Escaping The Cave

#48 - The Internal Narrative Trojan Horse

"The fiction is taken as truth because the fiction is badly needed." A quick introduction to Walter Lippmann and the commonality between him, Ellul, Bernays, Haidt, and Harari. People can't personally perceive the world beyond their own sliver of firsthand experience. Therefore, the Current Events Man is beholden, dependent upon, and therefore exploited by the propagandist and his digital distortions. If democracy is demands an "enlightened citizenry", it's likely doomed from the start. Paradoxically, there's a stab at some hope in here too. Weird.

#47 - Wokeflake Comedy: Sociological Propaganda

A rare ETC podcast: one topic. The stage that was once the playground of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Hicks, and even Andrew Dice Clay has been stormed by a mob of Social Vengeance Warriors hell bent on using comedy as a delivery mechanism for textbook sociological and agitation propaganda, complete with its own version of the Ten Commandments (now in print!) and a handy scapegoat Satan. When does the "Thank You, Comrade!" showcase start?

ALSO: 

• Controlling speech is controlling thought; Speechcrime is Thoughtcrime
• Unless Nickelback is your standard, nothing great has ever come from timid conformity.
• "Unanimity requires compliance" and defiant creative independence

#46 - Newton's Third Law of Totalitarian Messiahs

Agitation propaganda doing its work, speechcrime taking root in the form of virtual media mobs enforcing cancel culture and its point-of-view authoritarianism, the Wokeflake Messiah will arrive soon, Newton's Third Law of Extremism, slave's spirituals and frightened children scrambling to the ideological church to be soothed by visions of a future Heaven on Earth.

#45 - Iceberg Ahoy! Validation Junkies & The Chosen Ones

Social validation, dopamine, and social media's Walter White; the predictably ridiculous reaction to Dave Chappelle's latest Netflix special and how comedy has evolved from truth telling to Wokeflake proselytizing; more on how people are more willing and eager than deceived when it comes to swallowing fiction and disinformation; choking on data leading to confused gullibility; honestly in a crisis; Sausage Party Hope: children demanding their happy ending.

#44 - Propaganda: Agitating the Inner Ape

Agitation and Integration: two often closely related but very different types of propagandas: one used to provoke internal conflict the other to shape members of a population into a mold. Agitation: The propaganda of insurgency and revolution. Includes how internal enemies are used as scapegoats to manufacture then exploit hatreds as means to an insurgent's end, Mao's view on "the enemy residing in every man" and fitting him into the "Socialist Mold", Hitler's internal agitation, spontaneous volunteer propagandists, and how facts and "truth" are irrelevant to the person burning with primal hatred. 

ALSO: 

• Agitation propaganda during the American Revolution 
• Triggering revolution by provoking hate? It's easy!
• Exploiting hatred and the path to genocide
• Hatred: small investment, high return
• Agitation and Integration can be used simultaneously
• Utopia is totalitarian
• Intellectuals: More susceptible to integration propaganda than dolts
• Intellectuals and self-bigotry
• "Can I hate you?"
• Justification, rationalization and stampeding enraged elephants
• Agitation to Integration: extremely difficult
• Successful Agitation + Failed Integration = Mob Rule
• Winter Is Here
• Yep. It's a doozy.

#43 - Monetized Agitation, Unleashing Hatred, Poking Crackerbears

This quick primer episode is the uncomfortable preface to Jacques Ellul's agitation propaganda. I explore how our Matrix Avatars themselves act as agitation propaganda and the way the informational cyber-swamp has actually managed to monetize it. Also Ellul on the dangerous effects of suppressing innate drives and human nature, the Ideology of Happiness, the universal violent human instinct, the devastating effects of dissolving human domestication to unleash and exploit primal hatred, and the self-defeating ignorance of poking the hibernating Crackerbear.

When it's done, to quote William Munny, "Have a drink, kid."

#42 - Propaganda: Contradictions, Agitation Media, Typhoid Mark

Propaganda's ambiguity and contradictions including: creating tensions while relieving others, the Outrage Media Complex and introduction to the companion propagandas: agitation and integration and how they overlap; self-justification and imposed guilt; attachment and ostracizing oneself to join the "enemy; politicization and privatization; "Why die for Danzig?' and how political orphans benefit extremists and authoritarians.

ALSO:

• Andrew Sullivan on the boomerang
• Post-Truth hatred and division: a bigger threat than climate change
• Don't blame the bartender for getting you drunk
• Twitter, Facebook, and Typhoid Mary
• Atomic Ping Pong

#41 - Propaganda: Drunks In Denial

On Ellul's "The Need For Propaganda." We've both developed a tolerance for and a psychological dependency on propaganda's certainty-stoking, justifying, and and self-worth generating narratives, social media is a propagandist's dream, desensitization and an increasing desire for the excitement felt from being immersed in the constant, and necessary stream of propaganda, how our addiction has allowed both traditional media and social media "influencers" to monetize the Outrage Industrial Complex, our role as retained ideological attorneys, and wishful thinking (and possibly disastrous effects) of suddenly eliminating 320-million people's propaganda narratives. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Grab a sammich for this one. And maybe a stiff drink. Hey! I never said this would be easy! 

 

ALSO: 

• This is a triage situation; not a search for the "cure"
• Disinformation bit me again!
• Why we won't quit the informational drug
• A possible path to empathy
• The culture war is a War of Narratives
• Chosen perspective becomes "personal truth"
• Provoking shame as a "debate" tool: a boomerang
• Social media "influencers": personal brands hocking a product while posing as "journalists"
• The IDW: agitation propaganda

#40 - Propaganda: Righteousness & Simplicity

The Propaganda opus resumes with Ellul's take on psychic "dissociation". Includes more on wordknapping, how righteous and simplistic propaganda narratives silence the self and numb natural cognitive dissonance, replacing reality with the electronic eyes of the "verbal universe", the effects of disconnecting a person's personal opinion in favor of an acceptable "public" opinion, and how opposing propagandas affect the target.

ALSO:

• Democratic Socialists: as ridiculous during Occupy as at their "convention"
• Aligned, Premeditated, and Secret Consciences: Individuality and Haidt's Elephant
• Disconnecting thought & action  
• Opposing propagandas: political abstention or fanaticism?
• The IDW: Agitation Propaganda
• Data Overload and the Defective Human Mind
• Your congenial host and the Ideological Riptide
• No one's immune. Not even you.

#39 - Wanted: Wokeflake Demagogue, Dignity And The Useful Idiot, Tyrannizing The Vanquished

Todd, Chris and Rich discuss the Dayton shooter's leftist leanings being swept aside, poking the Crackerbear and how a real conflict between Woke Island and Trumptown might resemble an episode of "Lambs to the Wolves", Los Tíos Tom Blancos and their own dignity, informational chum agitating swarming ideological sharks, how suppressing a defeated ideological Holy War enemy might look in the 21st century, and we revisit "reparations" just to, you know, lighten things up. (Send the bill to Boris!) The Propaganda opus continues next time.

ALSO:

• Chris & Rich educate Todd on "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo"
• The PMRC and the new Left
• Corey Booker's "community"
• The Dragon, Kraken, and your own self-interest
• The absurdity of expecting a Matriarchal Utopia

#38 - Informational Anarchy & Deadly Insignificance

After more shootings, Chris & Rich rejoin the show to discuss our "news" (propaganda) consumption, and the predictably tribal response. We're malleable psychological adolescents and clearly unprepared for this informational responsibility. Also, the same recycled arguments with a few new propaganda twists, did you know the Dayton killer was a self-proclaimed Leftist? Is it coincidence that most "news" coverage is in El Paso? Remote rhetorical assaults and the usefulness of "physical accountability": smacking bullies in the snout.

ALSO: 

• "Can I believe this" vs "Must I believe this"
• Snorting pacifists: lambs to the wolves
• Arya Stark: she was fiction. 
• "Educated Intellectuals" aren't immune to propaganda; maybe more vulnerable

#37 - Propaganda: Intellectual Autonomy & Banishing Fabricants

How propaganda acts as an informational virus to destroy critical thought and alienate the person from himself. More on data overload, the uninformed Current Events Man knowing a little about everything and a lot about nothing, mistaking feelings for thought, having to accept or reject an entire doctrine in total, losing intellectual autonomy, and how artificial tensions are often accompanied by dubious solutions. 

ALSO:

• Artificial solutions to real needs
• Real solutions to artificial needs
• "Influencers", their product, and their Patreon
• The Tribal Dance of Rhetorical Fuckery
• We're a species of sleazy lawyers and pathological liars
• Self-stereotyping caricatures
• It's fine to generalize then exile sectarian fabricants

#36 - Propaganda: Rationalization & The Religious Mind

The conclusion of Ellul's "Psychological Crystallization" featuring the makeup of its slogans & how they're used to replace thought. Also, collective belief and obsessions, self-justification/rationalizations and how they spawn the self-righteous Puritan, the closing of the crystallized mind, propaganda's religious personality, and the bizarre media phenomenon: monetizing your mind rape. 

ALSO:

- Marianne Williamson: The New Trump?

- Introducing the father of American propaganda: Edward Bernays

- They know you better than you know yourself   

- Propaganda's side-effects and how they mirror the '60's definition of "neurosis"

#35 - Propaganda: Inseminating Zealots & Vicarious Atonement

Begins with a takedown of "white privilege", self-flagellation vs. self-interest, and the asinine/futile demands of our Social Vengeance Warriors; beware the boomerang, Moonbeam. From there, I move on to Ellul's dissection of how propaganda hijacks the political cultist's mind. The first of two parts, this episode focusses on the distinction between doctrine and critical though as well as homogenous thought, codifying social, political, and moral standards, exploiting latent pre-existing prejudices, and the power of implanted stereotypes & symbols used as triggering mechanisms. The elephant is strong in this one!

#34 - Propaganda: Manufacturing Proselytes & Militants

Propaganda isn't what you may think. Ellul's ideas on pre-propaganda, propaganda's conditioned reflexes, myths, and "orthopraxy". Including the triggering of active and passive action (activists, influencers, collaborators), widespread participation by "committed" zealots, the separation between thought and action, exploiting the abyss between what we say and what we do, mobilizing men for action counter to their own values, and being unable to reverse ourselves once "action" has begun.  

ALSO: 

• Exiling naked sectarians
• Agitation and organization
• How the Internet rejuvenates and revives conditioned reflexes
• Technology indoctrinates us much faster than before
• Presuppositions, stereotypes, and political education disguised as universities
• Mind-hacking thru a broken firewall
• Seizing your intellectual autonomy
• Excommunication is painful. But Necessary.

#33 - Propaganda's Mindcrime

More on agitation propaganda and the psychological effects of propaganda including: loss of individuality, suppression of critical thought, creation of the mob and how critical thought is literally impossible as part of a group, the creation of a fanatically self-righteous social "conscious" leading to the demonization of the out-group, and more on the sphere of the sacred. Then, how propaganda partitions society (identity politics) via verbal fiction creating sects of victims who only speak "to themselves."  

Also: 

• Propaganda's only heard by its choir creating alternate factual universes: The Echo Chamber
• Manchurian activists primed for provoked outrage & action: Marionettes
• The creation of an abstract verbal universe: Personal Realities spun from Collective Narratives & "fake news"
• Sacrificing self-dignity to "the cause" and the danger of surrendering to "something bigger than yourself"
• Stereophonic propaganda
• Reclaiming individuality by removing your dog from the fight: Privatized Detachment

#32 - Spinning Mueller & The Sacred Cows

Congressional grandstanding for the cameras, Mueller's testimony: viewed and spun in parallel universes, deciding whether to read the report, voting your own self-interest (Yes! Do it!), the Current Events Man, asking the right questions, when boutique news becomes fatal, and the sacred Golden Calves.

#31 - Humanist Puritans, Wokeflake Jesus, Manchurian Crusaders

The extreme left's totalitarian purity test and its search for Utopia's messiah; self-righteous moral certainty and the narcissistic narratives of the secular humanist religion. Then, agitation propaganda creates armies of proselytes and militants while unleashing an uncontrollable and destabilizing primal hatred for "the evil other." No one's immune; would you even know if you're devouring propaganda? 

ALSO: 

• Silent Collaborators
• The Sunday School of political insemination
• Political missionaries always rapping at the smart phone's door
• Being right vs. "looking" right
• Ignoring history
• You're solely responsible for protecting and maintaining your own mind

#30 - Renouncing Patriotism And The Nationalist Boomerang

Todd, Chris, and Rich discuss how the left always inadvertently triggers heated nationalism with its self-defeating renouncement of patriotism and Zinnification: exploiting idealistic naiveté; how Zinnified agitation propaganda attacks national unity by destroying symbols and cohesively fictitious myths. 

 

Also: 

• “Racism” isn’t a "white thing" nor exclusively an American trait
• The ridiculous notion that propaganda-farting fleshbots are “changing minds”
• The slow crawl of social progress 
• Paying Granddaddy’s social debts
• Immigration and "becoming American"
• “Socialism rules!" Then why was there a Berlin Wall?
• Your special personal experience doesn’t matter

#18 - Propaganda 101: Corrupt Data & Telling Truth From Falsehood

“There can be no liberty for a community which lacks the means by which to detect lies.”  “Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.” -Lippmann. At 35:25: The difference between clever & smart and more on the DIKW pyramid and what happens when citizens ignore corrupt data.

- Justin Amash and the criticism from the left.

- Mueller's fumble and the Democrat's ensuing demand that he star in their 2020 reality show/campaign ad.

- To Impeach or not Impeach: just do it or STFU!

- Democrats are politically impotent to stop anything Trump does. How does that "protest vote" look now?
