A New Political Grammar - Hate

Remedial Politics

We hear a lot about hate in the media. Hate, it seems, is everywhere, and it is responsible for everything that has gone wrong and that will go wrong in our headlong march to build the new world order that the overlords have envisioned for us. Doctors, priests, Liberals and the oligarchs - all the representatives of our Human Rights Democracy agree that Hate is the greatest enemy that humanity faces. As a result, great efforts are put into combating Hate.

The secret police is always on the prowl for Hate.

Schools spend more time beating Hate out of their students’ heads than teaching them math.

Politicians and journalists opine about Hate and propose policies that will eradicate it such as mixed-race marriages, open borders, gun control, banning meat, forced vaccinations and the arrest of Hateful dissidents.

Hate, of course, will never go away because it is a part of the natural order. It is, on its most basic level, a biochemical reaction. When faced with a stressor, we start cycling through various biochemical states to deal with a threat. First up, we have the Fright state, followed by the Flight state, usually and, of course, the Fight state. All of these states are created by chemicals, hormones and neuron activity in the body. To be able to Fight, you have to feel a strong, empowering rage that you can use to beat down and destroy your enemy. Frankly, the greatest martial art that anyone could ever learn is the mastery of these biochemical states. Techniques and physical conditioning are periphery to the ability to consciously move past Fright, avoid slipping into Flight and to ground oneself quickly in the Fight mode. Most people are unable to stand up for themselves to bullies because they are unable to control their inner states. The bully or the gang or the abusive spouse triggers them into entering Fright mode, a natural state that is used by all mammals to assess a threat situation and prepare the next move, but a state that becomes crippling if not cycled through and used to enter the Fight state eventually.

And when our overlords talk about combatting Hate through the use of Pavlovian condition in the school system, the media and the use of sedative drugs, they’re really talking about measures to turn Hate inwards. To make people Hate themselves. To keep people away from Fight and to keep them in Fright, Flight and Depression.

Many people have heard the saying that Depression is just anger turned inwards and you often hear this pearl of wisdom repeated by the most banal sorts of people who don’t realize that they’ve cheapened a powerful truth by turning it into a cliche. The final stage in the reaction cycle we began exploring above is Depression, which is just the body shutting down biochemically in preparation for death. Animals who have exhausted their Flight and Fight options eventually shut down, go limp and surrender to their fates. This last-ditch measure often ends up, paradoxically, sparing their lives as their predator relaxes or loses focus for a brief moment, giving the prey a last chance to either escape or strike a surprise blow. In that sense, Depression serves two necessary biological functions - preparing us for death or shutting us down long enough for us to escape a life-threatening situation.

But why bother explaining all of this? This is, after all, a blog that deals with politics and culture, mostly, and my day job has nothing to do with prescribing speed and sedatives to teens with parents too poor to afford sending them to private school.

Well, with the coming of Freud, political ideas began to be analyzed through the prism of psychology. We were told that there was such a thing as an “Authoritarian Personality” and that it was a hateful and repressed emotional and psychological state of being that had to be smashed if society were to progress into some sort of hippy utopia. Hate was equated with nationalism and categorized an unnatural feeling that could be defeated through political reforms and social conditioning. Certain political attitudes and positions were psychoanalyzed and re-labelled as clinical conditions. This happened to a much more extreme degree in the Soviet Union, where political dissidents were routinely declared insane by medical professionals and sent to get experimented on in ghoulish party-run asylums. There is a healthy distrust of shrinks among the older generation in the Slavlands to this day because of this. In contrast, the youth are practically flocking to shrinks to be diagnosed with all the fashionable mental ailments of the day.

Point being: feeling anger towards someone or some group has been politicized and pathologized. As a result, many of our people find themselves in the Depression state now and don’t understand what it is or how they got there. They know that they have been told that Hate is bad all their lives and they afraid of feeling it. They also know that they feel agitated and depressed all of the time.

Sadly, they haven’t yet put two and two together.

Let me explain what occurred to us psycho-politically and see if I can’t shed some light on where we’re at now.

First, we were put under extreme stress - a kind of stress that is never eased up on. You’ve heard this before, no doubt, but let me add that this is how Terror as a political strategy works. Terror has been systematically employed against us because people who are in Fright are paralyzed and panicked, unable to think and only able to react quickly to certain stimuli. We saw this on full display with the Corona terror hoax. But, instead of allowing the peasants to cycle next into a state of righteous, furious anger, we were forcibly cycled into Depression instead. Nowadays, the peasants fear the Hate state and run away from anything and anyone that the media and the experts label as hateful. We have been taught to fear Hate. The energy rises up within us, and then, feeling helpless about how to use it, we turn it inwards into ourselves. Luckily, the state is willing to step in and subsidize our chemical lobotomization should we start feeling emotionally out of whack. We will soon have more people on happy pills and tranquilizers than people who are not at the pace that we are going.

Society would rather we be in Fright, Flight and Depression because these states can be manipulated and used to their advantage easier. Fight is to be avoided. Fight is to be pathologized. The only acceptable politics are the politics of Fright, Flight and giving up. Hate, we are told, destroys us from the inside - and that is certainly true, but only when one find that they can’t let the Hate out. Hate, when triggered ought to be unleashed and used to destroy the enemy that has our backs pressed to the wall. That is what Hate is for - it is a natural defense mechanism. One that we no longer have recourse to.

There’s a Russian song that has a line, “yarost blagorodnaya” which translates to righteous or holy anger. Here:

Anger can be a powerful and ennobling emotion. If harnessed correctly, that is.

We, as a people, feel like we’ve lost the Fight, that the odds are unbeatable and so the body of the people cycles into Depression to prepare for death. It is as if we have lost a great war or something of that nature. Countries like Germany have, indeed, lost several wars and the German people have taken a blow to the psyche, but then how do we explain the self-abnegating tendency in the victor nations? The cause has to be psychological conditioning. No other explanation is possible. We’ve all been forced into Depression regardless of whether we won or lost in the European civil wars of the last century.

In therapy, especially the trauma release kind that is used to deal with shell-shocked vets, the patient is guided out of their depression and anger and fright through physical and mental exercises. They learn to cycle out of these state of stress and return to a state of calm and normalcy. Our society desperately needs a similar kind of therapy, but, of course, this is simply impossible because the powers that be want us to be depressed and self-destructive. Our music is mopey, our humor is self-degrading and our art is demoralizing.

This is all by design - there is a psychological war being waged on our minds and our emotional states with the intent of wiping us out softly and gently. And most dissidents have figured this much out already.

They, however, put the cart before the horse when it comes to figuring out what to do next. Only when society has been purged and new buildings, new art and new cultural messaging is being created will people begin to feel better. But that is exactly backwards. People need to snap out of their conditioning for us to get us moving in that direction in the first place.

Collective therapy, folks - we need it. We need to get reacquainted with the natural cycle of our emotional states and master them, despite the odds against us. Only then will we be able to strive towards building a healthy, life-affirming society again.
