Christopher Media

Todd, Chris and Rich discuss the Dayton shooter’s leftist leanings being swept aside, poking the Crackerbear and how a real conflict between Woke Island and Trumptown might resemble an episode of “Lambs to the Wolves”, Los Tíos Tom Blancos and their own dignity, informational chum agitating swarming ideological sharks, how suppressing a defeated ideological Holy War enemy might look in the 21st century, and we revisit “reparations” just to, you know, lighten things up. (Send the bill to Boris!) The Propaganda opus continues next time.

After more shooting’s, Chris & Rich rejoin the show to discuss our “news” (propaganda) consumption, and the predictably tribal response. We’re malleable psychological adolescents and clearly unprepared for this informational responsibility. Also, the same recycled arguments with a few new propaganda twists, did you know the Dayton killer was a self-proclaimed Leftist? Is it coincidence that most “news” coverage is in El Paso? Remote rhetorical assaults and the historical usefulness of “physical accountability”: smacking bullies in the snout.

How propaganda acts as an informational virus to destroy critical thought and alienate the person from himself. More on data overload, the uninformed Current Events Man knowing a little about everything and a lot about nothing, mistaking feelings for thought, having to accept or reject an entire doctrine in total, losing intellectual autonomy, and how artificial tensions are often accompanied by dubious solutions.

The conclusion of Ellul’s “Psychological Crystallization” featuring the makeup of its slogans & how they’re used to replace thought. Also, collective belief and obsessions, self-justification/rationalizations and how they spawn the self-righteous Puritan, the closing of the crystallized mind, propaganda’s religious personality, and the bizarre media phenomenon: monetizing your mind rape.

Begins with a takedown of “white privilege”, self-flagellation vs. self-interest, and the asinine/futile demands of our Social Vengeance Warriors; beware the boomerang, Moonbeam. From there, I move on to Ellul’s dissection of how propaganda hijacks the political cultist’s mind. The first of two parts, this episode focusses on the distinction between doctrine and critical thought, unnaturally homogenous thought, codifying social, political, and moral standards, exploiting latent pre-existing prejudices, and the power of implanted stereotypes & symbols used as triggering mechanisms. The elephant is strong in this one!

Propaganda isn’t what you may think. Ellul’s ideas on pre-propaganda, propaganda’s conditioned reflexes, myths, and “orthopraxy”. Including the triggering of active and passive action (activists, influencers, collaborators), widespread participation by “committed” zealots, the separation between thought and action, exploiting the abyss between what we say and what we do, mobilizing men for action counter to their own values, and being unable to reverse ourselves once “action” has begun.

More on agitation propaganda and the psychological effects of propaganda including: loss of individuality, the suppression of critical thought, creation of the mob and how critical thought is literally impossible as part of a group, the creation of a fanatically self-righteous social conscious leading to the demonization of the out-group, and more on the sphere of the sacred. Then, how propaganda partitions society (identity politics) via verbal fiction creating sects of victims who only speak “to themselves.”

Congressional grandstanding for the cameras, Mueller’s testimony: viewed and spun in parallel universes, deciding whether to read the report, voting your own self-interest (Yes!

The extreme left’s totalitarian purity test and its search for Utopia’s messiah; self-righteous moral certainty and the narcissistic narratives of the secular humanist religion. Then, agitation propaganda creates armies of proselytes and militants while unleashing an uncontrollable and destabilizing primal hatred for “the evil other.” No one’s immune; would you even know if you’re devouring propaganda?

Todd, Chris, and Rich discuss how the left always inadvertently triggers heated nationalism with its self-defeating renouncement of patriotism and Zinnification: exploiting idealistic naiveté; how Zinnified agitation propaganda attacks national unity by destroying symbols and cohesively fictitious myths.
