Take for
example, the much maligned and hated Christopher Columbus. It is not possible
that one single human being had caused all the havoc the leftist academia and
their worshippers are heaping upon his memory.
Columbus
managed to sail his way to the new world, and on October 12, 1492 sighted land,
probably Watling Island in the Bahamas, even though he was looking for a western
passage to China and India. There is such rabid leftist and misplaced hatred
for this man as if he was the biggest genocidal maniac in the history of the
world. The cause of such virulent reactions is likely the decades of propaganda
indoctrination in schools masquerading as history.
“Totalitarians
are very ingenious in arousing latent guilt in us by repeating over and over
again how criminally the Western world has acted toward innocent and peaceful
people.” (Dr. Joost Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind, p. 71)
Can we coexist with a totalitarian system? It is highly unlikely because the definition
of coexistence of the totalitarian is
quite different from the definition of the free citizen, living in peace with
one another. To a totalitarian, coexistence
means total subordination to their whims, plans, and ideology. “The
psychological roots of totalitarianism are usually irrational, destructive, and
primitive, though disguised behind some ideology.” (p. 74)
The citizens
of totalitarianism become robots, speak in whispers, and look over their
shoulders, officially bombarded by speeches and slogans that are empty and
devoid of meaning and logic. Human beings must conform to survive and thus
become robots. Man becomes mentally coerced and intimidated. Humans then become
herds of sheeple—indoctrinated by enthusiasm and happy expectations for promised
change and then followed and replaced by feelings of terror and panic. Dr.
Meerloo calls it “personal and political somnambulism” or sleepwalking. (p. 82)
In the March
7, 1968 episode of Dragnet, titled “The Big Departure,” teenagers are
determined to start their own country on an island off the coast of California.
To finance this new country, they are caught shoplifting, and the infamous Jack
Webb gives them a lecture that seems fitting even today. http://www.itsworthashare.com/jack-webbs-the-big-departure-speech-still-holds-true-today/#isGACLTqKEAVq3Af.99
Every generation feels dissatisfied with what they possess even
though they have opportunities and wealth that other nations can only dream of,
but they expect the world to understand their misplaced dissatisfaction.
Without a real poverty baseline or point of reference, they have no idea how
well off they truly are when compared to other nations or other points in history.
Nothing is ever perfect but usually each generation lives better than the
previous one.
“You are taller, stronger, better educated, and you live
longer than the last generation. And we don’t think that’s all together bad.
You probably have never seen a quarantine sign on your neighbor’s door, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, whooping cough. Probably none of your classmates have been
crippled with polio,” said the Dragnet character Jack Webb.Leftist academia is quick to point out that Americans are war mongers and thus immoral. But a lot of people around the world are “free today to make their own mistakes because of it” and to spew the venom of progressivism.
“You are in a hurry, you grew up on instant orange juice,
flip a dial--instant entertainment, dial seven digits--instant communication,
turn a key, push a pedal--instant transportation, flash a card--instant money, push
a few buttons--solve a problem, but some problems you cannot get quick answers
to no matter how much you want them.”
You want equality, social justice, instant gratification and
reward without effort. How can you justify stealing from the rich and the
middle class and giving to the welfare class as “entitlements” when they never
made an effort to earn it, paid taxes into such a fund, nor were they entitled
to? How can you hurt somebody or steal from someone who was never responsible
for the wrongs of the past? Where is the social justice in that?
Jack Webb’s advice resonates for people with experience and
common sense. “Don’t break things up in the name of progress. Don’t break a
stick over someone’s head to get them to see the light. Be careful of his
rights! Your property, your rights, and your person are not any better than
his. And next time, you may be the one to get it. You knew a man who killed six
million people and called it social
improvement.” A new country will
never solve your problems-- just make the old one work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZo2hhvvlpw
(Dragnet, Jack Webb’s the Big Departure speech)
A 1981 movie, My
Dinner with Andre, explained reality through the lens of boredom, an “unconscious,
self-perpetuating form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian
government based on money.” In this theory, the process of boredom makes a
person fall asleep and a sleeping individual cannot say no. “I met this Swedish physicist who told me that he no longer watches television, reads newspapers, completely cuts them out of his life, because he really does feel the wind leading into some kind of Orwellian nightmare and everything that you hear now contributes to turning you into a robot,” explained one of the characters.
New Yorkers, he said, are a classic example of people who want to leave their town but they can’t because “New York is the model for the new concentration camp that has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards and they have this pride, they built their own prison and they live in this state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners and, as a result may have lost the capacity and the ability, having been lobotomized, to leave or even see it as a prison.”
He lamented that he and his friends should get out but “the
problem is where to go because it seems quite obvious that the whole world is
going in the same direction.”
He continued, “It’s quite possible that the 1960s represented
the last burst of the human being before it was extinguished, and this is the
beginning of the rest of the future. From now on, all there is going to be around
are these robots, feeling nothing, thinking nothing. And there will be nobody
left around to remind them that there was once a species called a human being
with feelings and thoughts, and history and memory are now being erased, and
soon nobody will really remember that life existed on the planet.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68JLWyPxt7g
