So I wanted to make my case that we are seeing play out at present with the November 4th meme is a natural human behavior that has been occurring in online communities for some time. (There have been some objections to my using my experiences in the Otherkin community as a reference to current events.) So I went and tracked down some videos that will illustrate this point nicely.

These videos are from one of the early pioneers of conspiracy media and basically the direct prototype of the modern magaCHUD- a Canadian gentlemen by the name of Sean Kennedy. (There used to be a Goontv channel of some sort that broadcast these episodes back in the day.) Sean is a great example of a person with a Cluster-B personality disorder that has cast himself as a Narrativist leader. Sean labeled himself "The loving Man" and tried to create a pseudo-religious group of followers he called "wogs". Sean supported this effort extensively with a variety of media productions, of which Patrolling is (for many reasons) by far the best.

Sean believed in a coming war between wogs and the "corpoliticals" and most of Patrolling is actually designed to be a how-to instructional guide for preparing for and fighting the coming rebellion. While I could spend all day dissecting the entire series I want to highlight two specific things here.

In this first video Sean is trespassinginvestigating a possible source of occult activity in his area. Note the combination of tacticlol gear, self-contradictory beliefs that are composed of a mishmash of popular media, and the conviction that he must conduct paramilitary operations against a vaguely defined Enemy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBB4IeeBAQY


This entire second episode is devoted to "Operation Ghost Dance", Sean Kennedy's own personal attempt to trigger some sort of world changing event. Mr "I am a wog and wogs are perfectly logical beings that evaluate everything objectively and without emotional attachment" Sean Kennedy wanders around asking various experts about his idea to get a bunch of people to all do drugs and meditate at the same time while listening to a mixtape he made of ideas he got from a fake MKULTRA manual. And by "consulting experts" I mean asking local pagan shop owners and friends of his who look like they work at comic book stores. (Hint, they actually did.) This video shows the constant compulsion to make the world change in a big dramatic way (and to set a date for the change) that extremist echobox's inevitably create.

To be honest with you PJ, I doubt anything that you put forward will persuade those who have most vocally opposed your posts. It's not that they're objecting to you talking about your experiences, but that they've tossed out your entire collection of ideas and will refuse to see things your way no matter how you frame it.

The last video she posted is hosted by a guy who believes in something called “sacred geometry” and gives examples such as the Great Pyramids being one. He says there’s a lot of religious symbols that are actually like circuits that concentrate or redirect “energies we don’t understand.”

The kids are calling it "meme magic" these days but its the same basic delusion: I can force reality to conform to my will by speaking my intent forcefully enough.

That what is playing out right now is a naturally occurring Internet-enabled phenomenon that has been weaponized by political and business interests in the modern age. With Sean Kennedy you are seeing this phenomenon in a much more raw state so that it is easier to recognize what is happening now that the "corpoliticals" actually are manipulating the masses.

It's more, as understand it: nutjobs are running the far right, and they work the same way as this guy, but about politics, so it's worth caring and learning about, because they can and have already hosed things up for us as a society

So Prester Jane: Your point by repeatedly quoting predictions of violence on November 4th is not to make an actual, measurable prediction of violence that can be verified in the world, but you are using these predictions as evidence for your assertions about unchanging human nature. That nature being people are crazy group-thinkers who avoid reality. Am I getting this right?

The Secret is basically a mass-marketable version of the philosophy of snake-oil saleswoman "Abraham" Hicks. As in Abraham Hicks was originally interviewed for and involved in the movie version of The Secret but was later cut out of the project because well she is a psycho cult-leader. Basically her gimmick is selling this idea of sympathetic magic to privileged white folk who aren't quite HENRY'S but really really really really want to be.
