The smelly petty orthodoxies contending for our souls and ruining our lives

“Daring as it is to investigate the unknown, even more so it is to question the known.” – Kaspar

It is my opinion that we must treat the West today as a crime scene. The scene of the crime are the floors of legislative bodies and the victims are the citizens whom the ruling elite seek to return to serfdom. Our leaders are portraying the greatest improvement of the human condition as the rape of the planet and the common person as the despoiler. Since for the first time in human history all our governments have torn the same page out of a hysterical dystopian playbook and are using it to forcibly confiscate our freedoms and our wealth.

One of the purposes of the scientific method of inquiry is to provide a means by which we can analyze the smelly, little orthodoxies which contend for our soul. Given the fact that the principal motive of the political class is not to improve society despite all their assurances of promoting social progress - since any real progress is almost invariably a mere by-product of very few of their actions – but rather to increase their own hold on power, why do the ruled who are far greater in number, accept this state of tyranny? Machiavelli identified several contrivances employed by the ruling elite to increase their power including coercion, trickery, subterfuge, the collusion of crony capitalism amounting to fascism, and the self-serving reallocation of capital expropriated by excessive taxation and fiduciary easing. But none of these contrivances alone could affect cementing their rule nor would it permit them to sink their talons into every cloying aspect of society without the existence of an overarching fallacious narrative. Today this has resulted in the elite promoting quasi-religious radical and fanatical ideologies to advance their revolutionary agenda. Note the hysteria around climate change, COVID policies, and the smelly, petty-bourgeois orthodoxy of the DIE religion of diversity, inclusiveness, and equity.

As evolutionary psychologist Dr. Gad Saad asserts, “At the root of the DIE religion is the unflappable and irrational belief that societies must exhibit equality of outcomes on every possible human endeavor. When this cancerous objective is not met, it is presumed that the sole possible explanation is institutionalized bigotry. Of course, people with functioning brains recognize that most complex phenomena are multifactorial in their causes. In other words, a disparity in outcomes is likely caused by a large number of factors of which institutionalized bigotry might be absent from such a list. For the readers interested in the pernicious effects of the DIE religion and its attack on the meritocratic ethos, please read The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.”

And so we see how the elite have created an ideological orthodoxy which cannot be questioned. In order to legitimize themselves the governing class invariably rely on proliferating ideas favourable to their objectives to convince the masses of the necessity of their rule, or as David Hume wrote: “It is therefore on opinion that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular.” - David Hume, Essays Moral, Political, Literary. And this is how an ideologically possessed power mad political class have used their revolutionary ideology so that it would become mainstream orthodoxy in order to cement their control over us! And their orthodoxy smells like shit!
