Occult Feminism: The Hidden History of Feminism

[smølf]

The video, titled "The Truth About Feminism" by Rachel Wilson, presents a critique of feminism, arguing that its roots and objectives are not solely about gender equality, but rather about female dominance. This perspective is traced back to ancient goddess worship, specifically the Hindu goddess Kali, who symbolises female power and dominance.

In the historical context, Wilson suggests that many suffragettes were spiritualists, fortune tellers, tarot card readers, and spirit mediums. This spiritualism, she argues, provided a platform for these women to voice their opinions more freely, attributing their words to the spirits they were channelling.

She also discusses the portrayal of women in popular media, where they are often depicted as dominating their relationships and workplaces, reflecting the feminist ideal of female dominance.

Wilson delves into the history of witch trials, suggesting they were not solely the result of superstition. She posits that these trials targeted midwives, many of whom were practicing witches and performed abortions, suggesting this as a reason for their persecution.

Discussing the cult of Kali in India, Wilson suggests that it was eradicated by the British during their colonisation of India due to the cult's practices of kidnapping and sacrificing British soldiers.

She further explores the role of Theosophy and British intelligence in the feminist movement, claiming that Theosophy was a British intelligence operation. She also mentions "The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, suggesting that it was written as part of a British intelligence operation.

Finally, Wilson discusses the role of Alexandra Kollontai, a Bolshevik revolutionary, in legalising abortion in Russia. She suggests that Kollontai was a British intelligence agent who played a significant role in advancing feminist objectives in Russia.

fascinating read

throughout history, as long as there's been undesirable women to desirable men, there's always been feminists

the early suffrages of the 1910's were radical feminists too who weaponized masculinity itself against the male population via the White Feather Movement that they would use to brand any man who didn't sign up for the military as cowards not to be reproduced with which led to boys as young as 14 dying during WW1

once WW2 was over, feminists who were jealous of being undesirable to desirable men would convince the female population that traditional gender roles for women were "oppressive" while ignoring the "oppressiveness" of traditional gender roles for men thus the more undesirable women there were, the less lonely they'd feel

feminism can only gain traction by having as many undesirable women as possible because misery loves company

I did not read or watch this. I have known about the origins of Feminism being connected to the occult for at least 20 years.


I’m very glad you took the time to write this as very few people know feminism is deeply and inseparably connected to the occult.


In my views the occult, and particularly any form of witchcraft is connected to Satan.


That said, I strongly doubt you’ll get any feminists to seriously look at the connection. They hate God and are perfectly comfortable with Satan.

[smølf]

I was new to me, I have to confess.

[Exterminatore]

It’s not a well known fact. With any left wing doctrines you must carefully get to the bottom of it as there are many deliberate attempts to mislead, manipulate, and cover up the the truth.

Other topics this has been done with are the Crusades and Indian land being stollen by Americans.

When you start really looking into history you find what we’ve been told of those historically and the how’s and why’s they happened you find the facts have been grossly distorted and also deliberate attempts to confuse the issue and hide the past.

@Exterminatore So true. A lot of history written after WW2 is pretty warped.

[Mariammhan]

True tbh sorry but yes

I am aware that feminism has roots in spirituality, and that over millennia, women have outlived men and were once sought out for their age and wisdom. These things were always perceived as threats to men because they offered things that men could not. They were the healers, the medicine-women, the midwives, the storytellers, and had experience of many years that people respected.

In ancient Egypt, women were valued for the knowledge and given private quarters for performing functions, specific for women such as menstruating, child-birthing, breastfeeding, and rearing. Men had their own superstitions about why they should be kept separate to handle such things.

The Burning Times was considered the worst femicide in history. Women were beaten, raped, and murdered just for being women, and the system had the decks stacked against them. Murdering women became a business, and it made a lot of men money as they were the lawyers, the judges, and the persecutors. Sometimes, a woman's own possessions and land were sold to pay for her own hanging.

Over time, women have had terrible luck at fighting for their lives, and today--retaining equality. It is only within the last few decades that women have made a stamp on society in western culture as being their own individuals, able to live and thrive on their own without the permissions of a man to help them get by in life.

Our past has been so rooted in religion and spirituality in almost every culture, that it is no surprise that women who practiced magick were considered both evil and wise, depending on who they were dealing with. Men didn't have to worry for their lives just for being men, being smart, or capable of helping others. However, women did.

"Discussing the cult of Kali in India, Wilson suggests that it was eradicated by the British during their colonisation of India due to the cult's practices of kidnapping and sacrificing British soldiers."

But even more importantly, it was bad for business. People often do not understand how much of the British Empire was a business arrangement.

[smølf]

True, different subject but true. Unlike the French, who sought power, the British Empire was always based on profit. When the rebellious America became too expensive to fight and keep, they gave up and allowed the colonies to form the USA. They left Afghanistan due to the high expenses needed to control it, etc. Often territories were made protectorates, which minimised the military needed but ensured trade rights.

Of course, any empire, including the British Empire, had complex reasons, often involving a combination of economic, political, strategic, and ideological factors.

[worldscolide]

Seems about right, though I would be careful posting the truth like that, the mods and admin despise the truth.

[Exterminatore]

All left wing scum and their cronies hate the truth.

[smølf]

Oddly enough, these are the approved takes but have not been published even after one month:

The biological sex: Understanding intersex conditions ↗

Unlocking the surprising outcomes of sex positivity ↗

While this take was published immediately.

[worldscolide]

Ouch. Yeah I get that, the admin hates the truth

[smølf]

I was not aware they moderated so heavily.

[worldscolide]

It depends on which side of the political spectrum you're on. If you're a leftist, you're fine, if you're anything close to center or right, you get heavily moderated.

[smølf]

Why did they not sensor Occult Feminism then? It's not exactly what the left wants to hear?

[strateguy632]

that explains certain types of complaints they say.
