A Normie Frees Herself from the Matrix

Do you remember this famous scene from the first Matrix film? Shown below is a wonderful young woman who appears to have gone through a similar metamorphosis. What’s critical to realize is that such @Walkaway videos will have 1,000 times more impact on center left folks than anything you or I can every possibly say to them will.

  1. Her blurb is way too long. I got the message in the first few minutes … loud an clear. At one point a third of the way in, I thought she might still be trying to convince herself that she was on the way to a better attitude and life style, then I nodded off.

    1. J W, that is a characteristic of liberal democrats, way too many words with little substance. Let’s hope she means it and manages to convince others her age.

      1. Give her time, she just woke up, and is turning into an adult. All those lengthy descriptions and explanations are part of working through the cognitive dissonance.
        She’s fighting long term built-in prejudices. Typical for anyone that has truly woken up to the BS we find ourselves surrounded with.
        She was a teacher, and is a nurse. That’s pretty strong programming to overcome.
        And with luck, she will stop talking like like like a valley girl.
        It’s quite something, that what hit home was her ER experience, where proggy policies conflicted with common sense and proper health procedures. We see this everyday now in BC, where the NDP and their Health “authorities” now are giving nice, pure, clean drugs to the addicts to shoot up, because “save lives”. Of course, they overlook the fact that they are now the pusher, that this is not a solution, opiates are POISON, and that they are contributing to the eventual death of the addict. Yet, all the public is told is wishful thinking bromides, and how virtuous they are by “saving lives”.
        And these are our health “experts”………the same ones telling us how to deal with Covid…….

    2. If it helps, I always play talking head and interview vids like this at the fastest playback speed that keeps them intelligible to me, usually 1.25 or 1.5, up to 1.75 if they are slow talkers. I play Scott Adams’ daily vids at 1.5. It’s a great time saver!

    3. Well I don’t think it was too long. This was probably the first time she announced she was “a conservative woman” and yes, probably a little self-justification and re-assurance in it. But she explained in detail for her familly why she came out, as the homosexuals might say. I expect her familly doesn’t talk to her anymore.

  2. Slightly off topic, but I would think the vile attacks on The Covington HS kids would be the turning point for anyone with character, integrity, and basic intelligence. I urge you to remind others of this story at every opportunity. It is emblematic. It really exposed the left and its media gatekeepers for the sloppy , and sneaky liars, that they are. Never forget the avidness of the left to prey on innocent children to advance their malignant narrative . They would have lynched those kids, if some tech savy people hadn’t looked for and located the unedited video and copied it before it was taken down. It was a very near thing. The media crusade was creepy, pathological and reeked of opportunism at the expense of the innocent. There are still public figures that won’t acknowledge their error and culpability, including a presidential candidate. Can you name a Democrat who stood up to the MOB, when it was happening? Never forget.

    1. Can you name a conservative in Canada who has stood up the fascist bastards and their cov2 insanity in good old canada.? Dougie is not one.

  3. So she “like” went to “like” college to “like” teach “like” young “like” children. I taught my very bright young daughter that if something is “like” something else, that does not mean they are identical to what you are attempting to discuss. I bless this young lady for waking up nevertheless.

    1. Oh come on, she’s a New Englander transplanted to become a valley girl. I expect that of Californians, not anywhere else, though. A horrible habit

  4. …a true form of the voice of feminine reason!

    all of the same reason(s) why I left SoCal in 1971 as a 26 yr. old young man to come back to Canada after my parents moved there when I was 12 yrs. old.

    1. But in 1957, California was a happening place, it really was THE place to be. But I would say you got out in time.

    1. I’m with you .
      I found it very interesting and I’m fascinated some people seem to have the ability to do what she and I did and others don’t seem to.

      1. Yes, I was a hard-line Dipper until late in life – she was smarter than me. Her description of her thoughts as she doubted he left’s storyline ring true.

  6. “What’s critical to realize is that such @Walkaway videos will have 1,000 times more impact on center left folks than anything you or I can every possibly say to them will.”

    The leftist bubble is better designed than you think it is. By all accounts leftists never watch WalkAway videos, except to laugh at them.

    What the video will actually do is prove to the young woman who her real friends are. If she’s lucky, the father she was lied to by her leftist mother since early childhood will be ready to take her back. Her mother will have disowned her, her friends will have ostracized her, her employer may already have terminated and blacklisted her.

    Once globalism is crushed and control of the media, education and criminal justice systems is back in the hands of the people, a wholesale deprogramming scheme may be feasible.

    Give the leftists what they thought they wanted for us—abject slavery, doing the dirty, dangerous work they swore white people wouldn’t do, and being told daily that they are worms whose death would be no loss to anybody.

    Make them confess their crimes to their overseers. Make them do it again. And again, until they finally hold nothing back. Every dollar they stole, every bribe they took, every brick they threw, every child they molested, until it finally sinks in what absolute pieces of trash they are, their iniquity matched only by their vanity.

    Once the vanity is crushed out of them, then, maybe, they can be transformed into decent, loyal Americans who believe in God and are willing to work for their daily bread.

    It will take a lot of work to make decent people out of leftists, if it can be done at all. A YouTube video won’t cut it.

    For now, I would rather rejoice for her soul. At least as a conservative she has a chance of returning to the God of Israel, and of eternal salvation. Leftism is a one way ticket to hell.

    1. “Give the lefties”, “Make them confess their crimes”, “Once the vanity is crushed out of them”.

      Well SG, it’s obvious you want to apply a lite retort and a modicum of punishment for their sins.

      As an atheist, the God part doesn’t fit with me. I’m not a rabid atheist, and respect people that have faith, as long as they don’t try to convert me, but it does get old when you keep pushing it. I think most of the reasonable lefties, (if there can be such a thing) don’t even realize they have been brainwashed. You don’t know, what you don’t know, and surrounding yourself with like minded folk, continues the same narrative they have been programmed with.

      She lived in that bubble for a long time, and is still extracting herself from it, its a “walk away” not a sprint. Hence the “like” and the hair sweeping, and the longevity of her Video. Yes, I also see it as relating to her former lefties more than as explaining to those of us that are already aware. She’s also still probably seeking her platform as a new conservative, finding solidity, and solidarity, at the place where she has now arrived. Yes, she will lose many friends and relatives, so it took courage to do what she has done. At least the friends and family I still have, know my views and are still part of my circle, so they are actually genuine. They know all about me, but like me anyway. I therefore don’t have many friends, but cherish the ones I do have. Its also true what else was said on this thread, once you are awake, they can’t reach you, or color your thoughts. We no longer live in a truly free country, but at least once we’re awake, our minds are free. They cannot take that away from us, and that is what frustrates them, they can’t turn us into lefty zombies.

    1. I hope she carries out her Nursing duties with a bit more alacrity.

      Ha! So she was a teacher for a few minutes of her life … because “education” is EVERYTHING to the left. Not really “education” … but the “idea” of education. The politics of education. So she noticed the top-heavy bureaucracy of (what did she say?) the Memphis school district? OMG! Memphis. I can only imagine. The difference between her (as a teacher) and my own teacher wife who works in the most “urban” of urban environments … is that my wife has NEVER been part of the education Matrix.

      My own wife loves children. That is her #1 guiding principle as a teacher. She teaches children when they are young and (mostly) untainted by a system that indeed practices the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. She sees children as wonderful little human beings, each as individuals. Their own unique little HUMANS. She doesn’t “see” their color. But she does “see” cultural differences that prepare these children for success or failure.

      This obsession with racial politics DOES consume her school district. But she totally ignores it. Her kids and their families love her, because they experience my wife’s dedication and belief in their children. They KNOW she deeply cares for their child. You can’t fake that. You can’t put a political label on that. She has her share of “challenging” students with special needs (mostly emotional basket cases) out of her annual 30+ kids … and she treats them as equally capable … Evan as she diverts a disproportionate amount of her time to them.

      The Leftist politics of UNIONS, who run the schools, are harmful to children. Thankfully, there are teachers like my wife who never had to #walk-away from anything. Who ONLY care about the kids.

  7. I agree with Paul and RichFisher. She has almost 5000 subscribers which is a good start.
    Her description of the effects of media brainwashing on, otherwise, thoughtful people rang very true.

    Where did Robert find this message/link?

    1. Maggie, her video just appeared in my YouTube feed. Perhaps because I’ve watched many #Walkaway videos before.

      DanBC above really hit the nail on the head: She’s working her way through her own cognitive dissonance. I found her video very compelling.

      What many commenters on here don’t seem to realize is that publishing this will cause her to lose many friends and acquaintances. To be able to consciously lose many of those around you who you’ve known for a long time is a very brave thing to do. Sure, it’s not like hitting the beaches on D-Day but it’s surely much more brave than all of us posting pseudo-anonymously on sites like this. She deserves credit and praise.

      1. Robert – I couldn’t agree more. Kate should have a contest for all the brave typists on here. Whomever sends her conversion video to the highest number of (liberal) friends and relatives wins a book or two.
        I thought she was very clear and made multiple timely points on all the major Woke talking points including a very unique perspective on her first-hand account of dealing with aborted people.

  8. You were doing well until you start into your “God of Israel” silliness again.

    God is not the God of Israel. God is part of everyone whether they know it or not. Right. Left. Muslim. Jew. Black. White. Man. Woman. Gay. Straight.

    God does not care about any one particular geography over any other geography. God does not care about your political affiliation, your sex, race or sexual orientation.

    SG, you need to understand that you are the reason people on the fence get turned off by Conservatives.

    1. His religious tenants are the least of his problem. His racism, authoritarianism and misogyny are more toxic but he is indeed a posterchild for guilt by (conservative) association.

    1. Agree with others that she’s talking to readers of the Atlantic and NYT. She was brief – no description of what people ate or were wearing.

    2. I thought it was great. 47 minutes is appropriate when you consider that she is discussing her journey to undoing decades of brainwashing.

      I can say, “the media lies, Democrats lie, Republicans and Trump are not evil Nazis” and exactly zero brainwashed lefties will listen and be convinced. This isn’t intended to convince right wingers that what they believe is correct. It’s intended to get some people on the left to say “hold on…I feel the way she does…maybe I’m not really a Democrat”.

      A 30 second bit saying “I used to vote Democrat now I’m voting for Trump” is about as effective as a celebrity endorsement…means nothing except to people who already felt predisposed to support that candidate.

      And for those complaining she said “like” too much, I just saw that as evidence this is not a highly scripted, overproduced piece. I think it made her more believable, even though it was distracting.

  9. I ran into a young lady in LA about ten years ago who was working on her Masters of Business Administration at UCLA. She said she wanted to work for a non-profit or a Non-Governmental Organization.

    I asked her about her schooling and the first thing she said is that she had to take economics – and that some of the professors in that department were “real capitalists”!

    She seemed shocked and disgusted by this. I could hardly believe her attitude, but it’s more obvious now. We’re doomed.

  10. There is this saying apparently paraphrase of a French bottomfeeder of 19th century.

    If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain
    https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/

    The earliest evidence appeared in an 1875 French book of contemporary biographical portraits by Jules Claretie. A section about a prominent jurist and academic named Anselme Polycarpe Batbie included the following passage: “He who is not a républicain at twenty compels one to doubt the generosity of his heart; but he who, after thirty, persists, compels one to doubt the soundness of his mind.”

    Isn’t it interesting how the white supremacist, colonialist, imperialist …. and on and on thrash, comes up with all this stuff?
    And for some unexplainable reason hits the media cartel and the ministry of truth straight between the eyes, just slightly ahead of their time.

  11. She has some of the primary points, or the errors. of Marxist propaganda..

    The Caste System (Caribbean, East Indian) that individual ancestral roles are absolute and determine your place in Society… Slavery, Wars ETC… If your ancestors had Slaves you are dammed for eternity (hence the White Race). “Slavery was the Ownership of Humans by other Humans”…..That was what was abolished…The Employer/Employee relationship replaced Slavery, work was still required by ALL races & some adapt better than others… ALL races in the World practiced Slavery in their past societies…Buying & selling Humans was normal

    The Caste system depends on Relatives & others in the Caste to OPEN doors… The Normal White race know they can/will open their own Doors…. A person may get a job by normal Networking, or the Caste System, but promotions are most always individually earned by performance & appropriate communication (letting the Boss know your desire for more authority)…..Getting in the door alone will not result in a healthy work career..

    1. The Canadian Indian grievance Industry is the worse example of the Caste System….Abolishing the whole Indian Act & letting the culture pay for the part/parts it wants will be the final result…Existing Policy is not sustainable…..The Marxist dogma of Guilt by demonizing whites has waned, nobody should give a Fuck..

    2. The BLM, Antifa Marxist intensions are not obtainable in the USA, as long as the 2nd amendment STANDS and Individuals demand FREEDOM over Communism…

    JMHO

  12. Would suggest that there are many that call themselves “journalist” that would really, really do the same as the young lady.

    There is no chance in hell that they can do that and remain being journalists.

    Brainwashing is very powerful in the collective, once one free self from the collective, it is by the very nature of things that they realize that it is right thing to do.
    It is not that they don’t know what the truth is, it is the collective thinking that installs certain amount of fear to be excluded and to be ostracized from the collective.
    Once a person becomes its own, there is no one that can insult them, make them feel inferior or any other such feelings that the collective insist on.

  13. I half listened to the video while I worked. (Her voice was non-intrusive).

    Last night, I had an experience with an retired relative who only watches CNN and who is full TDS. The depth of my relative’s indoctrination is mind boggling. He has always been liberal (we’re Canadians) but now speaks like he is full blue-blue-blue democrat. I refused to engage, I was there to see folks I hadn’t seen in a while, not get yelled at about Trump’s taxes or about ‘splained to about how great Biden is. He almost succeeded in ruining a nice glass of patio wine on one of the rare late-September patio nights of the year.

    The one thing my relative and I agree on is that the US polarization has certainly come to Canada, he just sees it in everyone else but himself.

    It is easy to see the world splitting into two over this madness.

  14. Great post.She is growing up,away from emoting and turning toward reason.
    Live and let live is a concept the Borg cannot comprehend.
    She is singing “I am the slime” by Frank Zappa.
    And I bet she has never heard of him.

  15. In a way I feel sorry for her. Apparently it has taken years for her to realize what is incredibly obvious to many of us. She says she lives in California, probably in LA. Tell her to get out of there and move to a small town in the western US or Canada. Meeting real, ordinary folk whether they claim to be conservative or not, they tend to look at the world using common sense. That alone should knock most of the left wing nonsense out of her head. I moved to a rural area for my lifes work and upon retiring had no desire to move back to any city. I had rather got used to the honesty, the acceptance of people at face value and the many other values of a true small c-conservative area.

  16. Said this here the other day, i.e. one should never talk about 3 things with friends, family and acquaintances, that is, politics, sex and religion.

    If she does that she’d be okay with everyone and not have to worry about getting dissed or even shunned. If she prepared and used the honest reply, anyone who continued to probe her, wouldn’t be worth her time, going forward.

    I think the reason that she went on and on was because she might still harbor a few guilty feelings about switching sides and was trying to convince herself that she was doing the right thing. That’ll change as she gets older, likely. She was brainwashed that one never changes Party. True, that does happen in America. I’d worry as to what happens after Trump. Will America go Socialist?

    Lastly, this woman would be really disappointed in the Conservative Party of Canada. We are so frigged!
