How Did We Arrive In A World So Full Of Hate And Division?

Tolle's explanation could have been accepted up until the military industrial complex (MIC) came into being last century.
Once the MIC was formed, a switch was flipped.

Now wars are fought principally to keep the MIC machine well-oiled, funded and satiated, with no regard whatsoever for the sanctity of human life.

I'm only halfway through this myself, but it's absolutely brilliant.
Thanks for sharing!

I watched half of this video yesterday, and it very much ties into the long-term agenda and how it quietly crept into the educational system of the US.

The Scientific Destruction Of Minds & Secret History of Western Education by Charlotte Iserbyt

Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they're told.

Exclusive interview with Iserbyt breaks down how conditioning/training under a corporate agenda has replaced traditional education, leading to a deliberate dumbing down of Americans. Iserbyt further explains how Reagan signed agreements merging the U.S. and Soviet systems under the United Nations banner, turning over education and many other areas of public policy to global control.

This is a must see for anyone who wants to truly know why the education system is deliberately crafted to produce human drones with no critical thinking whose only skills are to be subservient, trust authority and follow orders.

A Portland State University philosophy professor is resigning from his position after the university “Sacrificed Ideas For Ideology.”

In a scathing letter to the university’s Provost Susan Jeffords disseminated through former NYTimes Editor Bari Weiss’s substack, Peter Boghossian explained that the academic institution’s unwillingness to accept free thinking is harming education.

Back when I went to college, at Reed College, Portland, Oregon, in the 1960's, I knew of Portland State University. It is 3 miles (as the Doyle Owl flies) northwest of Reed, across the Willamette River.

Reed, at that time was sometimes called "Berkeley North", as its humanities departments were becoming increasingly dominated by the leftist ideologues such as would go on to become the professors who would teach those who now teach our children.

One day in particular I recall.

While those in the hard sciences and math departments of Reed continued their studies and classes in the traditional manner, most of the humanities departments, professors and students, suspended their classes and went down to Portland State (PSU) to protest the Vietnam War. Perhaps a couple hundred Reedies joined perhaps a couple thousand PSU students in a protest.

The Portland police would end up arresting seven (if I recall correctly) of the protestors, out of that couple thousand protestors.

All seven of those arrested were Reedies. I was witness to one day in the rebirth of Marxism in America.

Very interesting. Far as I can tell the Marxist movement went sort of underground in the 70's and 80's and reemerged with a vengeance in the 90's...and having wed itself to postmodernism and critical theory is now representing itself as "wokeness" or "social justice". No longer confined to our universities, it's spread it's poison into nearly all American institutions from religion to sport to big tech to government to..well, you name it.

It's like a solvent in the sense that it destroys everything it comes into contact with. Marxism has been cloaked in "equity, diversity, and inclusion"; postmodernism has eroded rationality and our sense of objective reality; and Critical Theory has separated us all into nearly endless categories which has resulted in nothing but tribalism. As a 3 headed monster it's given us "wokeness" which I will say with little exaggeration is downright Satanic.

Eerily, Yuri Benzomov predicted all this with frightening accuracy back in the 80's. About 15 mins long:

Here is an excellent Boghossian interview which I think is pretty relevant to everything being discussed in the thread. I think everyone needs to hear this. Little over an hour long for those that have the time:

You're right. I am also diagnosed with schizophrenia by the mental hospital in my hometown.

I have spent the day thinking about your comment. I am not really sure what to say except I have someone very close to me that has been diagnosed with the same. I admire this person's struggle and I also value her different thinking on subjects. I get very irritated with the lack of effort and concern most people and the world at large have for those diagnosed with similar disorders.

Because I care about this person a lot I have made it my mission to read Jung, Erickson, Freud, Krauthammer and most recently Jordan Peterson. Getting through some of this material has taken time and it has been a real struggle but it has absolutely been worth the effort.

xidaijena, I wish you the best

Sorry, really? My comment cost you think such long time? I'm sorry.

My schizophrenia is already cured.

I find the reason: my family, my job and my faith.

They all make me crazy and need to me to pay my life to live them out.

Thank God( the Greatest Creator).

I agree with Agape saying. She is wise and full of female energy wisdom which I value a lot. like FEMALE XUEFENG TO ME.

I am now very peaceful. never such peaceful in my life. no battling in my heart. just peace.

Thank you ,dear .

May the Greatest Creator bless you and all friends here too.

That really was the point of the post, back in the 60's there was a not so subtle shift away from capitalism and towards Marxism. There have been a few polls and a few articles that state that approximately 18% of college professors in the USA identify as Marxist. The true number must be substantially higher because those without tenure and those that simply don't want to be publicly identified as Marxist don't speak up. I suppose if the question was posed as who identifies as socialist the number would be around 60-70%.

Now that so many of these young minds have had time to leech into government and the workforce they are eroding the country from the inside out. Institutions and norms serve as shorthand for the guardrails and guideposts that shape the behaviour of actors within the American political system. The intentional destruction of the institutions is underway. The purpose of destroying these institutions is so they can be "reimagined" (lol) to fit the image of a different America.

The weapon of choice in the USA to accomplish this reimaging is race. Stalin and Mao did it with class and Hitler did it with Jews. The end results have always been catastrophic.

We are currently experiencing a rebellion by the elites directed at the working class. These elites couldn't care less about Democrats and Republicans, to them, it is all about power, money and control. They want us to be divided along political lines because it plants them firmly on the sidelines away from the anger, hate and division. I don't think that the elites factored in someone like Trump getting elected. That is precisely why there was such a radical and extreme reaction by the media. That's why there was election fraud on a scale never seen before. Trump was a wake-up call for the country. Was it enough? We will see.

I think you mean, "couldn't care less." I hate to nitpick, and usually I take no issue with the vagaries of UK/US English, but this one slightly maddens me, lol! Because when you say they "could care less", your meaning becomes: their degree of care is not all that low - and could be a lot lower.

Why do Americans say that! It's a contraction of "could not care less." That is the implication, and very purpose of this phrase. By omitting the negation "not", the phrase is rendered meaningless.

Sorry to be the grammar nazi here, but the butchery of this phrase has been used one too many times for my liking, and so now I must correct it, so there!

Their level of care is nil, it is absent, it is non-existent -- therefore they couldn't care less.
