Systemic Trauma and Harm

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 24

Trauma and harm. Trauma and harm. Harm and trauma. It seems virtually everything Woke these days is justified on the back of some obviously nonsense appeal to “trauma” or “harm.” Schools are arranged as being “safe and welcoming” and “places where everyone feels like they belong” in response to the pervasive “trauma” and “harm” of everything else in society. What’s going on? In Woke Marxism, like everything else, trauma and harm are understood systemically. They’re the result of oppression, which is the result of systemic power, which is the result of the structural stratification of society, which is how Marxists read everything in the world. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down how “systemic trauma and harm” are nothing more than the same old Marxist religious impulse (to undo the Marxist Fall of Man) and latest excuse for seizing power over everything.

    Never mind that there now exists another authoritative non-Marxist source on the all-pervasive phenomenon of trauma and how it affects almost everyone, and its cultural consequences
    Two examples:
    1. When the Body Says No (and other books) by Gabor Mate
    2. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk.
    These findings are also related to the emerging science of epigenetics which posits that almost everyone is affected by the trauma’s experienced by their parents and grandparents, and perhaps as far back as seven generations.
    Furthermore almost everyone is traumatized by what they experience in their mother’s womb, and more importantly the trauma’s during the birthing process, and of course during their childhood altogether when they taught to adjust to our normal dreadful sanity.
    These two references provide the shocking details of such, and their all-the-way-down-the-line cultural consequences.

    Personal trauma is a very real experience that many people share. Criminals like Marx can take advantage of this shared experience. Real trauma will often induce a synthetic hypnotic state in the individual. This helps to create a deep well of irrational thought (and thus potential irrational behavior) in every individual. All kinds of life experiences can trigger the deep sense of helplessness that accompanies so many traumatic events, as well as other irrational reactions.

    Ideologies like CRT give the experiencer of these effects a way to externalize the cause of them. That actual traumatic event often happened in a past life. The ONLY way to solve that is to address the mind of the individual. NO alteration or “improvement” in externalities like workplace environment, social systems, or even pay level, will solve the problem of a triggered past life apathy event.

    CRT only “works” because it feeds off of common experiences. It provides nothing in the way of workable solutions. It only provides a false target to hate or attack. It and all its allied “studies” are socially dangerous, not just bad ideas.

      Larry well said, any bodies wise uncle could say what you said maybe in more simple words but it’s a curious notion to ponder: was Marx aware of the fatal flaw in his ideas??? If he was a criminal what was his motive to advance his ideas? As for the CRT leaders. those who write the literature, you have to wonder if they are just duped and stupid to boot. or is it the thirst for power over others???? Some are raking in a fortune off their books and training. In the end this movement will just wreak and reek havoc on what ever it touches. And then the truly alienated will perhaps carry a deep hostility towards society and be motived to take revenge and submit damage on the society they resent, and place blame on it in promoting the various ”Critical Studies.” subjects to the public. A an old quote from a native Shaman -‘It takes courage to free oneself from the curses and trances of the dark energy in mans mind.”

      I took up weightlifting when I was in the Marines. When I was a civilian I used poor technique deadlifting and ruptured a disk. I went into shock secondary to the nucleus pulpous pressing on a nerve root. Then I felt no excruciating pain. In combat many are traumatized in their first experiences. Overwhelmed by emotional pain so to speak. Various behaviors or lack of behaviors (so to speak) may occur. I agree with you overall. Problem is, sometimes mans inherent genetic wiring/defense mechanisms etc are not always helpful to a given situation. And then – what are all the adverse external stresses we are subjected to now. EMF from all directions, chemical assaults of various varieties, etc. etc. Google Reuters lead in water. Hitler rationalized his behavior until the end. CRT also engenders guilt in many too. I asked a person “If I had relatives that died in the Civil War while fighting for the emancipation of slaves – should I get reparations?’ (Via media he felt he was a spokesman for some group) He stated “that question hasn’t been answered yet.” You are correct – there are no actionable solutions for CRT. But that’s not the point of CRT. Appears it has something to do with divide and conquer.

    I am very new to this site and very impressed, thank you so very much. It is rare to find real thinking of depth and breadth. I have endured a major home invasion and the aftermath, from the courts to the medical to the crazy way one’s life goes at least temporarily sideways as a result. I can testify that it is totally against all reality to believe that one “must” be decimated by such things. There is a weird symbiotic desire in some of those who are specialists in this field, as if they’d like you to be more affected than you are, or at least more affected as they feel you need to be to validate their very existence. This does not mean one does not need empathy for the disruption of life. But it does mean that one is actually hampered and not helped by those who play to the trauma as if it is the sum total of one’s life. Thank you for your thoughts and insights.

    No way or path here to anywhere. People are sad or insecure for a myriad of reasons. This thinking is shallow and insipid, an insult to any person who has an ounce of brains, They will wind up in the loony bin singing looney tunes and talking to the wall.

    In 1997 when celebrity “princess” Diana died, her funeral was live-streamed on giant screens at a sports stadium in my city. Media reported that most of the tens of thousands of attendees apparently were gay men because Diana had some connection with AIDS. Media reported that the local AIDS organization had “emergency trauma counsellors” positioned throughout the stadium to triage the collapsing and hysterical traumatized attendees. While watching this deranged news item on a friend’s tv, I said “I don’t want be gay any more”. He said, “I don’t want to be human any more!” 25 years later, the Trauma Lifestyle continues.

    Here’s a great book deconstructing this concept:
