United Kingdom To Swap Out Top Sociopath For A Different Sociopath: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

Boris Johnson resigning would only be interesting in an alternate universe where there was some remote chance that he will not be replaced by another depraved sociopath.

Remember when rich people were so worried about Jeremy Corbyn raising their taxes that they spent months pretending to believe he was a closet Nazi? They really committed to the bit, too. You were not even allowed to call it a bit because they would start saying you are a Nazi for defending a Nazi. It was wild.

1. Use narrative manipulation to divide the population into a roughly 50-50 ideological split.

2. Ensure you control both of those factions.

3. Convince everyone that the only reason nothing changes is because their half of the population does not win enough elections.

Everyone is pulling on a rope that does not lead anywhere and does not do anything, convinced by powerful manipulators that they are engaged in a life-or-death tug of war match of existential importance. Meanwhile the powerful just do as they like, completely indifferent to that spectacle and its back-and-forth exchanges.

A group is artificially split into two sides and told to pull a rope in opposite directions while someone else stands back and shoots them all with a BB gun. When they complain about the welts, they are told it is happening because their side is not pulling hard enough. But really they would be getting shot no matter what they did.

This does not mean give up, it just means give up on the fake tug of war game.

If you are playing tug of war while someone rummages through your handbag looking for cash, the first step to stopping them is putting down the rope and going after them. It is like if everyone was pushing on a fake fire escape in a burning building: the first step to getting them out of there is showing them that the door is just painted on the wall and does not lead anywhere. That is not telling them to give up hope, it is just telling them to give up on an ineffective strategy.

Every claim the western "rules-based international order" makes about itself and its values has been discredited by the persecution of Julian Assange.

Current United States and NATO proxy warfare in Ukraine is not sufficient to defeat Russia, or even to stop President Putin from continuing to capture territory in eastern Ukraine. All it is sufficient for is making the war costly for Moscow while Ukrainians keep dying. That is because this is exactly what the empire wants.

"I care about Ukrainians, so I support a negotiated settlement" is a morally coherent position.

"I care about Ukrainians, so I support direct hot war with Russia" is also morally coherent, if insane.

"I care about Ukrainians, so let us keep doing what we have been doing" is not morally coherent at all.

It makes sense to support a negotiated peace settlement if you want to save Ukrainian lives. In a twisted, deranged sense it also makes sense to support direct NATO intervention against Russia to save Ukrainian lives. But continuing with the current plan clearly does not make sense as a strategy for saving Ukrainian lives, because it just keeps getting them killed.

I of course point this out not to advocate a third world war, but to show that the western empire does not care about Ukrainian lives and is not doing what it claims to be doing with its proxy warfare in that country.

If the empire cared even the slightest whit about Ukrainian lives it would be drastically changing its approach, one way or the other. The fact that it is just maintaining the status quo of continuous death is their confession that they only care about grand chessboard maneuverings for global control, not the actual people who are fighting and dying.

One funny thing about Twitter is that the target audience for most posts made by blue-check journalists and pundits is not their followers but other blue-check journalists and pundits. Western news media is just one big circle jerk of bootlicking assholes seeking validation from other bootlicking assholes.

That is why so many of their tweets get so little traction but they will still have one or two blue-ticks chuckling at their esoteric witticisms and obscure references in the replies; it is because they are tweeting for each other, not for normal people. And that is how the entire profession works.

The Pulitzers are just a bunch of propagandists giving each other trophies and assuring each other they are doing brave and important work.

Meanwhile the public just gets more and more disgusted with them, but they do not care because their validation does not come from the public.

They complain that they do not get enough respect when in reality they get far too much. They are absolutely the worst people on earth. A bunch of worthless, simpering sycophants, the whole lot of them.
