Much as I concur with Eddy's rule (under your context given), it didn't hold from 2020 onwards; in fact it flipped to the opposite. Here's why I say that: nearly no one had a close friend or relative rushed to hospital for a hitherto unknown deadly killer disease (save for the tv soap opera theatrics playing 24/7 throughout the nation, and a "friend of a friend of a friend"). No one was dropping dead in the streets. So one would normally have thought to themselves; "What pandemic?" and "Our hospitals are emptied" and suchlike. But no, governments everywhere took actions light years out of proportion to what normal observers could see with their own eyes, ears and common sense. And 90 % of those "normal observers" fell in line with the psychopathic regime. Which serves to endorse your thesis Josh that we're living in a Cluster B-captured world. Not normal by any stretch.
Quite so. The rule breaks down in a situation of mass hysteria. It also breaks down if you're in a community where pathology or evil is the norm.
Lots of Anglo-American law is based on the "reasonable person" standard. Unfortunately that can be hacked if you can warp what people consider "reasonable".
It's so interesting you mentioned that, because just the other day I remarked (maybe in a comment to one of Josh's posts?) that we never hear the saying "reasonable minds may differ" anymore. Instead, when you disagree with the left, you are vilified, called a hater, misogynist, etc., and it goes without saying your viewpoint is wrong.
May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace.
Good video. Our local community is being destroyed because 'money is speech' Soros prosecutors want destruction of Western society.
I lived in Burlington, and sill close, and know a policeman that expresses frustration with what they are forced to do or prevented from doing.
Love that first store!
But I ran into problems at a local-owned coffee-shop that hired a majority sexually confused employees and I would bring homeless in to get a coffee in winter and one day they refused to serve me because in my political writing, in my journalling on-line that I was anti-feminist, and owner I talked with - she was okay with me not being served.
The women interviewed is typical male-hating feminists. She saves some women ODing with Narcan and then the women wakes and complains that she will have to do another 'trick' (Prostatute herself) to get the high that women saved her from, and the male-hating Fem older women says 'You know what that means? Some man will take advantage of her' as if the drugged-women did not consent and not responsible.
Burlington VT and areas around are filled with delusional psycho male-hating Witches, And I have been victimized by many of them - crimes women can do that have no system acceptable punishment or Just response allowed.
I also ask people to look at a person like this, as a cancer cell. I then say, "is there ever just a one off cancer cell or are there always more than one?"
The prevalence of these types is evident all around us today. To explain that away with a "one off" excuse, is a costly mistake.
A question, that I will try and ask as coherently as possible, but no promises: Do you think it's possible to create these types, from non psychopathic or narcissistic people? Or is it, that there has to be an underlying predisposition or predilection?
I understand there is no canned answer, because humans are complex beings, but I wonder if steeped in the craziness and mania long enough, is there a irreversible mental and emotional mutation or schism.
What brought this question to mind was the level of psychotic behavior (I'm sure I've just misused that term) in these leftist activists, radicals and foot soldiers. To say many are unhinged when in the throws of channeling their inner Bezerkers, is an understatement. However, the other who are the non-violent militants (the manly trannys, nude participants in pride parades, the abortion booster clubs, the CRT cabal and others are wading through pools of ultra extremist ideology and behaviors, that must strip away, any normalcy, empathy, affect and moral guardrails, for the cognitive dissonance to exist.
We live in the strangest of times. Medieval like ideas infused by technology. Right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. Evil becomes good. At some point you preserve your own sanity and shut out the nonsense or mock it mercilessly.
I've been so tired lately that I keep misreading words (creating grimmer, but also true, meanings -- the things one would hate to publicly admit to thinking). What I just read initially: "Medieval like ideas infused by theology." Well, I *am* dealing in a heavy way right now with what it means to be surrounded by neighbors who believe that I and everyone like me are all headed for "The Eternal Barbecue" (because their deity, the god of Love, is that hateful). Both Josh and you are right and have helped provide some clarity this afternoon. Appreciate both of you.
May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace.
I must object to the Framing of this Godless insane Satanic unTrue, unJust, disOrdered world as 'Medievil like ideas', that such framing is programed into us by the powerful society genocidal pushing families we rarely know the names of.
Those with Clarity of today's powerful mind-controlling systems will note that history is being re-written while we live it. Jan 6th as insurrection, Oct 7th as unJust response to innocent people filled with rape, murder, cooked babies, beheaded-babies, etc. when it all debunked but yet corp-media and gov, others repeat the lies, and our grandchildren will learn from 'history' that all those lies were what happened.
Same happened with medieval period where all serfs living under Catholic limiting Monarchy and system were much better off with more protections, more days off from work spent with family, etc. than we have today. A much better place to live if one disregards the technology, medical, and similar systems. I would swap in such a ruling class that is guided and limited by Traditional Catholic Church - over this slide into hell we live now.
And I believe all Orthodox religious would support same point-of-view given their societies designed - or under a Catholic Monarchy if they do not break social and Natural Laws, that the Catholic Church allowed other religions over the conflicts and wars seen after the Protestant Revolutions and the horror that resulted and we still suffering from.
Traditional Catholicism is very Theologically sound and focused on God and You, allowing freedoms and sanity justified by rational doctrines. Not this Hell where mothers hire Witches to kill our babies, and Boys can be Girls and Girls be Boys, False-Witnessing and other social destroying crimes are unpunished(able).
Rabbi Karpov, Ph.D. must be surrounded by twisted Protestants so far removed from Traditional Catholicism to express such impressions, that he may be religiously knowledgeable in his sec. of Judaism yet either so ignorant of Christianity's basics, or like so many ethnic and religious anti-Christians are, willing to knowingly lie and False-Witness as to be a tool of Western Christian-values based society destruction and white Christian-value raised genocider.
Our Christian God is the same that the Jews in Jesus time worshiped, the God of Love, Mercy, Charity, and Justice. Those that 'Burn' do so when Justice demands it, when His Love is rejected, His Charity and Mercy used up. Today you and I have been Mercifully been allowed the time to grow closer .. how did we use it?
I reject sympathy and expressions of self-hate, of assumptions of victim status for those so forward as to express a want of us on knees, like those that assume Western Culture was wrong in Lovingly bringing all the good aspects to rest of world on the demonic commands of such, using Falseness, manipulation, and ignorance as tools.
I have had close contact and welcomed learning of local orthodox Jewish community where a Loving God is Called throughout day to share in life with them in traditions and rituals, and I have suffered disOrdering twisted ethnic unreligious Jews that would mind-rape as discussed in this article, and those in between, and wonder with me which I would prefer as neighbors and friends.
Reading the story linked below immediately brought to mind a lot of the things you've been talking about recently in regards to female Cluster B behaviour. There certainly seems to be more and more stories like this popping up.
Similar question to the one above: what about people that you have known for many years, maybe even your whole life (in the case of relatives) who have previously behaved like normal people and then start behaving like the 10%? Is it possible to become cluster B later in life if you didn’t start that way? Or were they always this way and I just didn’t know because it wasn’t directed at me? Or did the pandemic break people who used to be normal?
I think the pandemic broke a lot of people who had never been tested before. They were mostly "normal", but they were never put in the position they were. You could say they were weak - but it's a given that a lot of people will choose safety. Better believe the purveyors of the covid debacle have a playbook on the psychology of manipulation and brainwashing and deployed the techniques masterfully; and that manipulation, nudging, and brainwashing was there before covid and is still going full tilt. Covid was tptb's first real mass deployment of all the handy tech tools they now have at their disposal. Our citizenry for years have been nudged into devaluing the Solzhenitsyns - the Snowdens and Assanges. Just look how the political parties have flipped - all manipulated by the men behind the curtain.
Trump almost had his head blown off and instead of cowering and cringing and ducking his way to safety, he asks for his shoe, struggles up out of the dog pile, raises a fist and yells "Fight! Fight! Fight!" He was tested. He responded. The "fight" responders to covid were very effectively silenced at first because The Rot has control of most of mainstream communication and initially controlled that narrative. Critical thinking doesn't really exist at population level so it is pretty much impossible to change the mindset of those who were so effectively manipulated. Confirmation bias and continued psychological warfare keep large masses of people compliant, willing flying monkeys who honestly believe they are right, are morally better, and care more than those who question.
.. or as my model of reality point to - those few powerful-families that hate us and want us all suffering till dead - those who you do not know names of but own and control Fed.Reserve, Off-shore tax-free clubs that direct-control wealthy material Classes, major corporations, Institutions, Western and other gov.s - those that direct this Hell.
Those families who if known and all adults of maturity were Justly removed from power and influence - all our lives and futures could return to sanity, Order, love, Joy, Life.
You know, I'm so used to people trying to "get" a person--undercut them, call them dumb, distract from their point, try to "best" them without reading for comprehension---that I just assume that's the motivation. I over-assume. I'm sorry.
May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace.
Although not the intent of The Radical Individualist, I understand those that require through interruption and assuming bad faith in others - that they are much like those that require different pronouns, and often use such assumption of bad faith as to disregard you and so your point.
By the time you wrote all disclaimers 'not all' Jews, Blacks, Chinese, Poor, Wealthy, .. that they require, you have lost audience and perhaps yourself & point.
This is my sister. Her behavior is so awful my brother and I cut her out of our lives. All of the extended family have too. My mother's wish upon wishes is that my brother and I "put aside our differences" and have a relationship with her again, but we have no intention of climbing back into that snake pit.
Short and sharp. This is a great coaching strategy to penetrate the deeply held construct that one needs to see the good in everyone (to be a good person) at the expense of their wellbeing.
I wonder if I'd have been clocked as a disordered personality during the (~17) years before I learned that my glucose fluctuations were literally making me crazy. I freaked out on people because I was sure they'd taken action against me (they hadn't). I lashed out like any Cluster B -- way over-the-top reactions over things that I barely register now.
Even so, I wouldn't blame someone for writing me off back then. There wasn't anything they could do for me. Had they been kindly it wouldn't have overridden the fury of my glucose-deprived brain. I desperately wanted someone to Just Listen, and yet I couldn't really articulate what was happening to me except that it was a vortex of rage and despair. Their listening might not have made much of a difference.
That said, I doubt many Cluster B behaviors in others are caused by medical issues. A few are -- I heard about a man who exploded regularly at his family, then was mortified afterwards, and it turned out to be medical -- but most can't be helped by diet or meds. And if anyone at the time had told me I just needed to lay off sugar and carbs, I'd have reacted badly. (It was something I had to figure out myself.)
Josh is right: walk away. Disentangle yourself somehow.
If there's a medical problem, they'll have to figure it out themselves -- there's nothing you can do.
If people do not first respect you, it is impossible for them to like or love you.
Without respect every gesture of affection is ultimately about them and not you. I don't know about anyone else but that sort of "affection" I'm happier not having.
Focus on being respected. The rest will happen in due time.
That may be a component to our orthogonal universe. My idiot friends and family thought I was a sociopath because 90% of the people they knew got the jab.
May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace.
This is a good rule of thumb but should be limited by prudence.
That is, that since we have a Matriarchal male-disposing disOrdered unJust unTruth based society where insanity is accepted and every man that Stands against some aspect risks being mobbed by canceling life destroying packs of rabid-dog like women, media, gov, institutions target, censorship and arrest is risked, where corp can refuse you services, etc., ..
.. that descent of accepted 'norms' should not be considered in this 90-10 rule.
For examples;
- Those that question the irrational claim of 6 millions killed in Europe in WWII, when before-after population figures and other metrics cast doubt. Where it is illegal in some places to even question.
- Those that object to the insanity accepted by West that mother on a whim can kill our children, or mind-body mutilate or sterilize children, etc.
Plenty more examples where our great grandparents would think what is accepted today by 90-10 back then is insane now, when it is reversed. Are we not more damaged and retarded then them? Did they allow and accept endless wars and spending and borrowing to such relative levels for evil, horror, suffering, genocide, death, and hell that results?
This is very succinct and helpful!
As for that 10%, I’ve found my only real option is not to engage at all. Walk away, no eye contact or comment.

Just remember that something that 90% of the people would do in one culture can be something that only 10% would do in another culture.
Very obviously I am assuming we all live in the same culture for the purposes of this. I swear, as surprising as it is, that I'm not stupid.
No need to convince me. Your observations show insight and logic. Now, STOP that!
You know, I'm so used to people trying to "get" a person--undercut them, call them dumb, distract from their point, try to "best" them without reading for comprehension---that I just assume that's the motivation. I over-assume. I'm sorry.
