Just a quick shout out in case anyone is looking for some reading material to make sense of the metastasizing crazy. Harrison Koehli at Political Ponerology is a friend to this blog. This is from his about page:
Political Ponerology is the underground classic book by Polish psychologist Andrew M. Lobaczewski. This is the first substack to be devoted exclusively to elucidating and expanding on its content, written by the editor of the new revised, expanded edition.
Political ponerology is the scientific study of political evil. Along the way, we will cover: psychopathy and other personality disorders, mass hysteria, other psychological phenomena, secular cycles, ideology, propaganda, totalitarianism, and more.
Inspired by Jay Rollins and John Carter he wrote about tonic masculinity too.
He also writes about symbology, spirit, mythology etc, which is also a focus of this substack.
Jordan Peterson quoted Political Ponerology recently, in the context of the witch hunt he is dealing with, the Ontario College of Psychologists ordering him to go through re-education and get right with woke ideology or lose his license.
I highly recommend Harrison’s substack. Here is a link to the book.

Thanks for the boost, Hunter!
Political Ponerology is such an essential book for understanding what's going on. And Harrison knows it inside out and backwards. Highly recommend both his substack and the book! See here: https://www.amazon.com/Political-Ponerology-Science-Psychopathy-Totalitarianism/dp/1734907452
