I'm really starting to believe that propping up feminism and social justice are machinations of the US intelligence apparatus, and this article is making me think about how deeply embedded they could be in show business.

I may make a separate post about this, but I saw an opera this weekend (at a major house in the US), The Pearl Fishers. It was an absolute travesty. Opera is pretty rigid in that the music dictates directorial decisions-- if you change a character's emotional take on a situation, it will be incongruent with the music. Anyways, they weakened the bond between the two male leads (which is really a keystone of the plot), making the tenor very disloyal, weak and unlikeable. His friend, the baritone, comes about as close to raping the soprano as can be done on stage, which renders his character despicable and also weak beyond measure. Literally his entire duet with the soprano he is kind of tackling her, pulling her around on stage by her limbs, groping her, in this desperate pathetic way as she is squirming and sort of trying to hold him off. In no way is this indicated in the script, or in traditional productions of the opera. So both the male leads are made to be loathesome creeps. The female lead is a priestess under vow of celibacy, but they polluted her character by making her completely uninterested in maintaining her celibacy from the start. It makes her, I guess, a strong womyn who was thrust unwillingly into priestesshood by the patriarchy. Anyways these choices totally deflated the drama so we were left with a historic work of art being turned into a multi-million dollar (I don't actually know their budget, but operas are fucking expensive to put on) 2.5 hour long feminist propaganda piece. I swear to god if it had been done this way even as late as the 1950's, the audience would have rioted and dragged the director out into the streets and beat him. I am going to check out the reviews now but I am thoroughly expecting them to be hum-drum and completely ignore the gender-political bastardization of this piece. I can't believe that half the audience didn't fucking walk out during the "rape," it's like everyone is desensitized to this stuff, and doesn't realize how insane it is to buy into this narrative.

This ^^^

My thoughts are along similar lines: We now know the following:

1) Propaganda, no matter how well intentioned, was almost limitless in the past.

2) The Snowden NSA documents confirm that cultural propaganda is alive and well online and elsewhere today.

The question is, how much of what we see in news and in online forums is essentially "fake". Like you, I think the entire SJW/Feminism/PC/Anti-white racism is nothing but one big gigantic propaganda effort. What I'm not sure yet is who is behind it. Is it the American government that wants its people as unstable, anti-social, distracted and weak as possible? Think 1984 or Brave New World. Or is it the efforts of a foreign government who know they can't beat us militarily, so they instead attack the soft target of destroying us socially?

At this point I don't have the answer. I think the first step is to outline a sort of manifesto that this stuff IS happening almost non stop. The next is to make a coordinated effort to call it out whenever we see/suspect it online. Google JTRIG for a start.

One final point is something I've though about the other site for a while. This could also warrant its own post, but I'll shoehorn it in here.

The other site was a place where some really thoughtful stuff was discussed. Pretty much everyone on there knew the following was accepted fact:

-The NSA is spying on you

-The war on drugs is based on a lie and has been a catastrophic failure

-The war in Iraq is the same

-The permanent warfare state is not an accident. It is intention and will remain alive and well indefinitely.

-Elections have long since stopped mattering, and both parties are against YOU

Pretty cool that a group of people all across America, and the world could all know and agree on that, huh? But then something interesting happened. The site started to tear itself apart. A certain group of people would pop up in every forum and sow enough distrust and hate between the members so as to render any discussion among serious adults impossible. One by one they took them down. An effort so coordinated, so constant, it almost seemed as if it was... someone's full time job. What type of person who was gainfully employed would actually spend that much of their free time doing such a thing? Nobody in their right mind. It was somebody's full time job to do so.

A year or so passed and what happened? The site is a cauldron of vitriol, hate and distrust and is nothing but a propaganda outlet for powerful governments, non profits and corporations.

I absolutely, positively refuse to believe that was just some simple accident. It was the coordinated takedown of a place that was exchanging just a little too much of the wrong kind of info.

Thoughts?

Western society is a game of subtlety, if you're not picking up on the aggressive-passive-aggression, you're losing.
