“This is the dawning of the Age of Hysteria”

The New Neo Posted on by

New song lyrics by Gerard Vanderleun. It helps to know the original.

Actually, I think the Age of Hysteria may have dawned quite some time ago. But that’s a minor quibble.

Also, let me add that I think it’s cold calculation and planning on the part of the Democratic and leftist leaders, for the most part, in order to induce a feeling of hysteria in their followers.

ADDENDUM: And this might be as good a place as any to put a link to this clever bit of satire.

  1. It has become distressingly apparent that almost all members of The Resistance are completely impervious to sound arguments based on facts, evidence, reason, and logic. They are driven purely by emotion and quasi-religious fervor, the current Great Awokening being a secular (and far more potentially destructive) version of the famous Great Awakening from our national history.

  2. My wife has quit watching TV news programs. She leaves the TV on all day but is now watching animal programs. I think the left may have over reached and may now have driven even their own followers to tune out.

  3. I saw “Hair” on Broadway…I remember getting very tempted to get up and sing and dance to that original song. One gal in front of me got up and left (for the time being) just before the fully frontal nude scene. Would any female be that shy nowadays?

  4. Seems as if the media updates us day to day with the latest, baddest Trump is done story because he maybe said, did or thinks bad things, probably most likely and now here is what “experts” think about it, whatever the it of the day is. And then they turn to the most important news about celebrities and sports figures I never heard of doing things I don’t care about while the world is heating up and running out rain and ozone causing too much snow too early this year. And as Sonny & Cher used to say, “The Beat Goes On” La de da de de, la de da de da . . . . .

  5. Gerard – pure genius.
    I tried to fit the Dutch (?) subtitles into the melody, but they didn’t scan….
    Also, thanks for posting the Democratic Impeachment Town Hall today – it doesn’t even look like a parody.

    The Ricochet piece was hilarious; I expect Snopes to factcheck it any minute.
    One of Dr. Bastiat’s commenters had a suggestion for Mr. McConnell that echoed a couple of commenters on Neo’s posts:

    Phil Turmel
    Maybe he could announce the whistle-blower tipline, operating under the new hearsay rules….

  6. Neo, thanks also for the link to Dr. Bastiat’s piece at Ricochet. I hope he visits over here, so he can see how wonderful I personally think his piece is. Not to be missed. Hilarious and Right On!

    (Didn’t comment at source because I don’t sign up to comment at sites where you have to sign up. Although I do have a junk-e-mail address for Giggle & Dis-cuss spam.)

  7. The dawning of the age of hysteria and the McConnell press release were truly hilarious. Of course both would be water off a duck’s back to the left. They have no sense of humor.

  11. Pushback against the hysterical.

    Entitled Yale students are sick with ‘protester derangement syndrome’
    By Esteban ElizondoSeptember 28, 2019

    Yale students enjoy luxuries akin to European aristocracy. Students live in resort-style housing that includes lavish feasts, massage parlors and recreational spaces that boast everything from a printing press to a pottery studio. However, Yale students afflicted with PDS display derangement symptoms similar to an oppressed religious cult. They refuse to interact with the world around them. They have demanded the buildings be renamed. They support the desecration of art. They sanitize history by demanding professors exclude certain authors from syllabi.

    The Yale administration believes they can treat PDS through concessions and pacification. Unfortunately, their prescription has been ineffective. The disease has even spread to graduate students, who in 2017 held a “hunger strike” as part of their attempt to unionize.

    For some background, graduate students receive a full-tuition scholarship, funding for their research, full health coverage and a minimum $31,800 “stipend” that goes up by year. That still was not enough. They decided their working conditions were so unbearable and their employer so hostile their only choice was to go on hunger strike. Except they ate anyway when they were hungry.
    …
    Some PDS behavior is typical, but this was just too much. There had to be other rational individuals who would sympathize with my frustration, and there were. With the financial support of the Yale College Republicans, I hosted a barbecue next to their hunger strike. It was a huge success, with about a hundred students turning out. I took much comfort knowing there were other sane people on campus.

    Honestly, I do not care one way or the other about graduate student unions. I’m not even a member of the Yale College Republicans. What I took issue with was the detached self-gratification that motivated their little stunt. Why should people like me be silent when individuals appropriate the sacrifices of true activists to push their own agendas? People have died hunger-striking in genuine campaigns against staggering oppression and persecution, and no one has the right to spit on their memory the way those students did.
    …
    Just this past Wednesday, I was at a lecture when a student stood up and loudly announced he was going on strike for the climate. He proudly walked out of the auditorium and was joined by about a quarter of the class, who proceeded to have a mini-rally on campus. Apparently, the protest included attacks on “racial capitalism,” whatever that means, and calls to free Palestine. I guess one symptom of PDS is forgetting what you are protesting.

  13. This the Dawn of the Golden Age, which is actually better translated as the Golden Race.
