In this workshop we cover the first section of Chapter 6: “Normal People under Pathocratic Rule.” Specific topics:
how pathocrats think that they can change the nature of normal people, but can’t (they just traumatize them through propaganda and terror)
why pathocrats can’t grasp that the reason is human nature, and not the influence of foreigners or old ideologies
the traumatizing/personality-deforming effects of pathocracy on normal people (e.g. numbing of conscience, vulgarization of language, over-control of emotion)
the long-lasting psychological effects on the character of people in post-pathocratic nations (like Eastern Europe)
how youths are protected until school age, but their adolescent years are deeply affected by pathological material – the worst results are in those who are born into a pathocracy
how those who haven’t lived in a pathocracy might think they understand it, until they experience it for themselves and are disillusioned
the self-protection mechanisms normal people develop to survive and maneuver within the system (adaptation and resourcefulness)
what therapists can do for those who have suffered under pathocracy to ameliorate the negative effects
does what Lobaczewski describe correlate to what is going on in Canada and the U.S.?
how communist “brainwashing” and “mind-programming” were actually effects of psychopathic influence
The next workshop will cover the second section of Chapter 6: “From the perspective of time.” This will cover pages 247-257.
