Chessen called for an “Enlightenment 2.0,” one that would bring the ideals of the original Enlightenment — reason, civil discourse, humanism — to the digital sphere.



The Enlightenment was all about free thought, challenging dogma and orthodoxy, debunking bullshit and babbittry, and overthrowing the establishment. That's exactly what the internet has been accomplishing and that Chessen fucker and his ilk want to shut it all down. Babbitts are always the most dangerous idiots in society, the babbitt mind can't tolerate ambiguity, it has to have a clear cut officially certified pronouncement on every question and issue. It also can't tolerate dissent, if you don't keep those babbitts in check they try to hijack all human discourse and force their official narratives and findings down society's throat. Institutionalized babbittry is what all the great works of dystopian fiction have been warning us about for the last century.


“We have seen the Fascisti in Italy and a number of clumsy imitations elsewhere, and we have seen the Russian Communist Party coming into existence to reinforce this idea…I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis…And do not let me leave you in the slightest doubt as to the scope and ambition of what I am putting before you…These new organizations are not merely organizations for the spread of defined opinions…the days of that sort of amateurism are over-they are organizations to replace the dilatory indecisiveness of democracy. The world is sick of parliamentary politics…The Fascist Party, to the best of its ability, is Italy now. The Communist Party, to the best of its ability, is Russia. Obviously the Fasicsts of Liberalism must carry out a parallel ambition on still a vaster scale…They must begin as a disciplined sect, but must end as the sustaining organization of a reconstituted mankind.”

Yes, these technocrats are just projecting. You showed how simple it is to take almost everything they say and just turn it around to understand what they are really saying :up:

Exactly, all mafia cultures have a language of subtlety they speak when there's outsiders listening. The technocrat-ese they speak is basically a thieves' cant that they load with double meanings and subtext, but if you listen carefully and really think about what they're saying and the context they're saying it in you'll hear some truly astonishing things.

A secret UK Government-funded infowars unit based in Scotland sent out social media posts attacking Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

On the surface, the cryptically named Institute for Statecraft is a small charity operating from an old Victorian mill in Fife.

But explosive leaked documents passed to the Sunday Mail reveal the organisation’s Integrity Initiative is funded with £2million of Foreign Office cash and run by military intelligence specialists.

The “think tank” is supposed to counter Russian online propaganda by forming “clusters” of friendly journalists and “key influencers” throughout Europe who use social media to hit back against disinformation.

I don't see why Julie Wark thinks the cable news in the U.S.A. should cover problems in France or other countries in detail when there is plenty of news in the U.S.A that they have trouble covering in detail. Why do these left-wing loons think it is the United States business to solve all the world's problems when we can't even agree to build a southern security border wall or to reform our own flawed immigration laws? Let them deal with their own problems and let us ignore it so we can concentrate on which teams will make it to the Super Bowl.
