Explaining The 'Young Couple Buys House' Propaganda

Explaining The ‘Young Couple Buys House’ Propaganda

Observant Kiwis will have noticed a recent deluge of articles featuring young couples who have just bought a house. These are presented as heart-warming tales of plucky young people overcoming the odds, but they’re actually very insidious works of propaganda. This essay explains.

The New Zealand housing crisis is now so bad that, if it was half as bad, houses in Auckland would still be considered “severely unaffordable”. The Demographia international housing affordability survey (link goes to .pdf) considers a country’s housing to be unaffordable if it is three times the median household income, and severely unaffordable if it is more than 5.1 times the median household income.

According to the housing affordability calculator at interest.co.nz, the average New Zealand house price was 8.43 times the median household income in July 2021. The average Auckland metro house price was 11.32 times the median household income. These figures mean that even second-tier cities like Nelson and Dunedin are severely unaffordable. The thought of owning one’s own home, once considered a standard part of life, is now just a distant dream to most Kiwi workers.

This housing crisis is having severe consequences. It has meant that great numbers of young Kiwis have seen their dreams evaporate. Their hopes – if not expectations – of raising a family that they could be happy with are gone. Raising a happy family is a function of many things, but one of the most important ones is security of housing. Security of housing is only for the rich when the median house price is ten times the median household income.

Without a hope of raising a happy family, many people give up. The prospect of genetic immortality through one’s offspring appears to be the fundamental drive keeping great numbers of people going. Without it, a deep sense of anomie sets in, usually followed by nihilism. This latter condition can lead to all manner of atrocities, as the 20th Century demonstrated beyond doubt.

The obvious risk facing Western society in coming years is, by now, apparent to most. The widespread anomie and nihilism brought about by the housing crisis could lead, in short order, to equally widespread chaos and destruction. In other times and places, an entire generation getting locked out of housing would lead to civil unrest. The ruling class knows history, so they know that mass violence is potentially not far away.

Kiwis are a gutless slave race, as shown by our current wretched state, but even we will protest if we’re all made homeless. It’s to pre-empt these potentially riotous emotions that the mainstream media runs so many “Young couple buys a house!” stories. Their intention is to normalise the idea that a typical young couple can easily buy a home in today’s market.

If it was widely believed that a young couple could easily buy a home in New Zealand today, much of the discontent from the way the country is being run would be neutralised. Any young person complaining about how much easier the Boomers had it could simply be referred to the young couple in the NewsHub article linked in the first paragraph.

“If they can do it, why can’t you?” the Boomers will cry. You just need to get off your arse etc.

At times like these, it has to be borne in mind that the mainstream media is owned by international banking and finance interests, and so the media only runs stories that serve those interests. Banks want the highest possible house prices, because that means the maximum possible mortgage profits. To that end, they want to normalise mass immigration and million-dollar mortgages, and to abnormalise multi-generational housing.

Ultimately, the reason for all the “Young couple buys house” propaganda is to stop young people from getting angry at the intergenerational rape being committed against them by the Boomers. Pre-empting this anger will allow those Boomers to ride the gravy train for as long as possible.

The mainstream media will do everything it can to create the impression that homeownership is still normal for young people, and to deny the grim reality that even families with two working adults have trouble owning the roof over their heads. If they would admit the latter, they would run the risk of powerful revolutionary sentiments taking hold.

Who Was I Before This Life? Where Was I Before This Life?

1. Elementalism provides the answers to all philosophical questions. As such, it provides the answer to the question of who you were in previous lives, and where your consciousness was before you were born.

2. Ignorant people ask themselves where they were before they were born as if they were their bodies and not their consciousness.

3. This leads to great confusion, as one’s physical form in this life is an expression of one’s genes, and those genes are unique to this life.

4. Therefore, what did I like look in my previous life? What social role did I fill? And where was this society located?

5. Knowing consciousness to be the prima materia, the Elementalist knows that these are deceptive questions.

6. A person is not their body, therefore who they were in previous lives was whoever their consciousness incarnated as.

7. This incarnation would have been a function of the frequency of that person’s consciousness.

8. This incarnation could have been anything, depending on that person’s frequency of consicousness.

9. The physical world is not the prima materia, and, as such, all fragments of consciousness are not located anywhere physical, but are rather perceiving some subset of the Great Fractal.

10. You have always been the fragment of consciousness that you are, ever since it separated from the divine in the intial act of creation.

11. This fragment of consciousness is eternal until it is recalled by the divine. The perceptions that pass through this fragment of consciousness are not of primary importance.

12. Thus, you could have been anyone in a previous life.

13. The frequency of the world in which you incarnated in this life is a function of the frequency that you ended your previous life with.

14. The frequency of the world into which you incarnated in your previous life was a function of the frequency of your consciousness in the life before that.

15. The frequency of anywhere you found yourself in the past will be a function of the frequency of your consciousness at the time.

16. The further back you go through the reincarnations, the more different your frequency becomes and so the more different your lives become.

17. You were still yourself in all of your previous lives, and you were wherever you deserved to be based on the frequency of your consciousness at the time.

18. You have been Cleopatra, and Napoleon, and Ghengis Khan, in previous lives. The only question is how many incarnations ago. The more similar your frequency of consciousness is to those people, the more recently.

19. It’s possible to rise above the life you’re living now, and to see several of the lives you have lived previously, stretching away through the Great Fractal in an illusion of time.

20. Your future self will ask themselves who they were in previous lives, and, if they are psychically gifted, they might develop the ability to look back and see you live this life now.

This chapter is an excerpt from Elemental Elementalism, the foundational scripture of the new religion of the Age of Aquarius.

In Clown World, Spirituality Is Considered Mental Illness

The strangest item in the New Zealand popular consciousness this week was the story about the University of Canterbury sociology lecturer Dr. Anne Scott. It seems like Dr. Scott was dismissed for having unorthodox religious beliefs, in particular “spiritualist beliefs”. She appears to have been another victim of the fact that, in Clown World, any genuine spiritual wisdom is considered to be mental illness.

Everyone alive today is subject to what is known as the Clown World Fork. This is the major cause of strife in Clown World today.

The Clown World Fork is that only two attitudes towards the divine are allowed. Either you declare yourself to worship a dead rabbi nailed to a tree and call it God, or you declare the world to be a soulless, meaningless slaughterhouse of unending despair and horror. Anyone who asserts any other attitude is mentally ill, and can get forked.

This fork, or something similar to it, has been observed long ago by other commentators. Cyril Scott, in An Outline Of Modern Occultism, noted that only a minority saw appeal in occult philsophy: those who thought both that mainstream religion was illogical, and that materialism was empty and soulless. However, as mentioned above, being in this minority comes with social risks.

Dr. Scott fell victim of the Clown World Fork. She bravely tried to assert a third path, away from mindless superstition and mindless nihilism, and towards using reason to uncover spiritual truths. Unfortunately, the modern university system is no place for any kind of original thinker, and she was duly shunned.

Our society is grounded on three spiritual falsehoods, and anyone who denies any one of them is likewise shunned. Christians are allowed to pretend to deny these falsehoods, as long as other people understand that those Christians aren’t really serious. These three spiritual falsehoods are reinforced by all official conduct and by all popular culture. To question any of the three is to be considered psychotic.

The first falsehood is that the brain generates consciousness, and so, with the death of one’s physical body, one’s consciousness will be extinguished. The second falsehood is that this physical world is all there is, and the worlds seen in dreams and visions are illusory. The third falsehood is that neither consciousness nor the physical world is divine in any sense, both being mundane expressions of physical causes.

All of these falsehoods are known to be falsehoods by anyone who has studied occult philosophy – but therein lies the problem. Anyone who realises that any of these three assertions are false is labelled mentally ill by the Clown World herd. In Clown World, it’s taken as granted that only the mentally ill would question one of these three great spiritual dogmas, and so these terrible metaphysical lodestones continue to weigh us down.

The Western World of 2021 is in desperate need of a spiritual revolution.

During the recent cannabis referendum debate in New Zealand, the mainstream media featured people making most of the arguments that VJM Publishing has also made for cannabis law reform. One argument they didn’t make, however, was that cannabis is a spiritual sacrament that helps people reconnect to the divine, and therefore ought to be legal on spiritual grounds.

Arguably, cannabis is already legal under Sections 13 and 15 of the NZ Bill of Rights Act, which enshrine the right to religious practice. Unfortunately, no-one except for VJM Publishing made this argument. Alternative spiritual practices are highly taboo in Clown World society, as evidenced by the case of Dr. Scott. As such, the prevailing narrative is that cannabis causes mental illness, not that it grants spiritual insight.

As anyone who has ever dealt with the mental health services has learned, the Establishment will not allow any talk of spirituality. Anyone who denies one of the three assertions mentioned above is considered mentally ill – and no discussion will be had. This goes triple for anyone who came to deny one of those assertions after doing a psychoactive drug. Such people cannot escape the label of mental illness, because the three false assertions are believed with such obstinate righteousness that even questioning them is an outrage.

The natural reaction, upon learning that society is built on false metaphysical assumptions, is to become anxious. It is terrifying to realise that society has got the basics wrong and that we’re causing a massive amount of unnecessary suffering to ourselves for no rational reason. It’s horrifying to realise that Plato, the founder of Western civilisation, wrote about his belief in reincarnation in Timaeus, and yet this belief is routinely casually dismissed by far, far, far lesser minds.

Western society today has no conception of “took a spiritual sacrament, became wiser, is now operating on a higher plane.” It’s merely “took drugs, went mad.” Clown World, being the combination of soulless corporate whoring and soulless anti-intellectual rabble rousing, has no ideological space for anything spiritual. All talk of spiritual insight, all questioning of the three great dogmas, is merely mental illness. Anyone expressing such sentiments needs sedative medication, or, at least, to get kicked out of their job.

Such is the wretched state of spirituality in Clown World.

VJMP Reads: Gaddafi’s Green Book III (fin)

This reading carries on from here.

Part III is titled ‘The Social Basis of The Third Universal Theory’. This is divided into eleven chapters.

In the first, ‘The Social Basis of The Third Universal Theory’, Gaddafi declares that the social bond is the basis for the movement of history. Each group has common social needs which must be collectively satisfied. The national struggle is the basis of history. “…just as community is the basis for survival of all groups within the animal kingdom, so nationalism is the basis for the survival of nations”.

“Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin.” The destruction of nations leads to minorities. National unity is the basis of survival – Gaddafi compares it to gravity. Gaddafi channels Edward O Wilson at one point, stating that the social bond works automatically towards the goal of national survival. Nationalism is the secret of group survival and it’s harmful to go against this. He observes that marriage within a group strengthens its unity.

In the second, ‘The Family’, Gaddafi compares the family to a plant, both being an expression of Nature. Any “dispersion, decline or loss of the family” is unnatural and could be compared to the destruction of a plant. Gaddafi compares society to a garden. The ideal form is one in which the individual can flourish within the family and the family within society. A society in which individuals lived without their families would be artificial.

In the third, ‘The Tribe’, Gaddafi notes that a tribe is just an extended family, and a nation is just an extended tribe. This same point was noted in Aristotle’s Politics. “The relationship which binds the family also binds the tribe, the nation, and the world.” Feelings of kinship decrease the larger the kinship group is. Gaddafi ridicules those who think otherwise.

In the fourth, ‘The Merits Of The Tribe’, Gaddafi describes the tribe as a secondary family. It raises and educates those within it. It also allows more freedom than the family, which supervises closely. Blood is the prime factor in its formation, but a person or family can be part of the tribe by affiliation and then later part of the tribe by blood.

In the fifth, ‘The Nation’, Gaddafi notes that loyalty to any one of family, tribe, nation and humanity weakens loyalty to the other three. Selfishness is harmful to the wider group, but self-respect is beneficial to it. A shared destiny is essential to nationhood. “The national state is the only political form which is consistent with the natural social structure.” The nation-state will naturally endure unless attacked from the outside or unless it collapses into tribal mentality.

All states composed of multiple nations will eventually destroy themselves, because the social factor of national bonds will inevitably triumph over the political factor. The tribe develops individuals at the post-family stage, and the nation develops individuals at the post-tribe stage.

In the sixth, ‘Woman’, Gaddafi opens by declaring it self-evident that men and women are equal as human beings. However, the fact that both exist and not just one shows that they occupy different roles. Men and women cannot replace each other in those natural roles. Nurseries are unnatural and should not exist, save for the case of orphans, where nurseries are better than foster homes.

“In need, freedom is latent.” Therefore, women should not be forced to work to provide the necessities of life. Belief in gender equality deprives women of their freedom. Gaddafi notes, with disapproval, that societies everywhere seek to turn women into men. “Men and women must be creative within their respective roles.” Women should not be forced to carry out men’s duties to gain equality with men.

In the seventh, ‘Minorities’, Gaddafi outlines two kinds of minorities. One belongs to the nation, which provides its social framework, whereas the other must form its own social framework. He suggests that the problems of minorities have to be solved at the national level, in a society controlled by the masses. Minorities should not be seen as substrata.

In the eighth, ‘Black People Will Prevail In The World’, Gaddafi claims that black people are motivated to vengeance by slavery. Much as Asians and white people had eras of dominance over history, so too will the blacks. He notes that the backwardness of blacks has led directly to their numerical superiority. The populations of other races are declining because of their obsession with work, but this hasn’t affected the blacks.

In the ninth, ‘Education’, Gaddafi speaks against rote learning. He notes that the style of education that is typical in the world goes against human freedom. Forcing a human to learn according to a curriculum is dictatorship. State-controlled and standardised education stultifies the masses. Education of all kinds of subjects should be available. “Knowledge is a natural right of every human being.”

In the tenth, ‘Music And Art’, Gaddafi laments that there is no common human language. He makes the startling claim that the stylistic sentiments of earlier generations are passed down to later ones in the genes. “People are only harmonious with their own arts and heritage”. Eventually, Gaddafi claims, all people will speak one language, or society will collapse.

In the eleventh, ‘Sport, Horsemanship And The Stage’, Gaddafi equates spectator sport with watching someone pray or eat at a restaurant. Much of this chapter has no real Western context, as our participatory sports are organised in a different way. He agrees with the general Western sentiment that sports should be for the masses. But he makes some odd claims, such as that the grandstand was invented to deny popular access to the sporting field.

In summary, Gaddafi’s The Green Book is a wide-ranging summary of his political and social beliefs. It is penetratingly insightful at places, and bafflingly vague at others. His criticisms of democracy, as it is practiced, are brilliant, but the book is light on practical detail regarding the alternative. Far from coming across as a dictator, Gaddafi seems intelligent and reasonable in this book. There is no focus on destroying his enemies, but rather on how a great country could be built on nationalist and socialist principles.
