A few other names for "dialectical space" are "propaganda space", "the wizard's circle", and, Karl Marx's term "mystification". We can think of propaganda as a "spell" that they cast on us to put us into "the wizard's circle", in which reality is distorted. An additional point on this that James did not make is "the wizard's circle" resembles a theme from the 1980's movie "They Live", which many people among "the right" use for memes. All but a few characters in the movie have escaped the "wizard's circle" via special sunglasses. (14/60)

Matt is correct that very few on "the right" would gloat if a great tragedy were to befall him like what just happened with Charlie. No doubt we would almost all, if not all, feel grief and sympathy for Matt. I know I would. Despite considering Matt to be very much going down the wrong path currently. Matt is also correct that many on The Left would gleefully gloat over his death, should such a tragedy come to pass. And as such, it is a natural instinct to lean towards the people who, even if they disagree with you "harshly", would actually care if you were to be harmed. However, where Matt goes off the rails here is to polarize, rather than to try to deradicalize. There are more than two choices (e.g., "no IDpol and lose" vs. "IDpol and 'win', supposedly"). That's a false dichotomy. We can defeat the Woke Left without relying on identity politics. Matt seems to be headed down a dangerous path, in at least a few ways: (1) You seriously risk losing who you are, your soul, by taking up the same type of tactics which many of your political opponents have. Matt's "friend or foe" rhetoric mirrors that of Carl Schmitt's "friend-enemy distinction". Which is evident to the people Matt will likely be associating with in the future should he continue along this path (e.g., Auron MacIntyre & company). And make no mistake, leaning into tribalism, leaning into identity politics, which is downstream of the "friend-enemy distinction", is the same as what the Woke Leftists have done. You need not look no further than what has happened with them, and the their general mental and physical well being, to see where this leads. It won't be an immediate change, but over the course of months and years, you will no longer be the same person. And it won't be for the better. (2) You throw out the baby with the bath water. By becoming tribal in this manner, it leaves no room for your political opponents (whether on "the right" or The Left) to eventually possibly make peace with you and co-exist. We can already see the beginnings of this, by Matt's response to one of James recent QT's of Matt. e.g., "you've chosen your side and there's nothing else for us to ever talk about again" This creates an "all or nothing" situation, which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy should enough people engage with this type of thinking. Should this mindset become dominant among "the right" (it's already commonplace among many on the The Left), polarization would keep escalating more and more, and life would become increasingly dangerous for everyone as a result. **And yes, while it is true that many Woke Leftists are probably too far gone at this point to come back, there are some who could be deradicalized under the right circumstances. I don't know the specific politics of the two Leftists in the videos I have attached, and they could be very well too far gone in some respects, however, given their genuine grief over Charlie's murder, there is reason to believe they could be brought back into the fold eventually. They could potentially become part of the solution given enough time and deradicalization, rather than a permanent opponent. If not them in particular, well, then other Woke Leftists who were shocked by Charlie's murder could be reachable. This is not the same as "uniting with The Left" , which implies compromising bit-by-bit with their evil. We ought not to, and cannot, do that. For the Woke Left fanatics who refuse to give it up their radicalism, they will have to be removed from positions of power should they currently occupy them, and a shift needs to occur such that their radicalism isn't accepted anymore. There is no question that has to happen. We cannot continue to have Woke Left radicals destroy our society.

Demoralization also serves to drag us into "dialectical space". This is meant to destroy our ability to tell: truth from false, real from fake, and, moral truths. They want to ruin our ability to perceive the world around us, and to make us defer to their "experts". (13/60)

We must reject all forms of identity politics. It is unity on a contrived basis. We must reject balkanization, and the political big sort in which people self-segregate into different regions based on their political leanings. We must get talking to each other again. (24/60)
