Thanks for another great read Lily. You help me maintain my optimism that, If we can wake up enough of the population at large, in this war where the Globaleftist authoritarians roll out hubris, hate and humbug we Lilybitian libertarians can call on humility, humanity and humour to blow them to smithereens.
That could be said about many totalitarian regimes, why focus on the Hermit Kingdom? The issue is why do the mentally ill among us have such a need to hide their bigotry and hatred under fashionable wording.
I’m disappointed that you didn’t publish my previous comment that contained some pushback and a critique of your analysis in this article. It must have struck a chord. Apparently, praise is all you want your readers to see. This is an unfortunate reflection of the people and topics that you write about.
I suggest that the original motivation that sparked the "progressive" movement was the legitimate outrage that followed the bank bailouts after clear and pervasive bank fraud that was intentional harm for guaranteed record profits (sound familiar), that enabled banks to steal homes and life savings from millions of families, and that was perpetrated by the same billionaire globalists we've watched pull off all the wars / scams / guaranteed record profits / cullings we've seen since. It was anticapitalist because banks are / present themselves as, well, the ultimate capitalists. The movement, surging with success against these banksters, was, per the cabal's mo, coopted, turned, and used by the globalists to their own purposes and morphed into woke culture crazies.
This happens with every legitimate grassroots movement. The cabal are masters at it.
I do believe, though, the globalists' system is a house of cards. The more we can see their tricks -- including turning legitimate movements into puppet fronts -- the better we can stop being fooled, pull our energy out of the tricks, and turn our energies to building the systems we do need.
The right/left vision is sometimes different on the political spectrum, and presented as here, I have the impression that if the problem is the globalized left (globalist therefore), then the solution is the localized right (and therefore anti-globalist)?
In short, if I fundamentally understand what you are saying, I am afraid that the dualist principle imposed by the system is precisely what it expects.
How to manipulate the people? First crystallize opinions, create clans: propaganda and anti-propaganda being mutually controlled and neutralized, conveying the only semantic truth on one side, the only reality on the other, and therefore the only possible option.
The system creates the thesis, the antithesis, and inevitably results in the only synthesis that this will produce. You follow me ?
It is still a form of “social Darwinism” where the strongest is always the best, to summarize roughly. But it is a false vision (or rather an incomplete or unfinished vision) of nature, transposed into socio-political terms and systems and justifying the domination of these same systems.
I recently saw "Civil War", and if it wasn't just a "movie", if it was what the system would like to go towards? It has already started many wars, including 2 world wars, and almost as easily as lighting a barbecue ^^
This is a great description of what needs to be done. The question is how to do it. I've published the blueprint of a solution, but while the globalist are just another generation of the ultra wealthy elite who feel entitled to rule the world, we individualists separately go in every direction possible eliminating any collective power that we have. It seems that an individual can play on people's emotions to unite them, but a collective effort does not. I thought developing a realistic solution and a plan to implement it would be enough. But it isn't.
Great post Lily and spot on! Intersectionality is just a contrived word to disguise the bigotry and hate of those psychotic and deranged people who need to feel better about themselves.
Great read. It’s all gone too far from both sides. Dogs are getting wagged. Too far left or right leads to authoritarianism like a ring buffer.
Many feminists also believe women started that movement. Or love languages weren’t invented by a manipulative partner.
Men benefited just fine from “sexual liberation” and found acting like sensitive ponytail men got them laid in college.
Not that men cannot be supportive allies or whatever. That doesn’t need a title or mean everyone acting that way is sincere. If they are railing on about it more than women, it is surely an act.
People are always nicer to those giving them what they want.
As a recovering libtard, straight-A student, the whole shebang, I would submit that those many millions have no idea of what/whom they've aligned with. Actually it's the same with many conservatives, and I'm not talking only Rinos. But the point is, that's how the propagandists roll. They tell each side some truths that, were they not politicized, probably most good people would agree with. Then they also tell each side some lies. Then they lie to the OPPOSITE side about what 'those others' believe. And spoonfeed those lies to the opinion-influencers, who whip the normal people who are on their side up into a frenzy.
Meanwhile, the liberals are very concerned about whether to call their toddler son "he," or "they;" while the cannon-fodder, I mean heroes, are celebrating memorial day.
Powerful & informative - thank you much. Our Creator lives in the TRUTH - I will never stop speaking Truth to tyranny. I will live FREE or die with honor ...
It looks like we are returning to commonsense. Wokeness has gone to extreme in the childhood gender identity issue and rush to administer blocking hormones to dire consequences later. It appears some are finally calling for nature to take its course before a rush to judgement forces biological changes that are not in a child's best interests.

In one egregious incident, Helmuth compared concerns with placing children on puberty blockers to unfounded fears over comic books and rap music.
Brilliant. Perfect framing of the issue in front of us.

You know the country which has done the most to resist wokeness and globalism?
North Korea

Loved this. The eternal individual is collective. I'm for the individual every time
Excellent essay! You are correct. The current ideological struggle isn't left v. right, but authoritarianism vs. individual liberty.
I am an revolutionary, anti-authoritarian Marxist who actually understands Marx, and I wholeheartedly approve of this message.
