This talk I have been sharing with shrew friends and am building up the courage to send to non-shrew friends. Lindsay emphasizes voicing the Truth of what is happening …with love. I have to be braver and keep trying to express what I know is happening. With love.
Great article, Todd! I really feel this is about "divide TO conquer". It is to seed hatred and animosity so that we take sides rather than trying to understand or accept another person's position or choice. It is really being ramped up these days.
I shudder at the thought of "global unity", which smacks of a world populated by transhumans/robots... I love James Lindsay who, according to Wikipedia, promotes "right-wing conspiracy theories"!!!
Another interesting 14 min video: https://youtu.be/HMguSl8PHS4?feature=shared referencing Aristotle's book "Politics" and his different types of government, so relevant to today.
Thanks for this link...everyone should watch this. Once again, more and more clarity.
And yes, "global unity" or "global collectivism" is the goal, and part of the agenda is to reach transhuman/robot "rule"...read C.S. Lewis' "That Hideous Strength" and some upcoming articles...
Here is the Lewis article I wrote about his book...
I know you are a fan of Lewis, but he just does not speak to me - maybe because I am neither a fan of science fiction nor fairy tales (I was never read to as a child, though I subsequently became an avid reader via my grandfather's vast library). That said, I enjoyed your article and I might give Lewis a try - when/if I don't have anything else lined up!!!
Perhaps because we (Irish) were colonised, I have always been aware of the "divide and rule" strategy. In fact, it is one of my guiding principles, e,g., whenever an ideology, organisation, religion etc., either explicitly or implicitly ferments division, I reject it... and as for the Left-Right divide, I am with Keith McHenry of Food not Bombs: "I am done with the left-right divide. It's now the humans versus the deadly robotic corporate state."
That was a great video describing exactly what is going on today and the past 5 + years. Thanks for posting that. I have shared it with everyone I could. I hope it has as much of an effect on non shrews as it had on me (a total shrew). Once again Todd you have completely justified my paid subscription to your Substack and my continued support.
Call it truth, or reality, or knowledge, or wisdom, or a vaccine of understanding against what the globalist are doing to the world.
You are so so so kind...and believe me, comments like yours are the thing that keeps me writing. Thank you again...
Yes, I love this video. I am currently reading a book on China's Cultural Revolution...mind altering. And half way through "America on the Brink"...by David Griffin...a wonderful explanation why there is a war going on in Europe...
Thanks for posting James Lindsay’s talk on The Politics of Compliance, Todd. I had listened to it several days ago and sent it out to our freedom group here. It illuminates their playbook and is the most cogent thing I have encountered recently: the dynamics being used since I read Matthias Desmet’s “The Psychoigy of Totalitarianism “ in 2021. How do we counter hate craft? With love?
Yes, truth can be subjective, but perhaps Desmet's idea of "sincere speech", truth spoken from the heart is a good place to start... I think words spoken from the heart (not parroting government propaganda) resonate with people
I believe there are two "truths"...relative truth, and absolute Truth, with a capital "T"...yes, the relative truth can be subjective, and is always subject to detail resolution...absolute Truth is God, and the divine tenets, and some aspects of mathematics (but nothing in the material world, which is always in flux)
No, I don't think so. Absolute Truth could be defined as anything we "know"—such as the love for one's child, or just love itself.
This idea can be argued as well as any can...Nietzsche would probably say that absolute Truth could not exist without a belief in God. When he said that God is dead, he meant morality was dead as well.
... in fact, having thought some more, I consulted my two go-to people, i.e., Jung and Nietzche, to remind me what they had to say about truth. What I gleaned is that while Nietzche is more vocal about rejecting absolute truth, Jung identifies many truths (both with a small "t"). Re Nietzche, I find the greatest attributes of his "overman" to be both inspiring and excellent guidelines similar to the Ten Commandments.
Thank you for keeping me mentally challenged with your writings.
Thank you for this. As I said, this "absolute Truth" idea is not mine alone. It comes more from the "New Thought" philosophy.
I am ashamed to admit I do not know as much about Nietzsche's work as I should...only a bit of reading here and there and of course what we glean from each other. Jung I know fairly well having read most of his work.

It is a brilliant video, and SO true!!
The use of the word truth is contentious - it is more about one’s freedom to choose - free from coercion and fear - what one’s own truth is

... so is absolute Truth dependent on believing in God?
No, I don't think so. Absolute Truth could be defined as anything we "know"—such as the love for one's child, or just love itself.
This idea can be argued as well as any can...Nietzsche would probably say that absolute Truth could not exist without a belief in God. When he said that God is dead, he meant morality was dead as well.
