MODERN TOTALITARIANISM: LIES, SELF INDULGENCE AND CENSORSHIP
MODERN TOTALITARIANISM: LIES, SELF INDULGENCE AND CENSORSHIP
By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist
We are under attack by our own institutions. The judiciary is making laws and providing preferential justice, public schools and universities are attacking the founding of our county, and state department works to undermine our foreign policy.
Many of us have arrived at the mindset that material wealth and sex are the most important values. Keeping up with the Joneses has morphed into “being the Joneses.” It does not matter how the person gets there as long as they get there. Selling one’s soul for the greatest status has replaced living an exemplary, moral life for God and family.
Social media allows people to lie to the public to create a glowing narrative of their self-importance. Unfortunately, valuable time is spent by people taking selfies and working hard to increase their internet social circle, who they would not know if they passed each other on the street. This obsession with popularity greatly limits the ability to develop healthy relationships with one’s spouse and children. Self-indulgent people who lie about themselves are more vulnerable to other’s lies. They create a world of lies and have no solid foundation in reality. Being a habitual liar is a disease that spreads like wildfire on social media. Today’s youngsters are more susceptible to being liars to their self and others. There are no negative consequences for lying as they are not being trained to tell the truth by their parents who are also habitual lying role models.
Not only does social media create a platform for their audience to be dishonest, it also cancels any truth others may utter. Censorship by social media conglomerates impacts the news, information, knowledge and even the 2020 election. It has shut the door on intelligent debate spreading ignorance of the truth that leads directly to mind control and totalitarianism.
Social media along with television news, newspaper censorship, corporate diversity training and revisionist history in government schools and universities is a powerful formula to repress opposition and smother any dissent. Anyone who speaks up with a contradictory analysis becomes a liar who is crucified as a “racist, xenophobe or mentally ill.” There is almost no opportunity or tolerance for differing opinions.
The presidential debates were a prime example of this. They were controlled by a Presidential Debate Commission that allowed the moderator to control the so-called debate format. The candidates were not allowed to follow up when one of them did not tell the truth or contradicted himself in the debate. It was not an open debate; it was weighted against the incumbent. The unelected, arrogant political elites reflected in the debate commission and throughout the government bureaucracy must be replaced by individuals who defer to our constitutional republic not to their own political viewpoints.
Even in our corporate world “re-education camps” are being enacted. All employees have to comply by attending these seminars. The coerced individual who openly disagrees with the radical political agenda is apt to be demoted, cancelled from the area of expertise or be terminated. In essence, everyone quickly learns that if they do not play along with the game, they will step into an unknown world of much lower levels of power and standard of living.
This totalitarian transformation is happening with few executions and at this time with no mass lockups. However, there is subtle but forceful undermining of our traditional institutions of belief in God, family, nation and biblical history. This sophisticated indoctrination is coupled with economic incentive.
The implementation of rewards in rampant consumerism and casual hedonism has replaced the fear of a police state in every aspect of our lives. Although, with digital technology, almost every aspect of our lives can be deciphered by the availability of data that could be used to convict many of us for unsanctioned behavior and thinking.
We are at a crucial moment in U.S. history. We have been the freest nation on earth that man has ever experienced. We can only lose it if we cower in the corner as sheeple. We must lead by example exposing the lies and misinformation. We should be strong, positive role models for our children showing them there is a higher power than man.
The future of our children and nation is in the hands of free citizens. If we do not use our free speech, we will lose it. If we use our free speech, this cancel culture will fade. By doing our duty as good parents and citizens, we will save our nation from a coup that will leave us all enslaved.
We need to band together to prevent this disaster from taking place in front of the freest and most blessed people to ever walk the earth. Our biblical and national history should inspire us to resist this insidious elite totalitarianism from taking over the United States of America.
