Americans Are Rapidly Descending Into Madness

By Mike Krieger
August 17, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - I don’t live in an echo chamber, partly because there aren’t enough people out there who think like me, but also because I constantly and intentionally attempt to challenge my worldview by reading stuff from all over the political map. I ingest as much as I can from a wide variety of intelligent sources, picking and choosing what makes sense to me, and then synthesizing it the best I can.
Though I’m certainly grounded in certain key principles, my perspective on specific issues remains malleable as I take in additional information and perspectives. I try to accept and acknowledge my own ignorance and view life as a journey of constant mental, emotionally and spiritual growth. If I’m not growing my capacity in all of those realms until the day I die, I’m doing it wrong. Life should be seen as a battle against one’s own ignorance, as opposed to an obsession with the ignorance of others. You can’t legislate morality, nor can you legislate wisdom. The only way the world will improve on a long-term sustainable basis is if more of us get wise.That’s a personal journey and it’s our individual duty to accept it.
While I’m only in control of my own behavior, this doesn’t mean that the behavior of others is irrelevant to my life. Unfortunately, what I see happening to the population of America right now seems very troublesome and foreboding. What I’m witnessing across the board is hordes of people increasingly separating themselves into weird, unthinking cults. Something appears to have snapped in our collective consciousness, and many individuals I used to respect (on both sides of the political spectrum) are becoming disturbingly polarized and hysterical. People are rapidly morphing into radicalized mental patients.
What’s worse, this environment is providing a backdrop for the most destructive people of my lifetime – neoconservatives and neo liberals – to preen around on corporate media as “the voices of reason.” This is one of the most perverse and dangerous side-effects of the current political climate. As I noted earlier today on Twitter:

This is how humans who are dangerous failures stay in power. They claim they'll help handle a problem of their own doing.

If in your disgust with Trump, you’re willing to run into the cold embrace of these destroyers of the middle class and the Middle East, you’ll get what you deserve. In contrast, if we really want to deal with our very real and very systemic problems, the last thing we need is a population-level mental breakdown that leads to a longing for the criminally destructive political status quo, yet that’s exactly what seems to be happening.

Ok fine, so everything seems to be rapidly collapsing, but what are we supposed to do? First of all, don’t lose your minds.
As I suggested in February’s post, Why Increased Consciousness is the Only Path Forward:

Quote

As noted earlier, Wilber thinks 10% is a key tipping point. In other words, if we can get 10% of the population to center around a yellow second-tier level of thought, which consists of a momentous leap in consciousness, the entire world will change for the better. I agree. I’m not here trying to sell you a seminar on how to expand your consciousness; rather, I think these article can help spark some sort of revelation in the minds of many of you who are already at yellow, or at least at the cusp of such a transformation. Since consciousness can and does regress under conditions of stress and fear, it’s extremely important to be conscious of your consciousness so that you don’t fall back into lower states.
Unfortunately, I see many people regressing at the moment, and I see the media as an intentional force in trying to get people to lower their consciousness. A perfect way to tell if someone is operating at a low level of consciousness is if they’re constantly placing tens of millions of their fellow citizens into an outside group they subsequently demonize. It’s perfectly fine and healthy to harshly criticize the system itself and the many powerful individuals doing awful things within it, but once you start dehumanizing large swaths of the population as a matter of your worldview, you are most certainly on a very counterproductive path that will lead to merely a blackhole of nothingness for society.

counterproductive path that will lead to merely a blackhole of nothingness for society.
Beyond maintaining one’s sanity, it’s imperative that conscious humans create systems and communities that have as little connection as possible to the existing and rapidly disintegrating paradigm. This will create “anti-fragile” units of strength within the collapsing Potemkin village socio-economic structure that dominates our culture right now. Some of these projects need to be local, while others can be global. Community farming/food production is a great example of a local initiative, while Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general), represent global initiatives to replace the hopelessly corrupt and archaic entrenched financial system. While crazy, power-obsessed tribes focus on taking over the hopelessly corrupt centralized government in Washington D.C., we need to continue to build separate, decentralized paradigms — and there isn’t much time to waste.
Fortunately, there are plenty of very decent, very conscious people out there. I want this piece to provide encouragement to those of you already engaged in this invaluable work, as well as inspiration for those of you looking for an outlet for your creative and intellectual energies. It’s never been more important to keep our heads steady and not permit ourselves to be sucked into the mental sickness infecting so many of our fellow humans. It’s imperative that we vigilantly guard our wisdom and consciousness, because the best solutions will only come from a place of spiritual and mental health. If you descend into the gutter with everyone else, your output will also end up looking like trash. That’s the last thing we need.
Stay strong and stay conscious.

Throughout American history, since the time of the colonies, there has always been this situation. A Leftist oligarchical team feeds the angry mobs, utlizing the heckler's vote to undermine good and decent people on the Right.

The Right, being the rule-followers that they are, have an inadequate response every time, and they are undermined with "unfair" tactics. The Right is comprised of rule followers and believers of a traditional way of some sort. As such, they have invested their money, time, and families in the status quo, and they have too much to lose to commit to the fight against the Left in a full capacity.

The Left has utlized the anti-Logos spirit against the Right. This is what happened when Whig revolutionaries placed an oligarchy in power with America's First cινιℓ ωαr/The American Revolution. Tory loyalists mostly wanted to keep their heads down, keep to their work, not be bothered with radical movements, and stay out of the line of fire.

This same Leftist war against the Logos also occurred with the War of Northern Aggression/American cινιℓ ωαr. Radical agitators in the North were inciting mobs and violence, holding up abolitionism as its cause/pet project, and with the compliance of the oligarchy in power they were allowed to attack, demean, villainize, and destroy the dignity of Southerners who rightfully thought it their constitutional right to split from the Union of states--which was supposed to be a EU-style conglomeration of different countries. But thanks to Abraham Lincoln, his war morphed the nation into a horrific superstate.

Now, Leftist Zionism is our religion and national policy. If you are an annoying minority who is against this, then you are anathema, and open to attack.

We've reached the next iteration of the Left's perpetual war against the Right. The ever-present and never-ending war against the Logos. Against God. Against sensibility. The Right will lose, just as it lost during the cινιℓ ωαr and the American Revolution. We shall be run over, honestly. Objectively speaking, there's no other way to see it. There's simply not enough people who are inspired enough to step out of the comfort zones they've worked hard to build up and invest in.
