‘People often suffer from ideological intoxication; some even lose their sanity. There was a similar ideological intoxication in communist times, but I think many at the time were just pretending to be poisoned. Now, this intoxication is much more dangerous, because it is not imposed by force, it is gently and imperceptibly instilled – through the media, the public sphere, social networks. Therefore, many perceive these ideological dogmas as their own. Unfortunately, not all people are capable of analysis and understanding, ‘a professor at the University of Latvia, Dr historian Harijs Tumans. He is one of the founders of the Latvian Men’s Association. Today – an interview with Hariju Tumanu.

It started quite a long time ago, a process that has been going on for decades. However, active attacks have started relatively recently, with increasing pressure on traditional values, which are being actively dismantled. These include aggressive propaganda, ideological censorship, and, among other things, a ‘cancel culture’, which effectively kills freedom of expression. This is pressure on those who represent and defend traditional values.

Maybe you remember, very recently, there were attacks on social networks for a woman who allowed herself to say that it is unacceptable for her to promote same-sex relationships in society. There was a huge avalanche of hatred over her. This tendency, hatred towards those who think differently has become very active recently.

We see that peaceful coexistence is over and the war of ideologies has begun. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult for conservative forces to defend themselves. What a person says is subject to censorship, a person must not ‘misrepresent’ sexual minorities, religion, blondes, women and men, skin colour or ethnicity. Those who represent conservative values are most often denied a say, but left-wing liberals are free to speak. Those who represent normalcy and common sense become a minority and an object of attack.

But, of course, there is no discrimination. There is no prohibition in the articles of association to join the association, but its name states that it consists of men. Women also participate in our society: for example, lawyer Baiba Rudevska, writer Inguna Roga-Saulīte help us very actively. 

I see that there is a crisis of masculinity. Our society is strongly feminised, the feminine is aggressively highlighted, but the masculine is oppressed. It is not for nothing that the White, heterosexual, Christian man is currently most at risk. 

It is a deliberately designed and paid policy. For example, it has just been officially announced that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has dedicated $2.1 billion to the fight for ‘gender equality’. By the way, this fund spent less than $ 1.75 billion on combating covid, so this so-called pandemic seems less important to them than the feminisation of society and the imposition of the relevant ideology. Life shows that the fight for women’s rights often leads to discrimination against men, and this is now called ‘positive discrimination’, which is absurd in itself.

It is clear that today a woman is becoming more and more masculine and men more feminine. This creates disharmony in gender relations and undermines the traditional family. Moral weakness, insensitivity, cowardice, trying to avoid responsibility are common among men today. 

It is no wonder that there is a shortage of men in Western society today, that is, a lack of masculinity. Because when migrants harassed German women, it turned out that there were no men in Germany who would be able to defend their women. But if a man is unable to defend his wife and family, it is a disaster.

The general trend is clear: the stronger a woman is, the weaker a man is. In fact, if a woman wants a rag next to her instead of a man to grow her strength. The world is crazy. Propaganda and mass culture turn the brain into jelly, as a result of which a person falls under the mainstream influence and loses the ability to think independently. 

I call it ideological intoxication. Many even lose their sanity and can no longer adequately perceive reality. Similar ideological intoxication was seen in communist times, although I think it was not as effective as many merely portrayed ideological zeal. Now, this intoxication is much more dangerous, because it is not imposed by force, but is gently instilled through the media, the public sphere, through social networks. 

And many people are beginning to see these ideological dogmas as their own. Unfortunately, not all people are able to analyse and understand. Another factor is the degradation of education. As a result, new types of people are emerging, such as what is in demand in today’s situation: without their own thinking, without the backbone of confidence, and easily influenced. 

In August, our country and its capital will host gay pride but the school song festival was banned due to a so-called pandemic. Don’t see any segregation? Or, the participants of the song festival would be threatened by the covid, but the participants of the pride are immune to it?

Just like Orwell: some animals are more equal than others. If the song festival has to take place remotely, why not hold a pride remotely? It shows what this mainstream really is and that it is against the traditional value system.  We may come to the conclusion that freedom of expression and expression will already be officially banned, but the next step will be persecution. 

This trend could destroy civilization around the world, and it now looks like we are probably already heading for a global catastrophe. The parallels with the demise of Ancient Roman civilization is quite vivid: the loss of values and moral degradation, the collapse of the family, the influx of barbaric masses, the economic crisis, and so on. Today, those times differ only in the level of technology, but the essence is the same. History teaches us, only we do not want to learn.
