At least for white men, who are the bad guys in the story. You can get some people, mostly natural status-whores into the plan, and you can get most people to say they love progressivism, and to not actively oppose it.īut getting people to pumped up in a high-pressure ritual to actually develop faith in the program that can’t be very easy. But getting people to love black people, who they actively avoid in their daily lives, to hate their own ethnic group, to hate straight men, to love fags, trannies, sluts and fatties well that’s too much shit to take even for homo hypocritus. Worshipping a powerful man as a god has been quite common through history, and eventually morphing the old man’s image into a lucky charm to be put as paperwall to repel bad spirits is fairly standard in a cognitive sense. Cults of personality are, if crazy, still quite natural given man’s religious nature.
Liberals understand the demand, and have come up with mandatory Sensitivity Training in all government agencies and private companies but they aren’t intense enough yet, and they patently haven’t succeeded in creating sufficient amounts of sincere belief which drives liberals to denounce all the lukewarm Maoists who still don’t love blacks and trannies from the bottom of their heart. It does seem that the demand for effective progressive rituals isn’t being properly addressed, though. You can create a very high-pressure environment, and thus a faster moving leftist singularity without having to kill anyone. The threat of losing one’s job is more than enough to get people motivated to toe the progressive line. And the higher the pressure of people to approve of present progressive tenets, the faster that newer, more radical tenets appear, and the more this happens the more demand it creates of rituals to convince people of the holiness of progressive ideals. Failure to signal your approval for any of these developments will get you fired. Progressivism has been accelerating of late, all with global warming melting the poles every day now, women being able to accuse ex-boyfriends of rape months after the fact and without evidence, and the right of 60 year old ex-athletes to use the women’s bathroom being state policy. Now that we have a detailed account of how it started, how it accelerated and how it exploded into complete madness let us go back to the present, and take a good look. Then, after the Communist Party leadership sent Mao off to think about culture rather than economics, he returned in 1965 with the Cultural Revolution.Ī key to the Cult of Personality was the high-pressure “struggle session” in which true believers browbeat doubters and whip the uncommitted up into a frenzy.Īnd this is the story of the great Chinese Leftist Singularity. Spandrell reviews the mechanics of how Mao’s Cult of Personality emerged twice, once in later 1950s China, which led to the Great Leap Forward, backyard steel furnaces, the collectivization of agriculture, and 30 million starving to death.
