First a little background video:
Here are the four stages:
1. Demoralization: Destroy religion; encourage decadence and consumerism; remove responsibility from the community and give it to bureaucrats; give undue power to unelected individuals (journalists, media figures, etc.); demonize law enforcement, praise criminals; exploit trade unions to promote ideology of "equality" that can never be achieved.
2. Destabilization: Increased radicalization; unable to compromise on anything and society becomes more antagonistic; leaders of minority groups (LGBT, Blacks, etc.) become more radical and more violent while simultaneously gathering more sympathy/support from society; Elected official groups collapse and unelected revolutionary committees rise to power with "big ideas" on moving forward.
3. Crisis: Society can no longer function and collapses. A strong man, a group of enlightened intellectuals, or a "messiah" steps in to lead by force, either ends in civil war or invasion.
4. Normalization: Reverse of destabilization - stabilizing by force. Unelected leaders no longer need radicals or revolutionaries. They are eliminated. From then on no more strikes, no more LGBT, women's lib, no liberty PERIOD!
IMO we are currently between the end of Stage 1 and the middle of Stage 2. For example, unelected owners/members of the MSM have too much power using all means of communication to affect political thought Leftward. Meanwhile we have constant efforts to "destabilize" via riots, attacks on out institutions and mores by both "trusted" organizations like the new ACLU and the old SPLC, plus examples like CHAZ in Seattle, and other locales to seized control of "autonomous zones" with no response from elected officials.
Now this was allegedly started by the Soviet Union back in the 1950's, and their efforts would have stopped when the USSR fell. But IMO the leftover's under Putin have been doing it since he took power. I also think that Communist China might have a stake in this kind of effort. There is entirely too much money backing BLM, and the "Idea" of ANTIFAS seems to be pretty active these days.
I am seeing how our institutions, ideals, history are being attacked and undermined by Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, Grievance Politics, rioting, assaults on monuments of Lincoln, Jefferson, even Frederick Douglas.
This must be addressed. IMO Trump is NOT the problem, he is simply a reaction to the symptoms and we are at the cusp of Stage 3 whether he be elected or defeated.
Thoughts?
