A 1983 Los Angeles lecture by KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov on how the Soviets carried out ideological subversion of target societies through propaganda. He walks through demoralization and normalization stages.

HN commenters link it to argue that cultural subversion and normalization are playing out today, though mostly as a reference in unrelated threads.

We can assume that as the dust settles in the 2090s, when the self-sterilized crusaders die off without surviving children, we can write it off as the necessary loss of the gullible feeble minds that the state failed to educate. To mitigate this loss means keeping them in a productive career but nothing politically influential if we are to contain the spread. Keep a watchful eye out for the "Chuck&Larry" tax dollar distribution fraud which was intended to reward the child-rearing capacity of the newly minted loyal family. "... Normalization. At that stage, the self-appointed rulers of the society don't need revolution anymore... Stabilizing the country by force. So all the sleepers, activists, social workers, liberals, homosexuals, professors, and Marxist/Leninists are being eliminated. Physically sometimes. They've done their job already, the are not needed anymore. The new rulers need stability to exploit the nation, to take advantage of the victory." [15] Prevention is possible via fellowship, but their "freedoms" are the same as yours, which allows you to more easily identify these casualties of the lawless information distribution avalanche. We are "redirecting the blow" in our own way by allowing the termination of susceptible lineages in humane fashion to create "lebensraum" for the citizens who understand that strong family means the human duty to yield/educate/endow your replacements to carry on the mission because "non est ad astra mollis e terris via".

> What could be more "leisurely" than religion, that which is, after all, concerned with the ultimate end and the highest good? "... blindly raging industriousness brings riches and honour but at the same time deprives the organs of refinement that make it possible to enjoy the riches and honour; also, that this chief antidote to boredom and to the passions at the same time dulls the senses [0] and makes the spirit resistant to new attractions. (The most industrious age - our own - doesn't know how to make anything of all its industriousness and money except still more money and still more industriousness, for more genius is required to spend than to acquire! Well, we'll still have our 'grandchildren'!) If education is successful, each virtue of the individual is a public utility and a private disadvantage with respect to the highest private end - probably involving some deterioration of the spirit and the senses or even a premature demise: consider from this standpoint the virtues of obedience, chastity, piety, and justice." Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 21. To the teachers of selflessness The title of the article describes the merit of deliberate inaction to gain the virtue of wisdom. Wikipedia (universal standardized knowledge database edited by verified "wise" people?) defines it as the "ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight." I agree with the author, Jideofor Onwugbenu, that there is utility in the pen

Shaving a few minutes off your shower, walking to the shop instead of driving, turning your thermostat down by a few degrees will make no f@@kin difference what so ever to the horror that is coming. The whole point of these exercises is not to save energy but to engage the population to believe that they are part of the problem and therefore part of the solution. They are not. One of the most important videos on the entire Internet, if you cannot understand why then you are probably already lost. ▶ this video

They're not weakening twitter by weakening western society. If anything, weakening the society with divisive gender war and identify politics empowers twitter. The western economy suffers and more people become reclusive and stay inside all day on the internet. It's basic culture warfare and it's been happening for decades. Listen to some Yuri Besmenov [1] if you don't know what I'm talking about. Basically my point is they don't care, because any division in their enemies is a good thing for them. While they retain immense strength and nationalism. I'll give you an example of poisoning the well. So many dual-citizen self admitted Zionists in America and Europe are pro-refugee. They adamantly fight for more refugees in these host countries. However their home country, Israel. Is entirely anti-refugee to a shocking degree. It's all part of the same pie. Marxism, communism, feminism, egalitarianism. Destruction of western civilization. [1] ▶ this video link
