Crowd Control
When you touch a hot stove, your hand instantly recoils away from the stove, without a thought. The decision to pull the hand back is a response initiated by our nervous system, which is specifically designed to react quickly, without thinking. The nervous system is not the only part of us that prioritizes immediate action over rational thought. Buried deep in our psyches is what psychologists call the “Fight or Flight” instinct. It is a survival mechanism baked into our DNA, a product of evolution developed from centuries of living in a predatory world. Imagine hiking in the woods and turning a corner to find yourself face-to-face with a hungry bear. If you hope to survive, moments like this require action, and the only options, as bad as they may be, are fight or flight.
This instinct was an often-used and much-needed survival tool for our caveman ancestors. When encountering predators, those who were quickest to forego rational thought in favor of immediate action were the most likely to survive, and thus pass on their genes. We, in modern society, rarely have a need to access the instinct, although thanks to evolution, it is still present in all of us. Psychologists are quick to frame fight or flight as an either-or proposition, meaning those are the only choices available. If we are being truthful, there is a third option: Submission. It occurs in nature all the time. The rabbit who gets caught goes limp in the wolf’s jaws, submitting to its new identity, one where it is now food.
The fact the fight/flight instinct is triggered by predators may seem like a useful feature, but it is really more of a bug. A psychologically savvy predator can “hijack” control of the fight/flight switch in their target, effectively shutting down their rational thought and forcing them to react. By using an existing crisis or even manufacturing a new one, additional leverage can be applied by ramping up the emotional hysteria surrounding the crisis, which serves to further shut down rational thought. If they can also remove fight and flight as viable options for the target, the result would be a world where those with psychological know-how could systematically funnel vast groups of people into submission, thus controlling their beliefs, thoughts, and actions. Not only does this world exist, we are living in it. There is an amoral predatory class running this planet who have so mastered the art of controlling people's beliefs, thoughts, and actions, that most of us are not even aware it is happening. The technical term for this is “Mass Hysteria Psychosis”. In layman’s terms - it is known better as “brainwashing.”
On a surface level, brainwashing can be as simple as getting people to believe something that isn’t true. On a deeper level, it is really about stripping out the identity or beliefs of a target and replacing them with one chosen by the predator. Stockholm syndrome is a perfect example, where the identity of “victim” gradually gives way to the identity of “supporter.” When selecting a crisis to use, the probability of flipping the target’s fight/flight switch (and thus minimizing rational thought) increases significantly if the target is emotionally invested in the crisis. Climate change, peak energy, 9-11, and COVID are all perfect examples of brainwashing campaigns in action where nearly all of us are emotionally invested. Many of you reading this might think brainwashing could never happen to you or those close to you. But consider this fact: Almost the entire country supported the completely irrational idea of invading Iraq as payback for 9/11, even though Saddam and the Iraqis had nothing to do with it. That was textbook “Mass Hysteria Psychosis” at work.
Take a deep breath, and allow the following sentence to land:
With the right crisis and the emotional hysteria surrounding it maximized, the target can be presented with a completely irrational, often self-destructive, or even suicidal - escape from the psychological pain; and they will, without fail, internalize it and then rationalize it into existence, regardless of how illogical it may be. For example, the emotional pain surrounding COVID was so elevated, 80% of this country quickly rationalized injecting themselves with an untested vaccine, brought to market in only 3 months by two companies who had never manufactured any vaccine before, to combat a virus with a survival rate north of 99.6%. You can be sure the brainwashing is real, because most people who took the vaccine still won’t/can’t admit it was a mistake. Most of them opt to rationalize their behavior in hindsight, when instead, they should have used foresight and behaved rationally.
The well-trodden path of Crisis —> Emotional hysteria —> rationalization & submission, goes a long way toward explaining why the suicide rate in this country continues to climb. People are hit with a crisis, personal or otherwise, which triggers the fight or flight instinct. Rational thought is minimized. The negative emotions fomented by that crisis feed on themselves in a vicious amplification loop. Cortisol levels soar, further suppressing rational thought. Pretty soon, suicide starts to seem like a reasonable solution.
But wait, there’s more….
Historically, brainwashing has only been used by people adept at leveraging emotion, like cult leaders, con men, and the occasional demagogue. However, in 21st-century America, the ruling class has institutionalized brainwashing, bringing it to a whole new level. They have accomplished this by infiltrating our schools and targeting the most vulnerable among us: children. Schools are the perfect venue for brainwashing because both fight & flight are not options for a 10-year-old, leaving only submission. Conveniently, the profession of teacher is couched in nobility, as they are only there, ostensibly, to help the young find their way in the world. Of course, we know from Bag’s prior article (linked here) that the real purpose of our educational system is much darker - which explains why the curriculum in schools these days includes telling:
Males, their masculinity is toxic.
Whites, “white privilege” is to blame for the sorry state of humanity.
Minorities, the system is rigged against them.
It’s all brainwashing 101… Targeting the young, whose minds are still growing and maturing, and filling those minds with these absurd notions is remarkably effective at stripping away their still-forming identities and beliefs. The void left behind by the identity loss and the minimal experience children have in processing guilt, fear, and anger leaves them particularly prone to suggestion. As a consequence, they are often quick to submit to a new identity and a new belief structure, if for no other reason than to stop the flood of negative emotions they are struggling to process. With no FIGHT and no FLIGHT, there is only SUBMISSION, the path of least resistance. And so the younger generation willingly accepts as gospel a new reality where:
Men can’t be men anymore - they must identify with, and be in touch with, their feminine side…
Whites are guilty of being white, having to constantly apologize for our oppressive ancestors. (Where do we send those reparation checks again?) ….
Minorities must accept there is no reason to self-improve; better to just identify as a victim, and latch on to the government tit…
The schools are relentless with this nonsense. Bag has a friend with a nine-year-old daughter who recently came home from school traumatized by “fossil fuels.” She was convinced all the pretty flowers in the world might die - because she used a “plastic” straw to drink milk. Her teacher, who Bag would argue is guilty of child abuse, irrationally claims using a paper straw will help save the flowers. In the parlance of our time, WTF? The brainwashing blueprint is obvious; all the steps are there. Crisis (climate change) —> Emotional hysteria (Guilt about flowers dying) --> Submission (Oil companies who make plastic are destroying the planet, AND paper straws will save it).
Our youth is being systematically conditioned to believe these things because we allow it. We have given up control, and it is not likely to end anytime soon. Even with all the in-your-face evidence like Critical Race Theory, White privilege, Wokeism, and 9-year-old girls crying, we still refuse to acknowledge the ongoing brainwashing operation orchestrated by the ruling class. Since we can’t even admit that much, the possibility of addressing the real problem, namely our submission to their machinations, is just a pipe dream. The truth is, nobody wants to believe they are being controlled.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
So much of the crap going on out there is a stress test to see how us subjects will react. We are the experiment. Probably even those who think they’re outside of the experiment.
The Pledge of Allegiance is another great example of brainwashing carried out by public schools. All but 4 states require children to repeat it. Not adopted by CONgress until 1942, children are required to repeated pledge allegiance to a piece a cloth and a government, when in reality it is the government’s duty to be loyal to THE PEOPLE. They are supposed to be our servants, we pay them. What a scam, a long way from Jefferson’s “God forbid we go 20 years without a revolt.”
The same goes for tha US National Anthem, not approved by CONgress until 1931. Was everyone before that a reprobate for not endorsing an anthem? The origin of anthems is in religious music, but you better stand, in public, to show your loyalty. Once again, the government is supposed to be loyal to us. This is a basic cult tactic, not only must you be loyal but your loyalty must be demonstrated in public, exactly like a baptism, but you must do it repeatedly. Of course government schools are big on this. If you stand with pride during the national anthem or repeat the pledge, you’ve been brainwashed.
If this upsets anybody, you’ve been brainwashed. If you’d like to disagree with me, how many years did you live in a cult? I was born and raised in one and was a member for 40 years. Nor surprisingly, those 40 years mean nothing when I talk to believers.
