The final phase of its transformation of society into a pathologized-totalitarian dystopia, where mandatory genetic-therapy injections and digital compliance papers are commonplace, is now officially underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n On November 19, 2021, the government of New Normal Austria decreed that, as of February,\u00a0experimental mRNA injections will be mandatory for the entire population<\/a>. This decree comes in the midst of\u00a0Austria\u2019s official persecution of \u201cthe Unvaccinated,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0i.e., political dissidents and other persons of conscience who refuse to convert to the new official ideology and submit to a series of mRNA injections, purportedly to combat\u00a0a virus that causes mild-to-moderate flu-like symptoms (or no symptoms of any kind at all) in about 95% of the infected<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the overall infection fatality rate of which is approximately 0.1% to 0.5%<\/a>.<\/p>\n Austria is just the tip of the New Normal spear.\u00a0<\/strong>Prominent New-Normal fascists in Germany, like\u00a0Der F\u00fchrer of Bavaria, Markus S\u00f6der<\/a>, and\u00a0Minister of Propaganda Karl Lauterbach<\/a>, are already calling for an\u00a0allgemeine Impfpflicht<\/em>\u00a0(i.e., \u201ccompulsory vaccination requirement\u201d), which should not come as a surprise to anyone. The Germans are not going sit idly by and let the Austrians publicly out-fascist them, are they? They have a reputation to uphold, after all! Italy will probably be next to join in, unless\u00a0Lithuania<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Australia<\/a>\u00a0beats them to the punch.<\/p>\n But, seriously, this is just the beginning of the\u00a0Winter Siege<\/a>\u00a0I wrote about recently. The plan seems to be to New-Normalize Europe first \u2014 generally speaking, Europeans are more docile, respectful of all authority, and not very well armed \u2014 and then use it as leverage to force the new pathologized totalitarianism on the USA, and the UK, and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n I do not believe this plan will succeed. In spite of the longest and most intensive propaganda campaign in the history of propaganda, there remain enough of us who steadfastly refuse to accept the \u201cNew Normal\u201d as our new reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n And a lot of us are angry, extremely angry \u2026\u00a0militantly, explosively angry<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are not \u201cvaccine hesitant\u201d or \u201canti-vax\u201d or \u201cCovid-denying conspiracy theorists.\u201d We are millions of regular working-class people, people with principles, who value freedom, who are not prepared to go gently into the globalized, pathologized-totalitarian night. We no longer give the slightest shit whether our former friends and family members who have gone New Normal understand what this is.<\/strong><\/p>\n We do.<\/p>\n We understand exactly what this is. It is a nascent form of totalitarianism, and we intend to kill it \u2014 or at least critically wound it \u2014 before it matures into a full-grown behemoth.<\/p>\n Now, I want to be absolutely clear. I am not advocating or condoning violence. But it is going to happen.\u00a0<\/strong>It is happening already. Totalitarianism (even this \u201cpathologized\u201d version of it) is imposed on society and maintained with violence. Fighting totalitarianism inevitably entails violence. It is not my preferred tactic in the current circumstances, but it is unavoidable now that we have reached this stage, and it is important that those of fighting this fight recognize that violence is a natural response to the violence (and the implicit threat of violence) that is being deployed against us by the New Normal authorities, and the masses they have whipped up into a fanatical frenzy.<\/p>\n It is also important (essential, I would argue) to make the violence of the New Normal visible, i.e., to frame this fight in political terms, and not in the pseudo-medical terms propagated by the official Covid narrative). This isn\u2019t an academic argument over the existence, severity, or the response to a virus.\u00a0This is a fight to determine the future of our societies.<\/em><\/p>\n This fact, above all, is what the global-capitalist ruling classes are determined to conceal.\u00a0<\/strong>The roll-out of the New Normal will fail if it is perceived as\u00a0political<\/em>\u00a0(i.e., a form of totalitarianism). It relies on our inability to see it as what it is. So it hides itself and the violence it perpetrates within a pseudo-medical official narrative, rendering itself immune to political opposition.<\/p>\n We need to deny it this perceptual redoubt, this hermeneutic hiding place. We need to make it show itself as what it is, a \u201cpathologized\u201d form of totalitarianism. In order to do that, we need to understand it \u2026 its internal logic, and its strengths, and weaknesses.<\/p>\n I have been describing the New Normal as \u201cpathologized totalitarianism\u201d and predicting that compulsory \u201cvaccination\u201d was coming since at least as early as May 2020. (See, e.g.,\u00a0The New Pathologized Totalitarianism<\/a>).\u00a0I use the term \u201ctotalitarianism\u201d intentionally, not for effect, but for the sake of accuracy. The New Normal is still a nascent totalitarianism, but its essence is unmistakably evident. I described that essence in\u00a0a recent column<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe essence of totalitarianism \u2014 regardless of which costumes and ideology it wears \u2014 is\u00a0a desire to completely control society, every aspect of society, every individual behavior and thought<\/em>. Every totalitarian system, whether an entire nation, a tiny cult, or any other form of social body, evolves toward this unachievable goal \u2026\u00a0the total ideological transformation and control of every single element of society\u00a0<\/em>\u2026 This fanatical pursuit of total control, absolute ideological uniformity, and the elimination of all dissent, is what makes totalitarianism totalitarianism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In October 2020, I published\u00a0The Covidian Cult<\/a><\/em>, which has since grown into a series of essays examining New-Normal (i.e., pathologized) totalitarianism as \u201ca cult writ large, on a societal scale.\u201d This analogy holds true for all forms of totalitarianism, but especially for New Normal totalitarianism, as it is\u00a0the first global form of totalitarianism\u00a0<\/em>in history, and thus:<\/p>\n \u201cThe cult\/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture,\u00a0the cult has become the dominant culture<\/em>, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In\u00a0The Covidian Cult (Part III)<\/em><\/a>, I noted:<\/p>\n \u201cIn order to oppose this new form of totalitarianism,\u00a0we need to understand how it both resembles and differs from earlier totalitarian systems<\/em>. The similarities are fairly obvious \u2014 i.e., the suspension of constitutional rights, governments ruling by decree, official propaganda, public loyalty rituals, the outlawing of political opposition, censorship, social segregation, goon squads terrorizing the public, and so on \u2014 but the differences are not as obvious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And I described how New Normal totalitarianism fundamentally differs from 20th-Century totalitarianism in terms of its ideology, or seeming lack thereof.<\/p>\n \u201cWhereas 20th-Century totalitarianism was more or less national and overtly political, New Normal totalitarianism is supranational, and its ideology is much more subtle. The New Normal is not Nazism or Stalinism. It\u2019s global-capitalist totalitarianism, and global capitalism doesn\u2019t have an ideology, technically, or, rather,\u00a0its ideology is \u2018reality\u2019<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But the most significant difference between 20th-Century totalitarianism and this nascent, global totalitarianism is how New Normal totalitarianism \u201cpathologizes\u201d its political nature, effectively rendering itself invisible, and thus immune to political opposition. Whereas 20th-Century totalitarianism wore its politics on its sleeve, New Normal totalitarianism presents itself as a non-ideological (i.e., supra-political) reaction to a global public health emergency.<\/strong><\/p>\n And, thus, its classic totalitarian features \u2014 e.g., the revocation of basic rights and freedoms, centralization of power, rule by decree, oppressive policing of the population, demonization and persecution of a \u201cscapegoat\u201d underclass, censorship, propaganda, etc. \u2014 are not hidden, because they are impossible to hide, but are\u00a0recontextualized in a pathologized official narrative<\/em>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Untermenschen\u00a0<\/em>become \u201cthe Unvaccinated.\u201d Swastika lapel pins become medical-looking masks. Aryan ID papers become \u201cvaccination passes.\u201d Irrefutably senseless social restrictions and mandatory public-obedience rituals become \u201clockdowns,\u201d \u201csocial distancing,\u201d and so on. The world is united in a Goebbelsian total war, not against an external enemy (i.e., a racial or political enemy), but against an internal, pathological enemy.<\/strong><\/p>\n This pathologized official narrative is more powerful (and insidious) than any ideology, as it functions, not as a belief system or ethos, but rather, as objective \u201creality.\u201d You cannot argue with or oppose \u201creality.\u201d \u201cReality\u201d has no political opponents. Those who challenge \u201creality\u201d are \u201cinsane,\u201d i.e., \u201cconspiracy theorists,\u201d \u201canti-vaxxers,\u201d \u201cCovid deniers,\u201d \u201cextremists,\u201d etc. And, thus, the pathologized New Normal narrative also pathologizes its political opponents, simultaneously stripping us of political legitimacy and projecting its own violence onto us.<\/p>\n 20th-Century totalitarianism also blamed its violence on its scapegoats (i.e., Jews, socialists, counter-revolutionaries, etc.) but it did not attempt to erase its violence. On the contrary, it displayed it openly, in order to terrorize the masses. New Normal totalitarianism cannot do this. It can\u2019t go openly totalitarian, because capitalism and totalitarianism are ideologically contradictory.<\/p>\n Global-capitalist ideology will not function as an official ideology in an openly totalitarian society. It requires the simulation of \u201cdemocracy,\u201d or at least a simulation of market-based \u201cfreedom.\u201d A society can be intensely authoritarian, but, to function in the global-capitalist system, it must allow its people the basic \u201cfreedom\u201d that capitalism offers to all consumers, the right\/obligation to participate in the market, to own and exchange commodities, etc.<\/p>\n This \u201cfreedom\u201d can be conditional or extremely restricted, but it must exist to some degree. Saudi Arabia and China are two examples of openly authoritarian GloboCap societies that are nevertheless not entirely totalitarian, because they can\u2019t be and remain a part of the system. Their advertised official ideologies (i.e., Islamic fundamentalism and communism) basically function as superficial overlays on the fundamental global-capitalist ideology which dictates the \u201creality\u201d in which everyone lives. These \u201coverlay\u201d ideologies are not fake, but when they come into conflict with global-capitalist ideology, guess which ideology wins.<\/p>\n The point is, New Normal totalitarianism \u2014\u00a0and any global-capitalist form of totalitarianism<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 cannot display itself as totalitarianism, or even authoritarianism. It cannot acknowledge its political nature. In order to exist, it must not exist. Above all, it must erase its violence (the violence that all politics ultimately comes down to<\/em>) and appear to us as an essentially beneficent response to a legitimate \u201cglobal health crisis\u201d (and a \u201cclimate change crisis,\u201d and a \u201cracism crisis,\u201d and whatever other \u201cglobal crises\u201d GloboCap thinks will terrorize the masses into a mindless, order-following hysteria).<\/p>\n This pathologization of totalitarianism \u2014 and the political\/ideological conflict we have been engaged in for the past 20 months \u2014 is the most significant difference between New Normal totalitarianism and 20th-Century totalitarianism.<\/strong>\u00a0The entire global-capitalist apparatus (i.e., corporations, governments, supranational entities, the corporate and state media, academia, etc.) has been put into service to achieve this objective.<\/p>\n We need to come to terms with this fact.\u00a0We\u00a0<\/em>do. Not the New Normals. Us.<\/p>\n GloboCap is on the verge of remaking society into a smiley-happy pathologized-totalitarian dystopia where they can mandate experimental genetic \u201ctherapies,\u201d and any other type of \u201ctherapies\u201d they want, and force us to show our \u201ccompliance papers\u201d to go about the most basic aspects of life. This remaking of society is\u00a0violent<\/em>. It is being carried out by force, with violence and the ever-present threat of violence. We need to face that, and act accordingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here in New Normal Germany, if you try to go grocery shopping without a medical-looking mask, armed police will remove you from the premises (and I am saying this from personal experience). In New Normal Australia, if you\u00a0go to synagogue<\/a>, the media will be alerted and the police will surround you. In Germany, Australia, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, and many other countries, if you exercise your right to assemble and protest, the police will\u00a0hose you down with water cannons<\/a>,\u00a0shoot you with rubber bullets<\/a>\u00a0(and sometimes\u00a0real bullets<\/a>),\u00a0spray toxic agents into your eyes<\/a>, and just generally\u00a0beat the crap out of you<\/a>.<\/p>\n And so on. Those of us fighting for our rights and opposing this pathologized totalitarianism are all-too familiar with the reality of its violence, and the hatred it has fomented in the New Normal masses. We experience it on a daily basis. We feel it every time we\u2019re forced to wear a mask, when some official (or waiter) demands to see our \u201cpapers.\u201d We feel it when when we are threatened by our government, when we are gaslighted and demonized by the media, by doctors, celebrities, random strangers, and by our colleagues, friends, and family members.<\/p>\n We recognize the look in their eyes. We remember where it comes from, and what it leads to.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/nazis-triumph-of-the-will-scaled-1.png?itok=9fA7Zs_K\")
