Biden and his masters have lost control of their programmed followers

As it was then, so it remains now. There is a small rational faction desperately trying to control the lumbering beast of perpetual progressive panic, and right now, they are losing. The Biden Administration, for instance, has explicitly taken the position that schools should be open and offering in-person classes.

But there is something else going on here, something that says a lot about the operation of the Globalist American Empire and how it is headed toward a meltdown.

For a good moderate citizen who just wants to “listen to the experts,” life is more bewildering by the day. The experts and “authoritative sources” keep changing their minds on things. “Misinformation” long ago stopped being false information, or even heretical information that defied official narratives. Now, “misinformation” is simply anything that contradicts the specific emphasis from official sources at this very moment. One can spread “misinformation” by believing the official narrative just a couple weeks too long, or a couple weeks too early. Practically any statement from public health officials in the first three months of 2020 would be misinformation if repeated today.

In big picture terms, then, that means the crusade against misinformation is not a tool designed to enforce belief in any particular piece of information, or “the truth” write large. Instead, it is designed to enforce loyalty to certain sources of information. The only way to be entirely safe from the misinformation label is to mindlessly reaffirm the latest declarations from a handful of official and quasi-official outlets. The push to demonize misinformation is therefore a push to consolidate all narrative control in the hands of a few regime-approved (and regime-compliant) institutions.

Fascinatingly, though, this effort might be failing, simply because progressives stoked the furnace of Covid hysteria too much, and now the panic has spread out of their control. Because, try as it might to change narratives, the Biden Administration can’t get progressives to play along.

This month several high schools in Portland swerved back to online-only learning after teachers began to absent themselves in droves. Milwaukee schools went back into distance learning as well. In Chicago, the city’s unionized public school teachers simply canceled a week of classes after deciding that it was “too dangerous” for them to show up and do their jobs. The teachers only agreed to show up and work once again after the district agreed to even more onerous testing requirements in order to detect every school child with the slightest trace of virus in their system.

Colleges are if anything more deranged in response to even less risk. In the Ivy League, Yale and Princeton are still embracing totalitarianism as their preferred response to even the most mild of Covid threats

This has fascinating ramifications for leftism itself. Through Mass Formation Psychosis , the ruling class left seems to have finally memed its true believers into a pattern that it can’t talk them out of. For two years, they sowed panic by promoting the cult of the mask, the cult of the lockdown, and the cult of the vaccine. Now, they can’t suppress the cults they have created. Similarly, they ignited a “racial reckoning” in 2020 and are now powerless to stop the frenzy of murder and crime that this “reckoning” unleashed in every major city

The Globalist American Empire is losing control of its own followers. And if it can’t control them, how much longer can it hope to control you?
