This short essay is a part of a series of essays I intend to release today on the many complicated ways we are so susceptible to totalitarianism.
It is a complex topic with many permutations into history, culture, political theory, psychology - and religion, spirituality and government.
It cannot possibly be contained in one essay.
GASLIGHTING 101A - MAKING LIES INTO THE TRUTH
But because gaslighting is a core method used to engineer our consent to tyranny - it is a particularly critical
Gaslighting is a form of abuse practiced by serially abusive, sadistic toxic narcissists.
This gives us a working definition of how we are politically and culturally abused by sadistic toxic narcissists and of what the methods they use to stay in power.
Gaslighting is used by those in power to maintain their grip on such power.
Gaslighting is also known as psychological warfare, propaganda, and indoctrination.
These years of 2019-2024 might be named the Great Age Of Gaslighting.
So much so that by now we should be experts on resisting gaslighting by now - and yet it is all too clear that we are not - but continue to be well and truly gaslighted by forces seemingly beyond our control.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIE BECOMES THE TRUTH
GASLIGHTING 101 A
With these leaders on our side who needs enemies?
We are being so misled by professional gaslighters now we can hardly see our way clear from the gaseous fog which masks their true intentions.Â
The only way forward?
A massive revolution of truth telling which will expel the gaslighters and the fog they bring with them.Â
Common sense is not all that difficult to come by.
Fools are born every moment - but these human fools - all of us - have access to a path of feeling and logic.
Able to make choices to take a different path away from gaslighting and lies and toward truth.Â
Are humans as intelligent as cheetahs?Â
Remains to be seen.
Gaslighting and then there is gaslighting. The Marxist mentality to not discuss the real, but the imaginary like it was real. Denying reality again and again, and with the fakes available to us, being able to convince the still trusting public, who really don't have a choice, because that would be a choice, they are right again and again and the still trusting public agrees with them.
This is maddening!
That is the cruelest thing yet. Poor chertahs
