      Well, its always been around and always will be as long as their are humans on earth. Its just become so bad and so obvious in the last year and a half that if you have any critical thinking at all you can't help but see it. The ONLY reason why this is happening on a global scale and as fast as it is is technology. PERIOD. Process is exactly the same as it always was, there are just new tools for them to use in a new way never seen before. The predatory personality (someone who has no emotional price to pay for doing evil) is naturally attracted to power. People with a conscious struggle greatly with decisions that effect others, the predator's don't have that problem. Social media and the internet connected like minded predator's all over the world, in every industry and at every level. This also explains why the resistance has been so slow...a person with a conscious is going to understand how stressful and potentially dangerous fighting back is, not to mention all of the examples the elites have made of some through canceling them, character assassination, arresting them and in some cases even killing them...but...our critical thinking will understand the alternative and have no choice but to not comply.

      Why the MSM didn't dig a little further into this story re: the spa murder is beyond me. This story is every bit an indictment on illegal immigration and the sex trafficking of women and many are most likely underage. This article was written in 2014! Why did he kill Asian women? Because that is who work these places. This is not news!
      This is the very thing President Trump was trying to fix. Turning this on Trump seems so contrived, based on the pile-on today, and many seem to fall for it. We were warned recently to expect a false flag shooting to support the Dems attack on 2A. This, I must say, is a very clever two-fer. Go after Trump once again and I'm certain, 2A will be to follow.

    I just listened to a podcast on hidden brain about delusional thinking, how sometimes it can be a healthy way to cope; yet other times it can be a detriment to mental health.

      Well, some delusions are not so delusional at all, in practical terms, pertaining to their consequences/outcomes.
      For example, if they're merely simplifications of something that's basically roughly true, as in: it's predictable and observable in reality and in the allegedly somewhat delusional model, alike.
      So, conversely, more detrimental delusions are perhaps mostly such ones that let us believe something that does *NOT* happen/exist in reality.
      Hence it obviously matters if our delusions are of a practical kind, or rather more confusing/destructive ones instead.
      ...
      As for depression and logic though, maybe that's just to do with the fact that *reality is depressing.*
      (Sad/tragic/disheartening stuff happens in it.)
      So the depression might be a consequence of rational thinking, not the other way round.
      Although admittedly, the sobering effects of depressions might in some cases help us think clearer than say when we're highly delusional.

      Just so we’re clear, witch hunts happened after the Middle Ages. If you cried “Witch!” in the medieval era, even the church officials (though I hypothesize most instead of all) would look at you funny. You’d think this was a highlight, until you realize this only made homicidal cult activity, (which was actually a real concern in that time) abundant. Shame too, because they were actually an intelligent era. I suppose pride got the better of them in this situation.

That change happened at all is probably largely due to the intervention of Yersinia pestis, frankly..

      @@jrodowens Churchianity did ruin a lot of good for many people. But it’s influence wasn’t as notorious as a lot of “sources” claim it to be.
      1. For starters, there’s no possible way the church could have a hold on people’s literacy, even if it wanted to. That’s something passed down from generation to generation. Paper may not have been initially as abundant as it was in the previous era, but reading still would’ve been useful for reading wooden signs and text etched in stone. Plus of that, we have evidence that shows the medieval people actually had higher standards of literacy than we do (to be considered literate, you had to know Latin in addition to your own local tongue). UA-camr Shadiversity explains this in good detail.
      2. I’m not going to say serfdom didn’t happen, but that wasn’t all there was. Other positions were needed and/or available, such as blacksmiths, architects, bakers, doctors, scientists (no, they were not burned at the stake as school likes to preach), inventors, musicians, bartenders, authors, mercenaries, sheriffs, etc.
      3. Not all churches worked against people’s well being. In fact, the more Christ-like ones helped people from being unrightfully persecuted from hyperbolic churches, and even helped women obtain rights. In fact, by the time the Renaissance rolled around, when law fell to more Roman standards, women’s rights drastically decreased, not increase. Women could no longer join guilds, nor partake in military action, and most likely couldn’t hold their own land.
      4. Despite Moors and other people of foreign background roaming about medieval Europe, they did not care about race. There weren’t even human rights issues regarding color. In fact, statues of honor were made for dark-skinned individuals (such as knights). Racial slavery didn’t happen until the Renaissance.
      5. The medieval era contributed well to the modern era. We have them to thank for refined metal, glasses, clocks, chimneys, chain mail (scuba divers and some legal authorities use it), the printing press, etc. Heck, we would not have organized schools and colleges without them.
      A lot of misconceptions of the medieval era come mostly from our tried-and-failed-gap-filling (to compensate for a lack of concrete knowledge at the time) from the 19th-20th century, and some of it comes from intentional history rewriting from the Renaissance and the Enlightenment that would ultimately contribute the undermining of that thousand-year time, hence why it is called the medieval era, which means “middle of the ages”, even though that’s not what they called themselves. Regardless, we should be careful when studying this era, as there are one-too-many archaic rumors and myths that have yet to be dealt with even in our own “Age of Information.”
      Note: The medieval people did have various views of reality, but not all of them were far-fetched, nor universally agreed upon. Plus, not all kings were out for a “power grab” and some actually cared for their people. Unfortunately, as human nature would have it, this was not likely common.

    "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

      I see posts like this and wonder if the psychosis is the attitude being expressed in this very comment. What could be interpreted as _the greatest threat to humanity_ may just be our hashing out the flaws of ethics and morals before we progress to the next age. On a small scale of a single person, it seems best to offer what help you can to make a fellow human's suffering lesser when you see them unable to immediately pay or cope or eat, rather than to say "get a job," "get over it," or "plan ahead next time." But on a large scale, offering the same help seems like enabling and encouraging. The same goes for most modern issues that people are divided on today.
      Don't get me wrong, I see your point, but I have to wonder if it's because I suffer the same way you do (if you do). 🤔

Anyone denying their fears is silenced and killed or contained. People can be influenced to fight for their ideas that can be psychotic to a point where reasonable people are seen to them as just in their way.
