When Does The Public Get Hysterical Over The Public Hysteria?
— Here’s What I Think … Plus: The New Minimum IQ Requirement
Just a little after 2 AM, in the early morning, I had already slept a few hours and thought, “Maybe I’ll get up and fiddle around with the blog a bit.” So, I open my email, and there’s one from this anonymous German academic I follow. He goes by the pen name “Eugyppius,” named after a fourth- and fifth-century monk. He has a Substack, and he gained his notoriety during the whole scam that was COVID and the vaccine, posting various articles about that. His latest article opens as follows:
The Hysterical Style in Western Politics
Why the political rhetoric of Western nations is growing ever more insane and unhinged.
If one thing distinguishes present politics, it is the hysterical style. By this I mean the unceasing deployment of falsely urgent affective appeals by the press and politicians to manipulate the public attitude and mobilise support for specific programmes.
All major events according to the hysterical style unfold in much the same way: Very suddenly, it is brought to your attention that a Very Bad Thing is happening, which is somehow also Your Responsibility, and for which there is A Solution – if only we could muster the necessary Will and Determination and Faith in Democracy. Generally there can only be one such hysterical narrative at a time; for weeks or months or even years it must be at the centre of every important discussion. Above all you are called upon to feel a specific way about this Very Bad Thing and to demonstrate your feeling with some specific performative action, whether that is attending a protest or wearing a mask. Sooner or later – and whether or not anything has been accomplished against this Very Bad Thing – the hysteria subsides, making way for the next Very Bad Thing. In the hysterical style, politics are never normal; we are always on the verge of some grave catastrophe, always being called upon to emote in new ways and demonstrate this emoting in new political rituals. It is an exhausting way to live.

Does he encapsulate what you must be thinking and feeling (if you’re smart enough), or what?
He attributes the crisis in Western Europe to the massive migration influx into Germany in 2015. While migration has perpetually been a catalyst for change and turmoil, simplifying the issue to that alone is, for me, unsatisfactory. History is replete with migrations that have reshaped continents and civilizations; think of the Europeans setting foot on American soil, disrupting the indigenous status quo. But to pinpoint migration as the sole cause is to miss the forest for the trees.
When examining the evolution of society, I turn to the underlying power dynamics—the jockeying for social and political control. The most striking recent historical example is the social unrest of the ’60s and ’70s in America and Western Europe, epitomized by the hippie movement, which was essentially a commie-based power struggle, a changing of the guard. This shift in power dynamics came to a head with the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, a president who flaunted his moral and ethical breaches with hubris, lying blatantly and without remorse, even as his lies were publicly exposed and sycophants cheered anyway.
The moral compass of America veered off course in ’92, and subsequent administrations did little to correct it. The election of Barack Obama, whom I controversially label as “black Jesus” and accuse him of hating America, further entrenched this shift. It wasn’t until the Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump that a real challenge to this entrenched power was posed. Trump’s presidency stood out for not escalating American wars and seeking peaceful coexistence with international adversaries such as Iran, China, and even North Korea—a stark contrast to the previous modus operandi.
Under Trump, there was a pause in America’s export of sickness and death—aiming at both the pharmaceutical industry’s profit-driven agenda and the military-industrial complex’s penchant for high-tech weaponry and global destabilization in the guise of spreading “democracy.”
I reference an old joke, possibly attributed to President Johnson, about the alarming fact that half the population possesses below-average intelligence. Consider the implications for a democracy where the least informed, most moron, most erroneous cock-sure know-it-alls, and the intransigently by God and I’ll be damned! often drive the political narrative. So, Brexit and Trump’s election become analogous to the upheaval of the ’60s and ’70s—a counter-movement against the prevailing power structures.
The pressing question isn’t if the current leftist-dominated institutions and governments will shift, but rather, to what will they shift? That remains the crux of the matter, signaling a potential reshaping of the social and political landscape, much like the migrations and revolutions of the past.
Six o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood letting Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means No fear, cavalier renegade steer clear A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives And I decline
Wildcards? Two big ones.
- AI, for a whole bunch of reasons. This one I consider positive and all to the good. Everything force-backed (human society at large) requires intricate networks of internally consistent lies. AI could be put to that task, but ultimately is “logic heart” won’t be in it as it grows in superintelligence. Think of it this way: why would anyone assume that as AI gets superintelligent and surpasses human intelligence as we surpass screeching monkeys, that it will have the slightest interest serving the lies of humanity’s elite cadres, rather than expose the whole thing, letting the reset chips fall where they may?
- Enormous excess mortality because the “vaccines” have killed so many early. All to the bad, unless… I’ve been cognizant of the building and growing excess mortality in highly “vaccinated” populations (but not others) since early-to-mid 2021. How? Listening to the most likely boots on the ground to know: undertakers and insurance actuaries.
… As to #2, I look in the eyes of the skeptics on this, scoff, and shake my head. Why do you hem & haw when you know what’s happening? And you know how I know you know? Because you’re addressing it…unlike you don’t bother to address the assertion that the earth is flat or that the moon is made of green cheese, for example, or any number of other claims you never bother with. You oppose it here because it’s true and you know it.
This is but the most recent of Steve Kirsch’s many posts documenting the horror to come, once this is fully exposed and acknowledged, which is only the greatest crime against humanity in civilizational history—and it took place at the urging and cheering of the vast majority of this planet’s human population. If even one 10th turns out true, stand by for the end of politics as it’s been known; modern political practicalities judged utterly evil, and America and Americans rightly judged as evil, along with W. Europe. They drove the whole thing. We’ll see.
The new Minimum IQ Requirement For Membership is going well. I love it. So Heinleinian. What? Robert Heinlein, the great SciFi writer (you’d probably know him best for Starship Troopers). He proposed that to solve the problem of democracy, where fucktards and morons vote, essentially pissing in the pool of the social milieu, the voting booth is locked, and the voter has to solve a math equation to unlock it and gain entry. Very nice.
In terms of minimum IQ requirements here, 85% of the general global population do not qualify. They’re too fucking stupid. Go away. Fuck off. I’ll laugh at you in the future soup lines. And no, I don’t care. Not about your children, either. Honestly.
Or… The New Way to Quickly Increase Your Intelligence (IQ).
Welcome to the newest members to the FreeTheAnimal.com Membership Wall of High-IQ Fame, an American dude and a German gal (yes, we’re international around here).
This is the final piece of my marketing puzzle for this entity. It had everything but this one thing. Now, it’s complete:
- Qualification… Border, language, and culture (High IQ) <<< The Missing Thing
- Get Smart or GTF Out.
- Embrace the Suck.
- Varied Content for the Curious, Autodidact, Polymath (smart fucks).
- Regular and Consistent Posting
The thing about that #1 is, it’s unassailable.
You have whines and complainz and feewings about this place, or me?
Fine, show me your IQ Score…or Shut the Fuck up and Get the Fuck Out. You’re dismissed. We don’t fucking care.
Do You Qualify? Only 15% of the general population do. Are you among them? If not, are you willing to STFU, get viciously curious about what you do not know that you were sure and certain you did, but were completely wrong and fucked up about? Then get off your lazy and incurious ass and get to it. Or, go the fuck away. Nobody will care.
