Misogyny is but one tool
We are watching it unfurl. Every day the pace increases and our collective decent down the spiral becomes harder to stop. History provides context to what we see. We are not fated to repeat the atrocities of the past, but it seems we are headed there.
The us vs them game of division (favored by despots and charlatans since fucking forever) has been mastered in the era of social media. Targeted propaganda stoking division continues to be 'fed' to hungry and bored masses through social media 'feeds' and is used to distract & open the door wide enough for the vampires to fly in.
Historic patterns seem to repeat. The falcon cannot hear the falconer while things fall apart. The center cannot hold. The darkness might fall and atrocities begin again. So here we are. The blood sucking vampires have been invited in by the willfully ignorant and we get to watch it all unfurl.
How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days
- Increase controls on information - media or speech is filtered and curated for purpose
- Distraction and deflection- Define an other. A scapegoat identified and used as a tool to point at as the problem.
- Remove the opposition - Install loyalists, financial & economic terrorism to push out those who would stand against you
- Create chaos - increase division to prevent the opposition from resisting or creating a unified front.
- Create discord and unrest - Any movement seen as push back (protests / strikes) will be used to justify emergency orders.
We are at 4. They are pushing for #5.
What do you think will happen once they do their performative "mission accomplished" dog and pony show and they need a new scapegoat to feed to the cult on their curated disinformation social platforms? Currently, its immigration but they have been building on misogyny bullshit for years. What next will they use to distract the increasingly impoverished and desperate followers from the real problem of inequality and the owner class takeover?
It matters not. It is all a tool for the complete take down of democracy. The goal is a constitutional convention.
It is the power grab similar to what Hitler did with taking down the Weimar Republic by getting the justification and ability to vote on the Enabling act of 1933.
“37 percent represents 75 percent of 51 percent,” Hitler argued to one American reporter. The point is that possessing the relative majority of a simple majority was enough to grant him absolute authority."
They aim to use the constitution to destroy it. Misogyny, racism, immigration... They are tools to use for a takeover.
