Is someone pulling all our strings?

It seems like there’s battles raging all over the place:
Attacks of free speech, no platforming, Twitter bans, Amazon refusing to sell books on body dysmorphia, attacks on democracy, Brexit, Scexit, denial of sex, butchering children, men believing they are woman, young girls believing they are boys, trans women are woman, COVID, misinformation, dwindling independent news outlets. rise in porn culture and I’m sure the list goes on.

The only sad constants are continued male dominance over woman, racism and religious conflicts.

It feels like we’re part of a war but we’re all so focused on the battle, we dont know who the real enemy is.

As Sun Tzu said over 2000 years ago ‘all warfare is based on deception’ (paraphrased) and he should know, he wrote the book on it.

I keep waiting for my cheque from these shadowy US groups but I haven't received one.

If you get yours, could you PM me? There must be a hold up with the transatlantic mail.

Yes, we are all complicit in this war, a failing due to our nature no doubt. With regards listening to the voices on the other side, agree, but then it’s hard to hear the cries of a drowning man when you too feel you’re drowning beside them

I worry there are so many loud trans activist voices that are not speaking for the majority, that the real issues for them are lost and those loud voices stir up hatred and misrepresent. But where are the other voices? Are they silenced too? Really, we should be an ally that can offer the most help as we know what it is like to be on the receiving end of hatred.

The enemy, however, is the human race and the society that had been created. This is more than female issues, I think somewhere, we took the wrong turn. The battle for sex is just a battle in a war, against something larger.

Men will never hear the enemy approaching. Their ‘child’ is built in their image and the balance of power is stacked in their favour. Women rarely fight for power. They fight for survival, to protect their children and other women from tyranny. Perhaps the Trojan horse is already amongst us and maybe it’s time to raise the alarm to those ‘men’ who are slapping hemselves on the back admiring the horse.

That’s the problem- trans people believe we are enemy and they are so consumed In this belief that they can’t hear the message being spoken by those offering the olive branch.
Knowing who the real enemy is a good place to start. IT certainly seems to know much about us, perhaps IT too has read Sun Tzu.

‘Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy, but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril’

Women's rights aren't anti trans.

Thanks Any. I think counterfire have deleted the tweet?

Boudicca is often portrayed as the champion of women’s rights across the ages - yes she ultimately failed, but I’m sure we can learn much from history to ensure that when we lead the next charge the outcome will go in our favour.

American far-right christian groups funding some anti-trans people with hope of driving a wedge between or otherwise destabilizing both the LGBT community and feminist groups

Why would women need strange religious backers to make us defend single-sex spaces and oppose medical experimentation on children? Why do you consider supporting women’s and children’s rights is ‘anti-trans’? I would defend these rights against whoever was undermining them.

Propaganda is nothing new, it’s the speed it now spreads that is difficult to comprehend and we haven’t evolved to able to deal with it.

The parents of the ‘Intelligence’ that sends the message probably have little or no control over it now.

@WarriorN

It definitely happens at a lower level. I've been wondering if this week / Last night for Sarah has been stoked by anti police and anti lockdown sentiment.

Although I've remembered her and went for a walk and watched footage I found it striking that this much feeling has been unleashed when so many women get murdered each year, also walking home.

Lockdown, IWD and a police man may have been the trigger; at the same time this is unusual.

And now it seems the woman arrested was an actor, who during her “interview” made a statement that asserted a man was guilty of murder pre-trial. Presumably this might prejudice the case. In addition she made it overly clear she was protesting and not attending a vigil.

This whole thing stinks.

It's the new propaganda. Make everyone question their most fundamental assumptions about the world, and there's no way of knowing what's true or false, right or wrong, up or down anymore. This ensures we have no agency and remain passive.

For those who are parents, we’ve also seen how sometimes other some kids get emboldened by the actions of the playground bully and join in. Rather like those key board warriors, whose interaction is with a digital accomplice, with content that is determine by algorithm, which in turn justifies their own biases and gives them ‘strength’ to move from online to offline.

Getting tax breaks out of for the past few years probably helped them turn a blind eye.

I think the likes of Zuckerberg and others are acting more like those complacent parents, who allow their kids to run riot and ruin it for everyone else. They’re happy as they’re doing quite nicely from the shit show, so why bother reprimanding their kids!

OP posts:
Hibari · 14/03/2021 06:22

...and going back to the mention of Zuckerberg. It's no secret that he had a bunch of meetings with Conservative politicians in America during Trump's time in power.

Hibari · 14/03/2021 06:19

Probably. There's definitely an element on this site that make me think you've been infiltrated. I say this having seen several people defending everything from COVID denial to far right pundits to the Heritage Foundation in my brief time here.

...and seeing that, I can't help but think back to the stuff from a while back about American far-right christian groups funding some anti-trans people with hope of driving a wedge between or otherwise destabilizing both the LGBT community and feminist groups...so it wouldn't shock me if they've continued with that and expanded upon it.

Actually i think that it’s more sinister., we live is a digital world with either every click, like, tweet, search, , purchase, piece of data stored in vast underground data centres - people like the Israel historian Yuvall Noah Harari warn about the danger we will face due to tech. Whilst I don’t think there’s there a bunch of people with a secret agreement to carve out power, I’m not too sure if those same people, who own all that data and have built programme so it learns , have built into the machine their own biases. Theres too much data for any human brain to process, they’re most likely not even pushing the buttons merely analysing and interpreting the data. Given how it often comes as a shock to our politicians what the actual feelings of their electorate when they meet them in the real world, it begs the question ‘Are we already being controlled by computer’?

It would be comforting to think that a handful of villains are causing this.

I believe the reality is many millions of people are being sexist because that's their normal. Patriarchy runs deep.

Funnily enough was watching an interview yesterday with one of his students Dennis Prager who has been sounding the alarm about the infiltration of schools for 20 years plus. Link: rumble.com/vel93v-prager-bolsheviks-took-over-our-universities-when-they-took-out-god.html

*recognition surgically

GeidiPrimes · 14/03/2021 00:13

I wonder the same - sometimes it all seems like a big pantomime or bad reality TV. Particular bugbear atm is for this expectation for women mutilate their faces beyond recognition surgical. It seems to have tipped past the point of it enhancing features into reducing women into a draggy caricature. Identikit pumped top lips and cheek implants. There must be some dysmorphia at play.

Has anyone seen Hypernormalisation, a doc by Adam Curtis? It shows how much we're manipulated by governments and media - we're fed a narrative of their choosing. Made a few years ago, but all ties in with what's happening now. It really blew my mind!
