My idealism was shattered thanks to my abusive ex (an ugly story, very dramatic, I found myself suddenly without rights in a very scary situation). All ended well. But I was no longer an idealist in that sense.
I think I grew up as a sceptic and cemented that view through the many, many times I’ve been suckered from strangers and those close to me plus the personal traumatic out of the norm life events. Ex included.
As a psych I used the Shattered Assumptions Theory to assist clients with complex PTSD. Note as a Counselling psych I too HAD to have years of psychoanalysis and continual supervision. (Hence why I’m so surprised if the story is true of Desmet. Where was his supervisor?)
The blessing or curse depending on your stance of Covid is that it shattered our assumptions of the world. Evil truly exists and now that we are no longer blinded by the spiels, the awake are able to see that much of what we believed of the world were fabricated narratives.
It’s a tough journey to accept reality as it really is. But the question we should ask ourselves is: Do we really want the old normal of mass delusions? As for seeing conspiracies everywhere, that might be accurate, however as hyper vigilance is part of Restructuring our world, eventually only the wheat remains.
FYI “Shattered assumptions theory
In social (? Hmm No. also personal belief structures) psychology, shattered assumptions theory proposes that experiencing traumatic events can change how victims and survivors view themselves and the world. Specifically, the theory – developed by Ronnie Janoff-Bulman in 1992 – concerns the effect that negative events have on three inherent assumptions: overall benevolence of the world, meaningfulness of the world, and self worth. These fundamental beliefs are the bedrock of our conceptual system and are the assumptions we are least aware of and least likely to challenge. They constitute our "assumptive world," defined as "a strongly held set of assumptions about the world and the self which is confidently maintained and used as a means of recognizing, planning, and acting" by C. M. Parkes. According to Janoff-Bulman, traumatic life events shatter these core assumptions, and coping involves rebuilding a viable assumptive world“ Wikipedia
I was lucky, I grew up with a mother who'd escaped Nazi Germany, who had no faith in politicians and who sneered at all advertising with the words..."Argh, they're just trying to sell you stuff with their lies"...so I was sort of forewarned...but that knowledge didn't stop me getting a nasty shock these last couple of years as to exactly how low so many people are willing to go to try to achieve their desired ends...which of course, they will not be allowed to do!!!
I think you need to recognise the compartmentalism of information , relating to those who implement the means towards the ultimate (disguised) objectives. They can't/ won't see the bigger picture and (those above them are compromised = controlled)
I don't think the principles and drivrrs of what we're seeing here is fundamentally different from anything else in history, only the scale and complexity of it is, given the advance of technology.
Also, important is the question "why now?" What precipitated this state change and ultimately who benefits and why? I don't think it's just money and power; they have that already that's for the ranks I think it's to avoid a situation which is a threat to the controlling entities; be that via population control.c.f resources / oil, or loss of power through growing financial independence of vassals etc
Yes! And think they're getting rather scared...they wanted more people to satisfy the maniacal need for more and more sales and money, but now they've got so many people they don't know what to do with them, and to cap it all some aren't so manageable, one should get rid of them fast...trouble with that kind of careless action is one make mistakes, big mistakes. And boy are we seeing them.
Has it not derailed your schema of the world too? It has done to me.
The world is not a good place.
Politicians are not just greedy but evil psychopaths.
History taught is mostly lies created by propagandists.
And the world is ruled by the super Rich GloboCap that are evil and devious
That good does not follow good.
Once I began uncovering Soros’ reach into UK and then EU governance that’s when my nativity was displaced. Brexit woke me up.
FYI his childhood story is not kosher.
