The paper is very long and this is just an excerpt, but I urge everyone to save a copy and re-read it once a year as I am today. I posted this three years ago and many people responded that they thought it was the most important paper describing the left that they had ever read. I still think that it is for me. It is amazing how applicable it is to current events in society. I hope many will gain some insight from this paper in this new year. MC

what the world is witnessing today can be summed up more simply in a single phrase, “modern society...where “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups” meets “crazy people don’t realize they are”. L.Star
Thank you for posting it.
Well worth the read. Pseudo-reality certainly describes any belief that a person can be the opposite sex of their DNA. We have businesses and government trying to make it a fireable offense or even a crime not to pretend that a person can be the opposite sex.
Only the really smart people know what is real.
Like the professors at Harvard?
Bttt. Happy New Year!
For later.

Best wishes.
“Like the professors at Harvard?”
Many years ago I realized there was a huge difference between smart people and the educated. The professors at Harvard are the educated.
Smart people are those that are creative in nature and are good at problem solving. It used to be smart people entered the STEM fields. Many blue collar technical fields have smart people.
The left is full of the educated. The Harvard professors are highly educated parading around quite arrogantly as smart people. Journalists are at the very bottom of the educated in terms of being smart.
Our society is geared towards believing educated and smart are one in the same. If one is not educated, there’s no way he can be smart.
Just my opinion.
Extremely accurate…..for the 1940s.
True of Hitler and Marx and their true believers.
There are groups in the US who suffer from this.
The radical environmentalists. LGBTQ. Anarchists.
The criminals have risen to the top and control the Democrat Party.
The leaders of the Democrat Party are interested in the trappings of wealth for themselves, their families and their friends.
You do not see the Bidens or the Clintons or the Obamas or the Pelosi’s or George Soros living in one room apartments printing flyers calling for revolution.
They want wealth and immunity from prosecution for their filthy lifestyles.
This article goes hand in hand with Mattias Desmet’s work titled “THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TOTALITARIANISM”.
~25% are the hard core brainwashed- they steadfastly believe, endorse and promote the lies.
~60% are the go along to get along-intuitively, they are aware of the lies, but are silent, not wanting conflict.
~15% are in absolute defiance to the lies- they are vocal in denouncing the lies.
The battle to defeat the lies is within the middle 60%. They are the ones, once activated to speak the truth, who prevent the liars from implementing totalitarian schemes. If they remain silent, the lies continue.
The first group will never change from their programming. EVER.
Despite all of his faults, he's the guy who takes delight in tearing down all of the artificial shibboleths they have created for themselves.
Some people think it is not possible to know what is real at all. I have read Joseph Pieper’s book Leisure. Good read.
I’ll check it out.
p
All this work, going all the way back to 1945, leads to Bandy X Lee MD and her colleagues writing books about the dangerous craziness of Trump and MAGA people and how they all need forced psychiatric treatment.
It’s pseudoscientific nonsense.
The roots of Germany 1933-1945 were in Germany 1918-1933, not in psychopathology.
How America gets fixed, if she gets fixed, will require a lot of outside the box thinking, and the people who do the fixing will be attacked using these ideas.
