This Just In: Lyndon LaRouche Hates Halo 3, World of Warcraft, You, and Second Life
If you read Wikipedia, Lyndon LaRouche is one of the most influential political thinkers of our time, responsible for the Strategic Defensive Initiative, economic policy in Russia, and Wikipedia itself. He was a political prisoner, and a serious contender for the US Presidency.
If you read websites not called Wikipedia, Lyndon LaRouche is a fascist, a cult leader, an anti-Semite, and has an unhealthy fixation on the Queen of England.
However, a new article from the LaRouche Youth explains the real menace facing American life today: Dick Cheney’s plot to have us play computer games.
The more substantial subject for investigation is: How does one young adult get corrupted into becoming a psychotic-mass killer, or a mere useless drone for the likes of Anti-Nation-State Fascists, such as Felix Rohatyn, George Shultz, or even their dupe, Dick Cheney? The most obvious answer to any thinking individual— is to dehumanize the image of human beings. There are many tedious details and complexities that go behind the production of such games as Counterstrike, World of Warcraft, Entropia Universe, EVE-Online and Halo 3. However, once that dehumanizing process has been accomplished, the ability of making useless wars (like that of Iraq, today) and mass killing of innocent people, as in the case of the Virginia Tech incident, are stepping stones for the unleashing of a New Dark Age.
Then follows a chart. See?
No, I don’t get it, either. Somehow, this explains why we play games instead of writing arpeggios or something. But thankfully, the LaRouche Youth Counter-Intelligence Squad is doing its job to counter intelligence and is on the case:
With that reality, an investigation by the current LaRouche Youth Movement counter-intelligence team is ongoing, to look at the deeper implications of this “Brave New Cyberworld.” Two things come up that are prevalent with the creation of these games. One, is the mental psychosis of the vulnerable adolescent or young adult, who are gullible to these fictions. The second is the fostering of specific types of “virtual world” games— supposedly designed for mere entertainment, such as the hedonistic Second Life, or Halo 3. Either way, the dehumanization process occurs in any instance, by the first-person shooter games’ precision to kill another object, or by the adoption of an arbitrary set of anti-scientific, anti-principled rules, like that of Second Life, or even the great Ministry of Truth—Wikipedia.

Can you dehumanize a spaceship?

Spaceships don’t kill people. Goons kill people.

I was going to say they are crazy but then I saw they have a chart and everything. I have to seriously rethink the direction my life is headed.

I get the chart, but I don’t get how it can be related.

I guess I need to try Entropia Universe because I’ve played the others and enjoyed them.

If you rotate the graph 90 degrees, it looks like the back-end of a thong. I think that’s what he was going for.

Where I come from people like that are most often employed shouting at pigeons in parks, we don’t let them run for President. I read his rather ‘breathless’ view of the British monarchy, is he some kind of American in-joke that foreigners don’t get?

On one hand, this seems to be a simple blending of the old “bread and circuses” with the newer concept of “desensitation.”
With “bread and circuses” we have the concept that a people that have their basic survival and basic entertainment addressed are rather malleable and unlikely to cause a great deal of social upheaval.
That’s not always the case- as we saw during the social upheaval of the 60′s, a socially-conscious population can be very disruptive when they’re not preoccupied with fending for themselves.
That’s where the desensitization comes in. Make sure they’re not socially conscious, that they don’t empathize with others, that they’re not affected by graphic scenes of destruction at the hands of their own government.
Not that I buy it, but that seems to be part of the rationale here

Well I thinks theres a point here, yeap where becomming more and more robotic beings, using our opposable thumbs to play video games and send sms, way to gooo humanity.
And actually it all has been the same through human history, yes there was a Mozart, Einstein too.. a Hitler, Bush (a Napoleon wannabe), its all the same, intelect vs dumb people with power, the only difference nowadays, is the power the media and mass market has, we can learn and sell anything from/to everybody and conect to them instantly,.. NOW thats whats scares me the most!

It’s not much fun to argue with the LaRouchies. My brother had a friend who ended up joining them, and he went from an interesting laid-back artist to a… well, a freak. But a freak who could recite arguments directly from a LaRouche pamphlet that ran to many thousands of words of pseudo-philosophy and half-assed 19th-century economics.
Scientologists will lie to your face. LaRouchies will cite a dozen ‘thinkers’ you’ve never heard of, in an attempt to make you think they’re S-M-R-T.
I prefer the Scientologists. At least you can hope that somewhere, deep down, the original person behind the cult facade is aware of the crazy shit coming out of their mouth.

Most of the LaRouchies were purged from Wikipedia some time ago in a series of Arbitration Committee cases. What got them banned was putting him in places he didn’t belong. For example, inserting his proposed solution to in article even though no-one outside of his cult has ever heard of it.
