      Astute presentation however missing a critical component in the fight vs fascism. Behind totalitarian take-overs is satan. It is a spiritual battle manifesting in the physical world. Once people realize this, society can overcome and heal.

      @@mollymagpie5965 Humans contain both "satanic" tendencies and "godly" tendencies. That is where the 'spiritual battle' exists... inside ourselves. This is not some hocus pocus magical thing that exists outside our own human nature. Once religious people realize this, we can at least acknowledge who we are and deal realistically with ourselves and issues, and maybe eventually overcome and heal for real.

      Becoming an individual is important first before joining someone else's idea of a parallel society/dissident movement, sounds like any other group or mob of followers. Seems like AOI doesn't care about individuation anymore just playing on ur fear to get u to join the nearest mob that opposes the "status quo". The end of the vid is slightly more logical, but failed to get the emphasis on the individual right. People have to do this on their own first, becoming an individual is being cognitively dissonant today, people who think for themselves being insulted for doing so is proof of this. All of AOI's vids lately are the same stuff over and over, I guess I misjudged this channel.

    As an Iranian who has been living under the Islamic republic's dictatorship and has lived and experienced the kind of tyranny described in this video, I can relate to every single word of it. I lived and studied abroad for more than 10 years but I could not bring myself to be an exiled dissident. I decided to come back home and do whatever I can, no matter how small, to make things better. Even now I need to use a VPN to be able to log into youtube as it is banned by the regime but I'm glad I'm challenging the system every single day. I try to enlighten my colleagues who have never lived outside the country and work hard in my position to change things for better.

    2. Drop most social media, limit what you do use.
    3. Stop living in fear of everything. The fear of being unsafe, the fear of opposing ideas, the fear that the world is ending, ect.
    4. Accept your obligations and responsibilities and fulfill them.

      This will change nothing and none of the solutions described in this video will work. The biggest mistake one can make is to abandon the idea of using violence as a possibility of countering totalitarian regime. Building parallel society ? It will never work in our case and it doesn't matter if this parallel society is within or outside of the totalitarian regime. If you understand what the enemy is doing, what their goals are, the scope of their narrative, then you will understand that they will simply not allow for any kind of dissent or parallel society to exist. Once they get sufficient control within their system, the mask will fall and you will see true face of the regime, which will simply aim to purge "heretics" & "diseased" from existence for refusal to be part of the system. What will save us ? Two things. People need to realize what it means to be human and what homo sapiens are as a species. If that is achieved, people will need courage to wage an open war against the enemy.

Citizens were being encouraged to snitch on each other. People's lives and careers were being ruined. People suing, and winning, stopped this.

It happens a little bit at a time then all of a sudden all at once. It’s the moment of realization of what they did that makes it seem like it was all at once.

A successful modern tyrant never presents himself as the thing to be afraid of... Everything to be feared with which you terrorize your peasants must be presented as some outside evil which only you can save them from. One recalls, 'The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.' - Edward Bernays, father of modern media.
      "You must present them with the simple choice between obedience to you and the threat of some unpleasant happening, which does not appear to be of your doing and which you pretend to LAMENT the existence of. A simple example would be making up a plague of some sort, assuring people that millions are doomed to die and then claiming that giving you a lot of money and control is the only hope of averting disaster. Or you can pick up a real disease, grossly exaggerate the risks it poses to the peasants, whip them into a frenzy and then present yourself as their only hope for salvation, which of course, would require you to be given much wealth and power.

      It's not so much irony as oxymoron and it reveals that law and violence are indiscernible. The 'state of nature' (also oxymoron), the struggle of all against all (homo homini lupus), is not something that precedes society, it is the hidden core of the state that reveals itself when the state falls apart (the dissolutio civitate). The primordial political act is not a social contract or treaty that governs the transition from 'state-of-nature' to society. It is a much more complex zone where the state is always already pseudo-nature and nature always already appears as nomos ('natural law') and state of exception.

And more. Lockdowns are only put in place to destroy middle class and non corporate bussinesses. And to answear your last question - 3 countries on the planet did not implement lockdown measures and did not implement mask mandates and vaccines - these countries were Haiti, Tanzania and Burundi; all presidents of these countries were murdered.

    Stand strong everyone, stand for what you believe in and be prepared to lose everything. Its a blessing and a curse to live in times of turmoil and great change... a good lotr quote i remember is:
    “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

    Regarding building a parallel society, it has to be said that history has shown that the state will not stand idly by, and will infiltrate and ruthlessly destroy such parallel structures, because they are such an existential threat to authority.

      Exactly. Lincoln sure didn't enjoy the idea of losing a lot of revenue when the South wanted to leave. Ohhh wait... Lincoln was a Saint and only cared about the poor slaves. He certainly didn't jail northerners for saying violence on the South was wrong. He definitely didn't shut down the press of anyone that didn't agree with him 100% in the North. And the North certainly didn't have slaves.

    I live parallel to society. I pick and choose that which I value from society and incorporate it, i.e., select technology. I spend time in the desert with my dog. Family and friends are my priorities. I recognize that which I can influence and that which is beyond my influence. I assist in my community to help others. I do not expect others to try to act nobly. I remember an adage from my youth: Think globally and act locally. It sounds corny; but, it does work. I am not woke and part of society's horse poop. I am woke to the possibility of how I can make small changes within the world around me and what it may mean to others.

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

      Yes we are taught it in school from a young age with slogans like, "Don't sink down to his level" and "don't waste all your energy on anger". They teach you if you are nice and passive people will respect you. I never understood any of it and have always rejected that shit and found it absurd. I've never burnt myself out being angry , on the contrary, it has been my motivation to be successful in life. People only understand violence. And, deep down, nobody likes a coward. Pacivity is just cowardess.

      But this time their advice is not only bad but also dangerous. None of the solutions described in this video will work. The biggest mistake one can make is to abandon the idea of using violence as a possibility of countering totalitarian regime. Building parallel society ? It will never work in our case and it doesn't matter if this parallel society is within or outside of the totalitarian regime. If you understand what the enemy is doing, what their goals are, the scope of their narrative, then you will understand that they will simply not allow for any kind of dissent or parallel society to exist. Once they get sufficient control within their system, the mask will fall and you will see true face of the regime, which will simply aim to purge "heretics" & "diseased" from existence for refusal to be part of the system. What will save us ? Two things. People need to realize what it means to be human and what homo sapiens are as a species. If that is achieved, people will need courage to wage an open war against the enemy.

    One parallel society I’d like to see are more homeschooled kids. Unschooling would be ideal. Homeschooling by emotionally mature parents offers freedoms you don’t get in school. Freedom to move at your own pace. Freedom to challenge assumptions. Having that daily freedom would make it harder for future Totalitarians to push them around.

      There are already schools that ultimately serve the purpose you suggest. When kids are tested as adults, they are all life-long learners, self-confident, most are business owners, and the list goes on. It' rather like they are a different species. Theyb do as well as or better than anyone other public school grad when it comes to SATs, when (IF) the students decide to take them. These are called "Democracy Schools". A famous one is in Sudbury, Mass. There as one in my little neck of the woods until George W. Bush came along with "No child left behind". Because the school did not focus on testing, it lost its funding and closed - explaining in part what is so wrong with S. C.

      Not the right answer, for mine. Yes, schools do indoctrinate kids into slave morality, but a strong and playful parenting style would offer kids an alternative (and more robust) perspective on how to take on life with gusto and courage. Shielding people from the harshness of the world (safe spaces) is the antithesis of producing inurement, persistence and inner strength.
