And here is the nice fellow:
Old farts will remember the use and abuse of the word back when cults were the #1 enemy of the US. And grant you, we had some really shitty ones like the Jim Jones’ Socialists People’s Temple with the mass suicides and murders in Guyana, but for the most part, lots of groups tagged with the cult brand were just regular folks who differed in their way of praying from what was accepted by the DotGov and other members of society. There were stories about people in these cults, usually from well-to-do families, that were forcefully rescued (kidnapped) by hired hands and taken to Deprogrammers who through different techniques (Room 101 anyone?) would “delete” the teachings of the Cult and make them members of normal society again.
The first thing you have to understand abut deprogramming is that the intended target will be confined against his/her wishes. Individual rights need to be expunged to “heal you” but don’t worry: You are sick and they know better. Freedom is a luxury.
Deprogramming does not work without heavy coercion. Your freedom of movement is eliminated, your right top speak freely is prohibited. You will be subjected to interrogation and confrontations because you may worship differently. You have no rights so do not claim them. You are there to be broken down and “rebuilt.”
Now, all I just mentioned was done by private individuals paid by worried families who thought their loved one was going to start chugging Kool Aid with cyanide. Some less-than scrupulous people preyed on those fears and committed all kinds of crimes, federal and state, in order to cash big time under the banner of “saving people from cults.” I seem to vaguely recall a case of two where people were prosecuted for doing the deprogramming thing, but I do not remember specifics.
So that is what you can expect from deprogramming as the asshole above suggests. And there is always the old example of ultimate deprogramming when the Democrats are in the White House.
Sure as hell those Branch Davidians got cured! Right?
Possibly soon some of these types will get deprogrammed from 500 yards out…. from a place you will not see….ect ect
But it sounds so much better than “political re-education camps.”
Also sounds better than concentration camp or gulag.
Never forget that the only US concentration camps were created by a Democrat president. By their most sainted president, in fact. And with the collaboration of the US Supreme Court. “Korematsu” is right up there with “Dred Scott”, though much more rarely mentioned, for obvious reasons.
Once in the hands of the
Gestapodeprogrammers, you will have no rights. Food, clothing, warmth, bathroom breaks, sleep, and even life itself are all privileges that will have to be earned by being cooperative and admitting the error of your ways. Even when (if) you are “allowed” to be a “useful” citizen, you will be under constant surveillance to ensure you don’t backslide.The arrogance of these people on the left never fails to amaze me.
Yes, I make the claim that leftists are children, but that claim comes with the statement that children will learn when they suffer the consequences of their actions. Perhaps it is a well timed spanking, or perhaps it is being forced to repay your student loan. Whatever.
At no point do I declare that the leftists need to be “re-educated” or “deprogrammed.” And, that is the difference. I am OK with them as they are, they are not OK with me they way I am. I need to be altered to fit their ideal.
I’m sure if he concentrates long enough, he’ll come up with an idea. Maybe some sort of camps?
The funny thing is that he’ll probably among the first people put into the re-education camp, if not outright shot.
Nah. He’s high enough in the Party now he’ll have a few years to live.
