KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's 1984 warning to the West:

"Ideological subversion…or psychological warfare, what it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent, that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow, and it's divided in four basic stages.

The first one being demoralization. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, expose [them] to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxist-Leninist ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students."

Wow

this phenomena has touched me deeply in my life

this very thing has happened in the Plum Village Zen tradition, hardcore

a vow of not killing which is meant for self reflection and to realize that all beings consume other beings in order to live because that is life, has been coopted into a paragraph on being a vegan

there are 14 vows that have all been slowly modified in this way and the changes increased after TNH had a stroke and more again after he died

as person who has received lay ordination in two Zen traditions, one being Tien Hep (Plum Village), I recite the short and open-minded originals as written by Ven. TNH and reject the rewrites 100% as well as teachers and students in that tradition that follow this trash

oddly and funnily, one of the vows is not to try to force others to believe your views, which they ignore of course

PS the background pic on my profile is the view from Vulture Peak in India where and when I ordained in the PV lineage. it makes me happy and sad

#demoralization is the process of making someone lose confidence, enthusiasm, and hope

#doomers are extremely pessimistic or fatalistic about global problems such as overpopulation, peak oil, climate change, ecological overshoot, pollution, nuclear weapons, and runaway artificial intelligence

What is your point?

the point is that it is sadly working

there is a whole 'doomers' generation as evidence of that

Ok. Yes. And communists!
