The Emptiness of Today's Left: No Principles and No Truth





 I still despise the right wing. Don't get me wrong here. The dividing line now is between the authoritarians and the anti-authoritarians. Which side are you on? You know it's scary to be on Facebook, seeing "friends" post things about how people like me should be denied medical care, a job [if I was someone that was able to work] and should not be allowed anywhere in public life. The vaxxes don't stop transmission and don't make anyone immune. I now know a third person diagnosed with Covid who was fully vaccinated. I'm not sure if this is a PCR cold case or not. However look at the totalitarian left now. Why should this be accepted? I wanted to share this writing off reddit by "Remarkable Winter7"

"This covid hysteria has exposed how malleable so-called progressive beliefs are, as if they were marketing slogans for companies that can be changed with new management.

"My body my choice", except when it comes to medical treatments that are promoted in the mass media marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry.

"Black lives matter", except when Black Americans are to face de facto segregation via vaccine mandates because of their distrust of vaccines due to being experimented upon historically.

"ACAB", except when a totalitarian surveillance system would be required to enforce mandates.

"Believe all women", except when women are reporting unexplained disruptions of their cycle after taking the vaccines. In this case, they are just hysterical women, which is the characterization progressives had criticized in the past when women's medical issues were downplayed.

"The revolution will not be televised", except when the media is promoting a consistent message for a year and a half, in that case, actually trust everything that is televised.

"Mental health awareness", except when you are socialized to see other human beings as disease vectors, and instead of promoting rich community ties that can benefit mental life, all interactions should be mediated via corporate technology

I can go on, but it is quite easy to see that either these beliefs were never core principles, or that they were always the window-dressing to a neoliberal outlook on life that uses 'woke' language in order to secure and expand to other markets. As I have mentioned before, this is either a reflection of the aspirations to class climbing when it counts, a principle-less political outlook, a tendency towards fear and neuroticism and peer pressure that is susceptible to mass media marketing."

  1. Hi Peeps,
    Have you heard of Peggy Hall? I just ran across her today, and thought you might be interested in a couple of her youtube videos to start, "what to do when Fema comes knocking," and "How to get your religeous exemption". Finally someone who doesn't intend to go quietly into the night.

  2. Do you ever wonder why Nazi Germany is our immediate go-to when picturing totalitarianism?

    Why is there not one single other instance that comes to our minds? Plenty of other examples out there, but we always go straight to Nazi Germany. Is it all the movies maybe?

    1. To anonymous,
      Not sure the point you are making, but could you be more specific and cite some of those well known examples?

      Delete
    2. Yes what are you trying to say? I could talk about the Stasi too, we are going that route. Maoist China? There's endless regimes that things have devolved to matching.

    3. Different anon here.

      The 1930s Spanish Civil War and its result might be a better comparison for America's situation than Germany's fall to Nazism. The end is still fascism, but with Spain, it in reaction to left wing excesses. Check out this documentary for more on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5f9hp0IP4

      It's important to remember that fascism isn't really a system so much as it is an overwhelming tendency to resort to violence to get their way. It isn't at all about baring people from your private property for not being vaccinated. It isn't just about bossing people around - which will happen when you're in a place controlled by someone else (airports, workplaces, road ways, etc).

      You can call these people Nazis if you want, it's a free country. Just keep in mind that a real fascist wouldn't respond to your criticism with just words.

    4. Anon,
      Your youtube video is sadly not available any longer.
      Given your warning...
      "You can call these people Nazis if you want, it's a free country. Just keep in mind that a real fascist wouldn't respond to your critisism with just words,"
      What do you suggest would be the wise course of action for one to take given this, as it pertains to these current times and circumstances?

    5. Anyone who wants to barricade unvaxxed from their business even ones willing to wear masks, is a Nazi in my book.

      I don't want to get into right or left quibbles. Fascism and totalitarianism can come from the right and the left. That's just a distraction. Left flavored from Mao, Right flavored from Franco. Orwell denounced all of it.

      The way America is going with censorship, maybe imprisonment is next for "saying the wrong thing", they are trying to pass laws. With the NDAA you don't have right to that trial anymore, they circumvented the Constitution after 9-11. If you are labeled a 'citizen "domestic terrorist". There's those who are trying to outlaw warnings about the clot shot making it punishable by law. America is on the path way to fascism, and complete totalitarianism. Only an absolutely brainwashed person at this point would be unable to see it.

    6. August 27th 10:42 PM Anon, I am the Anon you replied to. The video still works for me. Perhaps it's been blocked in your country.

      In answer to your question, the one course of action is to just leave people alone. You might think that means you can force someone to open their doors to you, but it does not. On the flip side, they can't force you to wear a mask or take a drug you don't want either. That may mean you'll have to get your lunch elsewhere or quit your job. There are no fascists in this scenario. Consequences are unavoidable - the least we can do is make sure they go to the right place.

      We could for instance, force a business to stay open. Then the employees might quit. Those who remain will get sick and stop showing up anyway, forcing the place to close again. We could force employees to work, but then customers might not show up. Those that do will get sick and stop showing up anyway. Any time you have to apply public force to make people work, you're not in good faith doing so in the name of freedom.

      So it's best to just leave people alone. Go without your mask. I'll go without your patronage.

      And to Peep... the video I linked is very old. There is no "wokeness" or "political correctness" to be found. I hope you enjoy it.

      With regards to the idea that people can be Nazis for wearing a mask... some people were wearing them before Covid. They weren't fascists back then, they just didn't want to get sick. What changed? They didn't. They weren't a threat to you then. Why would they be now?

    7. I found the video, and will watch later. I know a little bit about the Spanish Civil War though mostly through Orwell's writings about it.

      I just want left alone. People are afraid of not being left alone. People are lose their livelihoods now. They have made everything a "threat", I mean think of the insanity of firing all the health care people who see the bad health effects from the vaxxes first hand [some destroying lives for good] for refusing the vaxx when we are in this global pandemic and supposedly the health care system is overstretched how is that not insane.

      Sure maybe the libertarians have it right here, everyone leave everyone alone, I'll have to go to the unvaxxed restaurants and homes. The social contract has broken down with the billionaires anyway grabbing everything they can who want to turn human beings into chattel and block chains they profit from. The social contract is in tatters. It's obvious whoever is in power now don't even care if people starve, if they don't take a dangerous life destroying vaxx, where they have to play adverse side effects roulette every 6 months. So yeah maybe your solution is the way things will have to go. I think it's better that people are left alone rather then a totalitarian society, that uses pandemics for slave. Also here too I will mention the privilege among all those who mostly support this mess where they don't have to worry about homelessness if they are disabled by a vaxx, or if they lose their job. Being left alone may be the lesser of the two evils rather then controlled, mandated into taking a death shot every 6 months. With the Spanish Civil war you had two sides of opposing views, anarchists/socialists/communists vs the monarchist and traditionalists, we almost have the same thing going to day in the USA, though we don't really have a "left" perse in our case.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homage_to_Catalonia

      Both sides in America support totalitarianism to a degree. People have lost touch. Americans still have it "good" to a degree right now but that's rapidly sliding away.

      The thing that changed? They want to force a shot on people that can kill or disable them. They want to put people in camps: THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN AUSTRALIA, they want to take people's jobs and ability to survive away.

  4. Lots of interesting and in-line thoughts, thinking and examples happening on Paul Craig Roberts.org I guess as an ex secretary to the Treasury of the United States, he's just a yehoo too! No need to listen to him, what could he possibly know?...!

  5. Don't want the shot because, for the last 60 some years, my immune system has treated me real good. i don't want to meddle with it.

    1. A lot of us are refusing it because we don't want our immune system destroyed, it's different when they have something that works along side our immune system instead of usurping it.

  6. So, here's about someone who supposedly wasn't a fascist, nor a totalitarian, nor an authoritarian... or was he?

    "[George] Washington issued the order to have all troops inoculated [against smallpox] on Feb. 5, 1777, in a letter to John Hancock, who was president of the Second Continental Congress. In another letter, Washington ordered all recruits arriving in Philadelphia be inoculated."

    https://statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021/08/02/did-george-washington-mandate-vaccines-smallpox-continental-army-during-revolutionary-war/5456106001/

    "At the time, the practice of infecting the individual with a less-deadly form of the disease was widespread throughout Europe. Most British troops were immune to Variola, giving them an enormous advantage against the vulnerable colonists. (Fenn 2001, 131) Conversely, the history of inoculation in America (beginning with the efforts of the Reverend Cotton Mather in 1720) was pocked by the fear of the contamination potential of the process. Such fears led the Continental Congress to issue a proclamation in 1776 prohibiting Surgeons of the Army to inoculate.

    "Washington suspected the only available recourse was inoculation, yet contagion risks aside, he knew that a mass inoculation put the entire army in a precarious position should the British hear of his plans. Moreover, Historians estimate that less than a quarter of the Continental Army had ever had the virus; inoculating the remaining three quarters and every new recruit must have seemed daunting. Yet the high prevalence of disease among the army regulars was a significant deterrent to desperately needed recruits, and a dramatic reform was needed to allay their fears.

    "Weighing the risks, on February 5th of 1777, Washington finally committed to the unpopular policy of mass inoculation by writing to inform Congress of his plan. Throughout February, Washington, with no precedent for the operation he was about to undertake, covertly communicated to his commanding officers orders to oversee mass inoculations of their troops in the model of Morristown and Philadelphia (Dr. Shippen's Hospital). At least eleven hospitals had been constructed by the year's end.

    "Variola raged throughout the war, devastating the Native American population and slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom. Yet the isolated infections that sprung up among Continental regulars during the southern campaign failed to incapacitate a single regiment. With few surgeons, fewer medical supplies, and no experience, Washington conducted the first mass inoculation of an army at the height of a war that immeasurably transformed the international system. Defeating the British was impressive, but simultaneously taking on Variola was a risky stroke of genius."

  7. There's a difference here, that small pox vaccine worked. if we used your metaphor, and small pox vaccines were like the Covid vaxx, even the vaxxed would be able to still get small pox and die of it. it looks like 18th century standards of quality were higher.

  8. Hi Peeps,
    I can't find a youtube of an interview I saw several days ago by a woman reporter (thi k she quit her job because of cencorship) of Dr. Peter MacCollough. It was the most comprehensive interview to date, where he wraps it all up, including the censorship. It had a picture of a character with a pinocchio nose and the corona virus protein syuck on the end. Was cooking at the time, didn't write it down, and now can't find it. Did you see it or know how I could find it? Thanks.

    1. I tried to find the video, do you remember any words in the title. It may have been censored. Sometimes I see videos that later disappear even off the alternative channels.

  9. Hi Peeps,
    Wrote a big long thing then cut off. My bad I'm sure. Thanks for your efforts, especially in light of all you have put up here, but I'm guessing it has to do with people knowing they will be taken down by Google and company, and then beckoning one to an alternative channel to continue, such as Vevo in this case, and in many others, such as odysee, bitchute LBRY, and others. I try and go there and Google puts a visible "lock sign" on it and won't allow me to go further. I'm sure there is something I should know by now, but haven't figured out.
    Hope you and Mr. Peeps are well.

  10. Hi Peeps,
    Oh My Goodness, thanks for the effort, especially in light of all you have put up here! I look forward to reading it. No specific words, but I should have been able to come across it by description. I DO remember after the interview at the end, that it indicated it was available on "Vevo. Maybe that was my one chance.
    I do think this might be another example of people knowing their youtubes will be taken down, and hoping to reach a quick interim audience, and then beckon one to an alternative channel, such as Odysee, LBRY, bitchute, and now Vevo.
    I still cannot access any of these (or don't know how) as I am going through Google, who just puts a "lock sign" on such requests.
    I know I am technilogically challenged, perhap if I had more time, I could find my way through it.
    I hope all is well with you and Mr. Peeps.
    Chelle
