Danielle Johnson was worried about the eclipse.
The astrology influencer and “divine healer” who went by the name Danielle Ayoka online called the upcoming astronomical event “the epitome of spiritual warfare” and told people they needed to “pick a side,” in posts on X on April 4.
Less than three days later, in the early morning before the partial solar eclipse, Johnson left a trail of tragedy in her wake: her partner stabbed to death in the kitchen of the family apartment in Woodland Hills, her 8-month-old baby dead after being pushed from Johnson’s moving Porsche Cayenne on the 405, and Johnson herself dead after crashing her car on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.
There are 2-5 solar eclipses every year and people still went nuts and committed murder this time.
Total solar eclipses happen every one to three years…
Also, people go nuts and kill people every damn day
Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.
Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.
I’m going with meteor shower.
Also people just kill other people every damn hour without going nuts.
And on top of that, they’re predictable hundreds of years in advance. We’ve known exactly when and where this eclipse was going to happen since before her grandparents were born. But somehow it’s a bad omen.
We know the position of the planets know to the second. Still not a single astrologer predicted COVID except in the usual vague “There might be a challenge ahead” kind of predictions.
Esotericism is absolute cancer. A lot of those people don’t even understand that eclipses are very localized events. They’re moronically stupid. Even more so if they’re people of color, because this whole subculture is full of Neonazis.
Bro there are tons of reasons to hate New Age without pretending it’s a front for the Alt Right
I kinda agree but the bit where she was intensely antisemitic does fit pretty well with what he’s saying
Alt Right = far right. No need to support this rebranding either. And sorry but it is literally riddled with it. Ever wondered why those aliens from the Pleiades are white with blue eyes and blonde hair? Or why their little communities / villages don’t accept people of color? Or why their conventions & books are full of Nazi symbolism? The “Greys” & lizard people are also often behind the whole Pizzagate / child eating Qanon bullshit. And don’t even get me started on the antisemitism… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_Nazism
I unfortunately have way too much personal experiences with this whole topic to not call it by the name.
Bro Hitler liked dogs, painted, and ate vegetables, are Dogs, Veggies, and The Arts white supremacist too?
Ever wonder why The Scream was so afraid? This was his response to learning about the passage of civil rights! And 101 Dalmatians? It’s actually about how Cruella DeVille was trying to stand up to the Far Right! /s
Jokes aside: Look I get that Nazi groups have latched onto New Age ideas, but pretending New Age is inherently fascist in and of itself is a tired talking point that I’m just tired of entertaining. New Age is bullshit, but we should attack it for its empty platitudes, rejection of evidence-based medicine in favor of what boils down to “Ignore the problem hard enough and it will go away”, and how it enables sufferers of mental illness to give into their delusions instead of seeking help…
When we say it’s secretly a Nazi thing, we just sound completely insane and like we’re the ones peddling conspiracy nonsense.
They didn’t just “latch onto it” my guy.
And its Nazism. I don’t see why you struggle so hard to make an exception for this one thing. I mean I do see why, I just think it makes you part of the problem.
It’s not really a secret. Here’s another one that’s spreading and there’s many such groups all over the world, founding private communes to indoctrinate kids and new members to spread their ideology. If you don’t understand how big of an issue this is then I really don’t know what else to tell you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_Cedars’_Anastasianism
all that esoterica garbage is seeping with conspiracy theories, also og nazis were deep into mysticism too
Wait, do you mean that non-whites go crazy because they’re neonazis themselves? I’m a bit confused, as I know very little about this subculture but it sounds counterintuitive.
They’re saying non-whites are especially crazy to be part of this sub-group because the sub-group is full of neo-nazis.
What TheDoozer said. If you’re from the US, it’s like black people or LGBT folks supporting Trump.
There won’t be another total eclipse in the contiguous US until 2044. Still no reason to kill someone.
America!
It’s more like eclipses occasionally happen at the same time people commit murder…
