I an wondering who has the insight and discernment to read what is happening today . If you do, what have you seen as the evidence of transforming this nation to either a One World Government or a Communist Nation.

Those who read the book 1984 will have more discernment about what is taking place here today.

What is happening today has taken years of the "slow boil in a pot".

Years of changes to K-12 education churned out the adults you see today and what they believe.

What BS. You blame everything on schools but where are the parents. Don't they get involved with teaching their kids as well. Parents instill their values and their beliefs on their children. Or at least they should. So why blame schools. You're basically saying parents aren't doing their job

Surely, far right conservatives were asking the same thing years ago in 2009 as Obama was in the middle of his first year. I didn't see any evidence of that in 2009 and still don't in 2021. Communism has been dead since late 1991. People who insist, otherwise, surely take the radical rantings of Alex Jones seriously. He is a radical who in turn takes a handful of radicals seriously that few people do.

Where is the evidence of that? Instead, I see states banning the teaching of CRT.

Banning CRT is a good thing. But it is too little, too late. The gate was left open years ago and the horse is long gone.

As I’ve posted numerous times the Obama admin did not start purging dissidents out of the government until the 4/2011 DCL.

You can read here about how the feminist governors reinterpreted laws to move a heavy bias in favor of women over men in sexual assault. Campus Rape Culture is born merely by changing laws and creating fear and panic where none existed. This gave them the (self imposed) moral authority to tighten down even further. This was the birth of the cancel culture that created a tense environment. These policies were so effective they created more encompassing categories. DIE is created and consumes academia. Colleges turn into safe spaces of “diversity” for only like-minded people. This goes on for a few years “training” more and more students in Critical Social Justice. Then they graduate and start filling job positions in government, NGOs, academia, multinational corps.

https://harvardlawreview.org/wp-cont...MlRY3YhAGRqHGo

This is called in the CSJ world building up a counter hegemony in a “war of position.” The war of position is meant as a precursor to a “war of maneuver” (violent revolution). The idea is to weaken the cultural hegemony that acts as a defense against revolutions during economic turmoil. If the culture of revolution is not there then not even something like the Great Depression is enough to cause the revolution. This is a key aspect of the revolution, make people miserable enough to revolt.

You’re more than welcome to look up “war of position” and “maneuver” if you do not believe me. In this case the philosopher and radical behind those ideas are Antonio Gramsci. He’s mentioned in most literature that goes into the intellectual aspects of the “movement.”

The social sciences are done. They’re nothing but revolution manufacturing lines right now.

The good news is they were nowhere close to where they needed to be in their war of position before they were exposed. They didn’t build up enough counter hegemony to make the takeover easy. They still had at least a decade. But they do have about 10-15% in key positions in the system to make enough waves that they woke people up (snickers).

They’re not going to get their revolution. We will know just how radical they are as we approach the next election cycle. If they’re as radical as they seem, and I’ve had many reply to post comparing the Civil War and the American Revolution to their “movement,” specifically with regards to their abhorrence for incremental change and their rejection of the foundations of this country, then we will know what sort of shape we are in.

It should be noted that they never once brought these ideologies to the ballot box. They tried to implement them in secret and when you question them they have a slew of linguistic traps and “stories” along with fallacious arguments and lot’s of “wounds.”

Like I said...slow boil.

Slow, incremental changes over the course of a generation or two.

CRT though is drastic enough that people are finally paying attention.

CRT is a practice, not a course. Critical Theory was used to denazify Germany if that gives you any idea of what is taking place right now. That was done during FDR’s presidency and they were referred to as his “brains trust.” They were from the Frankfurt School and they worked directly with the OSS (forerunner to the CIA).

Quote:
These reports provide a fresh perspective on Hitler’s regime and the Second World War, and a fascinating window on Frankfurt School critical theory. They develop a detailed analysis of Nazism as a social and economic system and the role of anti-Semitism in Nazism, as well as a coherent plan for the reconstruction of postwar Germany as a democratic political system with a socialist economy. These reports played a significant role in the development of postwar Allied policy, including denazification and the preparation of the Nuremberg Trials. They also reveal how wartime intelligence analysis shaped the intellectual agendas of these three important German-Jewish scholars who fled Nazi persecution prior to the war.

So that should open up lots of other questions if one is being honest with themselves. Also, just because it was used to “denazify” does not mean that one could not also look at it to go in the other direction. That is, if one knows how Hitler came to power, especially considering he was elected and gained ultimate power politically, then one would know at least some playbook how to do it again. That might be something rather useful if you have all the same struggles (in your mind) that Hitler thought he had.
