A love letter of concern to my fellow Canadians: Just how deep does our rot go?

 

A love letter of concern to my fellow Canadians: Just how deep does our rot go?  How is the decay we are witnessing related to beliefs in a toxic ideology which is built on a loathing of individual liberty and economic freedoms? How much of this is due to a collective psychological immaturity?

Let us begin by examining the Canadian economy:

I will begin with a micro view regarding the economic downturn we are in, but I certainly won’t finish there. There are too many signs of socioeconomic decay. Since most will feel the results of tyranny in their pocketbooks first, I’ll begin with that. But first let me clarify the single greatest problem we face. We find ourselves in a place where the meaning of words has been so corrupted that the precise use of language is no longer possible. We can thank our universities for this. Postmodern literary criticism has obliterated our ability to communicate clearly and concisely. We are funding our universities to indoctrinate our young, so we also need to ensure that courses are being taught based upon Western traditions and the legal system of Common Law. For instance, courses in Austrian Economics and the importance of free markets would be useful in demonstrating the proper prosperous foundation of economic freedom.

Centrally planned economies are not representative of free market capitalism. This lie has been employed by radicalized professors who want us to surrender our economic freedoms to greater state control. We need to remember that the government’s primary obligation is to enforce the rule of law, defend our borders, while protecting its citizens, RATHER THAN ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL THE MARKET (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE) WHILE PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR (ROBBING US OF THE VALUE OF OUR SAVINGS)! If you wish to design an economic system for failure, make economic progress the jurisdiction of the state and its bureaucracy. The reason we are in the economic downturn we are in with a greatly devalued currency is the direct result of state interference in an area that ought to be left to the private sector and private investors! One of the certainties of planned economies is that our elected representatives will be bribed by lobbyists. They will then use our taxes to fund their pet projects. Canada has had so many examples of this type of corruption that it is an indictment upon the Canadian body politic. Yet the blatant misuse of public funds has not resulted in the government falling and being criminally charged! I want a Canada with free markets totally devoid of state interference. I am fairly certain that most of you do as well.

The great lie about the left versus right political divide:

The left has taken fascism from the left-wing column and moved it into the right-wing column. Fascism was originally a phenomenon of the political left. It was explicitly socialist hence the name Nazi or National Socialism and it wasn't only Hitler who used this term! The Nazis had a platform of total state control over the banks, education, industry, and the media. This is obviously a left-wing agenda. So clearly it is factual to state that the Nazis and the fascist saw themselves as being on the left. Everyone recognized that these ideologies were a phenomenon of the left, however after WWII university professors from the left saw the starving emaciated figures coming out of the concentration camps. Progressive intellectuals who dominated American academia realized that their own views were suspiciously close to those of Mussolini and not all that far from those of Hitler. They realized that they had to redefine fascism and Nazism to remove their association with these ideologies. So now you have the utterly bizarre phenomenon where somebody can walk up to Benjamin Netanyahu and call him a Nazi!

My Norwegian wife often wanted to debate these topics back in Norway but found it utterly impossible. In Norway there is a plethora of topics which are deemed to be sacrosanct and therefore untouchable. Since I spent two and a half years living there, I know precisely what my wife was up against, an ideological machine based upon total social conformity. I watched her honest attempts to deal with the economic problems she was assigned by her government to address. So, I heard her frustrations on a daily basis. First and foremost, in Norway I saw a society whose belief in “Democratic Socialism” being embraced with such religious fervor that its collectivist mindset rejects and mislabels any who challenge their national zeitgeist. Obviously, I found it very off-putting, just as I do here in Canada today. Since I saw how their socialist system operates, I can assure my listeners and readers that there is nothing less democratic than the political system which Norwegians have the temerity to label as “democratic”. This is a subject I have mentioned so frequently that I fear belabouring my point. My wife was a Senior Advisor at the Norwegian Defence Department where her efforts to reduce waste, cost, and variation were met with open hostility from her colleagues and bosses. Anne-Siri pointing out the failures of this dysfunctional system to serve the needs of the Norwegian public demonstrated the following reality, that the beatings would continue until moral improves!

The origin of the left versus right political divide, Revolutionary France:

In revolutionary France those who believed that the executive branch of government as represented by the King cannot be vetoed by Parliament sat to the King's right while those who believed that Parliament had the right to veto the King's arbitrary demands sat to the King's left. By this measure all authoritarian forms of government are right wing while all of us who believe in limited representative government left-wing. Therefore, Conservatives who believe in limited government according to this measure sit on the left while Fascists, Nazis, Postmodernists, Democratic Socialists, Marxists, Postmodernists, and Cultural Marxists, etc., etc., are in principle all statist, authoritarian ideologies which share similar beliefs in centralized state control. Because of this I am no longer willing to accept labels created by social collectivist radicals to obfuscate clarity and understanding. These labels were invented by authoritarians who loathe representative democracy. I refuse to use their language. I will not play their Postmodern word game. Nevertheless, for the sake of mutual understanding and despite the term is technically incorrect I am forced to refer to Postmodernists and Cultural Marxists as being on the left.

On the necessity of personal accountability: What is the result when an entire society fails to individuate to become mature adults?

Carl Jung’s concept of individuation refers to the lifelong psychological process of integrating the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche to become a whole, mature individual. When this process is neglected or blocked, especially on a large scale, it can have profound societal consequences.

---

🧠 What Happens When Individuation Is Absent?

If many individuals fail to individuate, the result can be a collective psychological immaturity. Here's how that might manifest:

1. Emotional Immaturity

• People may remain dependent on external validation.
• Difficulty handling conflict, criticism, or ambiguity.
• Overreliance on group identity or ideology instead of personal values.

2. Irresponsibility

• Avoidance of personal accountability.
• Blaming others (or systems) for personal failures.
• Lack of initiative or resilience in facing life’s challenges.

3. Shadow Projection

• Jung emphasized the “shadow” — the unconscious, repressed parts of ourselves.
• Without individuation, people project their shadow onto others, leading to scapegoating, tribalism, and moral panic.

4. Mass Conformity and Herd Mentality

• People may follow trends, ideologies, or charismatic leaders without critical thought.
• This can lead to polarization, extremism, or even authoritarian movements.

5. Crisis of Meaning

• Without a developed inner life, individuals may feel empty or lost.
• This can lead to addiction, escapism, or nihilism.

---

🌍 Societal Consequences

When this lack of individuation becomes widespread, it can resemble an epidemic of arrested development:

• Workplaces may be filled with reactive, unreflective behavior.
• Politics may become more emotionally charged and less rational.
• Education may focus on conformity over critical thinking.
• Culture may prioritize superficiality over depth.

Jung warned that without individuation, society risks becoming a mass of unconscious individuals, vulnerable to manipulation and incapable of true progress.

Connecting Carl Jung’s concept of individuation to modern politics reveals some powerful insights into why political discourse today often feels polarized, reactive, and emotionally charged.

---

🧠 Individuation in Jungian Psychology

Individuation is the process by which a person becomes psychologically whole — integrating their conscious identity with unconscious aspects like the shadow, anima/animus, and archetypes. It leads to maturity, self-awareness, and personal responsibility.

---

🏛️ How Lack of Individuation Affects Modern Politics

1. Shadow Projection in Political Tribalism

• Jung warned that when individuals don’t confront their own shadow, they project it onto others.
• In politics, this manifests as demonizing the “other side” — seeing opponents not as fellow citizens with different views, but as threats or villains.
• This fuels polarization, conspiracy thinking, and moral absolutism.

2. Mass Psychology and Herd Mentality

• Jung was deeply concerned about the dangers of mass movements.
• Without individuation, people may surrender personal judgment to groupthink, ideology, or charismatic leaders.
• This can lead to authoritarianism, ideological possession, and/or blind allegiance to political parties.

3. Emotional Reactivity Over Rational Discourse

• Immature psyches are driven by emotion, not reflection.
• Political debates become performative and reactive, focused on outrage rather than solutions.
• Social media amplifies this by rewarding emotional intensity over nuance.

4. Loss of Personal Responsibility

• Jung emphasized personal responsibility as a key outcome of individuation.
• In its absence, people may externalize blame rather than engaging constructively.
• This fosters cynicism, disengagement, or radicalization.

5. Crisis of Meaning and Identity Politics

• Without individuation, people may seek identity through external labels — race, gender, nationality, ideology — rather than inner development.
• While cultural identity is very important, over-identification can lead to fragmentation, where collective identity replaces personal growth.
• Jung saw this as a danger to both the individual and society.

---

🌱 How Individuation Could Transform Politics

If more individuals engaged in the process of individuation, politics could shift toward:

• Debate based on open dialogue
• Empathy over enmity
• Critical thinking over conformity to the preferred in group
• Personal responsibility over projecting blame onto others
• Inner development over seeking external validation

How did we permit radicals to hijack our universities since the Academy is responsible for radicalizing several generations of young people at the taxpayers’ expense?

The first problem is that we have forgotten our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Here in the West people have been foolish enough to reject the idea that Christ alone is King! Culturally we have failed to recognize that Christian values, ethics, epistemology and ontological thinking are foundational to maintaining a functional law-abiding civil society with justice and liberty for all.

The second thing that we must understand is that most folks are simply not philosophers. Most have not studied the processes of thought which have resulted in two World Wars, the Cold War and the conflicts in the Gulf and the Middle East. People were too busy keeping a roof over their heads, putting food on the table, and clothing themselves while trusting that their governments had not been weaponized to attack the very constitutional democracy, that they had elected them to defend. Many know little to nothing about Hegelian Dialectics and the ideological possession of authoritarian regimes. Many simply cannot put themselves into the minds of others who holds radically different beliefs. We falsely assume that everyone must be just like us sharing our basic values of common decency. Well, my friends there is nothing so uncommon as common decency!

Thirdly, my generation up to the present are spoiled. I was spoiled. As a young adult I had little concept of what it was like to be live through the Great Depression only to be sent off to war to defend Mother Country while ridding Europe from social collectivist tyranny. I simply cannot imagine how difficult my father’s life must have been, even though he was fortunate enough to have some exceptional talents that resulted in his Commanding Officer keeping him out of the European theatre of war. If he had been sent, I might not have been here to write this blog.

Ideological fallacies have resulted in creating endless conflicts and civil unrest:

I'm feeling more than a bit frustrated given all the ridiculous ideological fallacies which have captured our universities, governmental agencies, bureaucracies, and our dangerously ideologically addled political class. Since the martyrdom of Socratic debater and Christian apologist Charlie Kirk, I can see no peaceful solution to the species of ideological possession which has made itself fully manifest. Ideological insanity has now been borne open for public scrutiny. Yet too few care to investigate the nature of it and its complexities. Our universities have been weaponized to corrupt our youth. The Academy’s endless spewing of Neo-Marxist rhetoric is beyond the pale. We need to stop deceiving ourselves. We are at war with an ideological enemy. Since I call myself “The Reluctant Prophet”, I predict with reasonable certainty that this will not end well!

Postmodernism and Cultural Marxism: A war which has been brought to our doorstep

 

"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism."  

~ Hannah Arendt 

Even as the martyrdom of St. Stephen led to the conversion of the Apostle Paul who brought Christianity to Europe, Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom has ignited a revival in the West that cannot be stopped by those who are ideologically possessed by the Satanic delusions of Cultural Marxist Critical Race, Gender, and Climate Catastrophizing Theory. Charlie is now a seed that has been planted by his martyrdom and watered by his blood that will once again raise the tree upon which Christ was crucified for all of mankind to see! Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father! 

What is the current prevailing nature of the enemy of our soul’s lies? How Satan has weaponized Western politics with Postmodernism and Cultural Marxism: 

Understanding our earthly enemy’s motivations and thought processes are crucial in military planning. It helps military leaders anticipate their opponents moves and motives, enabling them to counter their strategies, and make informed decisions that mitigate risk. Military leaders must rely on intelligence gathering and analysis to gain insight into the enemy’s behaviour. So, my question to all my fellow conservatives and particularly to conservative Christians, why is it so many of you appear not to have read or researched what you hope to counter? Why do you rely on your wits and reason alone without knowing the enemy’s accepted narrative and beliefs? This is precisely why Cancel Culture is the final stage of a Cultural Marxist Revolution you fail to understand. This final stage of the Neo-Marxist Revolution is where critics must now be silenced by force, up to and including by assassination. If you have not studied your enemies' beliefs, you will never be able to counter them! 

We are fighting ideological possession: 

Critical Theory and Neo-Marxism shifted focus from class struggle to identity politics. 
• This led to activism centred on race, gender, sexuality, and climate theory which they see as enforcing ideological conformity. 
• Cancel culture, in this view, is a tool used to silence dissent and enforce these new norms—thus representing a kind of “cultural revolution.” 

1. What is Critical Theory? 
Critical Theory originated with the Frankfurt School in the early 20th century. Thinkers like Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse critiqued capitalist societies, culture, and ideology. Their work laid the foundation for later developments in post-structuralism, queer theory, and gender studies—but they themselves did not develop ideas about gender identity in the way we understand it today. 

2. Key Intellectual Roots of Transgender Thought 
The development of ideas around gender identity and transgender experiences draws from several intellectual traditions: 
• Simone de Beauvoir (1949): In The Second Sex, she famously wrote, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,” introducing the idea that gender is socially constructed. 
• Judith Butler (1990): In Gender Trouble, Butler, a philosopher influenced by post-structuralism and critical theory, argued that gender is performative—not something one is, but something one does. This is a cornerstone of queer theory, which is often linked to critical theory. 
• Michel Foucault: His work on the history of sexuality and power/knowledge dynamics influenced how scholars understand the social construction of identity, including gender and sexuality. 
• Sandy Stone: Often credited as a founder of transgender studies, Stone’s 1987 essay “The Empire Strikes Back: A Post-transsexual Manifesto” challenged medicalized and binary views of trans identity. 

3. Critical Theory and Transgender Ideology 
Critical theory influenced the academic and philosophical frameworks—especially through queer theory and gender studies—that helped articulate and legitimize transgender experiences in scholarly and activist contexts. 

Yet most of you have never read a single article or listened to a lecture on Postmodern Cultural Relativism and Cultural Marxist Critical Race, Gender and Climate Catastrophizing Theory! Without understanding these idea pathogens, you will never be able to defeat ideological possession. And here I am writing about the most renowned of conservative voices who think that they can defeat an ideology which rejects Enlightenment values based on reasoned debate as “Bourgeois and oppressive”. The new left rejects open debate as a tool of oppressive power. Yes, they believe that communication itself is merely a power struggle for control and dominance. We need to force them to eat the inconsistencies in their own arguments by using their words against them. 

We must make the consequences of all forms of social collectivism so hideous that no one could dream of repeating these experiments of the social engineering of humanity! Charlie Kirk was the living embodiment of a life lived by Enlightenment values forged with Christian apologetics. Postmodernism and Critical Theory exist for the express purpose of dividing and conquering every decent Christian principle and value. The university was born as a Christian institution. Since the Dons believed in a God of moral order and structure, they believed in the inquiry of natural processes expecting to discover universal laws by which God Himself has arranged reality. Postmodernism and Cultural Marxist Critical Theory are Satanic examples of one socially constructed scream of “Hath God said?’ 

I find it remarkable that all those in charge of the investigation of Charlie Kirk's assassination speak of the need for tolerance and open discourse toward differences in political opinions however Charlie's murder has little to do with politics. Politics exists far downstream of ideological beliefs. If one holds beliefs that reject Enlightenment values to the point where speech itself becomes a crime, then this is not merely a political issue, it is both philosophical and indeed religious. Let me be clear Postmodernism and Cultural Marxism are not merely ideologies, rather they are religions that label their opponents as heretics who must be silenced. Ask yourselves, when has social collectivism not become murderous? Whether we are to discuss National Socialism, Fascism, or Marxism they all share the same DNA at their heart, namely blind conformity of opinion. I honestly do not know how it would be possible to have a debate with someone who intends to silence their ideological opponents by labelling reasoned discourse as hateful. 

What most fail to understand about why the Postmodern left refuses to debate: 

Postmodernism is largely a reaction against the intellectual assumptions and values of the Enlightenment period in the history of Western philosophy (roughly, the 17th through the 19th century). Indeed, many of the doctrines characteristically associated with Postmodernism can fairly be described as the straightforward denial of general philosophical viewpoints that were taken for granted during the 18th-century Enlightenment, though they were not unique to that period. The most important of these viewpoints are the following. 

1. There is an objective natural reality, a reality whose existence and properties are logically independent of human beings—of their minds, their societies, their social practices, or their investigative techniques. Postmodernists dismiss this idea as a kind of naive realism. Such reality as there is, according to postmodernists, is a conceptual construct, an artifact of scientific practice and language. This point also applies to the investigation of past events by historians and to the description of social institutions, structures, or practices by social scientists. 

2. The descriptive and explanatory statements of scientists and historians can, in principle, be objectively true or false. The postmodern denial of this viewpoint—which follows from the rejection of an objective natural reality—is sometimes expressed by saying that there is no such thing as Truth. 

3. Through the use of reason and logic, and with the more specialized tools provided by science and technology, human beings are likely to change themselves and their societies for the better. It is reasonable to expect that future societies will be more humane, more just, more enlightened, and more prosperous than they are now. Postmodernists deny this Enlightenment faith in science and technology as instruments of human progress. Indeed, many postmodernists hold that the misguided (or unguided) pursuit of scientific and technological knowledge led to the development of technologies for killing on a massive scale in World War II. Some go so far as to say that science and technology—and even reason and logic—are inherently destructive and oppressive, because they have been used by evil people, especially during the 20th century, to destroy and oppress others. 

When students and graduates of universities whose Dons preach such illogical drivel seek to silence others, we ought not to wonder why they would rage against reason. Rather we should ask how they have come to believe what they accept as truth? The Enlightenment was based upon factual evidence and objective reality while Postmodernism rejects the very existence of objective reality and reason-based discourse. Why should we wonder then, given the prevalence of this hideous ideology, how the West has descended into murderous violence? Postmodernism and Critical Theory are the very ideologies responsible for the death of Charlie Kirk. 

Worse, the kid responsible for Charlie's murder was indoctrinated by his university to believe that his actions were justified. Understand this, his ideologically possessed professors pulled that trigger right along with him! Do you realize all these labels are constructed terms invented by the radical left with the sole purpose of deconstructing normality, the nuclear family, and Christianity? The people who invented this Postmodern literary deconstruction of reality literally have stated this in their own literature. 

If someone states that their agenda involves deconstructing everything upon which civil society rests, believe them. Socrates's philosophical method, which involved publicly questioning people and exposing their ignorance, embarrassed influential Athenians and created animosity toward him. He drank Hemlock rather than abandoning his moral compass to the Athenians’ delusions. Charlie died for the same reason. He knew he was a target of the left’s hatred but countered their unreason with Socratic debate. 

These ideologically possessed useful fools and tools of Cultural Marxism are ready, willing, and able to murder all who disagree with their perverse agenda all in the name of "Progressivism". My life is dedicated to exposing the nature and source of these demonic lies!  

Yes, Charlie Kirk was the living embodiment of a life lived by Enlightenment values forged with Christian apologetics! They martyred Charlie, now they will be coming for us as well! Ideological delusions must be eradicated starting with the university professors who have corrupted our youth!
