I think that these beliefs don't serve the same function as political ideas for you and me. I guess they do, somewhat, but they're also a way to identify people and signal virtue and gain status.
These CAN'T be serious beliefs because they are never applied personally. If you're white and you believe in white privilege then you should surrender some of your privilege to black people in your life... no? If you believe that carbon emissions are an urgent threat you should not buy many things on Amazon... no? Partly these are public goods problems but the people who believe these things don't do anything in the aggregate either. Their proposals don't make sense.
It's like watching a million people pretend to be religious. It has that same fake and demonstrative quality. Who cares if your beliefs are genuine or not when you don't live them?
A very good point, there's a lot of fake hypocritical virtue-signaling out there. Those people would NEVER go to fight for Gaza and Ukraine either despite all their loud pro Ukraine and pro Palestine stance.
But they would like to force others - e.g., mostly us, 'evil white supremacists' - to live up to THEIR values. That is, they don't want to pay any 'reparations' to Black people themselves but they'd love to force us to pay them despite we don't share their belief in reparations. It's so twisted actually.
I'm always amazed when people think evil is so easily recognizable. You make some great points. You mentioned, "do you think they are just going to come out and say their true intentions?" Of course, not. They will disguise their intentions through deception and put a nice pretty bow on top. I always remember the stories of The Pied Piper, the wolf in sheep's clothing and the fox and the hen house. The people running the show are extremely clever and cunning. It's absolutely stunning that after the past four years, so many people still trust them. Sadly, those who trust them, do so at their own peril.
Yeah, majority of gullible people apparently expect evil guys to start throwing people into gas cameras straight away but this never happens in real life. In real life, real fascists would actually first use propaganda to make people hate the desired groups for them, and ONLY after propaganda worked, would start throwing members of this group into gas ovens with silent approval from the majority. We saw this happened to the unvaxed during COVID, and this majority cheered the unlawful discrimination and even imprisonment of the unvaccinated. So the fascism actually started and majority is still clueless because their media didn't report it but spread fascist propaganda instead.
That's a truly terrorizing campaign, they should be imprisoned for it I believe. It's a deliberate terrorizing of the population in order to scare it into submission.
You nailed it. Slogans are the tools of occultists, they are word magic. The sloganeers cast their spells and the enchanted masses repeat them like a mantra. Unfortunately for the occultists, the slogans have an opposite effect on the ones who are aware that they are magic spells. The language of postmodernism is designed to obfuscate truths and is very much rooted in the same kind of word magic - they've mastered the art of wrapping a terrible idea in a tempting word salad.

An interesting analysis actually, about occultists and the word magic, thanks.
Yeah, that's possible too. Some of them really are evil at least.
Theater of absurd indeed.
