That includes Hollywood, Disney, the like…STOP FEEDING their egos. Focus on family and friends. Be truthful in who you are but keep calm. The inaction to their poking will make them crazy and they will out themselves and overreact all the faster….stand strong out there!! I really do think people are tired of this and this time is different. We will come out the other end different but better for it. It will take sacrifice…but the fact we’ve battled back against psychological and spiritual warfare this far is pretty incredible!

Everything that the left and progressives accused Donald Trump of, like narcissism authoritarianism much more they all had too much greater degree. It’s the most cosmic example of a psychological projection I’ve ever seen.

It’s like they were jealous that someone was stealing attention from them and they reacted like hysterical children and threw A collective tantrum the fallout of which could possibly bring down western civilization

What has surprised me is that many, many people seem to enjoy the elites having that status, and in fact seem to feel that some of the status accrues to themselves just by voting for and strongly supporting these elites. I was reading my neighborhood Nextdoor posts today, and a poor man objected to the fact that he was not allowed into a restaurant because he was unvaccinated. The replies used every mainstream narrative and cliché that exists to side with the restaurant, even though my city does not yet require vaccine passports. None of it made sense – it was on the level of “You have to wear a shirt and shoes too.” But underlying the replies was the unmistakable scent of a sense of superiority. I keep thinking of being on a conference call recently with some relatives as we discussed a family issue. A woman said without irony that she needed to watch the clock so that she didn’t miss Meghan Markle on TV that evening. I don’t follow the various Markle stories closely, so I’m not particularly for or against, but out of the corner of my eye she seems a bit vacuous to me, and also it seems she is beloved by certain women for marrying a super rich prince and complaining about it. I’m sure I’m getting the nuances wrong! But my relative had a flutter of excitement in her voice at the mere mention of Markle. Again, I’m not necessarily AGAINST Markle, but why the flutter in her voice? Why would one watch the clock so as not to miss Markle on TV? This is a relative who passionately believes in all the covid measures – vaccines and masks and lockdowns and contact tracing and on and on. I have seen that she just REALLY REALLY enjoys lording over me because she is vaccinated and I am not. She told me the other day that “some” believe me to be completely oblivious. SHE wore her mask outside when she was told to do so by her governor. This is all a long way of saying that I think what we are dealing with is not just an elite that exults in their elitehood, but also elite followers who exult in what they perceive as their relative eliteness over their unvaccinated inferiors. This whole debacle has given them society’s permission to unleash the snobs within themselves that they had previously kept on a leash, and for good reason.

Yes, and a new French Revolution is waiting for them. How did it work out for Marie Antoinette or Czar Nicholas II and his family? Off with their heads, night is coming fast for them, do not worry. They will eventually be defeated; in the meantime we dig our heels in and do not give an inch. Civil Disobedience all the way.

AMEN! Time to create our parallel societies. Fortunately we are a hard working, family loving, motivated group of people who WILL make this happen. I know it, I see it every day. People are waking up and joining forces with others...it is a beautiful thing to observe humanity coming together.

I read following yesterday and it ties in perfectly to what your write:

"...most global predators have no strong ideological commitments. They are strictly driven by personal ambition and the acquisition of wealth and power. They are not patriotic toward any nation. They have no religion and most are agnostics or atheists, with many identifying themselves as humanists or transhumanists. Their ethics are relativist, situational and tailored to meeting their greater goals. This vastly limits their ability to take over the world because people who lack a strongly motivating ideology also lack COURAGE and the required determination to succeed or to DIE in their effort."

This play by the elites for super-bonus points is real and it’s true that shaming on social media is pointless. Yes, ignore them and build something better!

el gato malo: I hope people are not still rubbing their puppy’s nose into it when they pee in the house. (Nothing metaphorical going on here, and it’s not surprising that a gato would harken back to this age old practice), but that method of house training is worse than giving a puppy an ill-timed treat, unless, that is, you want to produce a neurotic animal. instead, immediately bring the puppy to the door and demonstrate scratching on the door and/or barking at the door, and then bring the puppy directly outside and THEN give the treat and lots of affection. Love, Dog

Just like when Bill Clinton was asked about taking advantage of an intern: I did it because I could. no remorse, no introspection because he didn't think he did anything wrong. 🙄

You gotta hit them where it hurts. Bullies do not like to be made fun of and these people are bullies. Most are as ugly on the outside as they are on the inside. Exploit their weaknesses no matter how superficial.

Someone recently commented that their lack of concern for getting "caught" breaking the very important rules they imposed should be our first clue that they are not the least bit concerned or threatened by any of us because they know they have this in the bag. I hope that's not true.

Absolutely. They LOVE it. They love flouting their own idiotic rules. They love the humiliation rituals of masks and swabbing and boostfinity for the plebs and useless eaters

The Sociopath Next Door, by Martha Stout. I read the book a while ago. It helps you understand what some of the authorities are: sociopaths. Do you think Cuomo really cared about New York's health and safety?

I've studied narcissism and dealt with narcissists. This fits right into their mentality. The thing about narcissists - once you understand them, you see the pattern immediately when it crops up in different areas.

One of my favorite observed hypocrisies was John Kerry being asked about taking a private plane to a climate conference. He basically said that flying commericial didn't work for "people like me." Oh la la, Mr. elite horse face that he is, he wouldn't think of riding with the plebes.
