Myth: “Gun Culture” Equals “Gun Violence”, Their Words Not Ours

Opinion

New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Deep State propagandists’ success to date propagating falsehoods about a pervasive American “GUN CULTURE” and concomitantly an uncontrolled wave of “GUN VIOLENCE,” plaguing the Country, leading to a sense of profound hopelessness in the psyche of Americans, is no accident. It is all part and parcel of an intricate, well-designed, well-coordinated, well-executed and lengthy campaign to weaken the Nation’s heretofore historically strong spirit, will, intellect, and emotional toughness.

The Neo-Marxists and Neoliberal Globalists know that it is impossible to induce Americans to accept a completely alien and inherently outrageous vision of the world—one requiring the immolation of the American psyche and the dissolution of a sovereign, independent Nation-State, and sovereign American people—unless they first severely weaken the American psyche.

Apart from a few Americans who have a peculiar predilection toward acceptance of the tenets, precepts, and principles of Collectivism, which eschews the sanctity and inviolability of the Human Soul, the vast majority of Americans would have long ago forsworn Neo-Marxism had not the seditious legacy Press and assorted propaganda arms of social media and internet effectively controlled the dissemination of news and information. But, broad swathes of the population don’t realize the danger

The Press, both private and public media outlets, assiduously mask the aims and actions of these vicious, virulent, vile Deep State Globalist forces with massive, well-orchestrated campaigns of disinformation, misinformation, fluff, and pablum, while blanketing the Nation with a complete blackout of authentic, elucidative information.

Hence, the American public must dig hard and deep to obtain the truth, upon which the public may draw informative inferences concerning the direction that the present Government is taking the Country.

That so many Americans have no inkling of the deception played upon them by those servants of Government, it is understandable. That many Americans would have accepted the false projection playing out in front of them, and would become ever more the passive, apathetic observer of the nonsense so projected out to them. Even so, it is wondrous strange that so many members of the public appear increasingly susceptible to the most outrageous, outlandish, ludicrous ideas and thought-forms imposed on their psyche—ridiculous even by the standards of Neo-Marxism itself.

This says much of the propagandists’ success in inflicting mass psychosis on the target population.

Many Americans—most, unfortunately—have dealt with the sheer idiocy of the word salads and viral memes floating through the newspapers and internet and airwaves by blotting much of it out. Many have seemingly mastered, if half-consciously, a form of self-hypnosis, inducing a state of mental and emotional stupor; a kind of waking somnolence.

But whether internalizing the nonsense spouted by propagandists, accepting it as gospel, or filtering it out—by “spacing out”—either way is fine for the Spoilers of our Nation; for, either way, the puppet-masters accomplish their aims.

Either way—an inattentive audience or one rapt by the garbage foisted on them—that American audience becomes a compliant, docile, mute flock of sheep.

Americans either become acolytes of the new nonsense dogma, thereby looking forward to the realization of the nightmare Dystopia, or become resigned to it, having lost all will and vigor to resist the actualization of it.

The truth is inescapable but the implacable horror of the future prospects for our Nation is so terrifying that most Americans won’t acknowledge it to themselves or breathe a word of it to others, even as some dim portion of their intellect compels them to accept the hard, cold, disturbing fact of it.

Thus, Americans engage in psychopathological self-denial. And these are some of the signs of that malaise of Spirit, directed inward upon themselves:

• Changes in eating habits
• Changes in mood
• Excessive worry, anxiety, or fear
• Feelings of distress
• Inability to concentrate
• Irritability or anger
• Low energy or feelings of fatigue
• Sleep disruptions
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
• Trouble coping with daily life
• Withdrawal from activities and friends

See article in Very Well Mind. To that, we might add the pathological suspicion of friends, family, and business associates, and worst of all, fear and suspicion over one’s own motives—doubt concerning one’s own abilities and the inviolability of one’s sacred Self.

As masters of psychological conditioning and brainwashing, the Globalist’s psychologists and psychiatrists have manipulated the public so thoroughly that many members of the public fail to think clearly and carefully through the implausibility of the nonsense continuously blasted out in the newspapers, on the cellphones, and over the airwaves at them. They simply fail to see what is in plain sight: the horrific monster looming in front, behind, and all around them.

The propagandists blare out and emphasize, ad nauseam, the false idea that our Nation is immoral; ergo, the citizenry’s psyche is irremediably damaged, and that the only remedy for an immoral Nation and a damaged psyche is radical surgery: destroy the Nation, and lobotomize the psyche. But, the irony is that the citizenry’s psyche was not/is not damaged but for the actions of the propagandists who would make it so.

“Gun Culture” Equals “Gun Violence”, Their Words Not Ours

The cause of the Nation’s woes, Americans are told is this thing that the forces that crush refer to as a “Gun Culture” that permeates through the length, and depth, and breadth of the County, and that manifests in a plague of “Gun Violence” that has taken over the Country—and so the lackeys of the seditious legacy Press tells us.

But this is all a fabrication, yet one carefully cultivated and nurtured. The Nation does not have a ‘Gun Culture’ and never did. It is error to think we do.

What Is The Definition Of ‘Culture’?

The word, ‘Culture,’ is not an easy word to grasp even as the propagandists pretend that it is—all in an attempt to confuse the public; to keep the public off-balance.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines ‘Culture,’ as,

‘the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time.’

Expanding on that, the website, Thought Company, explains the word this way:

“Culture is a term that refers to a large and diverse set of mostly intangible aspects of social life. According to sociologists, culture consists of the values, beliefs, systems of language, communication, and practices that people share in common and that can be used to define them as a collective. Culture also includes the material objects that are common to that group or society. Culture is distinct from social structure and economic aspects of society, but it is connected to them—both continuously informing them and being informed by them.

Culture is one of the most important concepts within sociology because sociologists recognize that it plays a crucial role in our social lives. It is important for shaping social relationships, maintaining and challenging social order, determining how we make sense of the world and our place in it, and in shaping our everyday actions and experiences in society. It is composed of both non-material and material things.”

If that definition isn’t confusing, consider, this description of the word from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

“The meaning of the term ‘culture’ has been highly contested, especially within anthropology. . . . The first highly influential definition came from Edward Tylor (1871, 1), who opens his seminal anthropology text with the stipulation that culture is, ‘that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.’ Subsequent authors have worried that Tylor’s definition packs in too much, lumping together psychological items (e.g., belief) with external items (e.g., art). From a philosophical perspective, this would be especially problematic for those who hope that culture could be characterized as a natural kind, and thus as a proper subject for scientific inquiry. Other definitions often try to choose between the external and internal options in Tylor’s definition.

On the external side, anthropologists have focused on both artifacts and behaviors. Herskovits (1948, 17) tells us that, ‘Culture is the man-made part of the environment,” and Meade (1953, 22) says culture “is the total shared, learned behavior of a society or a subgroup.’ These dimensions are combined in Malinowski’s (1931, 623) formulation: ‘Culture is a well organized unity divided into two fundamental aspects—a body of artifacts and a system of customs.’ ”

‘Culture,’ is often tied to ‘Heritage.’ But that raises a host of questions. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy goes on to say:

“Do members of cultural groups have special claims to own or control the products of the cultures to which they belong? Is there something morally wrong with employing artistic styles that are distinctive of a culture to which you do not belong? What is the relationship between cultural heritage and group identity? Is there a coherent and morally acceptable sense of cultural group membership in the first place? Is there a universal human heritage to which everyone has a claim?”

The more elaborate and comprehensive the definition, the more inscrutable it becomes.

But the Nation’s Spoilers don’t thrust words and phrases onto the public to edify and enlighten Americans but to control and hurt them.

The Nation’s Spoilers like to control the public by tugging on the public’s emotional strings, not by appealing to the public’s higher mental and judgmental faculties. And, they have become exceptionally good at it.
