William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason.
Members of the ‘devil’s party’ don’t create: they take what someone else made, and invert it.
Understand that simple reality and you will understand the macro and the micro struggles all around us. When Muslim terrorists hijacked planes and flew them into buildings, they weren’t creating anything, but they also weren’t just destroying things, they were inverting them.
What evil does isn’t mindless destruction, that’s savagery, instead evil takes the building blocks of civilization, physical, spiritual, intellectual or moral, and turns them inside out whether these building blocks are governments, universities or ideas so that they become tools of destruction.
Representative governments become unrepresentative. Educational systems inculcate ignorance. The infrastructure of civilian life, buses, planes, trucks, become weapons. And the infrastructure of ideas and morality are inverted the same way to become their opposites.
Ideological inversion is everywhere and it’s the dominant form of political discourse.
Objecting to critical race theory and other racist beliefs, we are told, is racist. If you don’t believe that some races are more important than others, you’re a racist. If you object to futilely mutilating kids to make them members of another ‘sex’, you hate kids and want them to die.
Real patriots, we’re told, hate America, while fake patriots love her. If you really love America, you’ll spend all your time attacking her. And then support turning over governing authority to global institutions. Those who really care about educating kids support eliminating all educational standards. The best way to lift people out of poverty is to destroy capitalism.
And those who really care about Charlie Kirk are the ones trying to destroy his organization.
Those who claim to be ‘anti-war’ while supporting every invader, from the Nazis (Communists also protested any defense against Nazi Germany during the Hitler-Stalin Pact until the Nazis invaded the USSR), to the Soviet Union to Marxist and then Islamist regimes, that’s not a principled moral position: it’s inversion. Moral inversion appropriates the actual anti-war position an opposition to being invaded, and accuses those resisting the invasion of being the invaders.
We’ve seen this play out more recently when Muslim terrorists invaded Israel on a mission to kill, rape and kidnap non-Muslims, only to have the pro-terrorist movement invert the genocide, the perpetrators and the victims, and turn Gaza’s Muslim invaders into victims of a genocide.
None of this is actually creative. It’s corrupt. Actual creativity brings new things into being. The easiest way to spot members of the ‘devil’s party’ is all they do is corrupt everything they touch.
Beyond the undeniably tactical effectiveness of inversion, the larger agenda of inversion is to convince people that the things that they believe in and count on are all lies, that nothing is stable, nothing should be trusted and that anything that seems strong is weak. And vice versa.
Evil tries to convince us that the world we live in is evil. And that destroying it is good.
The most fundamental lesson that evil teaches is mistrust. Everything is a narrative and lurking behind it are secret gnostic truths being deliberately hidden by an evil conspiracy. Children in today’s America are indoctrinated with this impulse from the youngest of ages which primes them to be lectured about ‘systemic racism’, the ‘military-industrial complex’ and ‘capitalism’.
The revolution begins with inversion because its purpose is not to liberate, but to enslave. The only way to justify the revolution is, as Orwell warned, by making freedom look like slavery and slavery like freedom. Everything good about our lives, children are told, is really the proceeds of the crime of privilege and the only way to make the world better is to make it that much worse.
A good life, talents, skills and success are forms of privilege. The alternative is misery.
If the world is really built on lies, then the truth is a lie and lies must be the truth. Conspiracies become true through the sole justification that they ‘challenge the official explanation’. And anything that does that is innately good because all truths are just an “official explanation.”
And lies become truth and truth becomes a lie, also as Orwell warned.
Inversion teaches people to distrust and reject truth, no matter how obvious, and to embrace lies even if they are obviously not true because they come to believe that hidden truths lurk within lies and that a long gnostic journey is the only way to get closer to them.
None of this is creative either. All it does is invert truth, reality and morality.
The ultimate goal of inversion is to convince us to destroy everything that we have and everything that we have built by becoming evil under the guise of becoming good.
In real life, people don’t become villains by putting on black and cackling madly. They become evil by inverting good and evil. As the Prophet Isaiah warned us, “\Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter.” Inversion makes those who become inverted into the enemies of everything that they once loved. Including G-d. Once inverted, they destroy everything around them while telling themselves that the villains are the real and misunderstood heroes.
