Shadow Revolution
When I heard the definition for “Irish Democracy,” (passive resistance to government rules), I thought it a perfect metaphor but now that I’ve considered it, Irish Democracy is too limited, so I suggest “Shadow Revolution,” which is passive resistance to the mass psychosis the West is exhibiting. Also add some Solzhenitsyn “don’t propagate lies” in for good measure.

Re: Shadow Revolution
a political solution to a mass psychosis does not make sense
a mass psychosis has no central authority to even revolt against

Re: Shadow Revolution
This evening my son, Heath, and I talked about what we could do to resist the psychosis, and he said he doesn’t talk about those topics, and walks away when people do. His strategy is to say nothing that gives him away, and only mentions resistance to trusted friends in the shadows.

Re: Shadow Revolution
if your conclusion is mass psychosis then political paradigms such as "resistance" no longer applyMartin Hash wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 9:29 pmThis evening my son, Heath, and I talked about what we could do to resist the psychosis, and he said he doesn’t talk about those topics, and walks away when people do.

in the face of mass psychosis, your options would be narrowed use force against it, or take cover from it

Heath’s a Millennial male; he isn’t of the age that can hide until he dies.

but a resistance requires an adversary which is subject to political restraintsMartin Hash wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 9:38 pmHeath’s a Millennial male; he isn’t of the age that can hide until he dies.
for example the French Resistance was totally ineffective against the Germans in the Second World War
either America was going to liberate France, or the resistance was going to be crushed entirely
now a mass psychosis infers a situation where there is no political restraint whatsoever
in essence you are implying that the masses are like zombies, and there is no political solution to zombies

As a fervent watcher of the first 5 seasons of TWD, I agree: can’t beat the zombies, you can only wall off your limited sanctuaries, and smear yourself in their offal when you walk among them.

reclusivity ftw
although my Russian neighbors are survivalists too
they lived through the fall of the Soviet Union, they say they've seen all this before
but it's not the end of the world, the sun comes up the next day, you still have to live in the ruins of empire
