A functional understanding of the dynamics of emotional plague character’s social behavior is necessary before effectively dealing with it. In an earlier blog (9/25), fomenting mindless social change was shown to be the emotional plague’s weapon of choice. Although generally true, this does not provide an understanding of the specific methods that the plague has at its disposal. To understand and deal with them, knowledge of the psychopathology of groups is necessary.
A strategy of the plague is to set up an antagonistic, sadomasochistic relationship between different groups of people and exploit it. To generate social tension and conflict between blacks and whites, for example, leftist radicals function as provocateurs by politicizing feelings of victimization and resentment and fomenting hatred of whites by blacks. This predictably leads to destructive social action on the part of some blacks through rioting, looting, and a temporary reaction of force on the part of the police that accomplishes nothing in the long run.
The leftist provocateurs actions must first be identified and exposed as criminal acts of the emotional plague before these flames of racial discord can be permanently put out. But before this can happen, people have to begin thinking in a different way, functional thinking, that corresponds to the way things function.
