The World Is Being Run By Crazy People

We have a home-grown example of this--the residential schools. It seems that legions of native people were abused, tortured and killed in these schools...and there are more every day. We are now in the 3rd or 4th generation of people who still claim to be damaged by it, because their ancestors were. Those who speak up and say "it wasn't so bad--we got fed and I learned some good things" are quickly shushed. I'm not saying there weren't abuses, nor am I saying that it was right to disconnect children from their homes and culture, but the picture is seldom the way the victim industry would like to paint it.

The attempt to identify yourself as a member of the victim class is supposed to invite sympathy and admiration for having "survived" (not to mention the financial breaks that often come with it). It's glamorous. It also cheapens the experience of those who truly are victims of injustice. Oppression by victims is becoming a favorite tactic of left thinkers. And if you can corral enough victims and launch class action lawsuits, you're laughing all the way to the bank.

Just for fun, watch a variety of newscasts tonight and take a tally on how many times you hear the phrase “heroic battle."

And, if you cannot empathize with their plight, that proves you're heartless.

Yep, the victim mythology is totally ingrained in our culture.

The exploitation of human suffering through manipulation of their emotions is totally disgusting, yet is dressed up as some type of affirmation of a person's worth.

Those who disagree ... off to the gulag.

Victim schmictum...zero to hero.

Look these lame assed hustlers milked the government teet to get their sinecure in the sun.

Whatever happened to plain old vanilla flavoured heros?

Well you can't have that any more, because that would be predicated on the notion that there are objective things in the moral sphere that are considered both evil and good.

Regular vanilla flavored heros got dumped along with the notion of an objective morality, when it all got replaced with moral relativism...

Hey, my mother really did come from Frankenstein, can I be a victim hero? Will somebody cut me a check, I need the money?

Psalm 68:19-20

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation.
20 Our God is a God of salvation; and to God, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

Well Hell bells escaping from death belongs to God...so to be a hero means to defy death, or at the very least to laugh in death's face.

'A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."'

Which brings us to the following piece of wisdom:

"To be almost saved, is to be totally lost."

rita, you're right about Rez schools. We had one near my hometown. The kids who attended never mentioned any abuse and seemed to be just as happy and well-adjusted as any of us non-Indian kids.

I remember several elderly folks who went to the RS mentioning how good the teaching was and their gratitude for receiving a food education.

In any situation where you have large numbers of people working for a common purpose,odds are that there are going to be some misfits in the group.

The renowned British boarding schools were,according to some,rife with physical and sexual abuse, but somehow the graduates of those schools conquered half the world.

Unfortunately,the MSM is only interested in portraying the bad guys,and have no trouble painting everyone with the same brush.

The government decided,back in the 1980's, to just give every Res School attendee a few thousand bucks if they claimed abuse,rather than spend countless millions investigating all the claims. I believe it was about $3600 per complainant.

You get another example of victims here:

No religion in public schools, unless of course you're a Muslim.

Affirmative Acting.

For smart people, white heterosexual people have turned out to be the dumbest losers on the planet.

""Except: Camera whore Longoria couldn’t resist taking a televised DNA test—and learned to her shock (watch her expression) that she’s actually 70% “European.”"

When last I checked, Spain was a part of Europe, where many of the ancestors of today's Latinos came from.

Otherwise I agree with the premise of the article.

Thanks for the link!

Warning:

Taki commenters can be...

weird...

And Edward, of course you are right but most Latinos don't "carry the one" that far when they do the genetic math. When they say Latino or Hispanic they mean "a brown person from any country south of Texas"

"And Edward, of course you are right but most Latinos don't "carry the one" that far when they do the genetic math. When they say Latino or Hispanic they mean "a brown person from any country south of Texas"

I'm pretty sure that also applies to the White liberals who enable this "new victimhood".

I think when you take a DNA test it should be to see how much of yourself is white. If you are 5% white then you should be called white and entitled to all the free perks that are now in place for people who are part Indian, Black, Hispanic, etc.

They got it all reversed. After all the discrimination against whites is because on one fact...they are white and everyone wants to be white.

The residential schools were the last attempt at ameliorating the cycles of dependency and depravity which had evolved from the mostly ghettoized Indians after conquest, surrender or treaty negotiation (choose one - the outcome doesn't change). The ghettos remained after the children had been schooled. The children went home to their families and other than creating a more literate populace with which to nurture revisionist history, expand legitimate abuse charges to systemic proportions, and utilize the white pimp Indian Affairs bureaucracy for more grievance and entitlement, nothing has changed (for the better). The revisionism has since conquered the governing classes up to and including the SCC and now the 3% apartheid leadership are essentially competing for sovereign dominance (resource shakedown leverage) over the Dominion. Meanwhile, back on the reserves, the cycles of dependency and depravity continue unabated.

Trudeau and Chretien knew back in 1970 that assimilation was the only viable direction but at the last minute, jammed out and killed their White Paper. The rest is thoroughly revised history.

The mendaciousness of the victimhood culture runs even deeper. It is hugely detrimental to the supposed victim because it perpetuates dysfunctional behavior. I'm sure we can all think of episodes in our lives in which we got the short end of the stick in some form or another. But if we then dedicated our lives to seeking redress for every injustice done to us, we'd have little time left to move forward and would spend most of our lives rehashing our pasts. Whereas, like most people I'm sure, I can think of several instances in which I was done an injustice, I've always kept in mind the saying, "The ultimate revenge is success."

I have yet to see a picture of the children in the residential schools, who weren't all happy and smiling, and I think it was because they were well fed and out of the environment of a drunken home life. There was certainly abuse, physical and sexual, but little of it was "child" abuse, more like consenting teen abuse. Abuse nonetheless. But in a newsreel on one of the channels about the charges brought against a priest at (Alkali Lake, as I recall) residential school, one of the natives whom the reporters tried to encourage to disparage the system, told the reporter that it wasn't easy for the teachers and clergy - that they were a handful, a bunch of little savages (his words) and pointing up at he Church and school, said that is where they taught us to forgive, so I have to forgive!

There was a time when people were truly victims of terrible circumstances (war, poverty, ect) but carried on. Now, people not only crave material rewards but they crave the pity. It's a psychological illness and we are enabling it. Why? We cripple them and ourselves.

We cripple them and ourselves.

Thank-you for that wise, clear question, Osumashi. Pity destroys the giver and the taker.

Thank you.

I have no idea why anyone would crawl into this bird's nest of nuthatchery.
