Mark these words: a cashless society will inevitably unleash the demonetisation demon.

Demonetisation is an online extension of demonisation.

Currently, demonetising a person means stopping them from earning an income online.

More evident, post-“plandemic”, this form of cancel culture is THE favoured form of punishment deployed by Big Tech and the Meta Majority.

I define the Meta Majority as sheepish, self-censoring subservients who go along to get along.

The kind of non-thinking useful idiot who willingly bows to trending technocrat narratives.

Such as the defective COVID shots are “safe and effective” and “we’ll ban you if you continue to say men cannot get pregnant!”

Facebook is dead, & for as long as the Meta Marxists running the show continue to cancel people for speaking freely, the “communications” platform designed to “promote community” will remain lifeless, useless & utterly pointless.

Ultimate Cancellation

Whether blatantly deplatformed or shadowbanned, the practice of demonetising is designed to shame a person into submission.

An individual or group is publicly smeared as being the epitome of evil, livelihoods are cancelled, and lives are threatened.

They’re forced to retreat, repent, resign, or rebrand in the image of the age.

This shaming control technique is about manipulating people into behaving a certain way, thinking collectively, and denouncing anyone for anything when told to do so.

Those affected by it include independent journalists or content providers who’ve had success in holding firm to truth, practising the ethos of journalism proper.

Demonetising dissenters online is a taste of things to come.

A cashless society — in the form of digital IDs and a centralised digital currency — hands this kind of technocratic totalitarianism to governments.

The end result is total control by way of punishment at the push of a button.

Who Sets the Standards?

As an extension of demonisation, the bar for demonetising someone is based on what Group B says Group A is.

If Group B screams loudly enough that Group A is “racist”, “homophobic” or “fascist”, Group A is cancelled.

Due process, genuine concern, evidence, and reasoned arguments be damned.

All that matters in this era of post-truth neo-paganism is the morally superior euphoric high of: “If it feels right, it must be right, ergo, convert, pay a tax, or die!”

Good policy is ditched for good feelings.

This kind of emotional manipulation is having, and has had, a massive, negative impact on the world.

Look at how J6 tourists and peaceful protestors are slowly being rounded up as terrorists.

Meanwhile, actual woke weapons of mass destruction, Antifa and Black Lives Matter Inc., are shielded by powerful patrons.

Demonetising also comes with a large amount of hagiography.

Group B is the shining example of sainthood, saving the world from Group A.

Recent examples include misinformation vaxxers vs. informed consenters, BLM Marxists vs. MAGA policy supporters, the Sino-Russian Pact vs. NATO, Israel vs. Islamism.

Neo-Marxists

The power of demonetisation in the hands of government opens up an intoxicating world of possibilities for maintaining power through persecution.

Consider the Marxist and Death-to-America Democrat demonising of political opponents.

Note also their whitewashing of Communism.

For over 60 years in the West, they’ve succeeded in giving the world a saintly view of Marx’s murderous ideology.

A pristine package that includes sanitising mass murder, even justifying it Biblically, under a false doctrine known as the “social gospel”.

This white-washing has been achieved through the demonisation of political, academic, and clerical opponents, as much as through the assimilation of historical figures through deconstructionism.

This leads to the second point: there’s also been a well-coordinated effort to distance Marxism from its murder and mayhem.

How often do you hear the phrase: “Hitler wasn’t a socialist” or “Nazism wasn’t socialism?”

Think about the recent defence of Antifa’s destructive warpath.

While everyone was locked up in their homes “to save Grandma”, Black Lives Matter Inc., joined by Antifa, burned, pillaged, and raped American cities.

Churches were told to stay closed to “stop the spread,” but apparently, carnage-carrying Communists were immune to COVID-19.

Lessons from History

Read a well-referenced history of “anti-fascism” from any reliable primary source, and you’ll find that the “anti-fascists” (code for Communists) were another wing on the same vicious bird.

Nicholas Best’s brilliant and readable 2012 compilation of eyewitness accounts in Five Days that Shocked the World brings many of these conveniently hidden facts further into the mainstream.

Note also how the story of the world’s worst maritime disaster became the least known.

Why? Because the “anti-fascists” controlled the narrative.

Up to 9,000 people perished in 1945 on MV Wilhelm Gustloff when an overzealous and opportunistic “anti-fascist” Soviet submarine captain fired three torpedoes into the ocean liner.

White-washing the event, the official Soviet party line was that the Gustloff was carrying some guns and approximately 1,000 (fleeing) Nazi soldiers.

Despite there being 9,000 refugees, and regardless of the ‘high number of civilian deaths’, even Britannica vomits Soviet propaganda.

Dismissing the killing of Eastern European refugees, Britannica obediently declares: ‘Allegations that sinking the Gustloff constituted a war crime are largely unfounded.’

To this day, demonisation and hagiography are why few Westerners know about the Gustloff tragedy.

By comparison, 1,496 people died on the Titanic, and it is a household name.

One wonders if this is due to socialists at the time calling the sinking of the Titanic a “crime of capitalism.”

Such is the influence and power of demonisation, deconstruction, and even more so, demonetisation.

Coutts Bank’s political persecution of their client, Nigel Farage, is a high-profile example of this practice.

Attempts by Soros-backed DAs in New York City to ban Donald Trump’s 5,000-plus employee business is yet another.

All of this prefaces the importance of keeping cash.

Australians should and must reject the Australian Labor Party’s plans for digital IDs and a centralised digital currency.

As I’ve argued, a cashless society will unleash this demonetisation demon.

Centralised digital currencies will open the door for authoritarian governments influenced or run by far-left ideologues to colonise communities, cancel bank accounts (de-banking), and either outright or by default cancel a person’s life.
