Narrative Warfare: Corona-chan Killed The 20th Century

Black Pigeon Speaks, on his Felix Rex channel, put out a video on Tokyo's not-a-lockdown now that Corona-chan decided to take a second visit to that country.

The first big takeaway is a reminder that Japan is a Face culture where screwups are punished severely, so using social pressure does work where legal legbreaking would be overkill over there. The second is that economic shutdown is as ruinous there as it is in Europe, the United States, and everywhere else it's happened and therefore is undesirable by everyone. The third is that, as with the rest of the world, there are folks who just don't care and carry on anyway.

In short, it appears that Corona-chan's had more or less the same effects wherever she visits with more or less the same responses. Specifics vary by country and region and nation, but the ends remain similar if not identical. What remains to be seen are the consequences; I doubt that Japan's going to embrace homeschooling, for example, or that we shall see Work From Home take off there like it will in the U.S., but neither do I see any serious negative changes coming either. If anyone's likely to shrug it off and go back to things as before, it's Japan.

This is not the case elsewhere. Here in the United States, we see that the fracturing that precedes a breakup has just cracked good and hard thanks to Corona-chan. Because the God-Emperor uses the principle of Federalism as the Founders designed, and therefore delegated day-to-day tactical and local logistics to the governors of the several states, we've seen that most paper Americans are truly so In Name Only and in particular we've seen NeverTrumpers and Democrats show their asses via petty despotism and willful incompetence at every step- down to revealing staggering corruption and short-sightedness that was only possible thanks to a compliant and complicit media establishment.

And now we have the factions reforming into regional coalitions--the prelude to outright Successor States--in violation of the U.S. Constitution, factions which just happen to be dominated by Trump's enemies. If Thomas Wictor wasn't cutting mega-threads on Twitter multiple times a day explaining what's going on in terms folks grok--yes, that Wictor--I doubt anyone other than the man himself could break through the MSM Wall of Silence.

Meanwhile, Canada's using this opportunity to further kneecap the productive West to safeguard the parasitic East and its outpost in Vancouver while Mexico's threatening dire retribution on Americans escaping south due to all the illegals fleeing back across the border (and taking Corona-chan with them), all with predictable results and reactions. The countries south of Mexico are as you'd expect (dysfunctional, in varying degrees) while Europe's path to shattering the EU accelerates and the Thralls in the UK demonstrate their contempt for the British nations by continuing to import hostile aliens to work for shit wages and conditions on the farms there (mirroring similar whining in the U.S. over cheap labor).

No, we're not coming out of this united in most of the world- and that includes the East. Sure, Winnie the Poohsident has locked down media yet again on the mainland, but word on what's going on does get out and go West; it's still a shitshow with Chinese characteristics. Same disregard for human dignity; different ruling dynasty. Many others over there will suffer similar issues, especially as many Eastern countries run off Face cultures like Japan does and so being seen to be responsible for fuckups is not an option.

Corona-chan's biggest benefit has been to burn away layers upon layers of bullshit built up since World War 2, especially since the Cold War ended, and revealed that this world we've live in is an illusion and therefore we've been delusional to think this is how things really are. At long last, the 20th Century--culturally--is over and soon we'll see what the 21st really will be.

Narrative Warfare: The Matrix Ain't That Allegorical

I read Anonymous Conservative daily. You should too. His daily News Brief posts are better news feeds than anything else, and just as worrisome at times. This is one of the less-disturbing items from today's post.

Democrats frown on targeting gang databases with ‘red flag’ laws. I’ve said street gangs were protected under Obama. Why would Democrats ever, ever try to get in the way of disarming gangs, if they support disarming law abiding citizens? Those gangs are recruited, ground-level muscle for the conspiracy, and like everyone else in the Secret Society, the Political leaders know the secret and somehow keep it from everyone who is on the outside as they carry out their orders.

The more you dig into how this world actually works, the more Occam's Razor cuts away from incompetence and coincidence and towards conspiracy and malevolence. This is the part where you need to be competent-but-malevolent, because you need to be able to foresee the consequence of putting such rules on the books and actively enforcing them against target populations while shielding favored criminals from those same rules. While some of the public-facing elements can be incompetent, the shot-callers are not and know full well that what they are doing constitutes Treason and Sedition; they are fully aware of their 6th Column status in throwing open the gates to the barbarians and allowing them to massacre the people they are supposed to serve.

That's because they don't truly serve those people. They serve Empire, and Empire demands blood and souls be fed to it OR ELSE. It's human sacrifice disguised as criminality, and that's why all means are taken first to demonize the very idea of self-defense and then to punish those who do so anyway, using known principles of human interaction as both the sacrificial knife and as the veil to conceal their Satanic intent. No need to wear robes and wield a knife when you can just import savage aliens and let them slaughter the locals for you while you remain secure behind tall walls in enclaves where only your own are present.

Again, this is the lesser end of the items today. The attack on the Saudi oil fields, likely by Iran via its Houthi proxies, are far more worrisome. The abortion revelations keep getting worse, as do the ties between LBGBBQ Crew and the Pedo Networks. The takeaway is this: The official version of events is always wrong, and almost always a deliberate lie. This doesn't stop with government and Establishment narratives on current events. What is remarkable is how things formerly confined to Crazytown are now finally breaking through into the mainstream, and that's something we can--and should--attribute to the Ascension of the God-Emperor.

Something big is coming. Something Empire doesn't want to come out. We can only hope this is, at long last, the beginning of the end of Empire and we'll see it fall.

Narrative Warfare: Revising Strauss & Howe's Generational Theory

This past week, Dragon Award winner and nominee Brian Niemeier put out a good post analyzing Strauss & Howe's Generational theory. In short, he posits--correctly, I say--that S&H failed to account for accidental or deliberate changes to the cycle of 20 year generational archetypes. Instead, by halving the intervals to 10 years you get a correct view. He's going off about it on Twitter in this thread starting below:

My readers & I have been discussing Strauss & Howe's 4 Turnings theory lately.

The premise seems sound, but a model's value depends on its predictive ability. Their model breaks down after the Boomers in a few interesting ways. pic.twitter.com/QdENVJSVFV

— Brian Niemeier (@BrianNiemeier) July 28, 2019

In short, the conclusion is that the Boomers have successfully cloned themselves--in generational terms--with the Millenials. However, I posit that they are not perfect copies, and so does Brian; Boomers aren't known for their incompetence as such, despite being so in many respects, but Millenials are. Egotists creating Narcissists means making moronic knockoffs of themselves- but hey, the Boomers will be either dead or insulated, so they don't care. Still.

Gen X got betrayed by our parents. Gen Y got gaslit. In both cases, they were damaged such that their core character was thwarted- but not annihilated. It can be rehabilitated, but it won't be easy and so it can't be done alone; both will need more help than Man alone can provide to make it through.

For the Ys, they need skill gap fillers; YouTube (et. al.) can do that. For X? We need hope, and there's only one way to do that- we've got to shed our cynicism and find our courage once more. It's not without reason that cultural artifacts which exhibit this trope remains popular despite our age, and burying ourselves in work like Cuckservatives is not going to do it; if the Ys need the practical, X needs the aesthetic- badly.

And nevermind waiting for things to fall into our hands; they won't. We'll have to seize it to get it, because it was stolen from us and the thieves won't give it back.

Narrative Warfare: Media Domination = Language Domination

What I know will happen more and more in the coming years, as Generation Z comes of age, is that the current media establishment method of shaming-as-social-control will decline preciptously in effectiveness. "White supremacist" is already devoid of meaning, as it's been thrown around like a ragdoll every time some dissenters on the Right decide to speak in public about their opinions and argue their positions.

What else I know is that more people will begins to accept the reality that the official rules of the American polity are not the actual rules, and therefore more people will adjust both their expectations and their operations accordingly. The Establishment media continues to lie and defame for profit, just as the gaming media does, and while frustrating at times it is notable that fewer people believe these sanctioned liars with each incident. More and more of the routine deception gets exposed, as much by ineptitude caught on camera as by anything else.

The potency of the media establishment declines as the demographics shift against them. Specifically, that they fail to engage the younger generations with any approximation of the reach they possess with the Baby Boomers; as the Boomers fall out of societal power, so does the legacy media. This is an unraveling process; we've already seen newspapers collapse, and the Big 5 publishers out of New York and London are ailing (and with them the bookstore business) also. Radio's having to adapt to podcasting and livestreaming, and if they don't embrace the new they that too is done.

What this means is simple: the ability to seize control of a narrative, shape it as desired, and promulgate it uncontested is over. This is also plays into the push by Big Social to control the context; Narrative Warfare requires language control, and with the loss of media domination comes loss of language domination, as you no longer have uncontested control over what words mean- and therefore cannot control the context of events any longer.

If people are not yoked under a single dominant media establishment, then they begin to use language to establish their own contexts, and therefore can establish and maintain themselves against Empire and its objective to reduce all to Thralls- extensions of its will. Control over the mind begins with control over the language. Control over the language requires control over the contextualization of what one experiences, i.e. perception management, and if you cannot put to words what you experience then you can never see a literal shackle and still be utterly enslaved because you cannot tell others what you know. The memes are the ways Mankind spreads its knowledge, and that requires media freedom.

(Yes, this is what Hideo Kojima goes on about in his Metal Gear Solid series; most obvious in 2,3, and 5.)

And man, with the the Point-of-No-Return we just reached in the United States, seeing the freakout reactions all around will prove quite illuminating on this point to succeeding generations (wherever they are). Why? Because the mythology established in the West with the end of World War 2 is finally breaking down, and with it the symbols used as weapons by the media to shame-control people. Once that power shatters, and it will soon, we're going to see Empire fall.

Pebbles, The Time To Vote Has Passed

For those not paying attention to E3 this weekend, you likely heard about the anti-Sharia protests in the United States and elsewhere. While the lying whores that pretend to be news media gave cover to the pro-Sharia types, what wasn't well-covered were the violent outbursts that occurred. Antifa and their fellow travelers started shit, mostly in cities where their allies already run things, and while no injuries occurred the frequency of these attacks (and the continuing impotency of law enforcement there) means that we're now counting down the days until the shooting starts. Preventing wide-scale violence is now impossible.

For now, I recommend that you participate in the Safe Streets Project, but that will only buy time because it only delays the inevitable. Once Antifa realize that they can't rely on the masks, and they feel their brains about to burst because they can't stand the pressure, they'll cross the line and resort to unmasked violence en masse and double-down again on using their riot-threat to get cities, counties and states to bend the knee. The division of territory will become increasingly obvious.

Global civil war is now inevitable. It's now a question of "When?" and "How?". Hope for the cold war fought in courts, legislatures, and elections- messy as that is. I've studied enough history to know what the alternative, which is the traditional norm, looks like; it's not the (by comparison) clean and orderly way of the American Civil or the English Civil War. All of the dysgenic trends, and the totalitarian trends, make sense when you consider the Western Elites seeking to replace the Western Nations with more pliable peoples from elsewhere that are long-accustomed to being trampled upon by their masters. In short, the elites of Civiliation betrayed it for barbarians they foolishly believe they can yoke and rule. Fools.

The avalanche is coming. The Wolf Age is here. Get ready or get eaten.

Brilliance in Rhetoric: #OrcPosting

I started seeing stuff like this over my Twitter feed this weekend, and goddamn is it glorious and brilliant.

#OrcPosting https://t.co/VjuLYqGJXc pic.twitter.com/JG7SwnEI7M

— Bre Faucheux (@Bre_Faucheux) May 28, 2017

If you want more, you know what to do: search Twitter under #OrcPosting and enjoy the hilarity.

This is brilliant and effective rhetoric in action, as the Supreme Dark Lord noted previously. There's nothing difficult to grasp here: it's using pics from the various Middle Earth films, captioned with pro-Globalist SocJus propaganda (i.e. pro-Empire) with words swapped to show just how stupid, racist, and discivic that fraudulent ideology really is- and these memes are far superior at doing what the pro-SJW memers do, which makes the rhetoric doubly-effective upon the audience.

And the best part? The aforementioned Thralls of Empire have no defense against it. They can try to cite Tolkien's letters and other peripheral works, but it will fall on deaf ears and the smarter ones know it. I know what some of the bolder ones will try to do, but we have our counter ready: READ! ANOTHER! BOOK!. Again, the smarter Thralls know this and therefore will just say to let this blow over.

Fat fucking chance. We'll make the Hoaxing Media cover this as a legit story, just like we did for Kekistan, and then apply the pattern to something else just as powerful in terms of culture. We'll meme them to death, and then meme their memory to death. Empire will fall.

Pedo Hillary Is Empire's Thrall

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for treason, sedition, blasphemy, pedophilia, human sacrifice, and degeneracy. This woman is not simply a gangster, but a cultist and a cult leader. Her allegiance is not to the United States, but to an alien power; she would put all of us to the knife in sacrifice to her demonic master if she could- her contempt for we common people is all over the confirmed and vetted emails released by Wikileaks. It is, therefore, not merely a matter of lawful exercise of responsible citizenship to deny her bid for the Presidency; it is a matter of national and civilizational survival.

There is no scenario where a Hillary win is legitimate. By Federal statute she is already disqualified from office; her proven mishandling of classified material does this. By her own emails, she confesses to illegally rigging the Democrat primary; that's conspiracy on top of other acts. If she would readily rig the primary, then there is no doubt she will order the rigging of the general; her win is tainted, suspect, and likely an outcome of criminal conspiracy to corrupt the process.

Hillary's emails show her collusion with foreign nationals for her own gain at the expense of the American nation, the Republic, and the United States as a country. Hillary's ties to child predators and traffickers are known, as is her intimate ties to what goes on in those circles; by way of her, domestic traitors connect with foreign fellow travelers and facilitate international trafficking of their prey so material desires (the oil pipeline proxy war in Syria) can also be slaked.

Pedo Hillary is Empire's Thrall. She is so deep in Empire's embrace that she's been subsumed by it and is an avatar for it. Her evil, now out and confirmed, will only escalate should she seize again the levers of power in the United States. She brings barbarism, savagery, and chaos in her wake- as we see in the Middle-East most certainly. Vote for her, and you vote for Empire- you betray your people, your country, your God and Civilization and shall surely gain a traitor's reward.

If you wish to stop the threat to peace, justice, and Civilization then you cannot vote for Pedo Hillary. Make America Great Again. Vote Trump.

Max Igan: Reclaiming the Earth-Steps Towards a Collective Awakening

Max Igan gave this presentation at the Open Mind Conference Copenhagen in Denmark, which occurred over the weekend of September 21st of 2014. You see this because, underneath all of the historical details of his argument (some of which I have issues with), he has a valid foundation: the real wealth of this planet is the whole of the population, and everything else is illusory- and therefore ephemeral and changeable. We can do what we need to do without the systems of control that prey upon us.

The Echoes of the Guns of August

The First World War began 100 years ago this year. Due to the communications and transportation technologies of the time, there remained a significant lag time between the heads of state declaring war in the aftermath of Archduke Ferdinand's assassination and the commencement of hostilities. Procedures had to be followed, public support garnered by hook or by crook, and the militaries had to mobilize. First by train, and then by ship, Allied and Central Powers deployed their forces in Europe and elsewhere around the globe (though, to be fair, this was primarily a European affair). Hostilities--i.e. people shooting at each other--commenced on August of 1914, hence the meme referred to in the title (and the title of Barbara Tuchman's famous book on this moment in history).

That war changed everything. According to some, the First World War was the true end of the 19th Century, as the social paradigm that existed before the war did not survive it. The chaos that the war wreaked upon the world, especially in the West, did not end with the 1918 armistice; the changes in female social status, the shifts in political and philosophical paradigms, the economic upheavals (both the boom of the '20s and the bust of the '30s) were all foreseeable consequences of the costs incurred prosecuting the war. The common man, by and large, profited little or not at all from it- and the Versailes Treaty ensured that peace could not last, but instead that the war would resume within the lifetimes of those men who survived this round. The real beneficiaries, as usual, were the elites.

As Smedley Butler said, war is a racket. That war was one, and so has every war since then. (Arguably, every war from the 18th Century in Europe forward, but that gets into Crazytown turf.) Since then, the nature of war as a racket has become increasingly clear, and the propaganda required to manufacture consent (and therefore support) for war has had to become increasingly sophisticated to obscure the truth. More advanced manipulations, at higher levels of operation (more economic and less diplomatic in their schemes; this would become formalized and systamatized after the Second World War in the corporate-centric trans-national system that John Perkins would reveal in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

Perkins revealed that war, in this system, was the final failsafe when the system's ordinary operations could not be sustained due to the toxic effects of its operations. What is not clear in that book, or in the follow-up (A Game as Old as Empire: the Secret World of Economic Hit Men and the Web of Global Corruption), is that this system existed in familiar--but less company-centric--iterations before Perkins' time. Butler's testimony of his military operations, by way of the United States' government, does make clear that military operations--including formal, declared wars--are (as Sun Tzu, Machievelli, and Clauswitz all teach) nothing but politics by other means, and that means war is a tool of Empire.

So, why the echoes? August, especially in Europe, remains a time for many to take Summer vacations (holidays, for you folks on the other side of the pond)- and the establishments of the world are very keen on those vacations. Therefore, political events that make significant shifts in the world increasingly trend towards beginning (if not also ending) in August, with precursors or catalysts put in place in the months before; long before the backroom deals that spawned the phrase "October Surprise", we had this become a thing- World War I was just the first prominent expression.

Now we see a lot of similar things going on. Massive international alliances, each on hair-triggers, manuevering for advantage in a struggle for dominance are again a thing. An increasingly unstable global economy, threatening total collapse, is in the air and with it increasing political destablization that opens the door to radicalization and fractionalization (and therefore to infilltration by hostile interests seeking to shape events to their advantage). Attempted and successful assassinations of major figures are accelerating in frequency. Sooner or later, if this goes on, the conditions for a repeat of World War I will manifest- and soon thereafter, those conditions will produce that war. This is why I say "echoes"; history doesn't necessarily repeat, as such, but it often rhymes.

Empire knows this, and seeks to ensure its survival now that one host seems too week to continue and another host seems ready for the taking by leaping from one to another by way of war and the chaos that comes of it. This is the long game of Empire, that toxic meme that's ruined Mankind for so long, and now that more and more of us are aware of it we have a chance to kill it; all we need to do is deny it the chance to swap hosts. Let the current one die, quarantined and isolated, and scour its remains to be certain; don't let the emerging response become infected. Not easy, not painless, and not without sacrifice- but the opportunity exists, here and now, to stop Empire from extending its unnatural existence any further, to make Empire fall.

Origins and Adaptations II, Peter Joseph, March 15th 2014, ZDay, The Zeitgeist Movement

Randy Mabe Interview - "Astrotheology: Fact or Fiction?" - #188

Jan Irvin brings us another (very long; you won't be watching TV for an evening) episode of the Gnostic Media podcast. (Jan's description of what's in this episode is immediately below.) For those wondering if Astrotheology is a thing, and if it's legit, make yourself comfortable because this one is for you.

Description: "Randy Mabe joins us for this episode, titled "Astrotheology: Fact or Fiction?". This episode is being released on Sunday, January 05, 2014, and was recorded December 27, 2013.

Randy Mabe has been a Real Estate Appraiser for over 20 years.
He has a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Real Estate. He also has 2 Associates Degrees one in Accounting and the other in Computer Science.
Recently, Randy has gone back to school and has taken the following classes:

Mythology

World Religions

The New Testament

Ancient Egypt

Astronomy

After watching Part 1 of the Movie Zeitgeist, Randy began an intense study of Religion and Astrotheology.

This study includes watching/listing to nearly 4 hours of documentaries every working day. Basically, by working out of the home and as he types real estate appraisals he listens to documentaries on YouTube.

One night while sitting in a hot tub, Randy noticed something in the stars, it was a cross. Shortly after that Randy made a connection between the quatrains of Nostradamus and Astrotheology.

So, after 4 years of taking college classes, reading books and watching documentaries Randy is here on Gnostic Media to present the following theory:

That Nostradamus did not predict Hitler, Napoleon or any future events. What Nostradamus is really trying to tell us is that the Astronomy of 2012 is the astronomy for the greatest story ever told, or the bible narratives."

Of course, I'm embedding the video for your benefit. Get your notepad and grab yourself a cup, because you want to give this your full attention.

Peter Joseph in Berlin: Economic Calculation in a Natural Law / Resource-Based Economy

Peter Joseph gave this address at a Zeitgeist Movement event in Berlin, Germany recently. This is a long one, coming in at two hours at 45 minutes, but it is well worth your time. The address, as the title indicates, focuses upon the issue of economic calculation--one of the consistent complains from the Anarcho-Capitalists--and how it works in a world that's run on a resource-based economy.

If you want to skip ahead to the bits that most interest you:

• Intro: 0:00
• Part 1: Why Change?: 4:12
• Part 2: Post Scarcity: 30:59
• Part 3: Economic Organization and Calculation: 1:11:01
• Q&A: 1:45:10

There Is No Such Thing As "Crony Capitalism"

Anarcho-Capitalists and their Libertarian counterparts push, as an axiom of their paradigm, that there is such a thing as "pure capitalism" and therefore the "crony capitalism" we see all over the world today--this increasingly globalized corporatist prison planet--is an aberration that must be destroyed so the purity of true capitalism can be witnessed for all and sundry.

As my cousins across the pond would say, "BOLLOCKS!"

Peter Joseph said it best when he clashed with Stefan Molyneux: The Anarcho-Capitalist/Libertarian "Free Market" set are willfully blind to differential advantage, and therefore are dishonest in their defenses of the market and Capitalism because they refuse to address this very real emergent property of their paradigm as it actually works in the real world.

The capitalist assumes, as an axiom, that competition between rivals and enemies is ultimately beneficial for all Mankind because this competition in the marketplace--the "free market"--for the attention, and therefore the custom, of others forces capitalist enterprises to innovate their way into superior efficiencies at every point of their operation or they will be beaten out of existence by those same rivals and enemies. As this is the way that one's means to survive and thrive are gotten, this puts the weight of existential threat behind one's efforts in the marketplace. Therefore, it is inevitable that one will seek out and hold on to any possible difference that grants an advantage to you while denying the same to your rivals and enemies. Failure to do so will destroy you.

When the stakes reach the level of an existential threat, Fight Or Flight thinking cuts into the OODA Loop, and rivals quickly transition into a hit list of enemies that must be annihilated as security threats. The obsession with seeking differential advantage, and denying it to others, quickly translates into "If I am the only option, then why not destroy my enemies?" and that translates into committing violence upon those same others. This is where the capitalist marriage to the State arises.

Gangsterism is the origin of all government, and capitalism--because of differential advantage--inevitably leads to gangsterism; if there is no State, or it is in the hands of enemies, the capitalist will create one the old fashioned way (as the Mexican cartels are now). Otherwise it will align itself with the State, trading support in exchange for State intervention in the capitalist's favor; the need for differential advantage compels the capitalist to use the violence of the State as a proxy for its own gangsterism, wielding the State's power to destroy enemies and create advantages for itself that a rival cannot handle without also attempting to buy favors from the State. The State and the Capitalist are compelled into this marriage. This is why "crony capitalism" is NOT an aberration; it is, instead, the fully mature state of the capitalist paradigm- Fascism and Inverted Totalitarianism are the Endgame Stage of Capitalism, making Anarchy impossible.

This is why no amount of economic reform will bring about the structural changes necessary to be compatible with Natural Law. The Anarcho-Capitalists and their friends are deluding themselves if they think that their way is NOT going to destroy them in the end, which is why I cannot stand with them and instead go with the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project as more practical alternatives; the An-Caps are Patsies for Empire, and so are their Libertarian counterparts, making them allies only to a given point past which they become counter-productive to Man's freedom. No amount of crying "voluntarism" can fix this fatal flaw, and so I brush aside the black-and-yellow An-Cap banner in favor of something better and for now am just another Anarchist In Black. (Because I'm not that keen on the An-Coms or the An-Socs either.)

The Zeitgeist Movement: London TownHall with Peter Joseph, November 15th 2013

Taken from TZM's official YouTube channel, the embedded video below is a nearly two-hour meeting consisting primarily of Question & Answer Time. This is a video taken by members about members talking about issues of relevance to the movement and its future operations, and it shows that--despite issues with Anarcho-Capitalists and the Patriot Community--the Movement understands the underpinnings of Civilization and Empire, and are striking at the root of the problem; while the ACs and the Patriots, for all intents and purposes, run interference the Zeitgeist folks are putting together the superior alternative that will be ready to go when Empire finally falls and Mankind is able to fully embrace Civilization as it really can be.

Breaking The Set's Exclusive Interview with Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist Movement

Last week, RT America's Breaking The Set interviewed Peter Joseph again, and the full interview (embedded below) goes about a half-hour in length. Peter's questioned about the core elements of the Zeitgeist Movement, and Abby Martin actually lets him answer. (In the interest of disclosure, Abby is friendly towards TZM, so one can--if one were a dick--interpret this professional and respect attitude as being in the tank for the Movement, but I don't see it that way; a truly biased presentation would be a total soft-ball lovefest that doesn't even attempt to go as far as this interview did.) I'm posting it here for your convenience.

Well, That Escalated Quickly: Peter Joseph vs. Stefan Molyneux

Oh dear.

This post will have a lot of embedded YouTube videos. These videos document an encounter between Peter Joseph and Stefan Molyneux, one that began with a debate and then exploded into a series of response videos that--starting with Molyneux's response video--escalated into character assassination, which got Joseph irked and prompted a second response video that went up today. Rather than spend words on it, I decided to embed the videos for your convenience and let you see for yourself how this derailed.

First, we have the debate itself:



Second, we have Peter's first response video:



Third, Stefan's response video:



Finally, Peter's second response video:

*sigh*

I, like Thomas Sheridan, am rather annoyed with the drama of such situations. Like Sheridan, I see that this incident is the result of someone thinking like a psychopath dealing with someone that does not. Peter Joseph's assessment of Stefan Molyneux's behavior is accurate, and I regret my previous support of Molyneux; that post will be amended to reflect this incident and the exposure of Molyneux's less-than-ethical behavior.
