New Death Cult ritual incantation just dropped.
Anyone who’s been paying attention has noticed that the Cult in charge of Western society has a peculiar lexicon. They use it to identify each other and cast hexes on their enemies.
Most of these terms come from STEM fields and are filtered through the soft sciences, where Death Cult priests in academia twist their meanings.
What’s interesting about this new one is we’re seeing the Cult hierarchy issuing the liturgical rubric update in real time.
The Cult’s old term for lone wolf attacks was “scripted violence,” which they liked because it included another hex sign popular with the Cult: “violence” which in their parlance means “Heretical statements.”
But it may have verged too close to Alex Jones territory, and they can’t be seen to associate with one of their most hated foes. So the Cult’s priesthood went digging in the STEM-to-social science pipeline.
In its original sense, “stochastic” means “random” In the original bugman, its specific meaning is “well-described by a random probability distribution.”
But all you have to do is scroll down to the Social Sciences entry to see the Cult magic in progress.
Author David Neiwert, who wrote the book Alt-America, told Salon interviewer Chauncey Devega:
Scripted violence is where a person who has a national platform describes the kind of violence that they want to be carried out. He identifies the targets and leaves it up to the listeners to carry out this violence. It is a form of terrorism. It is an act and a social phenomenon where there is an agreement to inflict massive violence on a whole segment of society. Again, this violence is led by people in high-profile positions in the media and the government. They’re the ones who do the scripting, and it is ordinary people who carry it out.
Think of it like Charles Manson and his followers. Manson wrote the script; he didn’t commit any of those murders. He just had his followers carry them out.
It’s significant that Neiwert is one of the guys popularizing the Cult’s new power word, since his interview excerpt indicates he’s illiterate. Ten-to-one his book was ghostwritten.
But it also dispels all doubts that the proliferation of this phrase in this context is the work of a hysterical cargo cult intended to project their own bloodlust onto unbelievers through magic.
All the hallmarks are there:
- Belief in consensual reality that can be molded by words
- Willful ignorance of the fact that they control the government and media so they can play the perpetual underdog
- Extreme cherry picking to portray their enemies’ statistically rare violence as a public safety crisis while memory holing their coreligionists’ frequent rioting and city-burning
This is all just for your reference. Now when you see some bluecheck spew a word salad tweet that includes the word “stochastic” used wildly out of context, you’ll realize Oh, that message has no denotative meaning. It’s just a cultist witch casting a hex.
By the way, if you’re an author and you don’t want your writing to come off as a Remedial English 101 exercise like David Neiwert’s, hire me to edit your work today.
The word “ontological” was also part of their programming switch recently, though it seems to have since been dropped.
That is our word, hallowed by the Angelic Doctor himself. Satan cannot corrupt it.
I most often saw it in the phrase “ontologically evil,” which is, of course, a contradiction in terms.
Sounds like they used to use it as a substitute for “objectively”.
My understanding is that we reclaimed the words from our enemies and they’re scared as those words accurately describe them.
“Belief in consensual reality that can be molded by words”
The deeper you go, the more appropriate a term ‘witch’ shows itself to be.
Fact check – true
Brian,
This interesting how they corrupt language as if babbling litanies will create a protective bubble to shield them from reality and their enemies.
It’s fascinating and disturbing but they can be defeated.

This is one of the most amusing instances of projection I’ve seen in quite some time. The Left endlessly stirs up this kind of conflict, most notably with racial-driven rhetoric, starting with the Martyrdom of St. Trayvon spun up after Occupy Wall Street profoundly spooked the ruling class, and exemplified by the media-driven 2020 riots.
The only difference is that the Leftist “stochastic” violence has widespread institutional support through their various institutional apparatuses: the media, schools, corporate propaganda, and so on, as opposed to random statements by individuals like Trump or Walsh taken out of context for gaslighting purposes. The hypocrisy of these NPCs knows no bounds, but it’s been repeated so many times that it’s practically a truism at this point.
It’s not hypocrisy. It’s the friend-enemy distinction put into practice. Never forget.
Hermetic Seal,
As Auron McIntyre has remarked, it’s not hypocrisy but hierarchy.

Yeah, that’s an important point to remember.
What the left’s methods click was the redesign to the gay pride flag this year, with an ugly triangle of clashing colors to represent transgendered and non-white races. It apparently came into existence in 2018, and you can dig around and find “ivory tower” articles talking about how great it is. But it didn’t really show up anywhere “in the wild” until this year. Then suddenly all at once every company and media outlet started using it.
At first there was gaslighting. “No one is making this the official flag, this is just one of many variants people may freely choose to use.” Any complaints about the absurdity of including race in a flag about sexual orientation were dismissed with the same “it’s not really the official flag.” (Just to be clear I think that both the “classic” flag and the new one do nothing but show support for abomination.) Flash forward to today and it has effectively replaced the old rainbow flag. Every company uses only the new flag, and every virtue signaling local store has replaced their old flag with the new one. There was no point at which anyone was actively convinced to swap out the flag; at some point it just hit critical mass and normies accepted “this is what I must use to support the gays.”
Of course, it doesn’t always work. If you go through news articles from 2021 about pride flags, you will see many of the same opinion pushers advancing a similar flag, but with an additional yellow section with a circle in it (to represent “intersex.”) But this got no traction, either because companies weren’t ready to make a play on pride overdose, because the abuse of design was a step too far, bad luck, or some combination. So they tried something else this year and it stuck.
Same thing happens with leftist phrases. They constantly roll out new phrases. You will see them get used in academia and in hyperleftist internet enclaves. But usually they remain there because they fail to gain traction. When that happens they just move on to the next one. They don’t really understand rhetoric, but they do know that if they just keep forcing things for long enough eventually they will stumble onto something that works by happenstance alone.
Antifa is stochastic terrorism. Black thugs hunting Jews and Asians, ditto. And school shooters…?
Albeit well-funded, and protected from prosecution
Oh, of course. The Left are extremely fond of projection. This post is basically a Public Service Update, to make the readers aware of this new Cult Hex so that we can recognise it for what it is. Pointing out that it’s unfair or projection would be pointless at this stage, as they’ve made their total opposition to us clear already.
As the prophet Samuel Hyde once said, “The Knockout Game: Eventually white people are gonna get tired of playing it.”
That was a quick pivot from “Eek! Rosaries!” to “Eek! Words we don’t like!” I think the underlying theme here is “Eek! Reality!” I feel a swell of pity for folks who are so ruled by fear and anger, they’ve lost their minds.
Yes, they hate themselves so much, they flee into a mass delusion where all of their worst qualities are purged from them and infused into their enemies.
Also notice the subtle assumption baked into this term: this removes from the accuser any need to prove actual conspiracy or show examples of actual calls to violence, enabling them to do their favourite trick, that of claiming to be able to read other people’s minds. Not that they ever really cared about any such things of course, but I note that the term is pre-designed to enable their behaviour.
It’s the epistemological version of the “$5? $10? $20?” meme.
“This theory indicates the possibility of unapproved comments inciting violence with a high degree of certainty. We must regulate speech to prevent the inevitable!”
