Cancel Culture is not to be underestimated in its ferocity. Its ability to “remove” any opposition to a supported narrative has proven extremely successful in its massive deployment over the last seven years.
Starting most significantly with the “President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton”, this approach is absurdly simple, which is one of the reasons it is so effective.
Here is how you “cancel” your critics.
Present your narrative
When someone opposes it, do not even answer that opposition.
Present your narrative in a calm, cool, soothing tone (usually!!)
If someone opposes you publicly, let them state their point, and then dismiss them without even an answer. Make the person crazy with rage in your doing this.
The critic will lose his or her head and start shouting at you.
To the sleepy masses listening to your narrative, it will appear that you are sane and your critic is insane.
Repeat again and again
Goebbels rightly said that if one repeats a lie often enough, it “becomes truth.” It doesn’t really become TRUE, but it becomes what everyone repeats when asked a question related to the topic. Let’s look at a few such lines we were fed in recent years, after the aforementioned “Trump Colluded with Russia” narrative:
Donald Trump is a fascist
Donald Trump is a racist
Donald Trump is a sexist
Donald Trump fomented an insurrection on January 6th, 2021
There was an insurrection on January 6th, 2021
Covid-19 is a natural virus, transmitted from bat to pangolin to human.
Covid-19 vaccines always work
Covid-19 vaccines are always safe
Covid-19 vaccines prevent serious illness and death
Covid-19 vaccines won’t stop the virus but they will keep you from serious illness and death
Covid-19 vaccines need to be boosted
Covid-19 vaccines don’t stop the virus at all, but it is still vitally important that our kids get the jab with or without parental knowledge or consent.
Boys can be girls and girls can be boys, except when the girl objects but if the girl is a modest Christian, she is wrong and should tolerate the boy in her bathroom stall.
Richard Levine is really a woman
Joe Biden [the Imposter] is a devout Roman Catholic
Seymour Hersh’s piece showing that the U.S. did the attack on Russia and Germany’s Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines cannot possibly be true. After all, Zelensky is always right, and Putin is always evil.
This last one is what prompted this piece. You see, two days ago, someone tried to challenge a New York Senator speaking publicly, asking him about what he can tell the people gathered about the American involvement in that attack, as discussed by Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst.
The Senator was well-prepared, and employed the steps of “cancellation” shown above, and the result was predictable: Angry, crazy sounding man. Sleepy, compliant crowd. Watch what happened.
This approach works.
But what happens if the sleepy, compliant crowd suddenly finds their homes destroyed by nuclear attack?
Seymour Hersh’s article on the Nord Stream attack is making waves, but oh, so slowly. The power of Cancel Culture is very, very strong. Here is the take-away, though:
The truth, the real truth, always wins out over time. If we look at the list of bull—- above, many of us, maybe even most of us ought to be able to note that out of the sixteen lines stated above, precisely fifteen of them are proved false. Number 16, Seymour Hersh’s piece is also true, and it is gaining traction.
This can be seen in far greater detail here:
The question is whether or not it will gain traction enough, quickly enough, to inspire the action that will prevent the regional war in Ukraine from escalating into World War Last. Nuclear annihilation seems closer and closer, what with rhetoric from the US and the West discussing a move to “wartime” footing for the economy, ostensibly to build weapons for Ukraine so it can accomplish the dual purpose of exterminating itself and its people through “suicide by Russian troops”, AND at the same time try to remove Vladimir Putin from office by fomenting internal dissent in Russia, and by destroying and balkanizing the Russian Federation itself.
None of this is going to work, by the way, except for maybe the part about Ukraine exterminating itself and the nuclear conflict.
The West simply will not look at the facts – Russia is getting more and more firmly determined that this war has no other option than a Russian victory, because defeat at the hands of Ukraine and NATO means that Russia will be absolutely assaulted by Western anti-Christian and anti-traditionalist values. Here in Russia, folks, people do not want a cross-dressing man as a top military officer. Russian soldiers may or may not like fighting this or any war, but they are sure not to want to be “smashing stereotypes” of sex by putting perverts in arms. The Russian Federation does not want to lose its people to narcotics and psychotropic, mind and soul-altering medications.
So, here we have an interesting situation. The Western cancel culture is true insanity. It works on its own people very well, or at least so far it has. But it isn’t working here in this video above, and it doesn’t work in Russia. From the point of view that seems very common here, we are watching the West tear itself to pieces. Russia doesn’t even have to do anything but exist in order to catalyze this process.
