Shadow Revolution

[Martin Hash]

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.

a political solution to a mass psychosis does not make sense

a mass psychosis has no central authority to even revolt against

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.

if your conclusion is mass psychosis then political paradigms such as "resistance" no longer apply

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

but a resistance requires an adversary which is subject to political restraints

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.

preaching to the choir

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

My Russian neighbors are pissed.
