DOOR#1 = TRUTH, DOOR# 2 = INSANITY

When people refuse to acknowledge truth, when they rail against science as nothing more than a 'social construct' or as something dreamed up by the 'colonialist patriarchy' as another way to exert power over the oppressed:

According to Cheryl E. Matias and Paul T. Le, both of the University of Colorado at Denver, the belief that the apprehension of, and substance of, scientific discoveries is independent of whatever one’s skin colour may happen to be, is a problem. One that results in the spread of “whiteness ideology,” and thereby “white supremacy.”

Nikita Vladimirov pokes through the mental wreckage:

According to Matias and Le, “our science is out of touch with the experiences of our students of Colour and, instead, represents post-colonial discourses of White power and control.” “Whiteness embraces White ideology, and because Whites are at the apex of the racial hierarchy, whiteness becomes normalized and is invisible to those who benefit the most from it,” the scholars observe. “This is particularly troubling because the normality of whiteness means that Whites do not believe that they are actively investing in White supremacy or racism, which keeps oppression intact.”

...you just know that these unfortunates have opened a door into another realm of existence.

Aldous Huxley tried that with mescalin and in fact penned a paper on his experiences called 'The Doors of Perception' from which the 60's band The Doors took their name.

These folk are stepping through that doorway and entering into another realm altogether:

“I WANT OUR PRESENCE, OUR VOICES, AND OUR HERBAL GIFTS TO BE A REASSURANCE FOR PROTESTORS THAT THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING, OUR SPIRIT GUIDES ARE WITH US, AND WE CAN WIN OUR COLLECTIVE LIBERATION.”
Queer Magic for the Resistance (QM4R) is a collective and political affinity group based in Oakland, California. Since its inception in early 2017, QM4R has trained and mobilized street medics, energy healers, and artists to show up for local demonstrations against fascism and police violence. Among its many goals is the reclaiming of magic and healing (both physical and spiritual) as central tools in the fight against systemic oppression. I spoke with Vanessa, a white genderqueer person and founder of QM4R, and Iman, a Black queer femme who has worked closely with QM4R since its inception, about how they envision the role of magic and healing in militant resistance movements.

The inmates are now officially in charge of the asylum.

GRAMSCI2TRUMP

One of Gramsci’s most influential theory’s to have been adapted by the political left is this one; the idea that:

…..revolutionary practice and theoretical correctness are identical attributes, that learning equal’s wisdom and that wisdom equals the right to rule. (Scruton R, Fools Frauds and Firebrands, p. 199)

As a result of Gramsci’s acolytes successful ‘long march through the institutions’ the ‘organs of meaning and influence’ in the West today; politics, education, organised religion, the media, entertainment, the arts etc, have been infiltrated and occupied by left-wing totalitarians who have locked the doors of access behind themselves and bar everyone but fellow believers access to these institutions.

This has given rise to an orthodoxy of opinion that brooks no deviations, and the ruthless ‘culling’ of dissenting views, usually by means of intimidation and mockery rather than through epistemological rigour.

The end result is that we now have in the West, governments staffed by petty bureaucrats who have paid for worthless degrees[1] and are therefore unable/unwilling to find employment within the actual, real-world business environment but who think that because they have a ‘higher education’, and are therefore ‘wise’, they are the logical ‘rulers’ of society and are willing and able to put their theoretical ideologies into practice regardless of which political party is actually ‘elected’. What America is currently discovering and calling the ‘deep state’.

Thus we have a bunch of people completely unqualified to run any real-world organisation running the national economy, and in an increasingly socialistic governmental paradigm these are the people who oversee everything from farming to health to the defence sector and unsurprisingly, they are making an almighty mess of things.

And here is where the real genius of Gramsci clicks into high gear. With the capture of these ‘organs of meaning’ left wing activists have insinuated themselves into positions where they are promoted as the knowledgeable rescuers of the failing society. They are presented as the ones who are the hereditary rulers because they are the ‘experts’. They cause the problems then they step in as the saviours and the situation only gets worse, but the cycle continues because the ‘normals’ are constantly fed the line that it is the right-wing fundamentalists, the greedy capitalists or the Jewish illuminati that are the real villains.

Trump has upended that linear progression that has been on an unbroken trajectory for the past 40 plus years and it infuriates the powerbrokers/The neo-feudalists, and that is why they are so determined to bring him to his knees.

SNIPPETS FROM THE WEB

Biologist Heather Heying on the Mao-ling urge to shut down thought:

When banal observations like “men and women are different heights” prompts the accusation that I’m both brainwashed and a Nazi, it’s clear that this was not good faith protest. It is true that the authoritarian-left is denying biology, but the deeper truth of the situation is perhaps even more concerning. The incoherence of the protesters’ responses and the fact that the walkout was scheduled in advance suggests something darker: the protesters are “read-only,” like a computer file that cannot be altered. They will not engage ideas — they will not even hear ideas — because their minds are already made up. They have been led to believe that exposure to information is in and of itself dangerous.

................and

“James [Damore] argues, accurately, that there are differences between men and women,” evolutionary biologist Heather Heying said during the panel discussion. “This is a strange position to be in, to be arguing for something that is so universally accepted in biology… You can be irritated by a lot of truths, but taking offence,” — here, Heying paused as hecklers shouted and began to walk out — “is a response that is a rejection of reality.” A non-student protester then yanked the cables from the sound system and shoved the equipment to the ground, breaking an antenna. She was promptly detained by police. “[Damore’s] a piece of shit!” she screamed as she was issued a citation for criminal mischief in the second degree. “Even the women in there have been brainwashed!” Another protester stated: “Nazis are not welcome in civil society.”

Kirsten Grind and Douglas MacMillan on “diversity” in practice at Google, and attempts to hide it from public scrutiny:

YouTube last year stopped hiring white and [East] Asian males for technical positions because they didn’t help the world’s largest video site achieve its goals for improving diversity, according to a civil lawsuit filed by a former employee. The lawsuit, filed by Arne Wilberg, a white male who worked at Google for nine years, alleges… YouTube recruiters were instructed to cancel interviews with applicants who weren’t female, black or Hispanic, and to “purge entirely” the applications of people who didn’t fit those categories.

Via Darleen in the comments, a telling illustration of “social justice” psychology:

“This is what it’s like to be a black student at New York University,” Nia [Harris] wrote in her Facebook post. “You go to a dining hall during February and you see ‘Black History Month Meal’ plastered outside the entrance. You walk inside the dining hall only to find ribs, collard greens, and mac and cheese.”

And on a campus where grievance is currency, heads had to roll:

Two Aramark employees have been fired by the food service after preparing a meal at NYU during Black History Month that was deemed racially “insensitive.” Reports suggest that the employees are African-American, though Aramark has not confirmed details about the ethnicity of the fired employees.

It’s hard to miss the class connotations of all this “woke” status-signalling. Someone who can spend around a quarter of a million dollars on attending a fashionable university feigns outrage over a menu option and then campaigns until two working-class employees are humiliated and left jobless for some sub-microscopic sin – i.e., failing to intuit the ever-changing fashions of campus “social justice” - all while the sophomore in question publicly gloats and declares her own victimhood.

Imagine the kind of utter bitch who would delight in doing that.
