On Gaslighting, By James Reed

Webster's dictionary defines the term "gaslighting," as "psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator." The term actually came from a1944 movie, Gaslight, dealing with a man who marries a woman who he thinks has a set of lost jewels. He spends the nights searching for them in the attic of the home they share. While he searches, the lights in that attic cause all the other house lights to flicker. His wife wonders about this, but he attempts to convince her that she is simply imagining it: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/04/08/so-you-think-youve-been-gaslit

Blogger Anonymous Attorney points out that the concept of gaslighting captures the Great Replacement of Whites perfectly:

"Gaslighting essentially turns its targets against themselves by harnessing the capacity to empathize with others by recognizing the shortcomings of our own self-perception. Its betrayal is that it takes an "ethically productive" form of humility—the awareness that one might be wrong—and turns it into a liability.

This seems to capture white displacement beautifully. The demographic fact of the displacement is irrefutable, yet we are told over and over that it either isn't happening, or if it is, we shouldn't worry about it.

Beyond that, whites are made to feel crazy or stupid for even bringing up the topic. Like the "hysterical woman" who notices the flickering lights, whites are "evil" or "racist" for noticing that their country no longer belongs to them.

Whites are uniquely sensitive to the imagined feelings of other races. You can get their hearts beating and tear ducts cranking with appeals to the claimed suffering of other races in ways that are not reciprocated.

This trait, turned inward, works well to prevent excessive intra-racial violence and to promote cooperation, but turned outward, becomes a weakness."

Indeed, the entire system of domination and control which we have experienced in the raw since Covid has been one long gaslighting operation. The technique is used in all the big public debates now, from immigration to climate change.
