Kevin, I tried without success to enter the following under "Comments." Thus, this email:
Hyperconformity resistance as you have proposed is, as I see it, surrendering to the enemy, at least giving them much of the advantage, by weakening our defense of the truth. I see it as doing little good, having little impact, and which is even likely to do much damage to the cause.
What do I propose, then, even in the face of overwhelming enemy propaganda and absolute control over all the means of debate and discourse? I propose we keep proclaiming the non-diluted, unambiguous, unequivocal truth with great determination, courage and fortitude. In other words, with no compromise.
Hyperconformity resistance, to me, seems to be much too big of a compromise defeating our very mission, keeping in mind that the truth (and only the truth) shall make us free. Neither a watered-down half truth nor an exaggerated/embellished truth will suffice. Truth is all-powerful in itself and only needs to be spoken and disseminated, in complete conformity to the Way, the Truth and the Life, Jesus the Christ Who is the Redeemer of Mankind, Light of the World and King of Kings.
To those of us who are Catholic, truth is the holiness of the intellect. I suspect all men of good will, no matter of what faith, hold to such a lofty maxim. Therefore, I'd say we are compelled to continue a no-nonsense propagation of the truth to the best of our ability and with the grace given to us, and certainly with all due charity, diplomacy and prudence. To do so is to plant seeds. To do any less is, in my opinion, in essence to quit the combat, which is unthinkable for good people.
Truthtellers must never weary of or be diverted from fearlessly upholding, defending and broadcasting the fulness of truth. If we persevere in fighting such battles, ultimately the Lord God will bring forth the victory in His own good time.

My hyperconformity proposal is partly tongue-in-cheek. Obviously I am not seriously proposing taping people's eyelids open and forcing them to watch Holocaust movie marathons. So yes, I agree, "the best jihad is a word of truth" not hyperconformity.
Ron's dismissal of Israel's Genocide of Palestinians is misguided: "Ron argued that calling what Israel is doing to Palestine by that name is problematic, since the popular definition of genocide involves plotting to kill every single member of the target group". No; the ICC defines "Genocide as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethical, racial or religious group: a) killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part." So it does not require "every single member of the group" to be targeted. I think Netanyahu has perjured himself by saying he "wants to destroy Hamas" which is a legitimate political group. And his incessant indiscriminate bombing of Gaza is 'killing members' and 'causing serious physical harm' to the group and must be intentional or it would stop.
Yes, I agree....when other avenues fail....this works. I got a lot of attention in the "retirement" community we live in by wearing a large paper bag on my head instead of a mask during "covid". I cut out a section for my upper face and taped in cellophane so I could see to walk around. On the back of the bag I listed all the doctors and scientists who did not believe in "covid" or support covid "vaccines"....some here were aghast...many rushed to their computers to look up these names. I am still remembered here for this "brave" act...It was hardly brave....but I did get a lot of attention. On the other hand, there are plenty of people here who because they are not yet dead, think these "vaccines" are safe and effective. We have to do what we can as long as it is legal and harms no one
I always think of Jonathan Swift and his outrageous stories....they do reveal the shortcomings of many powerful cretins..
I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.
I have reckoned upon a medium, that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, encreaseth to 28 pounds.
I’m pro-Palestine but I can’t imagine lining up on an L.A. freeway to stop traffic in a protest. So, something is wrong with the pro-Palestinian protests, almost as if they are orchestrated to create opposition to their cause. What becomes clear in the University protests is that these schools are essentially biased. You can maybe get kicked out or punished for using the wrong pronoun, really? And with that level of political correctness, they can’t have an articulate voice that doesn’t provoke the call of “anti-semitism, really? Every grade school kid knows not to use the N word, is there a way to not provoke the J word. Grant it, the acceptance of this level of slaughter speaks to way deeper problems that might be beyond the reach of dialogue. So, maybe the protestors are reacting in a way to match what can’t be fathomed. Why do I sense George Soros in them, or BLM, or something else. It’s like we are in the nihilistic descent, to the place where there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Jacob Frank’s scorch earth or kelipot…. who knows?
I see your point. Maybe the Zionist Establishment doesn't mind "far-left Western-Civ-hating kids doing obnoxious pro-Palestine protests." What they really fear is a mainstream left-right coalition for "America first" whose first priority would be to liberate America from Zionism.
I've been guilty of hyperconformity for years. Every Facebook post I made that substituted globalists or bankers for openly saying Jews makes me guilty. Is openly discussing what is obvious ever going to be possible in the Jew S A? We've become so conditioned to be afraid of them that even the thought of open criticism gives many of us a conditioned wince, especially those of us of German heritage.
The question that must be asked is whether hyperconformity has its foundation in lampooning your adversaries or in genuine fear of them. It seems to me the two extremes can't be completely separated.
In the back of the mind of everyone who aspires to intellectual certainty is the nagging thought that they could be wrong, but to maintain income, stature, and appearances, they must convince themselves as well as their minions in the academy that they're right.
Most professors in the Zionist-controlled education industry enjoy a high level of care and feeding from their University patrons, and are not about to aim as high as they could possibly go for fear of stalling and falling. Accordingly, their adventures in bringing down those that could use bringing down must be taken with a grain of salt and a critical eye, even to the point where the eyes get irritated by the salt.
To take a few examples of this cultural conundrum, there were in Nazi Germany many professors who got their comeuppance before Hitler came to power and wouldn't have given "Zwei Pfennigs" for that uncouth, one-testicled apparition
whose education consisted of studying anti-semitic pamphlets which weren't even good for wiping your ass.
There were also justices in the Weimar Court who upon Hitler assuming power had to don baker's hats and
make their judgements from beneath a huge Swastika. Naturally that prejudiced them not a little, to say nothing of the specter of selling apples on the train platforms to Auschwitz.
To rehash, the emotions brought into play by conformity must be suspect. Do they represent an unconscious fear of not conforming, a genuine desire to conform (not likely), or ultraconformity as a roguish exercise in pushing one's country down a cliff? This question must be clarified before going to the next level, though climbing back up will be an exercise in itself.
Good points, Bob. You implicitly raise the question: When so many people are already hyperconforming to the point of self-parody, not as protest but because they are cowards, how do we use it to protest? Like parodic satire, hyperconformity has to be pushed "a little too far" so that the absurdity is underlined. But how far is that?
If the British had already been eating Irish babies, Swift's modest proposal would have been too modest. That's pretty much the situation we face vis-a-vis Zionist power today.
Maybe we are on the verge of a “Deus ex machina” moment when the civilizational walls come tumbling down. I mean, there are so many catastrophes about to happen, the economy, the return of covid with a killer mutation, invasion from the north, south, west, and sea. I have this idea that somehow or other the endurance of Palestine has won. We’ll see.

ok...I feel dumb asking this. What does S A mean after Jews? Great article, btw.
I was imagining people spontaneously chanting "Jew-ess-ay" instead of
'U-S-A!"
you know what USA means right?
