The Hegelian Dialectic perfectly illustrated in a Far Side comic

May 2023

I won't bother turning this into a book report on the 19th century German philosopher Hegel as I am not interested in doing so. The Hegelian Dialectic is used to manipulate people into adopting certain behaviors. It is defined as the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis pattern, but is better understood in other words as the Problem-Reaction-Solution pattern. It isn't something unusual, and people do it in their daily lives.

I will be honest and admit to employing the Hegelian dialectic as an example of bad parenting. Once when our daughter Ulan was still a tiny girl when we lived in Fuji several years ago, she was carrying on and would not stop crying. So the behavior I wanted from her was to stop crying, obviously. We were afraid that her screaming was a nuisance to our neighbors, so I created a problem. While Mayu was trying to talk Ulan into calming down, I went to the entrance hall of our apartment and knocked on our door. This got her attention. I came back and said, "Oh no! It's our neighbor next door! You have to be quiet!" What i did was I created a problem for Ulan. Her reaction was that she was startled by this and it forced her to consider her behavior. The end result is that she finally stopped crying. This was a crappy thing to do, and it was not fair to our neighbor, who I hope did not overhear what I did. I would argue that most parents resort to the Hegelian Dialectic though, the way they use Santa Claus to manipulate their kids into good behavior by threatening them with the thought of not getting presents when the true meaning of Christmas is all about love, family, and giving.

The traditional model is the following:

Problem -> Reaction -> Solution

Essentially, that which is referred to as th e Hegelian Dialectic, as it is used, is traditional problem solving in reverse, in which you already have a solution and must create a problem that would cause a reaction leading people to your solution.

This old Far Side comic perfectly illustrates the Hegelian Dialectic at work. Now think of how this is played out in our lives on the TV news.

Brick through window = COVID. Purchasing new glass window = signing away freedoms to medical tyranny. Or how about this: brick through window = 9/11. Purchasing new glass window = signing away freedoms to the Patriot Act, big boom for the military industrial complex, establishing a world bank in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc.

Have you heard of Operation Northwoods? I first heard about it from watching the Alex Jones show. The Joint Chiefs of Staff presented JFK with a plan for CIA assets to conduct false flag terrorist attacks on US citizens and kill them, making it seem like Cuba was to blame. This was to gin up support to go to war with Cuba. So the Hegelian Dialectic was to take the solution (war with Cuba) and create a problem that would cause a reaction to lead people to supporting that solution. Fortunately, JFK rejected Operation Northwoods, but remember he was also later assassinated. This is the same President who threatened to shatter the CIA into pieces, challenged the Federal Reserve, and warned about shadowy, secret societies which aim to undermine the country. But Operation Northwoods set a precedent for future strategies, namely 9/11. Replace Cuba with Muslims and there you go. Now look at all of those countries that have accepted a central banking system as a result of the USA's meddling policies in those countries.

The Hegelian Dialectic is used to entrap us and lead us into predetermined outcomes. But think of Luke Skywalker's predicament in Return of the Jedi. The Emperor wanted Luke to become his servant. The Rebel Fleet was in danger, and Luke was trapped into believing that the only way he could save the Alliance was to strike down the Emperor in vengeance. But by doing so, he would be opening himself up to the Dark Side, which is how his fater had become Darth Vader. It is important to note that Luke Skywalker did not defeat the Emperor until he cast aside his lightsaber and refused to kill his father. By doing so, he took himself out of the Hegelian Dialectic that the Emperor had created. Once he refused to comply and cooperate, that is when the Emperor's machinations came down on him and he was destroyed by his own servant. In the end, Luke avoided the temptation to go down the path of the Dark Side.

In the same way, we cannot escape the Hegelian Dialectics that the elites conceive to control us. The only way to defeat these traps is to refuse to cooperate. The problem is that the normies are sheep, and they get all upset and capitulate. "Oh my gosh, a cold virus is going to kill us all unless we wear useless masks that don't do a thing and get dangerous injections that don't even prevent the spread of infection? I need to do whatever it takes to save myself and everyone, even if it means embracing totalitarianism!" Early on, I saw that this whole COVID feldercarb was nothing more than psychological manipulation and brainwashing to get people scared to death of some new virus they had little chance of dying from, because people don't even realize that the common flu virus already kills thousands of people each year without anyone paying attention to it because the media never mentions this. As for me and my family, we never took any injections and we've been healthy this whole time while those around us kept getting sick. And now finally those people are slowly beginning to realize that they got duped into becoming scared over nothing. If they had just turned their stupid TV off from the beginning, most probably would not have been affected in a major way and all of these lockdowns, decimated businesses, skyrocketing unemployment, and teen suicides would not have happened.

And whether it's leftists getting freaked out over carbon dioxide molecules or conservatives getting worked up over some mentally ill tranny on a beer can (the existence of which is only known through a single photo, as far as I know), it's this sort of crap that herds us into hating each other and distracting us from focusing our energies on those who are responsible for creating all of these problems. They are the reason why we have inflation, unemployment, the eradication of the middle class, a disasterous education system resulting in hideous crime rates, etc.

The question is, haven't people learned enough to realize that they need to stand up to things like a digital currency that would eradicate our freedoms, or will they simply embrace it because they are made to be afraid of some scare tactic? Have people truly forgotten about the whole Epstein's Island thing? Because the people who are running this sick show are the ones who've been there.
