True, and think almost all of us know this. The problem is how to avoid the trap when we are being pushed along the road towards the trap and trying to go back will mean being trampled.
Machines are all about speed. That's why the sensation of being trampled is so strong. In a world made for machines, moving at a human pace is an act of rebellion. Not necessarily going back, but at least going slower.
Sensation of being trampled! Oh for sure! And bypassed, herded, and ignored. In clinic, it's all about efficiency in seeing as many people as possible in order to generate profit by clicking all the govt and insurance required check boxes. And patients feel it. They know when you're not listening and then they don't truly speak. It's a horrible mess. Which sadly reminds me I have literally hundreds of charts from these past few days to click box. You just can't be both human and machine. So I human in clinic and machine in my free time. Sigh. Efficiency...right.
That's awful. Apparently there are 10 administrators for every medical provider. So, you have to do the work to pay for 10 paper-shufflers to sit and file all that paperwork you fill out. No sane person would design a system like this. It's the worst combination of government control and private-sector cronyism.
And yet the CDC will not provide funding to compensate health workers to file VAERS reports. They have to do that on their own time. The CDC Will provide funding to promote, develop, test, sell and distribute vaccines though. Go figure.
Oh, not true! Why, we have built in "administrative time" at "lunch" to complete such things that we really should have gotten done during patient visits. The ugly truth being said, I love my job. It's my choice to do things as I do and address tech after hours. Hard not to notice the higher ups with greater pay, true. Hard not to hate the legal junk we have no time to attend properly. Wish I had an answer but very easy to see the glaring flaws.
The CDC commissioned the Lazarus Report, aka the Pilgrim Study, in 2010, conducted at Harvard Medical School. Lazarus as lead author of the study and his two colleagues were all Jews. The study showed that less than 1% of vaccine adverse events were reported to the system. The authors gave two main reasons for this abysmal performance of the tracking system: too few people even knew about it, and people in the health care field were not compensated for their time in filing VAERS reports.
Since 2010 until today, the effort the CDC has made to correct these problems in its own reporting system, as identified by its own report, is exactly zero. During the same time however, the CDC has spared no effort or expense to promote dangerous, useless vaccines. It also promoted tracking and tracing of the movements and associations of people "sick" with covid, but nothing to track people sick with vaccine damage. The CDC has even espoused the "shielding approach" since 2010 (the same year as the Lazarus study, please note) which advocates quarantining people even suspected of becoming infected with any disease the CDC declares is a risk, in house arrest, neighborhood prisons, or regional prison camps. These are all called "green zones" under the Shielding Approach. The Shielding Approach is also used to imprison domestic terrorists, foreign enemy combatants, subversives and saboteurs, and any rogue group the government determines is a risk, including displaced populations from natural disasters or man-made factors such as chemical plant leaks, war, economic collapse or attempts at break-away societies.
The current Director of the CDC is Rochelle Walensky, Jewish. Her husband, also Jewish, is a Director at Harvard Medical School.

So true! Even the convenience of technology is a trap for dumbing down the masses. Does anyone remember how to look at a map and calculate the total miles to your destination? Does anyone still own a map?
Absolutely. It also increases our dependence on fragile constructs, controlled by an external entity. If the satellites go do down, or your phone service gets cut off, how are you going to GPS your way to a friend or relative in another state?
I am told CBDC will be the end of humanity. Even Vax Passes linked to Digital ID is the beginning of the end. The ultimate tech that controls us is Money. Control what we can buy, when we can buy it, how much we can buy, and who can or can't buy and sell, and the control is complete. The most difficult tech from which to escape the grip of control is money. They are trying to make it more difficult to escape all the time, such as laws against harvesting rainwater.
The first time I was in a car with a man using a map app that spoke in a woman's voice, I was freaked out. That seemed a grievous intrusion into our human relations. But now it is commonplace and even appreciated. Some days my map app speaks to me more than anyone else.
Same here! I do enjoy our moments of agreement, Karl. And, as somebody with a deficient sense of direction, I would be a hypocrite if I denounced GPS technology per se. I still keep maps though, for when TSHTF.
My brother actually threw his GPS out the window after missing a turn when the female voice informed him of his blunder. Guess it's all about PERSPECTIVE, huh?
The sad part is I really like technology, but the folks that control it is another thing all together. I don't mind not using a smart phone (I am the only one I know that doesn't) as I never really liked the things (small screen etc). But when I 1st saw people buying their coffee with one, I was quite glad I don't.
The other stuff though ... gave up a bunch of things I quite liked, just because of the people that control them and what they do.

Tech is a tool.
Like a knife, you can use it to carve people up and cut yourself, or master it and make beautiful works of art and other tools.
Master it.
But, learn how others would use it to master YOU, and stop them.
One tech they use against you is mind control.
You must understand mind control, both individual and of the masses, and educate the people about it, so that they may defend against it. Mind control is quite simple, it depends on repetition to create beliefs (beliefs are nothing more than thoughts consistently thought upon until they become subconscious), and degradation of the individual by toxins & bad food (e.g. saturated fats and cholesterol are essential to proper brain development and functioning, and have been demonized by those in control).
I have come to understand mass mind control is Cult Programming. It uses elements of hypnosis to pair emotional responses with specific triggers (say the name "Adolf Hitler" in a social setting and watch the freeze) and other techniques of imprinting during traumatic incidents (grotesque scenes in Hollywood movies, loud harsh sounds, flickering light on screens). But ultimately it is indoctrination into a Cult of belief and behavior.
The best way to escape this Cult is to recognize its dysfunctional, lying, controlling nature, and its detrimental effect on our lives. We escape best--and help others escape--by seeing another Cult where we will be happier and safer.
Therapists assist people in escaping from Cults by coaching other family members and friends in how to show the Cult-captured person that life in their Cult is much happier, more relaxed, safer emotionally and sane. This is why shouting at people to "Wake Up!" and expressing contempt for their deranged beliefs and impatience at their stupidity is counter-productive: it makes their Cult seem better than ours. It is even counter-productive to indicate the dysfunctional and damaging nature of their Cult. That only makes us seem judgemental and short of understanding. Best to let the Cult-captured person compare their Cult experience with the way they feel and think when they are with us in our much better Cult. So that must be loving, forgiving, accepting, humorous, relaxed, respectful, calm and clear.
Yes, and the purpose of the mind-control is to get you to join "the" cult.
This sort of indoctrination is going to have to be analyzed, understood, and taught, so that future generations can be free of it, and humanity can claim it's birthright.
Technology will rob us of our humanity, unless we turn to the GOD of our understanding. GOD lives in the Truth & I have to believe the Light of TRUTH will come to pass ...
Comin' up fer air after the new year, (an' much ado...) I had'ta say I'm fully on board with this one!
Tech is a trap for sure (as are the other nefarious traps listed) but the lure of tech is 'specially dangerous as it erodes the best of what is human and quickly too.
How many reliant on GPS (mentioned in the com-mints) plum fergit how to navigate without it! Buy a map as ya said and also do what us "ladies" do--look fer landmarks (left at the tie department or right at the Minimart).
I worry most 'bout the young'uns. Readin' on Epub devices with endless pages prevents (I larned) people from accurately going back to refer to texts or reference them--our brains image where things are on the page--that's eliminated with endless pages... Buy real books--bee-u-tee-ful hardcovers with great illustrations (Arthur Rackham anyone?) I'll read substack online but the rest--real live books (An' perhaps we all best git ta usin' our memories Fahrenheit 451 style ahead of the censors...)
Talented musicians fall into synthetic digital tropes and foller' meaningless trends. Too many students today using digital composin' software and not just sittin' their keysters at the piana. Also, I see sheet music replaced with glowing ipad screens, eliminating page turners who intuit the subtle moments that mark the breaths and connections of real life performance. I see digitally enhanced voices from folks who forego technique and just fake it (blech).
They even make these "do it all fer ya" cookers where you screen-select a recipe and the thing'll chop, dice, measure, cook and almost serve your dang food for ya (they are spendy and full'a emfs too--convection-based...) -- WHERE did the pleasure of and texture and smell an' JOY of Cookin' Go? (Victuals gone virtual... feh)
So tech is like one'a them Dementors from Harry Potter (if ya have kids this'll make sense). Sucks the life outta ya... not a fan. (I do have a flip phone--last month I averaged 11 minutes TOTAL on the thing.)
Whereas tech is tough (thin/mean/exacting/precise/boring...), real life traps (tender ones included) are far more appealin' to me (as a fan of old movies and--ideally--real old theaters with velvet seats!)
Here's the real not the mock fer luddites and nostalgics alike...
Don't join the dudebros who these days are saying "tech" while what they actually mean is just communications technology ;) It's just one instance of technology.
Loosely related and quite an insidious trap is the following – Schopenhauer said:
[The youth] have been deluded into an absolutely false view of life by reading novels {and watching movies and series}, [[which depict the ways of the world and of men who do not exist in real life,]] and expectations have been raised that can never be fulfilled.
And, in general, children should not get to know life, in any aspect whatever, from the copy before they have learnt it from the original. [...] The result will be that their heads are full of chimeras and that some will have a wrong comprehension of things, and others will fruitlessly endeavour to remodel the world according to those chimeras, and so get on to wrong paths both in theory and practice. For it is incredible how much harm is done by false notions which have been implanted early in life, only to develop later on into prejudices; the later education which we get from the world and real life must be employed in eradicating these early ideas.
No dudebro here. I am referring to microprocessor technology in general, not communications technology in particular. Samuel Butler and others were prescient in their predictions that industrial-revolution-era technology would evolve into forms that are antithetical to human health and happiness, and my opinion is that line can be fairly clearly drawn at the microprocessor.
I've never cared for Schopenhauer, but that is a nice quote. The idea that mediated experiences are inherently unfulfilling and misleading goes straight back to Plato's allegory of the cave. No argument from me on that.
Not only the microprocessor :) Medicine has gone astray without its help. In the 1930s, chemistry arrived at such a point where we began to be able to synthesize organic compounds with medicinal actions. The temptation was only too great to create symptom-masking medicines that conveniently stay away from addressing the root of disease, such as analgesics (NSAIDs, triptans), anxiolytics and sedatives (benzodiazepines), antidepressants, other hormone-like chemicals (steroids), inhibitors, (ant)agonists and blockers, hygiene products (against skin diseases), etc.
Once technology allows, sooner rather than later unscrupulous humans will do everything necessary to bedevil others.
That's an excellent point. While I am grateful for advances in surgery, dentistry, and anesthesia, I agree with you that advances in pharmacology have done little more than extend the medical industry's track record of using toxic substances (e.g., lead, chloroform, heroin) as purported therapeutics (while aggressively stamping out effective treatments that help the body restore its own balance).
Freud prescribed cocaine for his patients/victims. He was a coke-snorting fiend himself. Another deranged freak of the Jewish Power Elite falsely exalted and revered.
Yes, I largely agree. I've long seen technology as evil, because it seduces us in with its 'convenience' and usefulness, but then it addicts us and allows negative influences to reach us. It seems the perfect tool for The Devil (metaphorical. I don't believe in a literal Devil entity. It represents the influence of evil). a
But as for that story of the man who climbed a mountain and came back with rules for how to be human-- That appears to be a deception and trap similar to technology. The commandment not to worship false idols applied mostly to other Gods and Goddesses at the time, and trapped the Israelites in their exalted isolation. This created all kinds of conflict and turmoil in their lives, and revealed Yahweh as a jealous, insecure, egotistical god.
Moses then ordered all the "idolators" and worshippers of false idols such as Aaron to be slaughtered. His own clan kin, the Levites, were most enthusiastic in carrying out these commands of Moses who got them from Yahweh, that the Levites participated in slaughtering some of their own family and clan. Then Yahweh through Moses rewarded the Levites for their loyalty in carrying out mass murder by making them spiritual rulers over the Israelites, the Levite Priests, who went on to commit many other slaughters and atrocities against their own kin and "enemy" tribes.
So in this sense, obedience to the laws that make one "human" was a trap all its own, and a particularly deep and troubling one. The traps can be subtly seductive, or grossly ponderous, such as some of the Commandments. Here is where it may be good to ascertain Who is issuing the seduction or commands, in order to stay out of the trap. For instance, if the Jewish CEO of Pfizer is pushing vax tech, I can stay out of that trap by knowing who he is and why he must not be trusted.
The Children of Israel did what was necessary to ensure the survival of their tribe and its ideological integrity - a position that I think you can appreciate. Also, since Judaism is the only culture to survive virtually unchanged from the ancient era, one might argue that the strategy was proven effective. As the saying goes, you can't argue with success.
I am curious though ... For someone who hates communism, you seem to be echoing Marx's notion that religion is the opiate of the masses. What is your opinion of spirituality?
The Israelites did what their deranged, psychopathic genocidal god commanded they do, which was mass slaughter and pillaging. They are still doing it today in Palestine. And when they defied their mad god, even when just keeping a few sex slaves whom Yahweh commanded they slaughter, or when conducting a census (Yahweh counts the dead, but not the living), then they were inflicted with heinous punishments of mass misery and death.
Anyone who calls that "success" need to rethink their story. It certainly isn't moral success, which is the essence of religion. Christian religion anyway, I don't know about Judaic religion, that seems to measure success only materially, which isn't spiritual at all, it's anti-spiritual.
Marx wasn't the only one to say religion is a balm for the soul, or an addictive experience to temporarily mind and mood alter legitimate pain. I cannot possibly answer your question here, but I'll say that I think religion is a useful and necessary construct to help flawed people susceptible to temptation maintain functioning community and personal discipline. Christian religion anyway, Judaism and Islam and Voodoo and a few others look more dysfunctional than functional, at least in the realm of moral behavior. The mythology has a bit of overlap, and looks really twisted on the face of it, the Old Testament/Torah for sure. Jews have imposed Christianity on whites and others as a control doctrine, when a more nature-based religion and creed such as the (white) ancient Greeks, Aryans, Romans and Norse valued heroism, sacrifice, discipline and courage. Don't Jews really worship Lucifer? Who was it admitted that? Maurice Samuel? Rosenthal? Freemasonry is Judaism. B'nai B'rith is Jewish Freemasonry exclusively, and quite Satanic. The Sulzbergers who own the NYT were the 1st family of B'nai B'rith in NYC. Leo Frank the child raping and murdering Jew was the president of the Atlanta B'nai B'rith. Didn't the ancient Israelites worship Molech at some point, after the Babylonian captivity? That's where they learned the horrible practice of what went on to be known as Jewish Ritual Murder, which is rampant throughout the world today. Epstein was only the tip of the ice-berg (pun intended). Chabad Lubavitch is quasi-Judaic and a really nasty cult of power and evil. Extreme Talmudic Fundamentalists have no inhibitions about torturing, raping, exsanguination and ingesting of the blood of children. Grotesque but true.
You asked about religion. That's a small part of it from what I have learned.
Mostly, my religion is Jungian. Mysteries shaped by archetypes and instincts, the totality of the Self, "I'd rather be whole than good." The path of individuation means to become undivided within ourselves, to become whole. Yeah. Otherwise: shadow projections. Most religion is engaged in projecting its shadow in order to be "good". Not good.
Ancient persians created and practiced the first Buddhism, Mahayana. Persian mystics spread it to the East, and Asians adapted it. Persians were white Indo-Aryans. The name Iran comes from Aryan. Indo-Aryans also created Hinduism, and their caste system was designed to prevent the race-mixing which all knew was the ruin of civilization. It only worked for a while. The race enemies of these Aryans were/are the Semites, who we call Jews today. This is the epic struggle on the Wheel of Time, and we are currently in the Kali Yuga when Jewish power is ascendant and Aryan power is descendant. This is the inversion of Order, and after the Kali Yuga there is the endtimes struggle, and the Golden Age of Order when the Aryan race is properly ascendant comes again. This is Hinduism.
Interesting answer, thank you. As with many things, in religion "the dose makes the poison." Not enough leads to self-indulgence and worship of idols such as technology, while too much leads to fanaticism, violence, and "othering" of non-believers. Within that context, religion has certainly functioned as a mechanism for control, just as toxic (if not more so) than government.
Nonetheless, as with food, sunlight, and other requirements for the sustenance of human life, the correct approach is to find the wholesome degree of the thing, not to assume that we are better off without it.
Good points. It may be impossible to live without religion in some form, without realizing it. The mask wearing mania took the form of a religious regalia, similar to an amulet or talisman worn to ward off evil spirits. I claimed religious freedom of worship and chose not to wear the religious regalia. It is part of my religion to show my full face openly in public.
The holocaust story has taken on the full form of a religion, with canonic doctrine, pilgrimage sights, saints and demons, believers and heretics, and a mythological story guiding believers in how to relate to others and live a pious life in the world of sin and temptation.
Religious fundamentalism arises when a people's way of life and religious practice is threatened with eradication. Religious people cling to their faith more strongly, tending to transform what was figurative into the literal. This can be seen as a healthy response to an unhealthy situation. Those who assault religion know this and plan on and profit from the fundamentalist response, to demonize the religious folk the more, and discredit the religion still further. A lot of history is like this: action and reaction, pendulum swings augmenting each other as the cycle escalates.
It appears so bad today that another swing into extreme fundamentalism is needed to displace Jewish power. George Lincoln Rockwell spoke of the need for "fanaticism", as did quite a few others in their own way in history. If the threat is extreme, the response must be as well.
True, and think almost all of us know this. The problem is how to avoid the trap when we are being pushed along the road towards the trap and trying to go back will mean being trampled.
Machines are all about speed. That's why the sensation of being trampled is so strong. In a world made for machines, moving at a human pace is an act of rebellion. Not necessarily going back, but at least going slower.

Oh that's sad! Yes, having a gps is appreciated, although I hate it when it says, "fare un'inversione a U!" in a loud, scornful and humiliating voice!
Your GPS speaks Italian?
Yes, when it's mad and passionate, which is always. 😉
Does anybody still sell maps? Is there such a Resource as an Atlas?
I think maps went the way of Kodak film and Franklin Planners 🤪
I think AAA still gives out maps, and gas stations sell them.
Darn good post. Esp because it agrees with my thoughts! I want to simplify, simplify. Less engagement with tech.

And, in general, children should not get to know life, in any aspect whatever, from the copy before they have learnt it from the original. [...] The result will be that their heads are full of chimeras and that some will have a wrong comprehension of things, and others will fruitlessly endeavour to remodel the world according to those chimeras, and so get on to wrong paths both in theory and practice. For it is incredible how much harm is done by false notions which have been implanted early in life, only to develop later on into prejudices; the later education which we get from the world and real life must be employed in eradicating these early ideas.
No dudebro here. I am referring to microprocessor technology in general, not communications technology in particular. Samuel Butler and others were prescient in their predictions that industrial-revolution-era technology would evolve into forms that are antithetical to human health and happiness, and my opinion is that line can be fairly clearly drawn at the microprocessor.
I've never cared for Schopenhauer, but that is a nice quote. The idea that mediated experiences are inherently unfulfilling and misleading goes straight back to Plato's allegory of the cave. No argument from me on that.
Not only the microprocessor :) Medicine has gone astray without its help. In the 1930s, chemistry arrived at such a point where we began to be able to synthesize organic compounds with medicinal actions. The temptation was only too great to create symptom-masking medicines that conveniently stay away from addressing the root of disease, such as analgesics (NSAIDs, triptans), anxiolytics and sedatives (benzodiazepines), antidepressants, other hormone-like chemicals (steroids), inhibitors, (ant)agonists and blockers, hygiene products (against skin diseases), etc.
Once technology allows, sooner rather than later unscrupulous humans will do everything necessary to bedevil others.
That's an excellent point. While I am grateful for advances in surgery, dentistry, and anesthesia, I agree with you that advances in pharmacology have done little more than extend the medical industry's track record of using toxic substances (e.g., lead, chloroform, heroin) as purported therapeutics (while aggressively stamping out effective treatments that help the body restore its own balance).
Freud prescribed cocaine for his patients/victims. He was a coke-snorting fiend himself. Another deranged freak of the Jewish Power Elite falsely exalted and revered.
This leads into the Waldorf approach, which recognizes concrete learning must precede symbolic learning. Today most children have this reversed.
Yes, I largely agree. I've long seen technology as evil, because it seduces us in with its 'convenience' and usefulness, but then it addicts us and allows negative influences to reach us. It seems the perfect tool for The Devil (metaphorical. I don't believe in a literal Devil entity. It represents the influence of evil). a
But as for that story of the man who climbed a mountain and came back with rules for how to be human-- That appears to be a deception and trap similar to technology. The commandment not to worship false idols applied mostly to other Gods and Goddesses at the time, and trapped the Israelites in their exalted isolation. This created all kinds of conflict and turmoil in their lives, and revealed Yahweh as a jealous, insecure, egotistical god.
Moses then ordered all the "idolators" and worshippers of false idols such as Aaron to be slaughtered. His own clan kin, the Levites, were most enthusiastic in carrying out these commands of Moses who got them from Yahweh, that the Levites participated in slaughtering some of their own family and clan. Then Yahweh through Moses rewarded the Levites for their loyalty in carrying out mass murder by making them spiritual rulers over the Israelites, the Levite Priests, who went on to commit many other slaughters and atrocities against their own kin and "enemy" tribes.
So in this sense, obedience to the laws that make one "human" was a trap all its own, and a particularly deep and troubling one. The traps can be subtly seductive, or grossly ponderous, such as some of the Commandments. Here is where it may be good to ascertain Who is issuing the seduction or commands, in order to stay out of the trap. For instance, if the Jewish CEO of Pfizer is pushing vax tech, I can stay out of that trap by knowing who he is and why he must not be trusted.
The Children of Israel did what was necessary to ensure the survival of their tribe and its ideological integrity - a position that I think you can appreciate. Also, since Judaism is the only culture to survive virtually unchanged from the ancient era, one might argue that the strategy was proven effective. As the saying goes, you can't argue with success.
I am curious though ... For someone who hates communism, you seem to be echoing Marx's notion that religion is the opiate of the masses. What is your opinion of spirituality?
The Israelites did what their deranged, psychopathic genocidal god commanded they do, which was mass slaughter and pillaging. They are still doing it today in Palestine. And when they defied their mad god, even when just keeping a few sex slaves whom Yahweh commanded they slaughter, or when conducting a census (Yahweh counts the dead, but not the living), then they were inflicted with heinous punishments of mass misery and death.
Anyone who calls that "success" need to rethink their story. It certainly isn't moral success, which is the essence of religion. Christian religion anyway, I don't know about Judaic religion, that seems to measure success only materially, which isn't spiritual at all, it's anti-spiritual.
Marx wasn't the only one to say religion is a balm for the soul, or an addictive experience to temporarily mind and mood alter legitimate pain. I cannot possibly answer your question here, but I'll say that I think religion is a useful and necessary construct to help flawed people susceptible to temptation maintain functioning community and personal discipline. Christian religion anyway, Judaism and Islam and Voodoo and a few others look more dysfunctional than functional, at least in the realm of moral behavior. The mythology has a bit of overlap, and looks really twisted on the face of it, the Old Testament/Torah for sure. Jews have imposed Christianity on whites and others as a control doctrine, when a more nature-based religion and creed such as the (white) ancient Greeks, Aryans, Romans and Norse valued heroism, sacrifice, discipline and courage. Don't Jews really worship Lucifer? Who was it admitted that? Maurice Samuel? Rosenthal? Freemasonry is Judaism. B'nai B'rith is Jewish Freemasonry exclusively, and quite Satanic. The Sulzbergers who own the NYT were the 1st family of B'nai B'rith in NYC. Leo Frank the child raping and murdering Jew was the president of the Atlanta B'nai B'rith. Didn't the ancient Israelites worship Molech at some point, after the Babylonian captivity? That's where they learned the horrible practice of what went on to be known as Jewish Ritual Murder, which is rampant throughout the world today. Epstein was only the tip of the ice-berg (pun intended). Chabad Lubavitch is quasi-Judaic and a really nasty cult of power and evil. Extreme Talmudic Fundamentalists have no inhibitions about torturing, raping, exsanguination and ingesting of the blood of children. Grotesque but true.
You asked about religion. That's a small part of it from what I have learned.
Mostly, my religion is Jungian. Mysteries shaped by archetypes and instincts, the totality of the Self, "I'd rather be whole than good." The path of individuation means to become undivided within ourselves, to become whole. Yeah. Otherwise: shadow projections. Most religion is engaged in projecting its shadow in order to be "good". Not good.
Ancient persians created and practiced the first Buddhism, Mahayana. Persian mystics spread it to the East, and Asians adapted it. Persians were white Indo-Aryans. The name Iran comes from Aryan. Indo-Aryans also created Hinduism, and their caste system was designed to prevent the race-mixing which all knew was the ruin of civilization. It only worked for a while. The race enemies of these Aryans were/are the Semites, who we call Jews today. This is the epic struggle on the Wheel of Time, and we are currently in the Kali Yuga when Jewish power is ascendant and Aryan power is descendant. This is the inversion of Order, and after the Kali Yuga there is the endtimes struggle, and the Golden Age of Order when the Aryan race is properly ascendant comes again. This is Hinduism.
Interesting answer, thank you. As with many things, in religion "the dose makes the poison." Not enough leads to self-indulgence and worship of idols such as technology, while too much leads to fanaticism, violence, and "othering" of non-believers. Within that context, religion has certainly functioned as a mechanism for control, just as toxic (if not more so) than government.
Nonetheless, as with food, sunlight, and other requirements for the sustenance of human life, the correct approach is to find the wholesome degree of the thing, not to assume that we are better off without it.
Good points. It may be impossible to live without religion in some form, without realizing it. The mask wearing mania took the form of a religious regalia, similar to an amulet or talisman worn to ward off evil spirits. I claimed religious freedom of worship and chose not to wear the religious regalia. It is part of my religion to show my full face openly in public.
The holocaust story has taken on the full form of a religion, with canonic doctrine, pilgrimage sights, saints and demons, believers and heretics, and a mythological story guiding believers in how to relate to others and live a pious life in the world of sin and temptation.
Religious fundamentalism arises when a people's way of life and religious practice is threatened with eradication. Religious people cling to their faith more strongly, tending to transform what was figurative into the literal. This can be seen as a healthy response to an unhealthy situation. Those who assault religion know this and plan on and profit from the fundamentalist response, to demonize the religious folk the more, and discredit the religion still further. A lot of history is like this: action and reaction, pendulum swings augmenting each other as the cycle escalates.
It appears so bad today that another swing into extreme fundamentalism is needed to displace Jewish power. George Lincoln Rockwell spoke of the need for "fanaticism", as did quite a few others in their own way in history. If the threat is extreme, the response must be as well.
