/nomadnews/videos Granite State Transparency https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbnpo8LU-FORE_dqSPAF8g/videos Hate The State by Ian McGuire https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCigIy-NOjCbEhBlb14udUSg/videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utBZW50Bl28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v0hPqgTZfw https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fake+auditor

The US government has no interest in prosecuting me
by Ryan Carboni 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

There is no doubt a list (metaphorical if not physical) of law enforcement techniques that are legal but would either be widely questioned, or potentially adjudicated against. Through various means, the US government likely wishes those techniques not to be public. The US government is making me obviously aware of those techniques. The US government is run by morons.
