LEFT in the lurch, lurching WOKEISM and sponsored
lurking MEDIA MAFIA
Everyone can smell the toxicity of LEFT in
the lurch, lurching WOKEISM and sponsored lurking MEDIA MAFIA but
many prefer to suffer in silence thinking that it may not directly or personally
affect them.
The taphomorph (1) of
ideologies presumes the entire population as suffering from parosmia
unable to smell the different forms of rottenness between the LEFT in the lurch
and the lurching WOKEISM – the two pharmakons (2)
[of ideology] as Guy Du Plessis likes to call ideologies, in
general, as such. To quote him, “The
individual who is ideologically possessed is a “narcissist in wonderland” under
the influence of “intoxicating fantasies”.
LEFT to WOKEISM is just
putting lipstick on a pig (3).
I used resist as
much as possible, from talking or taking specific positions in political
ideologies (after all they are ideologies, and we can live without them) and
religious doctrines ( they are a huge pile of socio-moralistic ethical
preachings over centuries, some of which have certain values and ethics -which
one may choose to follow or not and many others have become contextually
irrelevant today).
However, in the
present day global geopolitical atmosphere being over manipulated [ not that it
was not there before] by the players of deep state and certain anti-development
and anti-human ideology driven MSM [Main Stream Media] narratives having a
damaging impact on Gen-Z, I could not afford the luxury of ignoring those
ideologies and be indifferent.
Hence, I felt that
beyond and besides The Republican and/or The Democratic loyalties [in the
context of USA], what is at stake is the safety and security of the American
people. Why any non-American must bother about America?
If America can be
treated as a lawless free for all country, then replicating such anarchy not
only becomes easier elsewhere, but the dent such anarchy makes in the biggest
economy in the world will have rippling effects all over the world.
These may lead to
global economic problems more than mere regional political workmanship or one
religious institution winning over another. The impact penetrates beyond
political ideologies, religious affinities, and regional imbalances, it is
going to affect everyone's life across the planet. World doesn’t
contain events in isolation.
So, unfortunately,
no one can afford to fully ignore or be indifferent to either Politics or
Religion , as they happen to be either nurtured as very important to guide
every aspect of one's life in the case of religious doctrines; in the case of
political ideologies- they act as rules enacting and legally empowered
governing institutions.
The media mafia- the
self-appointed high priests, the 19th hole (4) who are not
active part of the actual game, who preach and propagate, empowered with the
weapon of greater and easy access to anyone anywhere act as mass opinion
generating or mad narratives spinning machines. They fabricate alluring frisson
(5) to foment huge social impact, that leaves in the vast field of social
engineering farms the familiar fahrgasse (6) to influence the perspectives of children and
the adolescents i.e. people of impressionable age and gullible to fall a prey
to new nonsense or old stupidity [ the LEFT in the lurch , like the old wine
served in newfangled bottles the WOKEISM] which has spiced up its
original ideology [ as the ultra-LEFT in its original form has a track record
on being impractical and proved ineffective all over the world - a
petrified ideology with putrefying perceptions and puerile perspectives - something that deserves to be
kept in the attic of a museum of fossil genetic samples]. However, their
sensational appeals slowly but surely cloy, especially in their hyper
enthusiasm to emphasis certain selective things by trying to blur the past,
contexts, and the nuances, they end
up using ‘Contrastive focus reduplication’ (7) which brings to life the very
things they tried to blur or bury , namely the past, the contexts, and the
nuances.
WOKEISM is trying hard to
revive it through various obnoxious means and as usual has the company of
sponsored MSM [main stream media] and gullible academia to set the narratives
of a plethora of plain hoaxes without any real authentic probable or verifiable
data.
While talking
about macroeconomics they blissfully ignore the inevitable macro level implementation.
While talking
about social welfare they are clueless from where and how the revenue will be
generated.
While talking
about human rights they delve into selective amnesia and collective
indifference to acts of violence.
While talking
about environmental issues they ignore less polluting and cheaper energy
resources.
While talking
about equality, freedom, and liberty they engage in anarchy.
While talking
about global warming hoax they forget that the age of the planet earth is not
just from the day these Green Peace activists’ tomatoes, as Margret Thatcher
used to call them ( they start as 'GREEN' and end up as RED') started spewing
and spitting their ideological theories on everything from gender blunders to
global warming wonders.
While engaging in
victimhood peddling as a profession they don’t mind perpetuating poverty and
hunger to sustain their profession as paid ctivists.
It is so
unfortunate that they extrapolate their ideological fanaticism on to
everything starting from culture to food to traditions to attires to the way
language ought to be used and resort to interpret every possible piece of
literature or culture to fit into the cages of their ideologically designed
identity bias based templates [ the atavistic weakness to homogenize life ]
and weave nice narratives around them [ resorting to trite reductionism].
For example, when
studying global warming ( the planet is not a kettle on a stove) the yard stick
must be at least a few centuries or generations. They need to study at least
from 1800 A.D. Then, they will understand the climate cycles as well as nature's
self-correcting mechanisms better.
This triad of LEFT, WOKE
and MEDIA are never tired of talking about tolerance- Ankh-Morporks-(8) [ as per their version of it] forgetting that at the heart of
evolution is natural variables available for adopting or choosing by
anyone.
(1) The term taphomorph is
used to describe fossil structures that represent poorly preserved,
deteriorated remains of a mixture of taxonomic groups, rather than of a single
one.
(2) In ancient
Greek, the word pharmakon meant both "cure" and
"poison."
(3) That spin
does not work in an age of transparency, when everyone will find out the truth
anyway ("you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig" (
Wendy Greenberg in Newswwise Issue No. 200606, June 2006).

Golfers refer to the “19th hole” as the clubhouse bar or restaurant where they
go after finishing a round to enjoy a drink, socialize, and discuss their game.
It’s often said that the 19th hole is where the real competition takes place!
(5)
Frisson is a sudden strong feeling of excitement or fear; a thrill, promoted to
create sensationalism.
(6) Fahrgasse [German word] It describes the
tracks a tractor leaves on a farm field. Usually parallel and evenly
distributed, these tracks are used every time a farmer makes a pass over their
growing field.

(8) Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. The residents of
Ankh-Morpork are willing to welcome everyone. No matter what sex, what species,
and what race: men, dwarfs, trolls... all that they care about is how much
money they have and how they get it from them.
Since
WOKEISM is nothing but more rotten aspects added to the LEFT, often, one is
tempted term it as ‘Old wine in newfangled bottle [ this expression itself is
dubious]’. I too could not resist to revisit the book by Julian Huxley
and especially the fifth chapter of that book. Here are a few lines from that
chapter which make us wonder how predictable are the problems that certain
ideologies pose and how the solutions are also available, if only we bother to
notice and to implement them at individual as well as collective levels.
NEW BOTTLES FOR NEW WINE ESSAYS BY JULIAN HUXLEY
Chapter
5 New Bottles for New Wine: Ideology and Scientific Knowledge
Crude ideas on this subject can have most unfortunate
effects on integrative ideologies. If men neglect the basic fact of the evil in
human nature (including the intellectual evils of stupidity and error, and the
spiritual evil of self- righteousness) and then proceed to ascribe the obvious
evils of existence entirely to social conditions, the resultant ideology is
likely to be a Utopian millenarism, in which the present reality is sacrificed
to an imaginary future. This was true of Some versions of the Victorian belief
in progress and characterises communist and all revolutionary ideologies. Such
"pie-in-the-sky" ideologies bring us to the escape and compensatory
functions of belief-systems. To all people at some time, and to many people
much of the time, the world is an unpleasant or even horrible place, and
life a trial or even a misery. All normal people at some time are oppressed
by a sense of their own inferiority or, at least, inadequacy. Little wonder
that many ideologies, religious and otherwise, are concerned with providing
escapes from the unpleasant reality, compensations for the paralysing feeling
of insufficiency. The escape may be via an imaginary millennium, or may have a
more restricted goal (such as the last generation's idea of a War to end War),
or may be into a Promised Land, or into bliss in a Next World. Sometimes escape
is sought from the burden of self- its inadequacy and its limitations—whether
through the orgiastic rituals of some
ancient religions, through asceticism, through meditation, through a sense of
union with the divine, or through an agreeable sense of certitude in one's own
Tightness or salvation. When an ideology of escape becomes escapism, it is
clearly bad. It was this compensatory and escapist aspect of Christianity that
Marx had in mind when he made the unjustified generalization that religion is
the opium of the people. We must, however, note that escape is not
necessarily a wrong or cowardly aim. All existence is always to some degree in
some prison or other, and it is good and right to escape into greater freedom.
Self-transcendence, the desire for social progress, practical idealism, hope
itself, are all forms of escape, and can be good and right if they do not
escape from external reality altogether into celestial pies and wishful
imaginings, or from the internal reality of human imperfection
into self-righteousness (itself a grave form of sin) and impossible certitude
(itself a form of wishful thinking). Ideologies and belief-systems may
also have as one of their functions the preservation of the power and interests
of the ruling class or group. But to assert, as does dialectical materialism,
that this is the sole function of all belief-systems (or even the main function
of most, is itself a piece of ideological dogma, and demonstrably far from the
whole truth. Religions are, of course, among the most potent integrative
mechanising known—the very word signifies that they bind men in the bonds of
common purposes. To discuss their integrative functions would
take a book. Here I can only touch on a few relevant points. First, religions
can divide as well as unite, so that a study of what gives them divisive
properties is very important for learning what to avoid in building up an
ideology which could be integrative for humanity as a whole. One of the
most potent divisive factors is the claim to complete or absolute truth,
whether of revelation, dogma, righteousness, or anything else. Systems based on
any such absolute inevitably come up against new facts and new discoveries
which are in opposition to their pretensions. The only method then open
is to assert that the new ideas are also absolute, in the opposed sense of
being absolutely wrong; and this at once creates division and shuts the door on
synthesis and development. A claim to absolute truth may be dressed up
to appear as a claim to universality: but in point of fact, it is always
particular and not general, and can never become truly universal. Le mieux
c’est l’ennemi du bien) and a pretended absolute is the enemy of true
universality and of a 'real’ increase in truth. Religions can also be divisive
in denying the unity of human nature, and attempting to project evil and guilt
out of the individual and on to somebody or something else — usually a class or
a foreign nation. Instead of treating the conflict in the soul as a natural
phenomenon, which may be only transitory, since it is capable of being
reconciled in the integration of personal development, the conflict is
stabilized, made more permanent, and projected as an inter-group division into
the outer world, where it then is capable of hindering human integration. There
is still a more subtle way in which religions can be divisive. They can divide
reality itself. This they do whenever they insist on the existence of the
supernatural. In its earliest stages, when religion perhaps scarcely deserved
the name, since it consisted largely of magic, it was naturalistic, though its
naturalism was false or erroneous, for it was based on the belief that magic
was part of the nature of things. Sacredness, whether good or evil, Mana,
numinous qualities, magical potency, good and bad witchcraft—they were supposed
to inhere in natural objects or people or rituals or forms of words, and were
not regarded as emanating from another realm. Personification is probably
rather less primitive than magic; in any case, its share in determining the
character of human belief-systems seems to have increased during early
prehistory. Thus, religious and magic forces came increasingly to be personified
as spirits or gods, and this increasing tendency to personification was
accompanied by an increasingly sharp division of religion into two disparate
realms, of natural and supernatural. But the division was often far from
complete. The gods of classical Greece, however supernatural in some respects,
had partly material natures and lived largely in the natural world. Divinity
then was not, as so often now, regarded as an attribute only of supernatural
beings. It was quite natural to the ancient Romans to deify their emperors and
call them Divus, for their divinity merely meant that some of the sacredness
inherent in the natural order of things was, as it were, distilled and
concentrated in their persons, as holders of their sacred office. In this the Romans
were continuing the tradition of the priest-king, which culminated in the
Egyptian empire, and of which Shakespeare's "divinity that doth hedge a
king" is the latter-day dilution. The idea that divinity could accrue to a
man as son or descendant of a god was also current in the ancient world, as
witness all the legends of demi-gods……any modern ideology must concern
itself with the community of man in its entirety, the potential One World of
all the races, nations, classes, and individuals, past, present, and to come,
that go to make up the human species; and accordingly must think of the
narrower (if now better organized) community of the nation in relation to this
larger and more lasting whole. The idea of the community and its future thus
enters into our ideology to satisfy man's desire to work for something bigger
than himself and more enduring than his own group or community, and his need to
compensate for the imperfections and miseries of the present…….
In other words, any new ideology must not be dogmatic,
and must refrain from any claim to absoluteness or completeness; it must
utilize scientific method, so as to be expansive, flexible, and unitive instead
of rigid and eventually restrictive or divisive. Tolerance,
respect for cultural and individual variety, acceptance of difference—these are
some of the counterparts of the scientific method in other fields. However,
they themselves should not be employed rigidly or in any absolute sense, but in
the same sort of way that the principle of the working hypothesis is applied in
the natural sciences. The question of course remains, how such a mere
intellectual analysis can become a social force, how a set of ideas can develop
into an ideology, how the evolutionary concept of man's destiny can come to
affect that destiny.
