The Average Middle Class Normie Still Needs their Ukraine Hysteria like a Class A Mass Formation Psychosis Drug
Until the New Drug Comes Along
If you want to make a middle class Normie's brain literally explode. To the point that they wish you harm, even death; just merely suggest they were duped into their Ukrainian support and that just perhaps Zalensky and Co are not the paragons of virtue and infallibility they have been told they are. Even in the slightest manner you convey such, and they go fuckin ballistic. It is astounding to behold their reaction.
Like they are all in Scientology or something. They don't even revert to the "Conspiracy Theorist" bit. They go direct to the blood boiling hysteria and hatred. It is even more cultist than the Covid. And yet, it is Covid in a manner of speaking. Allow me to explain.
For them, they went from Covid/Lockdowns to Ukraine in an instant and so it is all part of the same continuum. They see no distinction between 'Stay Home Save Lives" and "Putin is a War Criminal". They were carried from one state to the other by the same establishment using the same tools and methods. They literally believe that Putin is now going to kill their granny.
In some bizarre Jungian form of compensation within their adrenaline-fulled reality tunnels, when they drive trucks into the Russian Embassy gates they are – at some weird dissociative level – also driving the truck into the Covid virus itself. Every time they get a Covid Vaccine, within their miasmic level of consciousness, the syringe in their arm is also a missile fired at the Kremlin. It is all the same thing to them.
It is a masterclass in how a cult drifts the narrative from one belief package to the other to the point whereby the cult members do not care about what the agenda is. They have to fanatically defend the agenda because the same leadership group is behind both. It is only the 'current thing' that they defend hysterically. They do not care what the Current Thing is specifically, as all the things that they are told to concern themselves with are all – like the many aspect of some Hindu god – one and the same and the whole.
What is interesting is that there has been no new 'current thing' given to them to defend for a while now (Gaza was not black and white enough) so they are stuck in the Ukraine holding pattern. Be assured, as soon as the next agenda is revealed they will migrate towards that. Most likely; “Trump Killed My Granny in Kiev".
The sheer Pavlovian Totality of it is astounding to behold at times.
I'm left wondering what happens to such people when there cause creases to grant them the attention they crave.
The ageing process feels somewhat similar. Things that you shouted from the rooftop to attack or defend become just noise to a younger generation.
There's a story I came across about the fall of the Berlin wall. It's about an officer comforting one of his men who was crying. If the wall could just go like that, what was the point of his life as a border guard.
I think that's what awaits these people. A long, imuno compromised aging of irrelevance.
'Cult' is the word for it. I have observed educated and intelligent people I used to admire become apoplectic at the mere mention of Donald Trump's name and the suggestion that maybe he was not the worst US president in recent memory.
But then we are told that 3rd-level educated people poisoned their own children in Jonestown because their 'leader' told them to. Cults have been around for a very long time but this is the first time I've seen so many people either advocating lunacy or at least going along with it.
We are truly living in bizarre times.
