  • I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. -Martin Luther King Jr

    It seems that sort is equally bad when it comes to letting Nazis in the door.

    A depressing amount of people have a combination of ‘don’t rock the boat’ mentality and a belief that since something doesn’t/won’t affect them, then it doesn’t matter.


  • Probably because it used to be that being ostracized from our towns/clans/whathaveyou was basically a death sentence.

    Getting criticized for something could potentially lead to the town/your family driving you out. Either through the people listening to the complaints deciding you weren’t ‘good’ for the town, or others dogpiling on with their own complaints, real or imagined.

    You have to remember, there were bandits, wild animals, and deadly weather outside the protection of our small groups. And that’s assuming you got to survive the ostracizing in the first place.

    The Bible gives a rather chilling example: if your kid is disobedient or troublesome, drag them to the front of the town and loudly criticize their behavior. Then, it is the moral imperative of the town to assist you in stoning your kid to death.

    With things like that being a social norm, is it any wonder we developed a fear of criticism?




  • DEI is better for them because it hits two birds with one stone: their hatred of people darker than printer paper in the workplace, and their belief that ‘promoting people beyond their means’ (that is, people of color getting higher positions) destroys the very fabric of society.

    The Alt-Right Playbook goes into it in more detail, but basically these numbskulls think that the proper way for we humans to live is in a rigid hierarchical society, with the Great And Wise Leaders at the top, and everyone on each tier of the pyramid ‘sticking to their lane’ and not trying to ‘rise above their station’.

    Of course, they’ve decided that old white guys are the ones who should always be on the top of the pyramid, and enjoy all the benefits of society without owing anyone anything.

    It’s why they love racist rhetoric; they’re always looking for some justification for them being higher up on the pyramid—which means, by default, more people need to be below them. With the magic of racism, they don’t need accomplishments or even money to achieve higher levels! Skin color alone bumps them up the ranks.
