Americans Are Rapidly Descending Into Madness

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Authored by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

I don’t live in an echo chamber, partly because there aren’t enough people out there who think like me, but also because I constantly and intentionally attempt to challenge my worldview by reading stuff from all over the political map. I ingest as much as I can from a wide variety of intelligent sources, picking and choosing what makes sense to me, and then synthesizing it the best I can.

Though I’m certainly grounded in certain key principles, my perspective on specific issues remains malleable as I take in additional information and perspectives. I try to accept and acknowledge my own ignorance and view life as a journey of constant mental, emotionally and spiritual growth. If I’m not growing my capacity in all of those realms until the day I die, I’m doing it wrong. Life should be seen as a battle against one’s own ignorance, as opposed to an obsession with the ignorance of others. You can’t legislate morality, nor can you legislate wisdom. The only way the world will improve on a long-term sustainable basis is if more of us get wise. That’s a personal journey and it’s our individual duty to accept it.

While I’m only in control of my own behavior, this doesn’t mean that the behavior of others is irrelevant to my life. Unfortunately, what I see happening to the population of America right now seems very troublesome and foreboding. What I’m witnessing across the board is hordes of people increasingly separating themselves into weird, unthinking cults. Something appears to have snapped in our collective consciousness, and many individuals I used to respect (on both sides of the political spectrum) are becoming disturbingly polarized and hysterical. People are rapidly morphing into radicalized mental patients.

What’s worse, this environment is providing a backdrop for the most destructive people of my lifetime – neoconservatives and neo liberals – to preen around on corporate media as “the voices of reason.This is one of the most perverse and dangerous side-effects of the current political climate. As I noted earlier today on Twitter:

If in your disgust with Trump, you’re willing to run into the cold embrace of these destroyers of the middle class and the Middle East, you’ll get what you deserve. In contrast, if we really want to deal with our very real and very systemic problems, the last thing we need is a population-level mental breakdown that leads to a longing for the criminally destructive political status quo, yet that’s exactly what seems to be happening.

Ok fine, so everything seems to be rapidly collapsing, but what are we supposed to do? First of all, don’t lose your minds.

As I suggested in February’s post, Why Increased Consciousness is the Only Path Forward:

As noted earlier, Wilber thinks 10% is a key tipping point. In other words, if we can get 10% of the population to center around a yellow second-tier level of thought, which consists of a momentous leap in consciousness, the entire world will change for the better. I agree. I’m not here trying to sell you a seminar on how to expand your consciousness; rather, I think these article can help spark some sort of revelation in the minds of many of you who are already at yellow, or at least at the cusp of such a transformation. Since consciousness can and does regress under conditions of stress and fear, it’s extremely important to be conscious of your consciousness so that you don’t fall back into lower states.

Unfortunately, I see many people regressing at the moment, and I see the media as an intentional force in trying to get people to lower their consciousness. A perfect way to tell if someone is operating at a low level of consciousness is if they’re constantly placing tens of millions of their fellow citizens into an outside group they subsequently demonize. It’s perfectly fine and healthy to harshly criticize the system itself and the many powerful individuals doing awful things within it, but once you start dehumanizing large swaths of the population as a matter of your worldview, you are most certainly on a very counterproductive path that will lead to merely a blackhole of nothingness for society.

Beyond maintaining one’s sanity, it’s imperative that conscious humans create systems and communities that have as little connection as possible to the existing and rapidly disintegrating paradigm. This will create “anti-fragile” units of strength within the collapsing Potemkin village socio-economic structure that dominates our culture right now. Some of these projects need to be local, while others can be global. Community farming/food production is a great example of a local initiative, while Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general), represent global initiatives to replace the hopelessly corrupt and archaic entrenched financial system. While crazy, power-obsessed tribes focus on taking over the hopelessly corrupt centralized government in Washington D.C., we need to continue to build separate, decentralized paradigms — and there isn’t much time to waste.

Fortunately, there are plenty of very decent, very conscious people out there. I want this piece to provide encouragement to those of you already engaged in this invaluable work, as well as inspiration for those of you looking for an outlet for your creative and intellectual energies. It’s never been more important to keep our heads steady and not permit ourselves to be sucked into the mental sickness infecting so many of our fellow humans. It’s imperative that we vigilantly guard our wisdom and consciousness, because the best solutions will only come from a place of spiritual and mental health. If you descend into the gutter with everyone else, your output will also end up looking like trash. That’s the last thing we need.

Stay strong and stay conscious.

      It is called waking up!

    • Rockledge

      Madness is WAY in our rearview mirror. We reached madness level during the 1999 election process in which not only did some semi-retarded guy run for the white house, people actually voted for him, and when he lost the supreme court put him into office anyway. THAT is madness.

      Since then we have been on a slow grueling boat ride to hell on bad waters.

      We have gone from being a religiously neutral secular country to being a nation well on its’ way to being ruled by satans prize religion, islam in a very short 17 year period, thanks to our love of neocons and their talk radio.

      • Boo

        Rockledge…neocon does not mean conservative, much to the liberal inept ability to read word definitions chagrin. Anyone who is an elite political NWO pawn is a neocon. This means your timeline is not long enough and fails to encompass neocons, like Obama, Clinton, Bush Senior, Johnson and Nixon. I know the programming pushes, to convince you, there is a good side and a bad side in this. But actually, it’s about anyone who supports elite agenda’s, militarizing police with rambo cops, over taxing the middle class and small business’s, nationalized healthcare, nationalized minimum wage, developing agencies and empowering agencies with accountable bureaucracies to over regulate, spy on and penalize the little guy.

        So you will always deal with the same old complaints until you start identifying the individuals in politics and bankers who have adeptly led you down a prim rose path. We do better when we don’t wear blinders.

        • Rockledge

          Indeed. My question is then, if you know this about blinders, why do you not shed them?

    • Syrin

      The problem, with the 10% rule is that 40% of the country are rabid Trump haters that are incapable of rational thought. That far and away exceeds the 10% rule. On the other hand, 25% o the country are die hard Trump supporters. So you have a nation that is truly divided, and the Antifa people believe they are the only ones who should have a voice, and they are allowed to use violence to enforce it.

      • Gojiroiscoming

        This is the most convoluted logic I have ever heard. You are the one incapable of rational thought. We elected a tax evading billionaire into office with a minority of the vote, who openly supports white supremacists, who is so childish he sues 10 year old girls for criticizing him, has no interest in governing and prefers to berate the very people who support him, cannot take criticism and cannot be counted on to tell the truth in public.

        The white supremacists at Charlotte SURROUNDED the counter protestors, brought armed militias, had riot shields, white point hoods, pipes and other weapons and one of them DROVE A CAR INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE!

        We fought fascism in WWII. We dropped atomic bombs to stop fascism. You have the right to PEACEFUL assembly and speech, but when white supremacists surround counter-protestors and start to become violent, they are unlawfully assembling as was determined by the local police.

        You’re so lost you support these idiots. They are doing the dividing by chanting “Jews will not replace us”.

        • Rockledge

          Being as we have not only been infiltrated to a massive extreme by our enemies and we have ghettos full of enemies who were born here, there is no “majority”.

          Trump was voted in because he opposed the evil that pervades in this country and wanted to make us a decent hard working notion of honest intelligent people again instead of a third world dependent class ghetto, which is what our cities have become, and now you see it creeping into towns and villages.

          The mass hatred for Americans from within our own borders is staggering, and although it is sad that the best decent hard working people had to choose was Trump, he still is the only one running that had any intent on keeping this nation from complete self destruction.

          Trump is not the problem, a warring extreme right and extreme left are the problem.
          The extreme right wants us all to be slaves to the corporations, the extreme left wants us to be a sex crazed God hating sick twisted ambition-less utopia, which is what they dream of.

          Sadly, we are becoming both. We are all now owned and operated by corporations.
          We now have a fascist police state in which traffic cameras at red lights are enriching corporate greed, and small business is nothing but a money filter for the corporate monolith.
          The other side of that is that we have become a sick twisted morally bankrupt society that is brainwashed by daytime TV that is aimed at the shallow end of the gene pool ( as is a.m. talk radio) and naive’ dreams of some “diversity” Xanadu
          when in reality all we are getting from it is a Trojan horse full of our enemies who are just now escaping the horse and declaring war on us from the inside.

          The sad thing is, it will be those who demand “equal rights” for the criminals who are here without permission who will be raped and slaughtered by them as they are having their property taken from them.

          The bottom line is that Americans are just plain fucking stupid.

      • Andy

        it’s akin to the hundredth monkey fallacy and if it worked as stated, the 40% trump haters would have caused a “paradigm shift” encompassing the entire population

        nothing more than wishful thinking imho

    • wunmansho

      Almost all of its fake. There are VERY FEW ACTUAL neo nazis. The government is creating and entirely fabricated narrative to convince people to agree to a police state. Its not us thats bad. Its our criminal government.
