The Demonic Infestation of the Left Part I: Nobody Gets In Without An Invitation

[kimberlysteele]

 I believe that the Left as we know it is plagued by demons.  I realize that most people don't have an opinion on demons as they probably don't believe in them.  I also fully acknowledge, as always, that I could be wrong.  I believe the average leftist is beset by ancient, non-embodied creatures of exceptional power and cunning.  These creatures are called demons and their key characteristics are:

1. They dwell on a plane that is best described as "lower" or more dense than the planes upon which we can perceive the world around us.  They have been with us since time began; in fact, they seem to be a much older race of beings than humans.  Qabbalists say are outcasts or shells leftover from a previous Universe. 
2. They hate humankind and are simultaneously jealous of us.  They will do whatever they can to trick us and hurt us, whether this is individually or in large groups.  Because of their intense hatred of mankind, when they do choose to interact with us, it tends to be with us acting as the host and them acting as the parasite.
3. They absolutely cannot be defeated by sinking to their dense and scummy level; in fact, the only thing they are afraid of is when we align ourselves with higher and more complex forces who can and will squelch their activities.

 In the upcoming series of essays, I plan on explaining my theory that individual leftists are suffering from severe demonic obsession, which is a symptom of a greater disease of demonic possession that afflicts the Left as a group.  The Left is not the first group of people to be possessed by demons and it certainly won't be the last.  

Demonic Obsession Vs. Demonic Possession

Demonic obsession is different than classic demonic possession, where the victim is able to contort their body in strange ways, can speak languages they've never heard before, and barks obscenities day and night.  Demonic obsession can be just as deadly as demonic possession, but in general it is far more subtle, contagious, and therefore more insidious than possession.  The demonically obsessed are best described as herd narcissists who refuse to engage in any form of self-reflection or self-analysis.  They are consumed by hatred, but because of their willful ignorance of their own motivations, will project the shadow onto the hated Other and in turn be eaten alive by repressed anger at their own hypocrisy and dissonance.  Their external dialogue becomes one of censorship, because internally they are censoring their own dissonance.  This is where demons can enjoy an energy buffet of anger and spiraling despair as the obsessed person walls herself off from redemption and seeks ever new lows of depravity in which to devolve.  For instance, leftists who could not censor their own projected shadow in the form of racism (theirs happens to be anti-white racism) have sunk to a new lowest common denominator of endorsing Black Lives Matter rioters and looters.  Five years ago, they would not have been debased enough to say "theft and vandalism is OK", but given enough time to immerse themselves in the demonic, they're boldly and publicly signing on to demonic behavior.  

In the 1980s, it was ironically the Christian Right that became demon-possessed as a group. Herd narcissism in the name of Jesus manifested itself in conservative rhetoric and leadership.  The entity being appeased wasn't Jesus.  Jesus said "By their fruits ye shall know them."  Mentally ill people were dumped into the streets en masse by an arms dealing, junta-funding Reagan as the Christian right hoarded wealth for itself and covered up the priestly class's child molestation habits. Just like the Left projects its own shadow now and then proceeds to melt down in paranoid hysteria, the Right was once known for doing the same thing.  The Left has its pet boogeymen of the Patriarchy, racism, fascism, and COVID to panic over where the Right once had illegal drugs, abortion, and the Satanic Panic to splatter upon headlines and newscasts.  The Right was once the go-to source for Luciferian arrogance and complete intolerance of dissenting views.  Factions among the Right still cling to the old bon mots of anti-drug and anti-abortion paranoia, but for the present time, these cause celebres are considered somewhat vestigial and out of date.  

"But Kimberly," you say, "These actions by groups are just par for the course human failings, not the grandiose actions of a supernatural demonic force."  There is a fine line where normal human foibles end and demonic influences begin, and that line isn't easy to detect.  Demonic obsession isn't in-your-face like demonic possession, but that does not make it illegitimate.  The path of herd narcissism and its accompanying arrogance is what Dion Fortune described as the Left-Hand Path.  The Left-Hand Path leads towards devolution, simplification, and decay.  It is the path of dismantling, breaking down, and going backwards.  When a person or a group of people make the decision (whether consciously or subconsciously) to blindly pursue power and the rush it provides at all costs, they have entered the Left-Hand Path.  The Left-Hand Path also happens to attract demons, who are more than happy to assist with the devolutionary process and feed upon its cast off energy.  

The Invitation

Nevertheless, as I said in the title of this essay, nobody gets in without an invitation.  Demonic possession does not happen by itself.  The perverse truth about demonic possession is that it is always initially allowed by the possessed person, no matter how badly they regret their decision later.  Folklore points in this direction: the vampire who cannot cross the threshold of the house without being invited, the fairies who cannot keep the mortal within their realm unless he chooses to eat fairy food.  Tragic, horrific, and deadly possessions like that of Anneliese Michel (the true story that became the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose) and of "Roland Doe" (the true story that became the film The Exorcist) could not happen without the acquiescence of the victim in the beginning stages.  In the Michel case, the door was probably opened by Anneliese's disproportionate, dysmorphic sense of Catholic guilt -- she often slept on a cold, hard floor in an attempt to atone for the sins of others.  It is easy to imagine her inviting a demon into her psyche if it promised to grant her the power of truly paying for the sins of others.  Some victims of possession invite the demon in because they believe the demon will give them goodies and toys God would not grant.  I think for many of the possessed, I think their initial welcome of demons is simply a matter of wanting desperately to be the center of attention.  

In the case of the religious Right, their invitation was spurred by their naked lust for power.  Their domineering, one size fits all approach to worship and cantankerous declamations of judgement for anyone who dared stray outside their warped interpretation of Bible theory laid out a welcome mat for entities promising millions of converts and undue influence on economic policy.  The price tag -- completely turning their backs on the authentic teachings of Jesus Christ -- never occurred to them until it was too late.  By the 1990s, the hypocrisy of the religious Right was a caricature: Dana Carvey as The Church Lady, morbidly concerned about what other people did in the privacy of their own bedrooms and utterly convinced the average person was destined to fry in eternal hell.

Belief in the Unseen Hand

In the case of the largely atheist and secular Left, the promise of infinite Progress was the demonic lure.  Just as Christians believe God will deliver them, atheists believe in the power of the free market or Progress will grant their wishes, and if not the wishes, the wishes of their descendants.  The bottom line is both the hyper-religious and the anti-religious don't believe they have to act in the concrete, material world for the result of their will to appear.  If they want a thing fervently and it fails to appear, the religious person turns to more fervent prayer and the thought-stopper "God works in mysterious ways". The atheist cements his resolve in the thought-stopper that God does not exist.  Belief in any power higher than oneself and one's will becomes an insult to humanism.  Both the atheist and the Christian believe in the Unseen Hand.  There is zero discernment or refinement of one's own intentions.  There is no aim or construction of concrete actions to move toward the desired goal.  God and/or Progress is a cosmic Santa Claus and it's all supposed to happen by magic like it does in Harry Potter.

Muddled intentions draw the atheist and the Christian into a place of deep and embittered narcissism.  Lonely and arrogant, the believer thinks he is at the top of an elite pile of intellectual superiority when he is actually blind and in the corner of a maze.  Like the avant garde musician with his "music" of electronic fart noises and random clinking of keys, there is the delusion of achievement.  From this vantage point, animism is impossible, because it involves the acknowledgement and respect of powers who are either indifferent or possibly superior to one's own self.  The Evangelical Christian doesn't allow for the world to be imbued with a spiritual, non-corporeal ecosystem, because all instances of ghosts, fairies, or gods other than the Christian one are manifestations of the Devil.  The atheist similarly dismisses the non-corporeal ecosystem because non-physical phenomena are not allowed according to materialist science. Without the basic "magical Kindergarten" of recognizing non-corporeal entities and the spirit of place, the believer in atheism and the Christian are spiritually stunted and ripe for demonic obsession.  To make matters worse, they may be trapped in an egotistical imbalance of trying to write the spiritual equivalent of a symphony before they have written a three-chord song.  

Thought-stoppers as Preparation for Demonic Infestation

Using binary thought-stoppers in the Christian sense (there is God and everything else is the Devil) or in the atheist sense (God doesn't conform to my expectations, therefore God does not exist) naturally open those using the thought-stoppers to demonic obsession.  For those enveloped in the Progress narrative, their struggles are not learning opportunities for improvement because God in the guise of Progress owes them an easy life, however, God does not exist.  In their minds, they are always bargaining for a better deal, whether it is the Evangelical using the cosmic vending machine approach to prayer or the atheist, who is compelled to amass all the goodies because "you only live once".  They are reaching out to someone, but it's not the someone they were expecting.  

Enter demons.  Demons can feed upon entire groups, in fact, I believe this is the way they prefer to feed.  Why settle for a single, troubled pre-teen in a country backwater when you can have entire football stadiums of crazed lunatics to suck  energy from?  The religious Right used to provide the juicy hysteria and vile behavior preferred by demons, whether it was via the energetic Prosperity Gospel sermons of Joel Osteen to fill Mammon's tanks or the picketing of fallen soldiers funerals by the Westboro Baptist Church to satisfy the appetites of Galamiel.  

The Left, having thrown away all but the pretenses of helping the working class, has signed a deal in blood with what it thinks is the promise of infinite Progress.  Leftists put their faith in career politicians for the span of more than 40 years, only to find their cluelessness blowing up in their face in an unexpected age of populism.  Thought-stoppers opened it to demonic possession as a group and demonic obsession as individuals.  There is no mystery in the race towards the bottom of current leftist behavior: the parasites feeding on their addled minds and spirits yank the strings and tell them to riot, to shout obscenities, to scream in to the air, and by all means necessary to avoid self-reflection.  

Invitation is only the first foray of demons into the Left.  I see demonic infestation as a five part process, which is why you can expect this post to turn into a series.  The five phases of demonic infestation are:

1. The Invitation.  Consent is the sine qua non of any demonic infestation.  It may happen by trickery and guile but there is always consent.  

2. The Honeymoon Phase.  Demons are great liars and they promise glory.  This is the glow phase of the relationship before the parasite/host relationship takes its inevitable turn.

3. Numbness and Fracture.  The personality splits and infighting begins.  The host is beginning to diminish.

4. Acute Possession and Derangement.  The war is in full throttle and only one side will win.  The demon is fighting for its place and the host is fighting for their life.

5. Aftermath.  What can be expected both in terms of blowback and thoughts on strategies for protecting oneself from the demonically obsessed.  

 Thanks for reading my essays.  I look forward to your comments.  If you do choose to comment, please refrain from the use of obscenities.

A strange synchronicity

In other words, it's actually racist to oppress demons. Yes, you got that right, #DLM.

Re: A strange synchronicity

[(Anonymous)]

Is it actually strange?

Christianity has been under assault in western countries for decades, in no small part due to the attitudes outlined above. In fact, the behavior of the authoritarian right through the 80s to 00s left Christianity open to these lines of attack.

I at one time might have believed that leftists were simply taking umbrage with all religion and its corrupting influences, but the fact of the matter is that when it comes to the line and you try to get them to denounce the evils of other religions they will call you a "racist" for noticing that other people hold equally objectionable beliefs and organize societies around them.

Re: A strange synchronicity

Wow. They've really gone off their trolleys, haven't they? Hilarious how they changed the "demon" from a brownish skinned man to a white skinned man to make it more palatable, then tumbled down the slippery slope to #DLM.

In this post he uncovers the links between the Skeptical/Atheist movement in liberalism, their links to the intelligence services, and their interest in paedophilia. He connects this to the modern woke movement towards transhumanism/transgenderism.

Found this through JMG. There is apparently a horror film called "The Purge" which is very similar to recent real life events. During the incident in St Louis with the armed couple, one of the White protesters mimicked the mannerisms of the Purge leader from the film! At least if Twitter is to be believed...

I'm somewhat familiar with radical leftists, haven't seen anything like this before. The peaceful protests look like Christian revivals, the riots like a stereotypical mob from a really bad dystopian film (or in some cases parody of the same).

Bizarre!

Tidlösa, Sweden

[kimberlysteele]

Yes, that's a real film. Basically what we have in leftists is an entire group of people whose solipsism (and inability to do anything but sit on their couches consuming Netflix and Amazon Prime movies) has convinced them they're the badass antiheroes of the Apocalypse. Somebody needs to tell them those films aren't real, and that nobody's looking for the LARP version by a bunch of out of shape couch potatoes...

I think it's often anti-Black racism, too. These people are extremely hypocritical...

One hundred percent. The worst of the worst are the Justin Timberlakes, Eminems, Meghan Trainors, and Iggy Azaleas of the world who go so deep into liberal pandering mode, they speak and sing in Ebonics. The left being what it is, of course all four of these white people are currently on the poop list of the truly woke. The charge? Cultural appropriation. https://tinyurl.com/y7teom9n I'm sure the last thing Timberlake wants to seem is racist, but by trying WAY too hard, he comes off as racist as well as deeply insecure.

Having put a lot of effort into contemplating this stuff for a good long while now, it's very encouraging to find that someone else has done the same, and come to pretty much the same conclusions about the internal dynamics of this (really scary) phenomenon as I have. This is seriously good stuff, Kim, please continue to churn out more. This material needs to be out there.

Sven Eriksen

[kimberlysteele]

Thank you Sven! It is scary. I'm glad I'm doing the Sphere of Protection (SoP) every day because I have needed it, especially for this glimpse into the Abyss. I don't think it is any coincidence that rabid leftists parrot everything they see on MSNBC and CNN -- TV is and always was demonic and portions of the internet, such as online porn, that have taken its place are arguably worse. We are in a bad place, and the majority who does zero zilcho to protect itself is the untrained infantry at the front of a spiritual war, flailing about without shields or guns.

Antifa Peeing in Cop Cars

[kimberlysteele]

You can't make this stuff up. One symptom of demonic possession is the release of bodily fluids upon the enemy, hence the barfing/pooping/peeing trope of the possessed in the Exorcist.

The latest Antifa tactic is to spontaneously urinate in police cars so the car is taken out of commission for cleaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfqukoAJUdw

Re: Antifa Peeing in Cop Cars

[(Anonymous)]

Would you expect demons to adhere to human contrived laws of war?

It is worth noting that biological weapons are prohibited by international law, and one could reasonably construe weaponized excrement as a biological weapon.

Of course, one also could construe the use of violence to enact political ends on the part of non-state actors to be terrorism. Antifa does appear to benefit from a certain amount of "white privilege" in that there is not wall-to-wall coverage of "terrorist activities" committed by them, and they are mostly white kids with guilty consceinces. I wonder what spell they are under to get that kind of a pass?

Are you familiar with the afrocentrist occultists?

[(Anonymous)]

A year or so back, I found the rabbit hole of afrocentrist occultism. It's fairly wide ranging in both theology and rhetoric, but a very common trope among them is a mixture of Hermeticism and Goetia. These may or may not be mixed with anti-white hate and conspiracy theories about white people being the sub human creations of an evil scientist, depending on the particular practitioners. Some of them believe that there was a time where unimaginable magical technology was available to historical Africans, until they were overrun by the primitive whites who came to enslave them.

In this light, I think it is no surprise at all that there are calls to declare science itself as "racist." It is indeed a push to return humanity to a pre-scientific state of being. To remove all progress made and materially worsen living conditions, dressed up in terms of liberation.

Tying this back to the premise here, certainly a few of the Goetia demons are re-imagined old gods given a sensational makeover. However, I'm hard pressed to find much good that's come from people purporting to champion its use, aside from some fairly inspired movie and video game plotlines. I think it says something about a political movement that welcomes this influence as anything beyond a cautionary tale.

Re: Are you familiar with the afrocentrist occultists?

[kimberlysteele]

No, I was not familiar with them... Wow, they're setting themselves up for a fall. Sounds to me like the straight-up worship of the demons of the Qlippoth, regardless of the glitter and beads they've tried to dress them up with. Considering the rich history of black occultism like what JMG has been writing essays about lately, it's absolutely tragic that anyone would be roped in by such trash.

Re: Are you familiar with the afrocentrist occultists?

Intriguing, sounds like a polytheist-Satanist version of the Nation of Islam. /Tidlösa

[(Anonymous)]

Your five phases sound very much like the phases that occur within any "relationship" with a narcissist (or any dark triad personality). I'd say that "the consent" (invitation) is dubious though in many cases and needs some explanation to prevent undue victimblaming.
The 'demons' are conartists of the highest level and exploit the fact that 'normal' minds simply cannot imagine the level of evil they are faced with. Especially the most pure and innocent beings are at risk of becoming prey, and are in fact the most prized 'catches' for the demon. And it these pure beings that will suffer extremely at their hands.
So, the 'ordinary minds' who comply with the demons demands can be said to be too apathetic and ignorant to even care. And can be called perpetrators more than victims.
But the really innocent, the pure, are the real victims, and will suffer tremendous pain, even if they escape (saved by their very strength/vulnerability). The upside is that these innocents will now have learned to shield themselves from the unthinkable.

[kimberlysteele]

Fascinating analogy. A majority of the most awful cases of straight up demonic possession seem to happen to children and teens. In my next essay, I am going to argue that kids in American public schools, especially the ones in cities, suffer from mass demonic possession.

[emmanuelg]

Very interesting!
In my own experience with Christian Calvinists many years ago, I eventually got to the 'leadership training seminars' part of the experience. I was amazed to discover that the pastor and the leaders of the elders and deacons apparently did not believe in God, or had given up on the idea that there was any possibility of finding out what God's will was, or being able to follow God.
You are spot on in your description of their motives here as lust for power and wealth--At least for the church I went to at that time.

[kimberlysteele]

Funny, I'm not surprised by that.

I went to a holiday worship service in one of my affluent area's McChurches. I was left cold by the preacher's Erma Bombeck schtick mixed in with desperate, random pleas for us to get right with God via the Bible. From the feelings inside, the church felt like all the parishioners believed in God but whoever was at the top, paying for the church to exist, did not.

[methylethyl]

It feels very validating to see others notice the parallels between the old moral-majority right and the current sjw left. I have been saying for months that my lefty friends' apocalyptic OMG Trump is the end of our world mood reminds me viscerally of the 90s Waco/Ruby Ridge/OKC/clinic-bombing mood on the right, even down to the rumors that Clinton would declare martial law and never leave office, and the nasty, oily energy that rolled off some of the big names like Hal Lindsey and Jerry Falwell. I lived in that scene and saw it up close. And the left currently bears an astonishing resemblance, just with the names changed.

I hope this means they're headed for the same fate of irrelevancy. And soon.

[kimberlysteele]

Thank you ever so much for noticing that! That's why I mentioned the Christian Church Lady Right of the 80s. I lived through it too and their hegemony of monocultured chemical lawns, gay conversion therapy, purity rings, and rock music warning labels seemed like it could never end.

This too shall pass.

Some Questions

[syfen]

Kimberly,

I'm going to come out say that I'm desperately trying to avoid coming off as a concern troll here, but I fear that I'm going to increasingly sound like one as I push back against narratives in your article.

That isn't to say that I disagree with your points, quite the contrary. I too see and accept the influence of parasitic spiritual entities in our society, but I differ only in that I feel that they are prevelent across the whole spectrum of politics, and that the arrival of these entities is quite normal.

In the vedic tradition the Ashuras aren't "evil," in the biblical sense. They exist as part of the ecosystem, and it is their Dharma to perform the activities they perform. They aren't "left overs" as Fortuna and others call them, but living entities that are wholly a part of the cycles of creation and destruction. In that sense I believe that the on going destruction or simplification of the left-wing ecosystem, similar to what happened to the right, is a necessary part of the process. It is unquestionable that the left-wing biome that is composed of education, think tanks, NGOs, corporations, and etc... is far too complex to survive in a resource poor environment. What we are witnessing is a part of the destructive cycle.

Now the part that's going to sound like concern trolling.

I'm really, really worried about so many trained occultists demonizing people. I fully understand that much of the destruction that we're witnessing is unnecessary and unwarranted, but where do we draw the line? For example quite a few cities in the south have voted to remove confederate statues. Is that demonic or a justified use of democratic power? What about the current protests against Mt.Rushmore? The Lakota have actual legal standing and a host of historical reasons to protest that mountain, and the nationalistic rhetoric that accompanies it. Demonic or legitimate? Even many of the reforms that have been spoken against on Archdruid Greer's forums, like "Abolish the Police," have solid policy foundations under the political rhetoric. Is this demonic or legitimate?

What then, do we make of the people on the other side of the political spectrum that are calling for violence against the protesters, who engage in endless contemplation of the SJWs?

I guess I'm trying to figure out how do we distinguish between a demon host group mind and a legitimate political cause?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Regards,

Syfen

Re: Some Questions

[kimberlysteele]

All good points, Syfen, thank you for your thoughtful comments.

Unfortunately, there's no way we can figure out a demon's mind because it's just too complex for us to understand. Of course there is the danger of unfairly demonizing others. Leftists need to worry, and not about occultists like me.

For instance, what tends NOT to get discussed on JMG's blogs is Pedogate. Pedogate is a huge rallying point of the Christian right at the current moment. Take this cringefest of a video from Hollywood:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdsmxzaHtSQ&lc=UgyT4wq-QaBszpWX-N54AaABAg

Now notice how many of the top comments mention pedophilia, Epstein, and Weinstein. Ghislaine Maxwell's recent arrest re-opened the Pedogate can of worms that COVID and riots were designed to steal attention from... that's the way Pedogaters see it. There are huge factions aligning against the Left and most leftists haven't the faintest clue about this because they won't allow a conversation about Pedogate. All this does is to drive people to talk about it obsessively out of the company of leftists. And it makes them seem guilty to those who would demonize them all as Satanic pedophiles. Hollywood celebrities have never been more unpopular. The video I linked to has over 60K dislikes. Because we have not been able to talk openly and honestly about Pedogate, the average person suspects every single Hollywood player of being in an elite, Satanic cult, which in my opinion is absurd. But since we can't talk about it and Epstein conveniently never went to trial, many common people believe in an overarching system run by baby-eating devil worshippers.

In the opener of this post, I said "They absolutely cannot be defeated by sinking to their dense and scummy level; in fact, the only thing they are afraid of is when we align ourselves with higher and more complex forces who can and will squelch their activities." The point of these essays is to try and explain why harassing and/or hurting leftists will only serve to feed the demons, provided there are demons.

There is a group of my former friends, who are "experienced feminist witches." The head of the group is a long time practicing Core Shaman who is firmly convinced that Trump is Satan and that the Republicans are his minions.

The CS would hold yearly conjure dances to bring the Gods to the assembled groups. One year they were contacted by the Sumerian God of the Underworld, who attended their dance. Well, the Sumerian Goddess of the Underworld doesn't leave it for nobody, nohow. You go to Her. So, who or what came to them?

The same group are very sure of themselves in their insanity which they lay at the feet of Christian extremists who tried to hex Washington D.C. in 2011. Long story. Anyway, since then they have grown more insane and sure in their thinking.

What struck me is that they are very cavalier when it comes to Gods. The Gods are archetypes when they are not. Try figuring that out. They like to call down Gods to do their bidding whatever it is. Their Gods are the feminist version of whatever.

And yes, they do the Handmaiden thing. They are heroic victims. It is someone else's fault that they are where they are. But they keep up the good fight against the Patriarchy.

Re: I believe it

[kimberlysteele]

Trump is Satan yet they are literally trying to get the Sumerian Goddess of the Underworld to come to their parties.

I have (had?) a vegan friend who doesn't claim to be any sort of occultist, yet has done hexes and witchcraft lite stuff against Trump and his cronies. She absolutely shuts down when I mention blowback and perhaps meditating upon one's intentions (discursive meditation). Her home life is falling apart, and it's almost like she is under attack when you look at the escalating misfortunes that have fallen upon her and her family in recent years. Accidents, chronic diseases, just total crap. Basically the stuff she continues to wish on Trump and his people...

The Handmaid's Tale stuff is SO TRANSPARENT. They want the Islamic Republic/1984. They have truly convoluted ways of running away from their own complicity in current events. If they actually cared so much about oppressed women, why aren't they speaking against Islamic oppression? Margaret Atwood used real events to write that story, and those events are ongoing. Nope, instead they wore pink hats and fumed over Trump's ancient locker room banter. Then they got schooled when Creepy Uncle Joe was charged with going through the actions of what Trump only talked about. Not to mention their vigorous shielding of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Hillary Clinton.

[ari_ormstunga]

Hi Kimberly, I read your essay with interest. One thing I really appreciate about it is that it acknowledges the similar mindset that existed on the right (in fact, I’m far from sure that it ever went away). That unthinking demonization of the other and scapegoating of certain groups I was a part of (old school Dungeons & Dragons player, comic book reader and heavy metal fan, from back when those things got you labeled Satanic and evil) led to me having a serious distaste for Evangelicals and Republicans. That said, I very much recognize the same behaviors occurring on the left now, and as a white straight male (with white male children) I find the social justice movement to be as threatening, insidious, and unpalatable as they were. I suspect that demons are still active and thriving on both extremes of the political spectrum; the people on the left just have the most mass media support right now for various reasons. I would also add that most of the leftists I know truly regard Trump and the populist movement as being evil, and perhaps the tactics they are using against their enemies (social ostracism, boycotts, attempts to de-platform political rivals) are the most effective ones they’ve found, since they have (so far) largely eschewed taking up arms. That said, I’m looking forward to reading the rest of your series!

Came from JMG!

[(Anonymous)]

Hey Kimberly! I was the one who asked you about this topic over at magic monday. I also watched your Youtube video about your #walkaway and appreciated hearing about your perspective. I recently got "canceled" I guess you could say by my strongly SJW cousin, for admitting to her in a private conversation that I'm not subscribing to all the Leftist ideals. I had been part of a "spiritual" group that she started online. As soon as she learned that I am thinking for myself (and was therefore unwilling to partake with blind rage in the "Orange Man Bad" screeching, amidst calls for a communist government, without raising a few questions) she proactively pulled up the group and blocked me from it, as if threatened by my very presence. It struck me as interesting, this immediate urge to cancel, censor, and cut out any possibility of discourse. Obviously it wasn't the right place for me to be anyway so it's not a disappointment. It is concerning, though, the certainty with which this ideology permits the complete dissolution of free speech. Seems possible that these potential demonic energies want to safeguard their host from seeing life through anyone else's perspective.

Re: Came from JMG!

[kimberlysteele]

Wow, blocked her own cousin? That's harsh. What SJWs don't seem to understand is that we can cancel them as well, and that there are far more of us than there are people who want to defund the police and destroy statues of abolitionists, even if they scream and we only whisper. I have personally cancelled several leftists. A group recently wanted me to help them host an event. I declined because I knew at least one Antifa or Black Lives Matter supporter would attend and if someone supports either of those terrorist organizations, I want nothing to do with them. A BLM member recently shot a 24 year old Indiana woman in the face, orphaning her young son. This was for the "crime" of saying all lives matter. Black Lives Matter is a violent anti-white racist death cult and I'd no sooner hang out with them then I would hang out with a group of Aghori human excrement and corpse eaters.

I have published parts II and III of the series, BTW. They are tagged "demons".
