Danzig Revisited
A Reprint of an Article I Wrote in 2014 Inspired by the Madness I Witnessed All Around me Today
The Danzig Effect is a term which I have come up with, and is based upon reading about the collapse of the collective psychic integration within the enclave of the Free City of Danzig during the 1930s. According to the letters from an Irish diplomat stationed there in the run-up to the Second World War named Seán Lester.
Lester, wrote remarkably detailed and socially aware dispatches concerning the piecemeal behavioural and social deterioration by the residents of the city as 1939 approached. Murders, rapes and what he called 'immoral' behaviour in public became the norm, as well as an overall toxic atmosphere which developed within the life of the city's residents; as if the people knew they were in the last days of peace.
This resulted in their repressed pathological undercurrents literally turning feral. The atmosphere became increasingly more dark, toxic and oppressive as the psychology of the city deteriorated. A TV documentary I watched many years ago interviewed people who lived there at the time and they spoke of sleepless nights and sudden viscous attacks by strangers out of the blue.
All decency has gone out the window, as they sink further into dogma and vicious hysteria. The death cults still waiting for their promised salvation are turning on everyone apart from the leadership, the mentally ill and hysterical are increasingly racing into pathological overdrive in recent weeks, with more and more hateful and sadistic behaviour.
No one escapes the Danzig Effect when the darkness of the Collective Shadow approaches.
Something wicked this way comes...
"All decency has gone out the window, as they sink further into dogma and vicious hysteria." That says everything about our times. Excellent article.
I'm usually upbeat when out in my local city, but there is definitely a change of vibe at the moment.I don't think Pride Month helps because I have noticed lots of mentally ill young people and lost souls around, wearing rainbow feather bowers, tight short shorts etc.They don't seem to know what or who they are...All very sad and sinister!
