One of my fave posts... I keep re-reading it... I hope someone else's reading it too... would be terrible to be alone in this insight. ( See the original post in its thread context, or just the paste beneath: )

I gotta add, loudly, following those memes [majority of which were fine, but for the few with more than a mere smear of mccarthyian redscare hangover on them],

Not my left.

And frankly, not even left at all for the most part.

Certainly not libertarian left.

I typically score around -7,-8 on politicalcompass.org 's test, and am not suckered into all those cliche strawmen "left"y loonies the media portrays to poison perception of "the left". ... "The left", as if it's that one homogenised groupthink of insanity.

Much identical to as what happens to "the right" too. That well known homogenised groupthink of insanity where you're all racist narcissist bigots.

This is how they pit us against each other.

They have their "I'm just like you" puppet for one side loudly offer that side one freedom that side's primed to care about, while quietly taking two freedoms they don't care about (or, maybe do, but are misdirected from awareness of that happening), and then they have their "I'm just like you" puppet for the other side loudly offers one of those freedoms back, while quietly taking two freedoms to use to provoke the other side again with, back and fort, tacking to more and more totalitarianism and tyranny.

An authoritarian right-winger, pretending to be a man of the people, for freedom... gosh, surely not, eh? XD Too many great examples, ... One especially probably first springs to most people's minds, I imagine. [PS, like is said in some conservative circles... "conserve what?". Which when deployed well, speaks well to the fact that we've all got to keep improving our resilience to succumbing to these inductions to groupthink.]

And we've the same with the Authoritarian Left and the Authoritarian Fake Left; the tankies and the "neo-liberals" (... nothing new (neo), nor liberal, about neo-liberal... it's classic orwellian name-changing, inverted, from what it really is, is same old fascism). The tankies' "well then we'll make them free" is as absurd an oxymoron as "for profit medicine", as highlighted by their "a patient cured is a customer lost". Marx's the obvious big example of "ecconomics will make you free" double-crosser, handing over the left (even the term "communism" first coined by anarchists) to the tankies.

"Send in the tanks" is as far from the freedom ideal of the left leaning anarchists, as the monopolist gangster despotism of the likes of Pinochet is from the ideal of the right leaning anarchists. See, anarcho-communist, and anarcho-capitalist... both anarcho... as in, no archo, no ilegitimate ruler over you... Surely that's the better uniting side...?

Imagine the libertarian left, and the libertarian right, stopped falling for it, stopped allying themselves with their authoritarian counterparts spinning economic wool over their eyes (as if that were to confer and restore the freedom they deeply know is right and proper to have), stopped being divided and conquered, and started allying with our freedom counterparts.

... Then we'd maybe all be better equipped and allied to prevent such monstrosities as the Georgia Guidestones, and the rest of the crooked corruption and monstrous ploys behind it.

No more of the grand scams and schemes to "depopulate" [anthrocide & ecocide], killing us with our love. If we stop falling for it.
