Origins of Totalitarianism on Display in Our Country
NBC just the latest to silence opposing viewpoints
“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
—Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
The over-the-top outrage from the extremely biased MSNBC over hiring former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor clearly showed its hosts’ intense hatred for anyone with opposing ideologies. Their mean-spirited personal attacks highlighted the snobbish bias of their insular echo chamber against allowing any dissenting voices into their privileged clique. For those not used to the nightly demonization of the “other side” spread on channels like this, it exposed their uncompromising prejudices.
The idea of giving a platform to one of the “deplorable” conservatives they look down on was simply too much for their self-appointed elite circle of supposedly moral superiors to tolerate. If their open contempt for average Americans wasn’t already obvious enough, their vicious attacks on McDaniel revealed an underlying hostility even toward their own dwindling audience.
Basic human values like brotherly love, kindness, and treating others as you’d want to be treated seem to be completely disregarded by the ideological enforcers across corporate media, entertainment, and Big Tech. Any deviation from their orthodoxy of massive government, trampling individual liberty, and subservience to their preferred global governance ideal is considered an unforgivable heresy worthy of excommunication, re-education camps, or complete destruction.
These arrogant, abusive bullies make up the current ruling class, justifying their hatred through a professed need to “protect democracy” and impose their vision for the “greater good.” But in reality, they are psychological manipulators systematically breaking down their audiences through a constant stream of divisive, toxic messaging. To those who allow it, this malicious assault can breed profound trauma — broken relationships, substance abuse, violence, depression — as viewers internalize the venom they consume.
The mental contortions required for their victims to see themselves as enemies of anyone who thinks differently is akin to the self-destructive mindset in abusive relationships. While it’s hard to comprehend staying trapped in such a toxic dynamic, we should offer a compassionate hand to anyone who wants help escaping it and waking up to the uniparty’s true intentions.
Sadly there are those unwilling to acknowledge their manipulated state, and they cannot be forced toward recovery. We have all awakened at different points on this journey, and unfortunately they either cannot or do not want to see the light of the truth. It’s past time to simply disengage, and focus productive dialogue on more open-minded people in your sphere of influence oriented toward realistic solutions.
The billionaire-oligarch globalists and their agents are well-funded enough to be surrounded in luxury, and are thus insulated from the society-shredding consequences their privilege depends upon. Their survival as the ruling class relies on perpetuating divisions and stoking chaos as a power-grab amidst creeping tyranny. Any deceived underlings still loyally following their script are destined for a rude awakening.
At this critical juncture, we must reject all forms of petty “us vs. them” tribalism — whether political, socioeconomic, or demographic. The core threat we face is a coordinated dismantling of individual rights like privacy and property ownership, clearing the path toward a new international order of top-down control like the UN’s Agenda 2030.
True self-actualization for all people, without totalitarian obstacles, allows each person to realize their God-given talents and potential through self-directed paths of free will and personal responsibility. This fundamental liberty, upon which this great country was founded, is completely antithetical to centralized dominance, surveillance states, and surrender of possessions.
The loud-mouthed voices attempting to herd the masses toward oblivion are self-interested opportunists with zero empathy beyond their own bubble. Their gravy train is too cushy to risk acknowledging the oppression they facilitate. They preach good intentions, completely overlooking the human wreckage that they both cause and need to underwrite their privileges.
And so the time is now and with unshakeable faith to rise up and loudly declare verifiable truths regardless of whatever short-term consequences we may face. Extend compassion, be kind, and work to find common goals among your family, friends, and neighbors. Remember that we all love freedom.
Stay on this principled path. It will overcome institutionalized tyranny through sheer numbers because we all value individual liberty. Start with that. And as goodness prevails over these dehumanizing structures, together we will see a return of mutual human dignity, self-determination, and unity.
Remain faithful — our ancestors foresaw light's reemergence from this manufactured darkness. Hatred is stagnant; it cannot endlessly subjugate individualism’s emancipating power. Our human spirit will inevitably spark a renaissance, and the unity of our shared destiny will transcend all attempts to divide us. Keep the faith. Shine the light of goodness where you can. Every person has the ability to spark change and to turn the tide toward our destiny of forming a more perfect union. We will reclaim peace, liberty, and justice ahead. May God bless us all with the fortitude and strength to weather the storm until the sun shines in peace again upon our great nation!
Please! I would hardly qualify her as an opposing view. She is closer to the left and did more good for them than ever for conservative citizens.
Great read!
