The thing is, is that we all, we've...
When we think about blaming people, really, even in some of the worst, most offensive and, in fact, almost unforgivable cases, you have to look at people and really genuinely ask, can you honestly just blame them?
People are responsible for what they do.
But we have all been raised, I've been raised, you've been raised in this total political technique of,
which has formed our consciousness about the world, which has distorted our moral sensibilities, which has given us false aspirations and the worship of false idols.
And so can you blame people when they're misled?
Can you blame people when they become subject to mass delusions that send them into frenzies?
Because the system has been designed to do that.
And if you think that this is speculative...
The giant of post-war American diplomacy, George F. Kennan, who was a genius at preventing the outbreak of nuclear war, and so should be commended for that.
But in 1948, and you can read this in the congressional record, he published a paper called On the Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare.
And in that paper, he said that he should use the CIA, which had been created a year before in 1947, to basically create cultural propaganda through the direct sponsorship and creation in some cases of things like modern art,
sponsoring speakers such as Sir Isaiah Berlin, the international and greatest champion of the liberal idea in the 20th century, the art critic Clement Greenberg, touring musical operations and orchestras and so on.
And this became, if you like, the seminal point
of the development of cultural production in the mid to late 20th century, where you find now, if you look at it through this prism, you can see that practically everything that's produced in our mass culture is in some way a form of propaganda for the liberal political economy that rules us all.
So basically everything that you see, everything that you consume, all the avenues that you have to navigate to earn a living and to communicate with people, and even to get access to your own money, these are all contingent on some kind of tacit acceptance or submission to a series of ideological rules that you were never asked about.
And you don't really have any chance to object to, or you risk your meager livelihood for your increasingly worthless money.
And so when you notice that, this is another reason why people are losing belief in this system.
And it's not because of radicals and online extremists like me and bigots like you, Mr. Carlson.
It's because of reality.
