Chauvin Personifies Instability from protected collective superior hysteria
Derek Chauvin was a member of the Minneapolis Police Department and in his career he received two medals of valour and two commendation medals.
Derek Chauvin introduces a new emphasis on chauvinism because he became and remains a living example of how the modern influence class especially in its politico media form unquestioningly unites and in a single voice will install as a scapegoat even someone who was doing the duty society expected of him
The mainstream conservative and progressive media on this occasion both join hands by always presaging Chauvin’s name with the title of murderer.
Such is their compulsion to be seen as conforming to the approved theme that the journalistic sphere in its desire to be accepted fails to see that in their unquestioning attitudinal harmony they reprise Napoleon’s fanatical booster Nicolas Chauvin.
Their shrill modern chauvinistic horror is of breaking polite society ranks and expressing an independent opinion.
In the new Minneapolis version of a Chauvin case the entire spectrum of western institutional media in lockstep choruses the approved song book on the victim-oppressor theme ignoring anything centred on public safety.

No single element of this quite new opinion moulding class declares or even hints that officer Chauvin’s actions were made in the course of seeking to protect this very class and the working public that sustain this privileged class.
In the communal insistence on always describing Chauvin as a murderer instead of someone who was trying to the job that the community had employed him to do we find the fulfilment of René Girard's Mimetic theory.
This holds that scapegoats are individuals who are instinctively chosen by a community to bear the blame for social crises and conflicts.
In Gerard’s theory this community in arbitrarily implementing the scapegoat mechanism seeks a cause for all the conflict it can pin on the scapegoat.
It now collectively projects its desire for vengeance onto the chosen victim, who is then blamed for causing all the trouble and who is expelled from society such as the permanently incarcerated modern Chauvin, the Minneapolis law enforcer.
This concert of confected outrage aimed at the contemporary Chauvin suddenly became supercharged.
Elected representatives from the White House downward in pledging to uphold public safety now joined in a chorus about the need to disable the police force through “defunding” it.
An exonerating luxury belief system, a superior hysteria, can also threaten external security. NATO for example quite simply stood by passively as its members reinforced the enemy the pact was organised to defend itself against.
A legacy media supposed to expose exactly this kind of mass wishful thinking was itself hopelessly captivated by the dominant polite society suite of ethical beliefs.
It fawned over someone they now described as the “Mother” of Europe and the way in which Angela Merkel for so long and for political expediency compromised in order to stay in office the security of this same Europe and thus NATO by indulging fringe aesthetic luxury beliefs.
Ukraine even exceeds Pearl Harbour in the false security stakes.
There had been the prelude to disaster only years before in which Russia had successfully annexed Crimea knowing that Allied wishful thinking would allow Russia to get away with it.
The way in which superior hysteria cancels out unpleasant facts unbelievably is still dominant in NATO now.
Britain’s government refuses for instance to acknowledge the vulnerability of its undersea power lines to the new generation Russian pipeline and cable cutters.
Under the influence of its dogmatic yet avant-garde government along with its captive media Britain doggedly adheres to eliminating its traditional but non-U power sources and thus knowingly places Britain’s national security firmly in the hands of its sworn enemy.
