When I think of The Frankfurt “School” I always think of who was likely their Patron Saint, Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci is the true root of what we now call, “Cultural Marxism”.

What is “tricky” about the Frankfurt School is that their critiques were often quite apt (e.g., fascism, power and the authorizers of power, high/mid/low culture, social construction, economics, Hegel, Marx, etc.) Their intellectual capacity was obviously profound, this cannot be denied. Marcuse, for example, may have been cynical, even psy…

“One Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many.” Uh, guns are inherently violent.

Hmmm… Where else have we heard that cynical rhetorical trick “One death from [fill in the blank] is one too many”?
-
Think of the opposite meaning, the more killed
the better, is what they really mean. No guns means less resistance to the agenda of depopulation or safely pulling people out of their homes for whatever reasons.
Color me a conspirator but the rhetoric points in that direction.

If literature of this caliber, referenced in many written and verbal conversations, is successfully removed from the ‘educational’ system, then we’re at the book burning phase even if literature is just pulled off shelves and tossed in a cellar.
As Dr. Farrell has stated many times, purchase what you wish to save from traditional culture.…

Can we just “cancel” public schooling in America?
Just abolishing this rotten–now molding and poisonous–system might be more humane than subjecting children to it. I value education a great deal, but how much education is actually going on in these schools?

Going back to C.A. Fitts, as enough people practice “shunning”, i.e. excluding the propintainment discourse from their sphere of consciousness, that discourse collapses. We already refer to big media as “legacy”, so this state will soon encompass those parties pandering to propaganda. There may be some residual survivals, which will be about…
-
A couple thoughts…
This “shunning” tactic cuts both ways. “They” are employing it via mask wearers vs. non and jab takers (future passport bearers) vs. non. These are just two examples. And, it is my view that a large section (majority) of the population are very entrained into the mainstream narrative (to a dogmatic degree) – shunning…-
Agreed, though there may be a silver lining. The mask thing is certainly meant, among other things, to create automatic social pressure and shunning via an unmistakable visual signal, and most of society is going to shun non-enthusiasts of face coverings and immunity passports. Now, that’s fine with me. (I do understand it’s going to cause…
-
Yes. I do use this ‘tell’ to gauge local sentiment and as an indicator of approach-ability for discussion. What I have found is that while these people may be anti-mask and anti-jab, they still believe that in time, life will go back to the way it was. They’re, for the most part, just anti-tyranny still without any real concept of the…

I can imagine. Well, anti-tyranny ain’t bad. You wouldn’t find even that much in a lot of places. As for people seeing more of the bigger picture, I agree with the seed-planting approach.

Fallibilism it would seem is a necessary component of thinking in the manner of a scientific intelligence. C. S.

Hi Scarmoge and good afternoon,
Fallibilism in Greek (modern Greek translation) would be:
«το αναπόφευκτο του ανθρώπινου σφάλματος»
“the inevitability of human error”
. . . or better still . . .
«το αναπόφευκτο της ανθρώπινης πλάνης»
“the inevitability of human (self) deception”Thank you for all your information, I will look for all th…

Such thinking (though it is but the quintessence of common sense) would require an acknowledgment of one’s own imperfection. The odds on that?

I would imagine dissent includes information blowing the lid off the lie. Well imagine why censorship is so vital to maintaining the covid lie and the “storming” of the people’s house of Congress while they were discussing the 2020 Presidential election.

Thus, Orwell’s:
In time of universal deceit,
telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

And it (the state) certainly seems to be going to a great deal of trouble to preserve a great many lies. Thanks for posting that quotation.

Speaking of Germany, it seems that the Goebbels 2.0 approach may well be short-lived (good for Germans and for all of us). The recent exposure by Die Welt of gov’t commissioning lying statistics to support the current “invisible enemy” meme is similar to the NY Times denouncing Doktor Fausti. Something that has yet to occur in the USSA.

Maybe they should demand freedom of education? Might help the thought part. (Bearing in mind that education and thought both depend on the speech part.)
