By this point, most people have probably heard of Antifa. They often show up at conservative events as your “counterprotesters.” They often turn the events violent. And they also tend to be the agitators in popular movements like Black Lives Matter. Many talking heads on the left say the group isn’t really a group. They say it’s an idea. Not really organized. But on the other side of the aisle, many who have investigated Antifa note that it’s a large network of organizations from Rose City Antifa, to the John Brown Gun Club. And the Trump administration says they’re terrorists. So what really is Antifa?
Are antidepressants causing violent behavior? Suicidal tendencies? Sexual dysfunction? Emotional numbness? Well, if you’ve been watching online reels recently, you may have heard this. Testimonies. People sharing their experiences. Industry manipulation. And this relates to a new campaign from the Department of Health and Human Services, where Secretary RFK Jr. is saying some antidepressants—including many that have become incredibly common—could soon face restrictions.
The amount of fraud being found in the United States is staggering. And this isn’t just a problem of crime. It’s a problem so severe that it may be achieving – whether intentionally or not – a strategy to destabilize the country. To intentionally drain its resources. And to eventually force changes that Americans would otherwise never accept. I’m of course talking about the Cloward-Piven strategy. And if you aren’t familiar with that, then get ready. Because this could explain many of the problems we’re watching unfold.
Do you remember when you’d walk into school in the morning and everyone had watched the same new episode of The Simpsons? When the latest movie was the only thing people talked about at work? When MTV played the same bands. When Dave Chappelle dropped a skit, and the entire country was quoting it the next morning? We played the same games. We knew the same sports. We laughed at the same jokes. We had a common sense of humor. And a common idea about the world. And then... it just went away. What if the new trend, is that trends no longer exist? What if the defining feature of the new world is the lack of commonality? A world where we have less and less in common with those around us. Communities of strangers.
The Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, is in a panic. Top generals of the regime are being purged under the banner of anti-corruption. Weapons systems that were paraded around the world as “U.S. killers” have failed embarrassingly in actual combat. The twin pillars of China’s economy—real estate and manufacturing—are in free fall. New laws are being rushed through to stop Western companies from leaving. And the multi-year war plan the CCP developed over the last decade to trap America in multiple simultaneous crises—before the regime launched its own conquest—that plan was just shredded in the streets of Venezuela and the deserts of Iran.
Imagine a world where political prisons no longer exist. Abusive regimes no longer need frozen gulags. Re-education through labor is a far-off memory. But tyranny isn’t gone. It’s pervasive. Everywhere. Mass surveillance keeps tabs, from roadside cameras, to online trackers, to the phone in your pocket. You hesitate saying what you think, even if it’s true. You weigh your actions based on social trends. What you risk by stepping out of line is that the system itself – society as we know it – will just lock you out. You can’t work because you can’t get paid. You can’t rent a home because you can’t digitize the payments. You can’t buy food because cash isn’t accepted, and you have no bank account. You might say you don’t believe in sci-fi dystopias like this. But you better start believing. Because this reality is already here.
Therapy has gone from being a stigma to becoming a social norm. COVID-19 is partly the cause of this. All that paranoia and isolation. That social experiment where we all journeyed into the cave. Around 13 percent of adults have sought therapy. And in some ways it’s never been better. We have tele-health from the comfort of our homes. Online therapy groups. And just about every flavor of self-help imaginable. In a lot of ways, it’s a good thing. Society is reflecting. But some argue this may also represent a different trend – that maybe we’re becoming so used to digging up past harms that we’re re-living old traumas again and again.
Kids who never learned to read are graduating from high school. Illiterate students are heading off to college. And, while facing criticisms of failing American kids, the Department of Education is being folded. Authority on public schools is shifting back to the states.All of this is stirring a new debate. Where did public schools go wrong? How can they be fixed?But an even bigger issue hangs overhead: What if the foundation of the public school system was meant to fail in the first place?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
