Humour Is The Antidote To Mass Psychosis – That’s Why Totalitarians Want To Ban It

Comedy is dying all over the West. It seems like it’s now impossible to make a joke about anything without getting cancelled, banned from everything and one’s life destroyed. A parade of comedians have been cancelled in recent years, and now an atmosphere of sombre dread hangs over every country. But this dark turn of events can be easily explained, as this essay will show.

All totalitarian regimes strongly discourage humour. The Christians of the authoritarian right killed people for it, the Nazis of the authoritarian centre killed people for it and the Commies of the authoritarian left killed people for it. If the essence of libertarianism is light-hearted levity, the essence of authoritarianism is taking everything extremely seriously – or being made to.

Humour is chaos. By its very nature, it’s unpredictable. No-one has ever been able to write an accurate guide to reliably producing humour, because humour has to be unexpected in order to be funny. Because humour is chaotic and unpredictable, it works like a dissolving acid against stale, stagnant and superfluous ideas and political structures.

It’s this chaotic effect that causes totalitarians to seethe about it.

Totalitarianism is, in its metaphysical essence, an excess of order. It’s when the finest details of every person’s life have been determined by someone above them on the dominance hierarchy. Totalitarianism is ultimately borne by fear: the more afraid an individual or a population is, the more they want a Big Daddy to come in and set everything right. Fear leads to the desire for the imposition of order.

In order for totalitarianism to be possible, the masses have to be conditioned to accept it. But they can’t be conditioned into sanely accepting it, because a sane person, not being afraid, will not accept submission to totalitarians. As such, the masses have to be made to insanely accept it – they have to be driven mad by relentless propaganda so that they throw themselves into the arms of those who would rule them.

The totalitarians seize power by deliberately creating mass psychosis. This is a form of hypnosis, whereby the masses are hypnotised into following the will of their rulers. This is achieved by overloading the minds of the masses so that they don’t have enough mental bandwidth to process all the stimulation coming in. A mind overloaded by stimuli is less able to resist suggestion. So the totalitarians overwhelm the resistance of their subjects by blasting them with ceaseless fear-producing propaganda.

Humour counters this by clearing the mental slate from overstimulation.

As such, humour breaks down the conditioning effect of mass psychosis, and thereby liberates people from the grip that totalitarians have on their minds. Totalitarianism preys on fear, in particular the fear that induces people to keep their heads down in case they get punished, and humour dispells this fear, instead inducing people to stand up straight and to defy those who would rule them.

The reason why Marxist Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt took to the mainstream media to have VJM Publishing cancelled for selling ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ t-shirts is precisely because they were humourous. Authoritarian leftists like Hunt consider their ideology to be Very Serious Business. As such, plebs like VJM Publishing are not allowed to make fun of it. Despite being clearly satirical, the slogan was declared to be “white supremacist” and the t-shirts pulled.

The Quadrijitu informs us that these things go in cycles. When life is good, people roll over for totalitarian measures because they’ve got too much to lose by rocking the boat. When life is bad, people keep their heads down. But when things get really bad, and people no longer have anything to lose, anger arises, and this anger leads people to take action despite the threat of consequences.

This current wave of totalitarianism will only end when a new generation of fearless comedians stands up and takes the piss again. VJM Publishing made an effort to mock the direction the Western World was headed with our book Clown World Chronicles – our most successful book in ten years of operations. We haven’t been cancelled for it (so far), and this is what the world needs more of – people standing up.

Humour doesn’t have to be good to serve as the antidote to totalitarianism. It doesn’t have to be intelligent, tasteful or even funny. The most important thing is that it is irreverent. This irreverence breaks the spell of the mass hypnosis and stops people from seeing totalitarians as authority figures. So if you want to do something about the totalitarian direction the West is moving in – take the piss out of an authority figure.

The Abrahamic Origins Of Wokeness

A new moral fanaticism has swept the upper echelons of Western society in recent years. Called Wokeness, it’s cancelling wrongthinkers everywhere with the fervour of a jihadist driving a van through a crowd of Christmas shoppers. Although most people consider it an entirely new phenomenon, Wokeness is, in fact, another form of Abrahamic religion. This essay explains.

As first observed by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, Marxism is itself another form of Abrahamic religion. He defined it as an atheistic Abrahamism, in recognition of the fact that the Abrahamic cults are political religions and not spiritual ones. As a form of Abrahamism, Marxism shares with Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Baha’i a megalomanical desire to control the world and a psychopathic hatred of outsiders.

Wokeness developed out of Marxism in a similar manner to how Christianity and Islam developed out of Judaism. The only major difference between Wokeness and Marxism is that the latter was concerned with class questions, whereas the former has abandoned those for identity politics. In any case, Wokeness shares many characteristics with the Abrahamic religions.

Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya observed that the Abrahamic cults shared “A profound sense of religious exclusivity, creating two strictly delineated camps of ‘believers’ in opposition to everyone else.” The ‘with-us-or-against-us’ logic of Abrahamism has been adopted directly into Wokeness. The absurd outcomes of this can be seen in the purity spiral phenomenon.

One central belief of Wokeness is that those who follow it are considered saved, in the sense that they need not fear future judgment, whereas those who don’t follow it are considered damned. This judgment is absolute: anything a person may have achieved in their lives, any good works they may have done, are secondary to the question of whether they were Woke. In this manner, Wokeness builds a sense of community in the same way that the Abrahamic cults do: through hatred of outsiders.

Another observation of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya is that the Abrahamic cults share “The belief that there is only the sole true faith, and that any other form of religious expression external to the ‘one true faith’ is necessarily wrong.” The Woke follow this belief, only with regard to political expressions.

They don’t care much what your religious beliefs are, but if you hold a contrary political opinion then you are the enemy. This is because the Woke have never questioned their own righteousness, not even once. So if you disagree with a Wokist, you’re simply wrong. There is no room for dialogue or discussion, because, to them, that would be to platform evil.

This attitude is similar to the Abrahamic attitude that no outside religious ideas can ever be entertained, lest it lead to a crisis of faith. The same way that Abrahamists seek to eradicate all trace of competing religious dogmas, the Woke seek to eradicate all trace of completing political dogmas. As their idol, Joseph Stalin, once said: “Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?”

Yet another observation is that the Abrahamic cults share “The acceptance of terrorism, violence, mob action, looting and aggressive missionary tactics to spread their religion.”

The Wokeness equivalent of crusading and jihading is cancel culture. The Woke don’t like to use mob terrorism to lynch people – that’s too working-class. The middle-class way to use mob terrorism is by doxxing wrongthinkers and trying to get them fired or deplatformed. The apogee of cancel culture is getting the mainstream media to run a hitpiece on someone.

Like the Abrahamists, the Woke derive a powerful sense of group bonding from destroying outsiders. The thought that those outsiders might take revenge thrills them because it suggests an escalation of conflict. Also like the Abrahamists, the Woke look forward to the one glorious day when they might destroy their enemies completely.

A further aspect of Wokeness shared by Abrahamism is “A common sense of being at a war to the death with the Dharmic (‘Pagan’) world that preceded Abrahamic ascendency.”

It has often been remarked that, for all their blustering about tyranny and oppression, the Woke don’t really care about the prohibition of spiritual sacraments such as cannabis and the psychedelics, and the countless people whose lives have been ruined by its enforcement. VJM Publishing has produced multiple books on the subject of cannabis law reform. But the Woke still consider us bad guys.

Some find this highly odd, but the explanation is simple. The Woke are politically religious, not spiritually religious, and as such they fear genuine spirituality, which they see as a competing ideology. Being soulless, the freedom to use spiritual sacraments such as cannabis and the psychedelics is not important to them. Moreover, people who do use such sacraments are usually anti-authoritarian, and therefore anti-Woke.

There are further similarities between Wokeness and the Abrahamic cults besides those observed by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya.

Like Abrahamism, Wokeness is a conduit for sadistic and controlling urges, and attracts people with those urges. The sneering, arrogant superiority of the Woke is a mirror image of how Abrahamists behave towards non-believers. The Woke, just like the Abrahamist, want people punished for rejecting their religion. Also like the Abrahamic cults, Wokeness appeals to that base desire to punish.

Wokeness is also a universalist religion. A core part of Woke mentality is that it is a mindset for all times and all peoples. In the same way that individuals today can be judged as unworthy of respect for not being Woke, so too can individuals from centuries ago. Any person or any group of people is morally obliged to be Woke, even if they didn’t know about it.

The Woke believe that the Laws of Wokeness are written upon the hearts of men at birth.

Like Marxism and Christianity, Wokeness explicitly seeks to raise up the low and tear down the high. The difference is that instead of raising the proletariat above the bourgeoisie, or the meek above the cruel, the Woke raise the dark-skinned above the light-skinned, the homosexual above the heterosexual, the insane above the sane. The fact that this mentality harms the white working-class is seen as a bonus, as it punishes them for their rejection of Wokeness.

The most telling fact of all is that Wokeness is heavily promoted by Abrahamists. Jews, Christians and Muslims love nothing more than lecturing goyim/infidels/kaffirs about how concern for one’s own nation is the same kind of in-group favouritism that inspires genocides, and therefore evil. Wokeness can therein be understood as an ideology that serves the wider Abrahamic objective of destroying natural political organisation, and thereby competitors to Abrahamism.

Ultimately, Abrahamism and Wokeness share a great many characteristics because they are both forms of slave morality. Just like the Abrahamic cults, Wokeness is based on resentment for life, and saying No to it. As such, Wokeness can rightly be considered an evil that increases the human suffering in the world.

Open The Door To Islam, Open The Door To Hell

With the terrorist attack at the New Lynn Countdown supermarket last night, Kiwis will now have to live with what Europeans have suffered for the past 20 years: ever-present ambient terror while out in public. The more intelligent Kiwis will soon come to realise something that intelligent Europeans realised 20 years ago: when you open the door to Islam, you consign your country to Hell.

The most predictable thing about the terror attack at the Auckland supermarket was the chorus of cries to not blame Islam. Even though we were told by Jacinda Ardern herself that the Christchurch mosque shootings were the collective responsibility of all white people, we have also been told by Ardern that last night’s terror “was carried out by an individual – not a faith, not a culture, not an ethnicity – but an individual person.”

Perhaps the second most predictable thing about the attack is that no-one in the mainstream media will ask who let the terrorist into the country to begin with. No mainstream journalist will track down who approved his visa. No-one will ask why a person like this was allowed into the country in the first place. VJM Publishing already figured out who opened the gates – it was our 53rd Minister of Immigration, National’s Jonathan Coleman.

As for why a New Zealand Minister of Immigration would open the doors to a terrorist, the answer depends on how much conspiracy theory you can handle.

The first thing to establish is that the supermarket attack was not an isolated incident. Since 2014, Muslims have carried out over a hundred terror attacks in Europe, with almost 400 total deaths. This is nothing unusual – it’s merely a hundred more examples of the now well-established 1400-year pattern of Muslims slaughtering anyone foolish enough to let them in.

Although the mainstream media will act like the motivations for the supermarket attack are mysterious, they’re actually very simple. The terrorist was an Islamic supremacist who believed that we Kiwis are filthy kuffirs who ought to submit to Islam or be destroyed. He was motivated by the idea that he was fighting a holy war against the enemies of the God of Abraham.

His intention – as with all who think like him – was to keep stabbing us, and shooting us, and raping our women and children, until one of two things happen: either we convert to Islam, or we disappear.

Ardern claimed that the terror attack “was carried out by an individual, not a faith, not a culture, not an ethnicity, but an individual person who was gripped by ideology that is not supported here by anyone or any community.” The reality is that plenty of Muslims support ISIS and the general ideology of Islamic supremacism. The Muslim community is the grass in which snakes like yesterday’s terrorist hide.

A Pew opinion poll found that “support in some degree for suicide bombings among younger European Muslims ranged from 22 percent in Germany to 29 percent in Spain, 35 percent in Britain and 42 percent in France.” A BBC poll in Britain found that a quarter of British Muslims sympathise with the Charlie Hebdo terrorists of 2015. Things are so bad that it’s more common today for British Muslims to join ISIS than to join the British Army.

What Kiwis have utterly failed to understand is that Muslims view the Muslim conquest of the world in much the same way that Kiwis view the All Blacks winning the Rugby World Cup: as the best possible thing that could happen. Last night’s terror attack was, for them, like watching the All Blacks scoring a try is for us. It was a victory for their team (the believers) against the opposition team (the infidels).

The Islamic State will happily admit to what is written in the paragraph above. Anyone doubting this needs to read Issue 15 of Dabiq magazine, the English-language magazine published by ISIS to explain their intentions and aspirations. One article in Issue 15 of Dabiq is titled ‘Why We Hate You & Why We Fight You‘. Here it is openly admitted that “We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject the oneness of Allah…”

There are believed to be some 60,000 Muslims in New Zealand. We know from the polling mentioned above that at least a quarter of Muslims living in other Western countries are ISIS sympathisers. If a similar proportion of them are ISIS sympathisers in New Zealand, that works out to be around 15,000 people.

Can you handle the idea that there are 15,000 people currently resident in New Zealand who consider yesterday’s mass stabbing to have been a good thing that increased the glory of Islam? That’s the reality that we now have to face. We’ve opened that door.

The grim, blood-stained reality is: now that we’ve opened our borders to Islam, and allowed it to gain a foothold here, the terror attacks will never end. We know this because the established modus operandi of Muslims in every area in which they gain a foothold is the same: to terrorise the locals until they submit to Islam. To never allow them a moment of peace otherwise.

Attacks like last night’s, and a hundred times worse, have been happening in Europe for decades. In Britain, 19,000 girls are raped every year by Muslim grooming gangs. New Zealand already has the refugee that won’t stop offending. Why open the borders any further to this menace?

The correct response to the supermarket attack is twofold.

First, a complete and total stop to all Muslim immigration to New Zealand. This means a total stop to all entry into New Zealand of Muslims from other countries. No refugees, no students, no family reunification, no work visas. Only apostates and women (i.e. victims of Islam) will be allowed into New Zealand from Muslim countries.

Second, everyone who supported or facilitated mass Muslim immigration to New Zealand has to be removed from public office, and barred from ever holding public office in the future. These people have demonstrated such a degree of poor judgment that they’re indistinguishable from traitors. They’ve opened the door of Hell to New Zealand, and people like them have to be discouraged from doing so again in the future.
