2012 was one of the most important years for the current generations, if not the most important. It was the year that saw an end to the Occupy Wallstreet movement and that signaled the beginning of the woke-social justice insurgence that slowly took over all media. In order to make you understand the significance of this transition, I will tell you a personal story of how I went through this transition and how it ended up changing my life forever.
Back in 2009, I started a freethinking group that mainly dealt with issues about religion and how blind belief hinders the ability of our species to move onto the next level of their evolution. Now, this statement might sound ludicrous at first but I have a good reason for believing this. In the group, I was posting almost daily extensive analysis about the state of the world and the subjects ranged from science, politics and religion. In the beginning, atheism was at the center of the discussions since in my opinion, politics and modern institutions are nothing but an extension of belief, and in most cases, blind belief not different from what we see in traditional religions. It tackled organized religion but not religion itself.
I supported for example the existence of homosexuality and provided evidence that approximately 0.003% of all people are born homosexual. The reasoning behind this could vary but it is mainly nature’s dice roll thrown over on an ever changing ecosystem. Same applies to all others mammals. We can observe homosexual behavior in very small numbers. This reasoning received support from many people up to 2012, especially closeted homosexuals. I come from a country which is extremely religious and close minded when it comes to homosexuality and this statement, along with atheism, anti-scientism (not anti science) and libertarian/ancap values were upsetting for many people. Nonetheless, throughout the controversy I had support since my conclusions were not just science based but something anyone could observe in the natural world if they chose to apply critical thinking.
In 2012 though everything turned around. We saw an immense increase in the promotion of homosexuality with parades being organized everywhere. We saw a clear push from governments, social media and traditional media pushing social justice in general. The number of people identifying as LGBTQ+whatever grew massively. Along it came migration, racism and all the common issues we see proliferating today. Dangerous themes of pedophilia started emerging and people started supporting phenomena in a very aggressive way. It was all over the news. All over social media walls. When I analyzed the increase of homosexuality in terms of media influencing, diet, microplastics, potential biological agents, screen time and dopamine levels, people started calling me homophobic and that I betrayed my values. That I went against the vulnerable. That I went crazy.
I would have accepted their proposition if it wasn’t for the myriads of evidence that showed major publications like New York Times having a insane increase in social justice keyword articles around 2012. About microplastics found in male testicles. About our food quality slowly degrading. About screens that were increasingly keeping us away from the natural environment and brainwashing us in social media echo-champers.
But why you might ask the general public became so oblivious? Up to 2011, Democrats and Republicans, right and left, “Communists” and “Fascists”, blacks and whites, immigrants and locals started realizing the cause of their suffering. They didn’t have any real quarrels amongst them. The problem was Wall Street and the cancerous economic system that was eating everyone alive. The establishment, having control of all aspects of mediums, decided to shift the eyes of the public eye away from them and onto one another. Our dying economic system needed one more push (since the last 2009 crash) before it died completely in order to give birth to a new one. Keeping it going was of the utmost importance. This is how we ended up today with Netflix trying too hard to present the smart successful black doctor and the powerful single lesbian mother.
For the system, an immigrant is important not because he is a valued human being but because it provides cheap labor in an ever inflating dying petrodollar. The humanitarian aspect was evidently a good angle to pray upon even if the same regime has been bombing their countries and kept them slaves for decades. Homosexuality and the liberation of women is important because it doubles the labor force, while cutting salaries in half. It also hinder the reproduction of new white slaves that have more potential to be well educated and cause problems. Notice how in the media religious white is the problem and almost never Muslims or immigrants with aggressive beliefs towards women or opposing religions. It’s a specific narrative and anyone would be a fool not to notice it.
Neo-atheists in my group did not have any problem criticizing Muslims and Christians but when I used the same arguments against Jews, the I suddenly an anti-semite. Neo-atheists believe that religion can turn a human being virtually insane, adhering to strange rituals and having a moral guide that is aggressive towards others. All well and dandy when it was about the Catholic Church doing this for centuries, molesting of children, subverting countries, mingling with politics and so on. But when the proposition was made for the Jewish religion, that’s when I was labeled a dangerous person and that I lost my mind. Same arguments, same framework yet people failed to see parallelism. A true demonstration of brainwashing.
It was then that I realized that science became scientism after 2012. Atheism became neo-atheism and engulfed in its narrative, one could find everything from feminism to homosexuality and immigration. Perhaps the most important realization was the confirmation of blind religious-like belief to a specific power that seemed to steer the wheels; the state in bed with scientism.
Our world is chaotic much like a thunderstorm is. Nobody directly controls anything. Yet, if you dig a ditch before the rain, no matter the chaos, most water is going to fall into the ditch and create an ever increasing body of water. This is how we ended up today with the majority of people following a specific path. This is what most people don’t understand about the nature of trends and beliefs. Sure, they can be self-immerging, but much like a sudden rain, one can direct the paths and utilize the aftermath for their own benefit.
